MTG Salvation

Updated Deck

I like the idea, however Preordain is no longer in standard, so you could possibly either drop in a couple Delver of secrets, or Civilized Scholars into that slot to give you more draw capability.

I can see lantern taking interloper's place. This is turning close to mono blue lol. And i agree with kicking Diregraf, i already kicked him in place of Delver, and now i can see dropping Tormented for hex parasite, and i can keep myself mono blue at that point, truly dropping the price point on this deck... the pike i like because this deck is heavy on instants/sorceries, plus the first strike will work on anything, and can turn Stalker into a decent blocker!

okay new deck list here

Phantasmal Bear has worked for me in a similar deck.

as nice as the bear is, It doesnt work with what i want to do, mainly because it doesn't get by anything on its own, and i can't give it flight or something because it will poof instantly, same with the equips.

+1 for name and concept alone.

-- Some tips.

• To make the most out of your beaters. Make sure they have evasion, and / or are hard to kill.
• I'd stick to 60 cards main, myself. Try to play only instants for your non-equip spells.

I'll build the deck myself and test it for awhile. Expect to hear more from me if the idea catches on.

I've already tested it myself through proxies, and it runs pretty well. i agree with keeping only the equips as sorcery speed, but Curiosity is too helpful to pass up, makes my stalker turn into a cantrip every turn, and i really need the draw to keep the tempo up. Is there any good U or B that reduces the equip or casting cost of artifacts? i can't think of one off the top of my head. also, the true name for this deck isn't TOS compatible lol. I'm also thinking of Blue Black Shenanigans, because it really is full of it. I made the guy who was testing his wolf run deck cry when i hit him for 48 unblockable with trepanation blade, and inquisitor flail on the stalker. (milled him 12 cards, doubled twice because of 2 flails. it was fun )

True, and i feel Delver might work better than diregraf for the deck. I was thinking of increasing the inquisitor flail and trepanation blade to 3x or 4x, and i might actually make this a 70 card deck, much to the dismay of everyone in my local meta. (they swear that a deck cannot contain more than 75, 60 + SB)

this is my working deck that revolves around very small, cheap mana wise cards that are meant to get around defenses and continually ping my opponent, and with Trepanation blade, hit harder than normal.



Average cost: 77. I know Snapcaster Mage would be great in this deck, but i just can't afford it right now, but I would drop 2 divinations and i'm not sure what else for 4 of them.

Since they are two separate creatures, you can have the angel attack the planeswalker, Traft attack the player, vice versa, or have both attack either the PW or the Player. You just have to declare it before the declare blockers step.

This is my current budget build of Red burn/aggro and currently is built with everything i own atm.



I'm thinking of switching out the kessig wolves for Stormblood Berserkers and need help for the other side board slots. I'm thinking maybe some big hitter and a couple Infernal Plunges, but since i'm so low on creatures as it is, saccing them might not be good, no matter how big the creature i summon is.

True, and she would work better in my 4/5 cmc slot than Bloodlord i think. one because she only costs 1 of each specific mana, then two of whatever, so if i get color screwed onto 1 black and tons of mountains, i can still cast her out. So say trade 2 of her for 2 bloodlords?

Also i need ideas for more cards in the sideboard.

This is my deck so far for B/R Vamps. Need ideas for the other 3 sideboard slots. Dismember/GFT are for going up against black decks.

So then with this ability, if I were to use elspeth tirel's ultimate, I could conceivably wipe the board of everything but my 6/6 tokens and then keep pumping out more with her -2 ability?

I personally feel inquisitor is main deck worthy, as he has first strike and vigilance. Pretty good bear imo. Also if you are willing to shell out for the w/g duals you can splash green for elder of laurels and avacynian priest who gives W

I've been scrounging the forums and the rest of the interwebs for this answer, and i've seen both sides.

If Torpor Orb is in play, and i were to cast something like Army of the Damned would the zombies still come into play tapped? or would they be untapped?

This is my updated deck list for it, to see how it works. I'll be adding in the swords when i get paid again, they are out of my budget for the week lol. but here it is



I haven't figured out what to sideboard for this deck, but this is the possible sideboard i have going right now
