I will definitely get some lightning bolts... Sounds great
I have been getting my ass kicked lately I think the deck is lacking cheap creatures that can get out faster and deal dmg and defend. My friend plays aggro style and I can't keep up. So I'm working on remodeling all my decks
I am also looking into triple colored deck ideas and mono colored deck ideas. I want to make a w/b/g deck and a mono colored white angel deck or even a w/b angel demon deck.
Advice for helping with those decks and facing aggro r/b g/b and b/u decks would be cool too!!! Thanks
i do have some Fog Bank too i forgot about those... thanks for reminding me!!
i remember when i first started playing i didnt know the difference between combat damage and spell damage and i thought that card was just completely immune to everything i was so excited....
milling is fun, but for the golgari decks i play its kinda dumb to do its just basically giving them a looking pick of what they want to make their creatures stronger with...
and to cavalier i am going to get some of those cards thanks for pointing them out, as of right now i dont have any of those though....
ok cool thanks for the advice, Chandra, the Firebrand looks way better for my plan of the deck than jace. i think i may order like two of those.
and that is a good point about the creatures sometimes i find myself asking... do it have to many creatures? and yes the top decking creatures and lands has happened before... but usually i'm ok.
Preordain or Ponder look good to me. i'm going to look around and get some of those for my deck. 4/4 actually.
i do have multiple Telling Time . should i use those in my deck until i can get Ponder or Preordain ? and if so what do you think i should replace for them?
thanks for the help What and it sucks having to play on a budget but thats life.
ok here is my U/R deck... the east coast is getting bombed with bad weather i hope my electricity will last long enough for this post...
this deck does fairly well against the people i play, which as of right now are only rakdos and golgari decks... its really fun to play though so i dont care if i lose..
well thats my deck justcallmewhat hope you like it, please give me some feedback!!
i like all my blast to player/creature spells to knock people down fast and all my counter spells,, i never realized how awesome essence backlash is if you are fighting strong ceatures.. i like guttersnipe to do that extra damage, and gelectrode to possibly get untapped to do more damage each turn....
my goal is to quickly blast people down with spells and creature abilities, all in all though its a fun deck..
oh yeah... sideboard... heres a quick sideboard i just threw together...
i really really really love mark of eviction to just screw with people its awesome !! that inaction injunction and vacuumelt is kinda for control to maybe keep me alive a bit longer? i dont know i havent put too much time into my sideboard, or deck really either..
and i wish i had another nivmagus elemental those seem pretty cool..
Hi Im looking to improve my G/W selesnya deck and have about a $30 budget on it (for new cards). I plan to use this at my FNM but since its a new shop I dont know the popular archetypes. My list goes as:
I know there are alot of 1 ofs and 2 ofs but thats only because I dont have more of them. I want to know which cards I should make 3-4 ofs before I buy them.
The basic plan is to kill them as fast as I can(fastest I've beaten someone is 3 turns) and if that fails just populate and overrun them with creatures and kill them then.
The 4 giant growths is generally planned only for the first game as it allows me to be able to kill them by turn 3 or 4 which has happened quite alot when testing with friends who generally play G/B and R/B zombies.
The plan goes as:
T1: Dryad militant
T2: Swing for 2, cast Fencing Ace
T3: 2x Giant growth and 1x Rancor on fencing ace or just 3x Giant growth on fencing ace and swing for 18-20
So after that I plan to sideboard out the growths depending on their deck into something that makes the deck more resilient and I also want to know if Ajani works for this deck and what creatures I should cut and/or increase in the deck.
I've noticed very few people posting guild specific decks in the casual forum. I assume this is because RtR is standard, and so that's where those builds are going. But I want to build an effective Selesnya deck that uses old and new Ravnica, that combines populate and convoke. I came up with something, as you can see below. Do I think its workable yet? No. Do I think it might be with some help? Maybe.
I'm thinking of including Chorus of Might to break through my opponent's defenses with trample, Wild Beastmaster for its ability to pump swarms, Collective Blessing or Beast Masters Ascension for the same reason (though I wouldn't know where they fit), and Midnight Haunting for the sake of having flyers. I could use help finding places for things to fit and making this deck into the swarm deck I know it is capable of being. Thanks!
Awesome man, ive been looking for some casual selesnya decks, i will post mine and a response to yours later tonight when i get back from my meeting!
you may be able to take away something from mine, as i will for yours. i do fairly well against other people in casual with this deck
can you list your red/blue deck? I have a red/blue deck and play casually with a few friends and it has about 80% win rate, and I only spent like 15$ on it past the intro pack
is the deck. it's probably not that amazing overall but it's really fun to use. you can throw quicksilver dagger in there for some stupid fun card draw with gelectrode+curiosity.
another option would be removing some of the creatures such as kiln fiend and wee dragonauts if you notice them never landing damage and just replacing them with more spells maybe Incinerate for damage, CounterspellCrippling ChillBlustersquallVapor Snag type cards for control/tempo, or Dual Casting + more Gelectrodes if you enjoy the enchant side of the deck and your opponents don't have creature/enchantment removal as a theme in theirs.
when end game hits dominus of fealty is basically your catch-all. as long as your opponent has one crazy permanent out that is the reason you're in a bad spot or losing or whatever, dominus of fealty can solve your problem. steal the card and use it for your own advantage whether it's a creature or a dominating enchantment/artifact. The Hypersonic Dragon is a nice card I guess, 4/4 fliers usually never hurt, and the sorcery effect doesn't hurt either, but if you wanted to replace this with another card (2nd dominus of fealty?) that would be fine. I love the mercurial chemister, he's always a joy to have on my side of the board and usually is the main driving force behind the long game win.
it's a pretty fun deck once you get it rolling. card draw keeps the cheap spells coming and all your creatures either help your spells or get buffed when you play them. it can be altered a lot of different ways but i'm still interested to see what you're running as of now.
just got home from FNM and im exhausted, will post deck tomorrow!!
Narvuntien--- Thanks that did help!!
i absolutely SLAUGHTERED that [.deck] [./deck] format thing ahahah
i'll repost when i get back from my meeting, sorry guys!!
The question is what strategies do they employ? Rakdos seems aggro.
'
Yes that is the question and is there a post or site that is a glossary of sorts for all of these words like aggro and curve and and mid game and all of that? some of it is common sense but others i dont understand like control and all of that... so what styles are what decks and if there is some god thread forum post that it explains it all i can just read that :P... thanks for the help!!!
i am getting into FNM slowly but surely, but mainly i play casually with my one friend who runs a rakdos deck and a golgari deck and i like to play my U/R Izzet deck with lots of spells and he usually smashes me. the U/R deck isnt that great yet though.. the only deck that i can for sure beat him is my main W/G selesnya token raper deck that i put my most time into.
i am just looking for other types and color combinition decks that go good against those two OR just a description of what good decks go against what and what colors go well against what colors
i am still learning all the terms of MtG like control decks and all that, that is the other thing that still confuses me..
hey guys. i'm new to the forums and to the game, i've only been playing for about a month and my main deck is a Selesnyan token raper deck. i have been interested in Azorius for a while and seem to have some pretty good cards to go with it so i quickly threw together this deck and i love playing it because i think the detain mechanic is awesome but when i play my friends golgari and rakdos deck i get destroyed. i dont mind losing because i like playing the deck so much, but it would be nice to be able to whoop him everyonce in a while or atleast have an average win score with his decks.. so if anyone has any knowledge they can drop please do!
that's it and i am playing on a somewhat low budget but if i try enough i can look around and ask the few people i know for cards i need.
the ideal plan for the deck is to completely shut down the enemy and make them useless spell wise and creature wise while i beat on them.. i feel like i dont have enough physical power to do so though and thats why i cant defend or beat them down.. it seems to be like a little slow the way it is too for off the bat combat. it would be nice if all the detain effects were like that of Archon of the Triumvirate where you detain when you please not on entering the battleground but w.e i can deal with it....
WUWUWUANY SUGGESTIONS OR HELP IS VERY WELCOMED... THANKS!!!WUWUWU
Chorus of Might Captain's Call Crusader of Odric are all good for tokens as well! Chorus of might is insane if you have a ton of tokens out it makes a strone creature like wayfaring temple a lot more powerful and with the trample you can populate.
crusader of odric is like another wayfaring temple without populate and i have found it is good incase someone plays a spell that exiles all of your temples
captains call is awesome for fast and multiple tokens
Hello everyone! I am a month new to magic and this forum has helped me a lot already, so I am pumped to be a part of it!!!
RtR and 2013 core was my first magic sets and my main decks are Selesyna, Izzet, and Azorius. (Seleysna as my main) Looking forward to meeting and talking with you guys!
