Deck Reviews / [Standard] Mono-White Token/Counter/Devotion
« on: May 02, 2015, 07:10:26 am »
My first ever mono-white. Shout-out and thanks to a wonderful person who doesn't have an account on here for donating some of these and a few other cards to my collection. You're the real MVP.

https://deckstats.net/decks/27538/240825-mono-white-token-counter-devot?saved=1&lng=en

Win through a swarm of tokens with counters or normal creatures with counters or any mixture of the two. Haven't play-tested yet. Play damage control through Hold at Bay, Acolyte's Reward, Banishing Light, and Deicide. Hold at Bay and Acolyte's Reward will activate Heroic abilities. Also have Launch the Fleet, Dauntless Onslaught, and Gift of Immortality for activating Heroic and keeping aggro capabilities up. Most creatures give two devotion, so devotion for Acolyte's Reward and Evangel of Heliod isn't hard to build. Godsend thrown in there because why the hell not.

My favourite combinations are Launch the Fleet or Gift of Immortality with Evangel of Heliod. Casting Launch The Fleet on your turn after you cast Evangel of Heliod will maximize the effect, essentially doubling the amount of tokens you have. Gift of Immortality will cause it to return to the battlefield, activating it's effect, thereby making your opponent afraid to so much as attack or go anywhere near that EoH, and giving you an alright blocker.

« on: April 26, 2015, 05:02:19 am »
Hello all. I'm making my second Standard deck, this time a Mardu. Warrior focus (real original, I know) but I'm not sure what cards exactly I should use from the list I've made.

4 Crackling Doom- definite keep
1 Godsend ?
1 Purphoros, God of The Forge ? (works well with token generator spells/abilities)
4 Harsh Sustenance ?
4 Mardu Charm- definite keep
4 Rush of Battle- definite keep
4 Take Up Arms ?
1 Alesha, Who Smiles at Death ?
2 Archetype of Aggression- definite keep
1 Athreos, God of Passage ?

Deck Reviews / [Standard] My First Standard: Jeskai - Would LOVE Critique!
« on: April 08, 2015, 05:01:22 am »
https://deckstats.net/decks/27538/226418-jeskai-v2/en

This is my first Standard deck, or at least my first deck purposely made for Standard, that I intend to take to FNM and develop further over time. Right now it's a Jeskai, or at least uses those three colours. I might like to change it to only two colours at some point, but I really like this three-colour mix. The main strategy is to buff creatures every turn using instants, playing a little bit of control with the blue and white cards in the sideboard, as well as the burns available in the deck. An enchantment deck might be better than an instant, but this is also my first draft. Thanks for looking, and again, please leave your opinion, advice, or critique!

General Magic / Dragons of Tarkir and what colours are overpowered in it
« on: April 01, 2015, 05:39:53 am »
It seems pretty balanced to me, but I like having more zombie cards in this block. Aside from the zombies in Silumgar, I can see myself playing Kolaghan, or more likely, Atarka splash another colour, maybe keep the other colour in the sideboard. I wasn't able to make it to the prerelease; would anyone mind sharing their opinions about what colour combinations worked well?

General Magic / So I got my first KTK and FRF boosters,
« on: February 03, 2015, 04:01:25 pm »
just yesterday. I bought two Khans and 3 Fate Reforged. Really not sure what to think; I have the start of what looks like a good Jeskai build, maybe Temur or Abzan. but I'm really not sure what to do here. I got a better draw from my Fate Reforged boosters than I did from my Khans of Tarkir, in my opinion.
This is my first time making a deck specifically for Standard. I have a couple different decks made from almost entirely Nyx and Theros cards, so I can take from them if necessary. U/R bounce/burn, B/R minotaurs, B/W life-gain, U/W unblockable, W/R aggro, and a G/W devotion. Will write up decklists if anyone is interested in helping me or offering advice.

ANYTHING NOT MARKED WITH A NUMBER IS COUNTED AS x1.
FRF
//green//
Frontier Siege
Winds of Qal Sisma
Ainok Guide
Frontier Mastodon x2
Whisperer of the Wilds x2
Temur Runemark
Abzan Beastmaster
//white//
Abzan Advantage
Abzan Skycaptain
Soulfire Grand Master
Pressure Point
Elite Scaleguard
Aven Skirmisher
Wandering Champion
Sandblast
//black//
Alesha's Vanguard x2
Archfiend of Depravity
Hooded Assassin
Sultai Runemark
Sultai Emissary
Grave Strength
//blue//
Lotus Path Djinn x2
Mindscour Dragon
Refocus
Renowned Weaponsmith
Write into Being
Jeskai Runemark
Jeskai Sage
//red//
Collateral Damage x2
Defiant Ogre x3
Bloodfire Enforcers
Break Through The Line
//lands&multi-colour//
Grim Contest
Harsh Sustenance
Ethereal Ambush
Tranquil Cove
Wind-Scarred Crag
Jungle Hollow


Thanks again guys; happy playing!

Deck Reviews / Big Black Devotion [CASUAL]
« on: December 28, 2014, 11:22:43 pm »
https://deckstats.net/decks/27538/172783-mono-blk-devotion/en

Focuses on cards that are boosted by the amount of Swamps you control, as well as by your devotion. Secondary focus on life-stealing or force-sac'ing the opponent's creatures. Mana costs are a bit on the high side and that could be changed, but having a couple of Nykthos helps with that. I'd like to find something to replace Batterskull with; any suggestions anybody? I was thinking about Sheoldred, but I'm not sure.

EDIT: Replaced Batterskull with Insatiable Harpy. Replaced Abhorrent Overlord with Sheoldred, Whispering One.

Deck Reviews / G/R Beasts- Advice anybody?
« on: December 25, 2014, 05:24:55 am »
https://deckstats.net/decks/27538/169257-g-r-beasts Here's a link.

Here's the decklist, and what I have already as opposed to what I don't.
Lands (23)
2   Contested Cliffs 0/2   
10   Forest 10/10
2   Llanowar Reborn 2/2
7   Mountain   7/7
2   Skarrg, the Rage Pits 1/2
Spells (10)
2   Crusher Zendikon 0/2   
1   Domri Rade 0/1
2   Predator's Rapport 0/2   
2   Thrive 1/2 owned
1   Xenagos, the Reveler 0/1   
2   Æther Charge   0/2
Creatures (37)
4   Advocate of the Beast - 4/4 owned
4   Crowned Ceratok - 1/ 4 owned
4   Fangren Pathcutter   0/4 owned
4   Furnace Scamp   0/4 owned
2   Garruk's Companion    0/2 owned
4   Ghor-Clan Rampager 0/4 owned
2   Gruul Ragebeast   0/2 owned
1   Heroes' Bane   1/1 owned
4   Krosan Warchief 0/4 owned
2   Marauding Maulhorn    0/2 owned
2   Rampaging Baloths   0/2 owned
2   Ravenous Baloth   0/2 owned
2   Satyr Grovedancer 2/2 owned

Not sure if I want that 70 card count, but what's here fits fairly well.
Maybe some lower mana costs would be nice but I can't decide what to replace with what. I thought about replacing the Maulhorns for 2 more Garruk's Companions, or the Grovedancers for something else.
Not made for tourneys of any kind.
Mainly focusing on +1/+1 counters and giving trample so the synergy of the deck is mostly figured out, but I could use some advice before I buy what I need to complete it. Right now I'm paying about $35, and I could go $5 higher. Thanks everyone (:
