I agree entirely. The reason that I'm on the gameplan of playing tempo first is that sometimes when playing as the control deck against a deck with such high impact threats as RG a patch of flooding out can cost you the game. If you were on the tempo plan in that game then you might have already won...

The Fated Conflagration basically functions as a fifth Dreadbore with a higher mana cost and some slight upside. It kills basically every relevant threat outside of Master of Waves and Desecration Demon, which it can sometime kill when combined with a chandra ping or the first strike from an ash ze...

Satyr is a great card against RG monsters if you're on the tempo plan. Your life total is a resource, one which isn't being particularly pressured in that matchup. Using your satyrs to trade up for larger, more expensive creatures is very important in the resource war. They also attack through Sylva...

I've found from personal experience that 4x mutavault is too many in a 23 land deck. Keep in mind that post board I'm bringing in up to 6 black spells which need the additional black sources. That said as far as luck goes I tend not to run particularly well and would not condemn anyone else for runn...

Hey guys. I post here occasionally but it's been awhile, just made top 4 of a PTQ playing PyroBlack. There were 190 people so it was 8 rounds plus top 8. I've written a more in depth tournament report here http://www.htnorth.com/wordpress/?p=4394 for the store I work at. Here's my list though PyroBl...

Mogis Marauder seems like it would have a lot of synergy in any Pain Seer based aggressive deck.

I went 5-0 at FNM tonight at amazing discoveries here in tuscon. Pyroblack has been very good to me so far, dreadbore is amazing along with having doom blade/ultimate price. I was a little worried about only having 19 creatures so I cut a shock and added a misers pack rat. I didn't draw it in any ga...

I work at my LGS so I don't often get a chance to play magic anymore but right now I'm on vacation in Tuscon AZ. I went 4-1 at FNM tonight playing PyroBlack at Amazing Discoveries (Dusty Ochoa's store) losing only to Junk Midrange. [deck] 19 Creatures 4x Rakdos Cackler 4x Young Pyromancer 4x Ash Zea...

I think the deal with skullcrack is that it's a card people think is good but in reality isn't worth the card. I don't mean to say that people are stupid or anything though. The card certainly looks powerful.

Here's my current list I went 6-3 at the Toronto WMCQ coming in 34th place, and then 17th at the PTQ the day after with a record of 6-2. I'm really happy with it right now and I don't think there's anything I want to change. [DECK] 31 Creatures 3x Stonewright 4x Stromkirk Noble 4x Rakdos Cackler 4x ...

Khaos, what does your current list look like? I'm prepping a similar deck for WMCQ/PTQs this weekend.

What about Boros Reckoner? I've come to the conclusion that it's significantly worse than Pyreheart Wolf in this style of red deck. I could be wrong though.

Sup guys. I guess we've migrated here. Gotta say I kinda like how the entire premise of this site is "fuck MTGS" :P
