Just looking at it and testing hand draws I can tell it's way too heavy, but not sure what cards to include for early game.
Thanks in advanced for any help.
When he becomes a creature, does he become succeptable to cards like Banishing Stroke? This line of txt is confusing me:
Gideon, Champion of Justice’s second ability causes him to become a creature with the creature types Human and Soldier. He remains a planeswalker with the planeswalker type Gideon. (He also retains any other card types or subtypes he may have had.) Each subtype is correlated to the proper card type: Gideon is just a planeswalker type (not a creature type), and Human and Soldier are just creature types (not planeswalker types).
Been a casual Magic player for about a year and looking to maybe step it up a bit. Been reading topics here for awhile but never registered. Seems like a friendly and helpful place and I have a good feeling it'll help me out big time.:thumbsup:
Ok thinking this will be the final workings until I try it out tomorrow lol. My pal is going to be nice enough to trade me 3 Sacred Foundries for some of my rare lands. I tried to go with everyone's advice and get rid of certain cards, bump others, and try to make the ratio better between drops.
Hope it goes well, thanks for everyone's help. Wouldn't say no to further advice though
Ok, so I kind of feel that 3 Frontline Medics might be a bit too much, same goes with the Spark Troopers. Should I add in more Boros Charms, and should I ditch Planar cleansing?
Ummm depends on what you want to do, Aggro (a bunch of little guys, highest cost should be 4 or 5) or Midrange.
For Aggro, you want to be consistent with your little guys and sparse with the big guys.
4 Reckoners (or 3) is a must for most matchups because he is just ANNOYING to deal with in most cases.
You have a single Boros Elite, and while she's not the most amazing 1-drop, she handles the job if you don't want to commit to hard into the deck. I'd put her to four.
Legion Loyalist is a pretty cool 1-drop who enables battalion, he's good at 2-4.
Well to be honest it seems you're going midrange Boros.
Tajic is cool, quite honestly you should max your mana cost at 6, which is Aurelia. You seem to have quite a hefty amount of higher drops in the deck. In midrange I think the meat of the deck should be 3-drops (considering you don't have ramp in Boros colours).
So you need something early game to allow you to survive, a few one-drops maybe, or some resilient 2-drops such as Ash Zealot (who has a pretty hard mana cost for Boros sometimes). Eventually get to 3 mana and toss down Reckoners who will generally stabilize you.
When you get to four, Tajic will really help you blocking.
When you get to five, uhhh you could just throw down another 3 drop or 4 drop.
Six, slam Aurelia down on the table and destroy them.
Well really you should ditch the Battleshaper, a seven-drop should do something the moment it hits the field (it's good in Limited though).
Of course condense your deck to multiples of cards rather than singles
Glad you decided to choose the most awesome guild of all time!
Yeah I was feeling I had too many heavy drops, They'll be the easiest to replace. Thanks for the tips!
Well, your deck is 59 cards, so bumping it up to 60 makes it legal for any constructed tournament that isn't block.
Now, my follow up question is how competitive do you want to get? That determines how I go about helping you out.
Furthermore, what kind of deck do you want to play? There are several different archetypes that help guide deck construction, and knowing which archetype you want to build can help provide structure to your deck.
If you don't know that I'm talking about, that's O.K. feel free to ask questions.
I'd atleast like to go to FNM or game day and not come in dead last lol. Midrange R/W aggro sounds good to me.
I'm pretty new to Magic, only been playing about a year. My friend who got me into it plays at a higher level though and usually takes the win. Just wondering if you guys had any suggestions for making this deck more competitive. These cards are mostly things I've gotten from boosters.
And after typing it out, it seems like I have WAY too many singles.
Hey I'm p new to Magic only been playing a year. I only have red/ white and blue/ white standard decks, and my buddy uses a blue/ green that has multiple aetherlings, and when they come out he wins. What can I do within my colors to stop him?
Also sorry for not knowing much but I don't understand how pithing needle stops him, aren't all his abilities mana abilities?
