Dies to Removal

Well I went to SCG today, did well first round even made the feature match. I fucked it up and he had every answer, dunno if it was nerves that just really made it bad or what. Then I faced Esper, every, damn, round after. If I see one more Blood Baron or Obzedat I will puke. So I apologize for look...

Hmm, now this has me wondering when I take out 2 plains do I make it 2 Mountains or try and find a Mutavault and run 2x Vault.

In my head it sounds like it could delay my zealot or reckoner to a turn later but could also be handy as a critter in a pinch. Curious now...

I have contemplated 'Vaults but just haven't taken the time to get them. But thanks to this conversation I remembered one of the changes I wanted to make to my deck before this weekend. Definitely dropping the 4 plains to 2-1.

Ok, needing just a small bit of outside looking at my SB choices I have for tomorrow/this weekend @Open. (Deck is posted above) The 2x Celestial Flare I have I am in contemplation to take out. I haven't really sided them in for a while, but now with a possibility of Esper popping back up(more than i...

Top 8ing SCGO and GPs with hundreds of players sounds bad to you? LOL! Not at all, just trying to say that devotion is a way different style than we started with and tends toward a different line of play than the normal "Big" style that can go multiple angles. That and I just feel weird h...

I just think all this trying to get cutesy with devotion isn't for this style of the deck. Taking away the Phoenix, cutting burn, none of it seems to really fit well with what the style of "BIG ----" is supposed to be. On it's own the devotion style can be good, and the Big style can be go...

Member Swallower's monstrosity isn't irrelevant; Nykthosing into an early one can end any match-up. Yeah but we're not looking at devotion in this type of Red. Like above we're more of a Sledgehammer that just keeps slamming on you until it's done. Big and heavy and that's what Swallower does in ou...

I really like that spell load out, and this list would allow you to abuse devotion / Nykthos a little more. I also wonder about Ember Swallower. It looks good to me as well, fills a wide area of needs we have. As for swallower I'll comment after this next quote. Yarpus just name-dropped Firemane Av...

Not sure why my comment is inside the deck "box" even though it isn't inside the tags, oh well. It meets the "big" for sure lol. But it works quite well in most matches. Only trouble matchups I have had were a GW aggro that we have played EVERY freaking week and we usually altern...

I have stuck with Big Boros from day 1 of rotation and think it's in a good spot for the moment again. I have been in the top 4 each week of FNM, took 1st once each week and with minor tweaks it has only gotten better. What does your decklist look like? Any deviations from what's posted here that y...

I have stuck with Big Boros from day 1 of rotation and think it's in a good spot for the moment again. I have been in the top 4 each week of FNM, took 1st once each week and with minor tweaks it has only gotten better. I plan on taking it to the SCG here in DFW this weekend, but need an opinion for ...

Wow! If that's the actual price where you are snag the Dragon. Just for the cost savings vs what his price is because looking on TCG he's sitting still $25+. Chandra though, trade your butt off and get you a couple for sure when you can. She is a great asset to the deck and a lot of people still wri...

I think keeping them in for Game 1 of a match to see what you're facing isn't a bad idea. The scry 2 is great, there are still a few good targets for them as well. I went 3-1 in regular last FNM and then 1-1 in Top 8 losing in the Top 4. Magma Jet was a great card in most of the match ups but was qu...

As for BTE in Dev decks I have seen more people want it just because it's a "free" spell to pump devotion. Ah, see, it's only free if you do cast something you would have cast anyway with the RG mana. Like Lightning Strike or Magma Jet. Can't cast Zealot off it, can't cast Frostburn Wierd...

Well I think the Boros we all are heading towards is a "Big" variety, just we each are finding our own ways of getting there.

I did LOL at the name pasting comment.

Wasn't sure if those questions were thread-worthy there J_S :D On the Magma Jet thing, I'm not sure we can always take the pro lists as evidence of must-haves (really should have said should-haves). Example: In the Devotion Red lists, on here it seems to have been accepted that running BTE and Ash ...

Welcome aboard. Here are my thoughts on your list: Fanatic of Mogis: See Primer Ember Swallower: Seems underwhelming, as it will be a vanilla 4/5 most of the time. Burn Package: Seems kind of unfocused Legion's Initiative: Not sure why you need this Hammer: Non-bo with Dragons Elspeth: Forces you t...

Master of Waves "He doesn't die but his tokens do: Anger of the Gods, Electrickery, Mizzium Mortars (overload)" Doesn't he die as well to these spells as they don't target him so it render's his protection null?

Saw you post the link to this over on MtGS and LOVE the work you have put into it here. Some good points of view I hadn't thought of before. My current list I have been slightly tweaking since release but overall not much has changed. [DECK] Creatures: 3 Boros Reckoner 4 Chandra's Phoenix 3 Stormbre...
