Hey, I've been messing around with this as my first standard deck. I'm not sure I have enough card draw and also I have no idea how I would deal with a critical mass of creatures besides splashing another color which I'd rather not do. Deck: Dimir Control   //Main 2 Ętherling 4 Far // Away 4 Desecration Demon 2 Dissolve 2 Doom Blade 2 Essence Scatter 4 Hero's Downfall 2 Read the Bones 2 Syncopate 2 Ultimate Price 2 Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver 2 Opportunity 2 Whip of Erebos 4 Temple of Deceit 4 Dimir Guildgate 4 Watery Grave 8 Swamp 7 Island  Display deck statistics

My buddy made a deck for our first standard event ever today. We're basically looking for alternatives to desecration demon (are there any?) and anything else that's money. Creatures 2 Returned Phalanx 2 Lifebane Zombie 1 Mogis's Marauder 3 Liliana's Reaver 1 Erebos 4 Gray Merchant 1 Abhorrent Overlord Spells 4 Pharika's Cure 4 Doom Blade 4 Hero's Downfall 2 Duress 2 Thoughtseize 4 Underworld Connections 1 Whip of Erebos Nykthos, 3 scry-lands just for scry, and a bunch of swamps. We don't really have the cash for a bunch of mutavaults so to replace the early bodies we're thinking the phalanxes.

Boxn posted:If you splashed white Alms Beast might be an option, although a lackluster one. What color are your scrylands? We've got 2 UB ones and a WB one. Tempted to try a couple of guildgates (no more than 6 tapped lands though) to splash alms beast or let the phalanxes attack if we have extra mana. Also, I'm messing around with an enchantment based white weenie deck with a couple of Ajani's Chosen. It's pretty nice being able to put an enchantment on a phalanx leader, getting a free 2/2, then moving the aura to the cat so when the leader eventually gets doom bladed my threats are diversified. Edit: It's also cool when you have heliod on board and every time you make a cleric you get a free 2/2. TheLawinator fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Oct 14, 2013 |

Ok, so this is the deck I want to bring to my first FNM standard. I like a solid portion of the cards in here, but I'm not totally set on the eidolons, they're less 1 drops than 4 drops unless i have a really aggressive hand. Sideboard-wise I actually really like the idea of Soul Tithe for non-white planeswalkers and such. Goes a ways to mitigate the mana advantage that control decks might have. Deck: Mono-White Enchantment Aggro  //Main 4 Ajani's Chosen 1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride 4 Ethereal Armor 4 Phalanx Leader 4 Fabled Hero 4 Precinct Captain 4 Gift of Orzhova 1 Path of Bravery 2 Spear of Heliod 2 Sphere of Safety 24 Plains 3 Gods Willing 2 Brave the Elements 1 Heliod, God of the Sun //Sideboard 1 Heliod, God of the Sun 2 Soul Tithe 2 Glare of Heresy 2 Rest in Peace 4 Banisher Priest 4 Hopeful Eidolon Display deck statistics

TheLawinator posted:Monowhite deck stuff Tested for a couple hours against mono-red this morning. Having no solid play until turn 3 kinda sucks, since Precinct Captain gets jetted or striked. Probably gonna find a spot for blind obedience.

So, I got a chance to get some nice playtesting in with my Deck: Mono-White Enchantment Aggro Basically went like this: Match 1: Jund Game 1: Made voltron of fabled hero, didn't have a lot of followup after the 2nd doom blade took it down. Game 2: Managed to build up a solid mass of tokens and such with Precinct Captain while jund bricked. Game 3: Killed a couple deathrite shaman then banisher priested a desecration demon for the win. 2-1 Match 2: UWR Control Game 1: Played solidly around verdict, elspeth ended the game for me though. Game 2: Did not draw any of the 8-12 possible answers for elspeth, lost. 0-2 Match 3: RG Dinosaurs Game 1: Dealt well with xenagos, could not deal with stormbreath dragon. Game 2: Turn 3 ember swallower, turn 4 monstrous and polukranos, turn 5 swing for 20. 0-2 It was pretty bad. My matchup against RG seems absolutely horrible and I have no idea how even mono-red is fast enough. I never got a chance to actually truly enact my game plan. All I got to do is every once in a while suit up a dude for solid damage. I don't know where to go from here on sideboard strategy or modifications I can make. Blind obedience is great against aggro, but I don't feel like I'd have a problem if I saw it. Or I guess RG dinosaurs is actually aggro?

AlternateNu posted:Mono-white is just bad in this format which kind of depresses me. There just isn't enough card advantage in white to recover from control's one-for-one removal and green's ramp/swarming tactics. I've tried a weenie heroic deck, a devotion Nykthos into early Elspeth deck, and white Boros, and all of them suffer from card disadvantage. Unless you splash blue for Sphinx's Rev (which requires UU to cast), you really have nothing. Gift of orzhova actually was pretty huge for me tonight since evasion and lifelink on one of my doublestrikers was huge. The numbers on Glare and Soul Tithe actually should be switched, 2 and 4 respectively. Soul Tithe was decent. I understand blind obedience and might find a spot for 2 of it though. The entire night I did not get to take advantage of any text on ajani's chosen. The whole voltron up a fabled hero is basically a crutch. I dunno what I'm really going to do with this, tempted to go in the opposite direction and try to slam angels of serenity.

AlternateNu posted:Ignore enchantments. Just go straight devotion with Boros Reckoner, Precinct Captain, and all the big 2/1 1-drops. I can tell you. Getting Elspeth out on turn 4 is kind of nuts because assuming you can keep the Nykthos ramp going, you tap 6 tokens the following turn for Devout Invocation. Yea, that would be super fun but with reckoners being 16 bucks now and elspeth at 28 it represents a bit heavy of an investment for me. Still trying to look for sleeper hits in there that I can get on the cheap.

What's your list for WW? I'm thinking about how I can take my stuff a bit more aggro. At the same time I was wondering about actually playing gideon or haunted platemails as a replacement for mutavault until I had the cash as post-verdict threats.

Yea, I saw a big white deck the other day at a standard event. Didn't play planar cleansing, but ramping out angels of serenity was pretty real.

Skyjek is a great chunk of power. I'd probably leave scrivener in the sideboard. Swapping some number of Familiars for ultimate prices or doom blades might be nice, also popping soldier of the pantheon to 4 of. I don't feel like Sovereign is a 3-of, and depending on the matchup you might even want to swap it for Arrester. Depends on whether you want to gear for the black or red matchup.

That looks almost impossible to curve out on. Edit: This is at the 3 color aggro deck.

So, after looking at those hyper budget decks that were posted a while back, I'm interested in some for modern/legacy. There was a UB infect deck that might have been better as BG. I'd just like something that I could bring if people at the store wanted to play those formats instead of standard. Just for fun, but not crazy terrible.

Gravy Train Robber posted:I have no idea what a Legacy infect deck would even look like. How would it be different from the Modern BUG version? The infect deck was for Modern. Also when I'm talking about budget I mean hyper-budget, the UB one was like 8 bucks. I saw a list for an interesting modern creature storm deck that could be fun. 20 Mountain 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Goblin Bushwhacker 3 Myr Superion 4 Priest of Urabrask 4 Storm Entity 4 Desperate Ritual 2 Empty the Warrens 4 Gitaxian Probe 3 Lightning Bolt 4 Manamorphose 4 Pyretic Ritual I'm just thinking a 20 dollar deck to mess around with.

Medomai can't attack during extra turns, even ones that the specific iteration of Medomai didn't make.

Man_alive posted:I thought that if the rules text referenced the card name, then it was in relation to THAT card, which is where I got the idea that if I dropped a second copy, and ditched the first, you could get around the whole "can't attack" thing. Nope, if you somehow had timewalk or some other extra turn thing active, Medomai couldn't attack then either.

My local store is doing a pauper league and I'm trying to help my friend make a rakdos deck. Blightning is just too good of a card. Is there a common that is even slightly like the rack or shrieking affliction? Other than that, do you guys have ideas for a solid rakdos pauper deck?

DarkRider09 posted:I want to build a Jund deck since it looks like the kind of deck i would really enjoy. But with rotation looming I'm worried about investing in cards that won't be around for long. Specifically Domri. I've seen jund builds without domri, the more noncreature spells you have the worse domri is.

Alright, not sure how helpful you guys can be since I have BUDGETARY RESTRICTIONS, but what improvements can I make to this modern deck that aren't blood moons and fetch lands? http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/24-08-14-mardu-murda/ It's WRB tokens with young pyromancer, pack rat, a fistful of discard, and the hopes and dreams of a small child. Just put it together... a couple of hours ago and have no idea what to do with it. The sideboard is basically what I had with WB tokens transplanted over and it shows because it's crap. Despite that I quite enjoy the deck!

Vatmother doesn't die to bolt. I'd suggest a copy or two of Runechanter's Pike so you can put the game away reasonably quickly if you have to. Inquisition of Kozilek is great, not as important as the nexus probably.

They're not actually my mutavaults, so can't sell em off. I like feast and famine better since my deck likes to tap out yet still hold things up for the opponent's turn, also if I manage to have it out with a pack rat I can make 2 rats a turn! SYNERGY! I could probably fit a terminate in somewhere.
