  • posted a message on Black Green reanimator
    I want to make a standard black green reanimator deck, it looks like fun. I saw some lists for black green white but I don't wish to go three colors and I just traded away Sylvan Caryatid

    The main reason I wand to play this deck is because I really like Nemesis of Mortals

    Any suggestions?
    I have to go to work so I don't have time to post a list suggestion.

    When I splash I have developed a taste for grabbing 3-5 cards that use 1 of the splash color instead of like 2 lands and 1 of the card. With 1 in 10 lands if your splashes are 3 or 4 mana you should still get them on time.
    But it also depends on the rest of your pool as well. If you have 2 bombs that cost triple of 2 colors or lots of 2 of a color card I don't advise going with three colors.

    If you are mainly red you can get away with less

    If you are mainly blue or green run 18

    If it pays for 1/2 the draft think about it

    If it pays for the entire draft grab it!

    This is a basic way to go about it you can often lose a pick or 2 to pay for the night

    cut the nivmagus elementals for young pyromancer

    I found Flamespeaker Adept to be great in limited you might be able use it to great effect in standard

    If you want it more aggressive we could use nivmagus cyclops over the flying

  • posted a message on What budget deck to play
    I love white whinnies but I don't wish to spend the money to splash 2 colors

    I am a paper player and using moto just for some fun times

    So looks like RDW

    How does the fast RDW without reckoner look? anyone got a link for me?
    I would rather grab 4 stomping grounds and play grull then 4 reckoner

    Still might just mazes end because I CAN! (seems good but loses to RDW Frown drat)

  • posted a message on What budget deck to play
    I am thinking of making a standard deck post rotation on MOTO
    I do not wish to spend very much money on my deck at all and I am debating between a few options

    Mono white winnies one of my favorite arch types and very cheap

    Grull argo seems really good and cheap I don't want to have to buy shocks but they are not to bad online

    Mono green

    I was thinking red white could be strong as well running young pyromancer burn spells akroan hoplite and perhaps the 2 drop heroic in white. I wonder if it could be viable to hit him with 1 point of flames of the fire brand and send 2 at a foes card to buff all of your cards

    I have other ideas for standard decks but if I do go more than 1 color I want to play one I will play in modern and grull agro can be a pretty good budget modern deck so I would go with that.

    What one would be very cheap and quite good for its money cost?
    Also do you think I could do grull agro without stomping grounds?

    Ok finally, should I just go mazes end? HUE HUE HUE!

    That being said my friend had great luck with the phyrexian crusader in his grixis control deck for versing America Control.
    If you do want to use this guy you can try doing for a slower kill then combo infect taking out many of your pump spells and nickel and dimming him until he dies.

    I have had some success with Red Green infect. Running ghor-clan assault strobe, simian spirit guide, colossal might and just not caring about blockers. Just plow right over them. I tried it at GP detriot and did well early on but the deck has so much trouble verse living end and jund that I failed latter on. It was very much an all in deck and hope they did not have an answer.

    Quote from Orochieddy

  • posted a message on Starting pauper
    Hey I have recently acquired MTGO and I want to play on it but I do not wish to spend much money since I already have a good amount spent in paper magic and have some expensive cards in paper magic so I was looking at pauper, due to an interest in a new format to play as well as a low cost.

    My question is what deck should I biuld for my pauper deck?
    Information ordered by importance
    1. I do not wish to spend very much money at all, in fact I enjoy cheaper decks more. I refuse to buy serrated arrows, costs to much on mtgo
    2. I am bad at the control mirror
    3. I like combo/buff style decks
    4. Decks I have looked at and liked
    a. green-post I like the ramp/land destruction deck but I worry about banning of cloudpost
    b. mono-black I like the stealing life aspect but the unearth seems to be more expensive then playsets of many other cards played
    c. Eye candy (this nivix cyclops deck) I feel this may be a good option due to the amount of nearly standard cards so those will be easier to get
    d. stompy looks like a fine deck to play (I play infect in modern so I know a bit about when to buff) but I don't know who expensive it is due to its tier, is the most expensive card in it rancor?

  • posted a message on Questions about the casual room and deck construction
    I work at an after school and summer program for kids and some of them just started getting into magic, simply put I made some very casual decks to play with them.

    My best advice is to make your deck really silly, and use cards that you always wanted to but that where never quite good enough.

    The best thing to do it not make it super stupid, sure cruel-ult is fine but when you go and have counter spells from t2 to t15 and never let them play a card, well if you want to shut someone off play competitive

    Casual is great for those decks that you wish you could play in modern but you can't make them quite all there
