Dies to Removal

Wrathberry2

again no mono red or boros deck in the top 16 of the scg open.

are we sure that we are that well positioned? im affraid we are currently only tier 2, and other decks are just way stronger.

Wrathberry2

do you really want to dont drop your 2-drop on turn 2 so you can use shrine out of bte on turn 3? im not sure if this is the best play you could do there especialy because you most likely overextend hard then in controlmatchups. no idea.. but i just dont like bte as a card because it kinda forces me...

Wrathberry2

@jadephoenix:
i really like your deck, but are you sure that bte is better than chandras phoenix, especialy since you cant cast anything out of it besides magma jet?

Wrathberry2

how is purphoros your best card vs monoblack who play at least 8 removals in main und even more after sideboarding? he can never get a creature in those matchups. i found him only awesome vs g/w lists who dont play any real removal^^

Wrathberry2

really disagree with this deck even if i love purphoros because he is so manly xD

Wrathberry2

siding out dragon vs mono-black control i kinda agree. but i really disagree to board him out vs any deck playing doomblade. i would never board him out vs esper for example.

Wrathberry2

The grammar in my post was atrocious and is probably making Windstrider toss and turn in his sleep. Turns out I did need frostburn weird in the main. That extra point of devotion matters and having 4 toughness matters in a lot of matchups since most of my kills are coming from comboing off after se...

Wrathberry2

Right now I can tell you the top three decks are Mono R, Mono U and Mono B. Nothing else is remotely competitive against the field as these three. Mono U > Mono R > Mono B > Mono U Mono U was the most popular archetype at the GP, so Mono R suffered. If Mono B was the most popular, Mono R would have...

Wrathberry2

So Not a single red aggro deck in the last gp louisville top 16. What do you guys think? Are we not positioned good currently or was it just coincidence?

Wrathberry2

i agree with khaos here. i played many games with the red/white variant on cockatrice now, and i really think that i often get color screwed, or get slowed down 1 turn by tapped lands and so on.... im really not liking how it works out currently and i think i will switch back to mono red too. and wa...

Wrathberry2

i would love to still have zealous conscripts

I went 5-1 with the deck tonight :) This is what I ran [deck] Land 12 Mountain 1 Plains 4 Sacred Foundry 4 Temple Of Triumph 4 Mutavault Creatures 4 Firedrinker 4 Cackler 4 Zealot 4 Phoenix 4 Dragon Thighs 3 Chandra, BCIS Spells 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 2 Chained To The Rocks 2 Boros Charm S/...

Wrathberry2

The dragon is petty much good all the time, where Mogis is good some of the time. Also, at States, I never once "lived the dream" and curved out. All of my games were long and I liked it. I want more things that are strong enough to be useful during anytime of the game, under any boardsta...

Wrathberry2

the problem i had often with mogis, that sometimes it can be gamebreaking and just awesome.. but then there are times when it just shoots 1 damage and is a vanilla 4/2 for 4... i really didnt like that. i want my 4-drops to ALWAYS matter. thats why i personaly went away from the fanatic strategy, an...

Wrathberry2

[deck] Creatures: 4 Ash Zealot 4 Frostburn Weird 4 Chandra's Phoenix 3 Boros Reckoner 3 Ember Swallower 2 Purphoros, God of the Forge 4 Stormbreath Dragon Spells: 3 Lighting Strike 3 Magma Jet PLaneswalkers: 3 Chandra, Pyromaster Enchantments: 2 Hammer of Purphoros Land 25: 21 Mountain 3 Mutavault 1...

Wrathberry2

what do you guys think about this master of waves deck? do you think it will be the same as craterhoof.dec and will just die by getting hated out?

Wrathberry2

what exactly is the big difference to devotion red?

Wrathberry2

Does anyone get the mono r deck list in the top 8 of pro tour? Why btw without a single card besides magmajet he can cast of it? No phoenixes.. I can't say I like that list

Wrathberry2

its like I said firedrinker satyer is the new vexing devil, the only difference instead of being bad and every one thinks its good, he is good and every one thinks its bad. more threads will be derailed by satyer then any other card this season edit: just realized that was 3 pages ago....this threa...

Wrathberry2

Why are we even talking about credit in the first place? I had a decklist very similar to what we are all bitching about before I started talking about it on mtgs (which led me here after clicking the link Z's sig). It's not like it was an inobvious deck from the get go. Run good shit with lots of ...

Wrathberry2

does anyone think, that you could put annihilating fires into your board, if you expect many voices?
they really can be annoying, especialy if they draw more than 1.
do you think that annihilating fire is worth playing vs them?

Wrathberry2

I've been turn 1 thoughtseized and they took Chandra, not Rakdos Cackler. What the actual fuck. thats because people just know that thoughtseize is good, and so they play it. but without having any idea how this card works, and that its for especialy EARLY disruption. how do you care that he takes ...

Wrathberry2

i actualy dont think you ever want to have more than 2 hammers in your deck, even vs control. cause they rarely get destroyed, and multiples do you nothing.

also you should play another 1-drop or rakdos shred-freak intead of forstburn weird in my oppinion.

Wrathberry2

DOA? sorry i actualy dont know what that means^^

Wrathberry2

what do you mean with very red? suicide-tibalt.dec? :DD

Wrathberry2

@helios: i totaly forgot about traitorous instinct, ill think about that and give it a try i guess. thanks for the hint!. @wipe out: if you see my deck, its kinda goes in the direction of a big red build. its still more a RDW, because it plays 8 1-drops, but if you just cut the 1-drops and fill it w...

Wrathberry2

the article will follow i guess? or do i somehow miss a link or something?^^

Wrathberry2

im actualy playing this list i nearly copied from redthirst, just changed the sideboard a little bit, so it fits me more. im very happy about the deck currently. the last 3 days i lost soo many games vs midrange, it was ridiculous. with my old devotion and ultra fast builds. but since i changed it t...

Wrathberry2

i kinda like him, just because i loved blistering firecat in the onslaught block back in the days. but still i think he is not good enough probably.

Wrathberry2

didnt we all play reckoners in our dos rakis lists last season? just add some b/w shocks and you are fine again to play reckoners. but i still dont see any real advantage to play rakdos currently besides shred freak. i wish we still would have my beloved koi -.-. i really wish i would have him now ...

Wrathberry2

At what point with that deck does your opponent have the time to tap out for Jace and not instantly lose?

at the point after he wrathed you, while you had no boros charm on your hand or mana open?

Wrathberry2

You lose Reckoner if you go Rakdos, and right now I think Reckoner is just an amazing sideboard card. thats not true to be honest. didnt we all play reckoners in our dos rakis lists last season? just add some b/w shocks and you are fine again to play reckoners. but i still dont see any real advanta...

Wrathberry2

i played many games vs DEGA Midrange the last few days and never had a chance to do anything... same with most other decks who play much spot removal early on to drop fatties later.

Wrathberry2

i really had the feeling that devotion gets worse the more decks with many removals you meet. its still good vs control, cause its still fast enough. but its absolutly horrible vs black/red midrange decks... you eat removals the early turns, so you cant build any devotion and then you meet a fatty y...

Wrathberry2

im really having problems vs g/w decks... especialy damn smiters and charms.. i mortar their smiter... np charm it. or they use the damn ajani to give it +1+1 so its 5/5... im really not seeing any land.. i have to instantly kill anything they play or they kill me.. aka fleecemane lion, kalonian hyd...

Wrathberry2

has anyone any idea about the price of stormbreath dragon?

i kinda want to play him currently, but im not sure if he is worth 20€....
do you guys think too, that he will drop soon?
or do you think he will remain at around 20€+?

Wrathberry2

just won a 8-man tournament on cockatrice with 3:0 with this deck: [deck] 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Ash Zealot 4 Firefist Striker 4 Chandra's Phoenix 3 Stormbreath Dragon 4 Lightning Strike 4 Magma Jet 3 Chandra, Pyromaster 20 Mountain 4 Mutavault Sideboard: 4 Boros Reckoner 1 Purphoros...

Wrathberry2

you can play both. i play 3 reckoners main and 2 mutavaults. works just fine.

Wrathberry2

yeah, that was autocorrect, wrote that yesterday evening while laying in bed already^^.

ill work on the decklist a little more today, still didnt lose a single bo3 with this deck

Wrathberry2

im running this list currently, but its more an big red than a rdw i think: works pretty well, im 10:0 currently on cockatrice. [cards]4 Ash zealot 4 Chandra's Phoenix 2 Boros Reckoner 2 Hammer of Purphoros 3 Fanatic of Mogis 2 Purphoros, God of the Forge 3 Stormbreath Dragon 2 Dragon Mantle (not s...
