You want to go Red/Black because Burning Inquiry is a HOUSE in your deck.
If you just have 1 underworld dreams and 1 lilianas caress in play it reads R - each opponent loses 9 life. The random discard actually ends up helping you and hurting them more often as well, as you can keep dead cards in hand or lands. They may not be keeping extra lands in hand or are saving their bombs and they will get randomly discarded more often than not.
A metagame with only 12 people is bound to be inbred, it doesn't matter how good these people are at deckbuilding it will NEVER be the same as the meta we the players shape.
Cards change throughout testing, they don't get to test the cards as we see them for 2 years like we do, they might only test the version that gets printed for a few weeks.
1- have aristocrat and play angel with fiend in graveyard
2- fiend exiles angel let it resolve
3- sac fiend to aristocrat
4- return angel to field, returning fiend hunter
5- go to 2
If there isn't a large play group for you to play with, you could try playing online. I believe they still do set redemptions too, but I don't play online so I'm not positive on that.
I just redeemed 4x sets of innistrad on mtgo. Granted its not something a casual player usually does. You can still do it fairly easily if spend enough money or are above average, and it will still end up being cheaper than buying full sets in paper.
I dunno, the interface has always told me exactly what it was looking for with more complicated cards. I think the problem lies with the fact that people do random **** and want the game to do what they want to do, not what they are telling the game to do.
Play MTGO, mws has the lowest of the low skilled players and won't help you improve at all. There are cheap ways to get into MTGO, and as long as you are playing constructive events, it's not that difficult to go infinite.
Really your only option to get better if you are serious about competitive. The pickup games are usually against decent+ players and you have access to PTQ level+ skill level tournaments all day long. It took me a little getting used to when I started but after a few weeks I started consistently making profit off of the daily events.
I highly urge you to take this route. MWS is a cesspool of horrible players, you can't improve until you leave.
I guess it's bad news for all MODO players who own them - there Rancor is 4 tix ATM and with reprint as common in the horribly overdrafted m13 (no matter its quality, it will be horribly overdrafted due to core set packs being the most common prize packs), they will be lucky if UL version will bring them at least 0,5 tix. Well, not the biggest loss that we've ever witnessed (I mean, 3 weeks ago some people bought vexing devils at 12 and now they're 1,5), but unpleasant one nevertheless.
Standard implications are huge, though. Even modern, maybe - it's the bloody rancor, after all.
Anyone expecting standard mtgo rares to hold value at 12 isn't too bright. Snapcaster has been around 5 tix for a loong time and he has more playability than any other rare printed this year(barring land).
I have a bunch of complete sets on mtgo, and was wondering if there was a place to trade/sell them for either tix or real $. I know I can redeem them from wizards for the actual cards but selling those seems like a big hassle to me.

Last time guide was in standard a t1 goblin guide usually netted me an average of 6-8 damage on my opponent

Turn 0 misdirection beats your combo!
There's no ultimate win combo that can't be stopped.
B&m is a great suggestion thanks!
