MTG Salvation

I've created a video and a 2 man queue game of Goblin Electromancer Storm deck that I've been working on. I still don't have all the numbers correct but the deck feels very powerful if not very raw.

It reminds me of my first versions of TPPS way back when.

Had to take it for a spin! Looks like it's quite capable of that even with a semi-loose pilot.

I'm not used to playing with "reduce cost" creatures so may have been playing it wrong. It just feels a bit like there's maybe a tiny bit too few rituals.

Edit: What I actually meant was I feel the deck lacks ways of producing blue mana. Maybe Saprazzan Skerry would be a consideration for the mana base?

Yeah you pretty much have to use your Manamorphose as a Blue Ritual that costs Red.

Here's an updated list:



It may also be right to just run 4 Grapeshots.

I know with the release of Goblin Electromancer everyone was hot to create a new deck with him.

I played around with some different shells and feel this is the best one so far. Granted it's not extensive testing (15 games) but it feels very powerful.

I have fizzled once where I had 17 cards left in my library but I hadn't seen a Grapeshot and hit a pocket of land.

Goblin Electromancer/Nightscape Familiar TPPS


I had tried to create an old version of Familiar Storm with Ravnica Bounce lands Cloud of Faeries/Snap with Goblin Electromancers and Nightscape Familiars. It did ok but the mana wasn't great and it fizzled a great deal.

So far with this new configuration I've been able to draw the entire deck a couple of times so that's always fun.

I'd normally keep it under wraps and get some Daily's in but I'm swamped at work and life in general so I'd like to see someone else tune it up a bit more and see what it can do.

Lookacard this means you.

Episode 6 is up sorry I have gotten a new video up in a while. I had been sick and life was just busy.

I take a look at WG version and focus more on an agro version with the Rebel search engine secondary.

So the pre-release is in 3hrs and 49 mins?

The Orc last night told me they start at 12:00 AM PST time.

So for me in CST time it's in 6 hours 30 minutes.

Very nice article and I made the list!

When I first saw him I thought what everyone else seems to be thinking and that he'd be amazing in a reworked Familiar Storm deck.

The problem is some of the card draw in Familiar Storm deck are creatures. Also one of the acceleration pieces is also a creature. (Cloud of Faeries)

The other big draw back I think for it is that's RU. Which means that everyone's Hydro/Pyro Blasts in the sideboard are now live vs you.

I think it will provide a fringe deck at first until some takes the time to build a new deck around it or it might just get squeezed into a current TPPS/URS (UR Storm) deck and then tuned from there.

Episode 5 is up.

I review the last deck list from my previous post. I also make some small adjustments to the sideboard which I think are better.

I get a game in vs UR Post and get to a game state where I get to use 4 Rebel searchers in 1 turn.

<3 drawing 4 extra cards a turn.

Please leave any comments or thoughts on the deck or any suggestions on what you guys would like to see or hear.

Thanks again for those that are watching!

Episode 4 is up. It's broken up into 2 parts on accident.

I decide to focus on WB and create a sudo-sideboard.

This is the deck that I'll be testing in the next video or what I believe it should be now. Note this is not the deck list in the video.

I hope it's real, this kicks Pauper TPPS in the nuts.

Episode #3 is up. I take a look at a WR Rebel Post deck and also talk about why I might not do a WG version just yet.

I get a couple of test games in vs UR Storm, Burn and Infect.

Okay, not sure if this gets covered later in the video, but I'm 5 minutes in and you're reading Zealot il-vec wrong and it's bothering me. It's replacement ability is a May ability. You can have it just swing for 3 with a Bonesplitter.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. I meant that he'd be better if he could do his power in damage to a creature instead of just one point of damage.

In other words I'd feel better about running more Bonesplitters and Zealot il-vec if I could use them more as removal than just a ping or 1 point of damage.

Corrected episode #2 is up with audio this time. Confirmed!

I'm sorry I have to take video 2 down as there is no audio. I apologize for that and I'll get a new video up later tonight.

Sorry again.

Episode #2 is up. I take a look at a WB build for Rebel Post and get some test games in the tournament practice room.
