4 Gisela but not even 1 Bruna, the Fading Light??
Brisela, Voice of Nightmares is pretty overwhelming, gotta be worth running at least 1 on the off chance right?

Key to the City maybe? Needs unblockable or trample otherwise the combo dies badly to a 1/1 deathtoucher...

Sarcasm? I mean, its got a solid win condition (Thopter Sword) it has control, removal, tempo. It might not be the absolute best deck ever, but its definitely at least a solid deck.

Problem with only 1 possible win condition is if anyone brought artifact hate you are out of the game. Eg Oxidize, Smelt, Divine Offering, Ceromonious Rejection etc.

Proper Burial seems like an odd choice in this deck as almost all of your creatures have 0 or 1 power (excepting a couple of 4/4's). Have you considered running Sun Droplet instead? If you have 2 or 3 on the field you can gain more life than the damage you take.

Hi, just out of curiosity how well does this work for you? I run vehicles but I have usually found that I need around 2 creatures for every vehicle to ensure that they can be piloted. You seem to be running 14 vehicles to 18 creatures though.

What about Implement of Ferocity instead of Implement of Improvement? It has the same mana cost but removes the need for white mana sources since it activates off green mana. Also, have you considered running Woodland Wanderer? Since you have so many different colors of mana it could drop as a 6/6.

Have you considered running the Crackdown Construct? It's another infinite combo with Wandering Fumarole (activating Fumarole's 0 mana ability infinite times). As well as being a possible instant win on an empty field it will force the opponent to waste removal / counter spells on it while you build towards the big cat combo.

If you are thinking of the links down the bottom of the page to "Buy this Deck" they take you to other webpages. I don't know for certain with the online one but I have used TCGPlayer.com and found it to be safe and reliable so I assume that the online one is much the same.

General Magic / Re: How to stop a "Waste Not" based deck

« il: Dicembre 14, 2016, 08:26:33 am »

Seems the only real way he gets threats on the board is through Waste Not. One option is to play straight out artifact enchantment removal - most people keep at least a few basic cards for this in sideboards and whatnot
  White
Spell - Erase
Creature - Felidar Cub / Kor Sanctifiers
  Green
Spell - Back to Nature, Natural State
Creature - Reclamation Sage
  Blue
Spell - Annul, Confiscate (might be really useful since he discards things as well), Aura Flux (really old card though)
Creature - ??
  Black
Spell - ??
Creature - Brain Maggot
  Red
Basically can't destroy enchantments by itself
  Colorless
Nevinyrral's Disk, Ratchet Bomb, Oblivion Stone (a bit slow but its a complete board wipe when it goes off)

Blue/Blue-White Control Decks seem to have some luck. An early Negate or two can put the brakes on an aggressive burn deck. Spell Queller puts down a spell and gives you a creature.

Failing that you can try and flat out-race them. Red-White Vehicles running Selfless Spirit can often out pace burn decks with the indestructible trigger protecting the crew creatures against removal.

Black-Green Delirium with Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and Emrakul, the Promised End can sometimes hold out with lifegain on Kalitas until Emrakul can control the enemy turn and shut down some of the burn.

P.S. Try watching Pierre Dagen's matches in the Kaladesh Pro Tour (they are on YouTube) for some hints about what he struggled with.

Seeing a slight problem with number of cards here....
You have 8 cards at the start (assuming you play 2nd) - Mountain, Spirit Guide and Monastery Swiftspear, 1st Pyretic Ritual means you are down to 4 cards.
Expedite replaces itself, still at 4. 2nd Pyretic Ritual, down to 3.
Expedite replaces again, still at 3. 3rd Pyretic Ritual down to 2.
Assualt Strobe - down to 1.
2 x Brute force puts you down to -1 cards doesn't it?

Have you considered Manamorphose though? It quite literally replaces itself (2 mana to get 2 mana, draw a card).
Also Gitaxian Probe can be paid with life instead of mana and replaces itself in your hand, counting as a cast trigger for Swiftspear and helping you draw the pieces you need. (Even though its blue, you don't actually need blue mana to cast it)

Sweet, best of luck at FNM and hope you have fun.

Just one final card suggestion, something I saw working well at FNM last week. Thalia's Lancers, for 5 mana its a solid creature, but it lets you find a legendary in your deck and put it into your hand. This lets you find Avacyn, Gisela or Bruna, great for getting that combo together. Thalia's Lancer is also surprisingly cheap given how powerful that effect can prove to be.

Oops, sorry I misread Gruesome Slaughter, you can only use it to remove enemy creatures *not* enemy players, my mistake. Still a useful way to clear a bit of the enemies board.

Solid build although I would consider replacing the Nissa's Renewal with more Fumigate - it seems unlikely that you will need more land in a hurry by the time you have 6. Fumigate seems more useful than 7 life when you are out of fog and facing down an army.
Also, have you considered Gruesome Slaughter? Since the creatures created off Metallurgic Summons are colourless, Gruesome Slaughter allows you to tap them to deal direct damage to your opponent (plus it gives you a 6/6 summon which is neat).
