hey guys just got back from fnm and i went 4-1 losing to a esper control deck
my matchups in order were: bant midrange, gw landfall, bant midrange, esper control, and jund and i ended up placing 3rd winning 4 packs and getting a sadistic sacrament, sphinx of the lost truth, misty rainforest, and a spinx of jwar isle
I see....Yeah, I play casual for the most part, so my first thought when you said 'double red' was Cascade Bluffs, followed closely by Graven Cairns.... Heh. Yeah, Pyroclasms work fine I guess, I just prefer the Instant uncounterable ones....
ah casual players lol
alright will i do generally prefer fallout it's just in this meta i need to some what keep up and i also need to somewhat conserve my life total
I like it, but I don't quite see the use of the Sphinx of Jwar Isle outside of it's body. Also Volcanic Fallout > Pyroclasm, I.M.H.O.
it's the sheer fact that it has shroud and yeah it's still a decent flying beatstick
on the fact of pyroclasm over fallout i need pryoclasm cause my deck has a slow start and it's easier to cast then fallout's double red in fact i was thinking of adding more pyroclams to be honest

I actually really want to mod this, though I'm not sure if we're going to want a setup closer to a Basic game or closer to a Normal/Specialty game. At any rate, I have ideas either way.
oh why is it when i suggested this in the last thread no one payed attention but whatever if we can get one going i'd play granted it'd be my first ever game of mafia but still whatever i like tring new things
I have thoughts about Summoning Trap. So I built a deck. It's in the Goldfishing Phase of Testing. I need help with it. Anyone willing to help can check this thread.
idk i think i like the standard version with cobra's and etc. to speed it up but that's me
How would you build that differently assuming you possess all necessary cards?
well for starters i would've put jace and esper charm in there then i would've found a way to fit path's in the i'd probablly end up removing the wall's(both kinds) and lilliaana to fit them in but this is just off the top of my head

QFT
and as i said i would post a description of some of my matches but all i remember are the most epic wins from my games and there are 2 of them
one was in match 3 game 2(he won the first game) we ran out of time and we went to turns it was turn 4 on me and i had a chandra nalaar with 3 counters on her a ajani vengent with 7 counters on him and a liliaana vess with 8 counters on her and a lightning bolt in hand and niether one of us had a creature. he had 15 life and so i draw a cruel ultimatum and i ping him with chandra(14 life left) then i lightning helix with ajani(11 life left) then i tutor up another lightning bolt with lilaana cast cruel(he's at 6 life) draw the second bolt and double bolt him for the game
the other epic win was in match 4 game 3 this also went to time in round with me on turn four after he just cast a sphinx of the steel wind. he was tapped out with a obelisk of alara also with 6 life left. i had a baneslayer out but couldn't attack cause of the sphinx but i end up drawing a cruel ultimatum(he's at one life) and draw 2 land and a ajani vengeant i play the vengeant and helix him for the game. this was epic cause he had identity crisis'd me twice in one game and i had cast cruel ultimatum twice already but his obilisk of alara had kept him alive through a barrage of baneslayer attacks and cruel ultimatums
i know that some of the card choices are questionable but i didn't have all the cards i wanted on hand and i didn't want to scramble to much to try and get the cards because i literally built the deck like 5 minutes before the tournament so i didn't really have the time
but i'm not(hopefully) in guessing wubrg
my matchups in order were: bant midrange, gw landfall, bant midrange, esper control, and jund and i ended up placing 3rd winning 4 packs and getting a sadistic sacrament, sphinx of the lost truth, misty rainforest, and a spinx of jwar isle
my deck list was
1x plains
4x arcane sanctum
4x crumbling necroplis
2x glacial fortress
1x exotic orchard
2x swamp
3x island
3x mountian
4x rupture spire
2x scalding tarn
1x drowned catacomb
Creatures:
2x baneslayer angel
2x sphinx of jwar isle
3x path to exile
4x esper charm
2x essence scatter
3x lightning bolt
3x ajani vengeant
3x negate
1x chandra nalaar
3x day of judgment
2x mind spring
4x cruel ultimatum
2x pyroclasm
1x magosi, the waterveil
1x negate
1x essence scatter
2x swerve
2x deathmark
2x obelisk of alara
3x celestial purge
3x goblin ruinblaster
so tell me what you think
i personally think the deck ran smoother cause it had more removal and more card draw
ah casual players lol
alright will i do generally prefer fallout it's just in this meta i need to some what keep up and i also need to somewhat conserve my life total
