Dies to Removal

After trying Master last night against monoB, RW devotion and Jund, any deck with desecration demon will make Master of the Feast look pretty bad. Giving them cards to find removal is going to be a gamble no matter what we play against, but when we can't even attack them it's just embarrassing. Mast...

I'm a big fan of Marauder and Spiteful Returned as well, so this is what I'm planning to run: [deck] Creatures: 26 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Tormented Hero 4 Gnarled Scarhide 3 Pain Seer 2 Spiteful Returned 3 Mogis's Marauder 4 Herald of Torment 2 Master of the Feast Spells: 11 4 Thoughtseize 3 Hero's Down...

Herald of Torment is the main reason to play this deck in my opinion and I can't see cutting it. Even against creature decks, Marauder's and Herald's abilities keep the one drops relevant and help Pain Seer get through. I think Master of the Feast vs. Lifebane zombie is a tougher choice. They both h...

15th place list looks very familiar :smileup: : http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=64833 I like Chandra in the 75 just on principle.

I love Mortars in the deck, and I even overloaded one against a R/G deck to wipe out 2 Caryatids, a Stormbreath, and a Courser. With that said, I've never felt that I ever needed more than 2 in a game. One is usually enough to take out whatever big threat you need to in order to buy you 1 or 2 more...

I think 4 mortars in the 75 might be the way to go. I like MM better than firedancer, spark trooper, and even chained to the rocks in some cases. Mortars can combo efficiently with searing blood or shock to kill demon and polukranos, and I feel safer killing an early problem creature like courser, b...

Agreed, Toddington. I played MDU's angry phoenix build for a while which really is a burn deck, so I'm not saying this with zero testing to back it up. SBD's effectiveness is dependent on the meta, but it does fit the theme of evasive haste creature. I read Z's article and fully understand why SBD w...

I'll also stop lurking to say hello and thanks to everyone for this helpful discussion and to Z for the CFB content. I'm a fairly casual player and new to MTGO, but I am most likely taking burn to GP Cincinatti next week. I've been unintentionally testing 3 vaults/3 gates for the last month or so si...
