Dies to Removal

Valdarith

It's obviously not as good, but still powerful.

Valdarith

Is this the red Snapcaster Mage MaRo has been asking for?

Valdarith

Works with Flickerwisp too. Wouldn't hurt to try, but likely ineffective in a Terminate meta. Round 2, FIGHT.

Valdarith

I would take that trade.

Valdarith

I actually think there's merit to a creature-heavy build if you're committing to Atarka's Command. Might as well go the extra mile and play Nacatl, no?

That said, cutting Eidolon seems very wrong.

Valdarith

You have to pay extra each time.

Valdarith

Flavor text on Pyromancer's Goggles has me wondering if we will be seeing Jaya Ballard again in the near future.

Valdarith

No I managed to dodge the mirror all day but I definitely know of JW. Pretty well know dude around here. I'm sure we've played each other a few times around town.

Awesome. We go back. Waaaaaaay back. Known him since I was 12 and first got into Magic.

Valdarith

Cool. That's a big PPTQ. I believe my friend was also on Burn. Did you play a mirror in round 2 against a guy named JW?

Valdarith

Did this happen to be the Atlanta PPTQ? A friend of mine was there and I know that one was in the 80s.

Valdarith

I may need to see a doctor. Playing this deck has given me an erection lasting longer than 5 hours.

Valdarith

Cut the Mangara, Stonecloaker, and a Bell-Ringer for three Thalia.

Valdarith

The deck wants Thalia.

Valdarith

Valdarith

Three currently, but considering going for all four.

Valdarith

This deck is so sweet.

Valdarith

Forked Bolt is AMAZING in this deck! I didn't even think about the synergy with donating Humble Defector and then killing it and one of their x/1s!

Valdarith

Glad you enjoyed the deck. Credit me when you 4-0 with it.

How was it not playing with a one drop? How has Stoke been? I think Stoke is pretty cool with Bell-ringer but I wonder if we should be playing some number of Forked Bolt in the maindeck for more early interaction.

Valdarith

Hell, he might just be dead. Anafenza is a boss.

Valdarith

Of course you need to Path his Spellskite first.

Valdarith

Get to 8 mana, Wisp his Linvala, cast Kiki, win?

Valdarith

FWIW I prefer Ross's build (what's new?).

Valdarith

I don't agree with Cruise over Dig but everything else seems okay. 3 Command is a bit greedy though.

Valdarith

I've been doing eBay. I'm a bit fearful of PucaTrade due to inflation concerns and I know very little about Deckbox beyond there being less fees for sales than eBay.

Valdarith

With Lightning Bolt everywhere? No way. Would rather play Brimaz.

Valdarith

Has anyone ever sold cards on Deckbox or PucaTrade?

Valdarith

Maybe you're running too many Pyroclasm effects. 6 maindeck seems like a lot.

Valdarith

It's a lot like a hate bear deck where you have to pick and choose what you want to beat. Grixis or combo a big deck? Play Thalia, Relic of Progenitus, and Ghost Quarter. People playing midrange? Overload them with value creatures. Aggro a problem? Play ALL THE FINKS AND HELIX!!!

Valdarith

I will say I'm kind of low on Splicer since Kolaghan's Command is everywhere. I actually think my list wants some number of Finks.

Valdarith

I like the Stoke synergy with Bell-ringer and Splicer. Have you tried Chained to the Rocks? It seems good against Affinity, Grixis, CoCo Elves, and other decks without many ways to deal with it. I've found that my deck desperately wants cheap interaction, but that could be Worth toying with me since...

Valdarith

Starting to think I want Thalia in the maindeck actually.

Valdarith

How could anything be more obnoxious?

When you see it...

Valdarith

Just bumping the thread to let Ham know I've been brewing a hilarious brew similar to the deck in the OP except even more obnoxious. It's jank city and right up your alley.

Valdarith

MTGO prices for goblin staples have spiked. Auntie's Hovel was 0.2 and is now 0.8 tix. Same with Goblin Chieftain and Legion Loyalist. Even Goblin Guide is joining in on the fun.

Valdarith

They would NEVER reprint Lackey.

Valdarith

What about Sharpshooter?

A man can dream, right?

Valdarith

Probably needs one or two more good cards, but it's very close.

Valdarith

This set is officially awesome.

Valdarith

i guess the reprint of enemy painlands means we won't see enemy fetchlands in return to zendikar ......

That doesn't necessarily mean that, but I've always thought people were assuming way too much in regards to enemy fetches in the first place. I've been thinking manlands the whole time.
