Game Day DFK —April 17, 2015

3-2 at Game Day DFK

Took this deck out for a 1st time test run Game Day and came away with a 3-2 win result. Very satisfying for a homebrew! :) When this wins, its overwhelmingly crushing - went 2-0 against different decks:

Jeskai Heroic (thankfully one of the decks I had playtested against). Since this deck lacks removal, we need to make sure we handle the 16 or so critters n watever pump spells that come out. Sideboarded Duress in and the rest was pretty much history.

Abzan aggro: this was strange, played against 3 decks, one of them a Pro Tour Brussels entrant. The PT deck got pretty much steamrolled, but the other 2 decks were a real battle. Both games dragged quite a bit but after 3-4 removals, we would always end up succumbing to a late game Elspeth, Sun's Champion. The sideboards were alright, but I need more dash critters to go around sorcery spees board wipes.

4C Control: This was the last match up, and it was......weird. I had no idea wat the f*ck the guy was trying to, milling his own deck for jeskai ascendency. Had to scratch my head figuring out wat to sideboard. No matter, he got steamrolled.

Nice deck, i'm also building one of these to play this friday.I don't have the Thoughtseize but i play with the Obelisk of Urd. Also i don't have the Foul-Tongue Shriek yet and play with more removal.I'm also considering to make a splash of white, but probably only when theros block rotates!

Thanks for dropping in man. White splash looks like the most logical progression, considering now that there's enough interesting human warrior cards to support the meta, plus Secure the Wastes, which would be bonkers even in a mono white build. I'm waiting for Marsh Flats to reprint in Battle for Zendikar, that would ensure speed and consistency for the deck.

Yes, for sure it will be great to have those 2 cards longside with some other warriors in white, but for now and before Theros rotates you have Mogis's Marauder that is a great advantage on evasion and it uses devotion, so white would make it harder to perform.
