Alright thanks Aoi for post-results. I will still use the previously Volton B/W deck, because I never had the chance to test it out yet. I still want to try Agent of the Fates x 4 and if I can't get much out of it, i'll be tempted to switch.
I have found favored hoplite and nighthowler to be a little underwhelming. They are mostly sided out so maybe try replacing one of them?
I'm not sure. I have had success with Nighthowler mid-end game as well as using it's bestow cost since it'll stay on the field if my opponent manages to destroy the creature it's enchanting. But at times, I do agree that nighthowler can be a dead drop. Usually sideboard it when dealing with control decks.
Not sure about Favored Hoplite. If it were replaced, it'd have to be a one mana replacement since we already have 19 3-mana drops lol. He's a good pick beginning game. If I use him on opening hand, i'll try to ensure that it stays on the field by protecting with orzhov charm/gods willing.
I think the maybe issue is planeswalker, no way to deal with that, would have to rely on creatures. As well as Blood Baron. though you have only Agent of the Fates to rely on, but Thoughtseize as well if you use it at the right time. Celestial Flare can be a good choice of a sidedeck probably just to deal with him possibly. I was running two ratchet bombs, but may run 3 instead with the Green/red devotion decks running rampant. Two mana bomb is best used.
That's the heroic B/W i'm running as well antiping, but no thoughtseize just duress for the time being. I'm not sure about including Murder Investigation & Dying Wish for the B/W deck. Have to play test it, wouldn't know what to get rid of though.
Inspiration did some great work, and I really like its inclusion, but I still think we need a better card here...hopefully we get one in Born!
As for Anger, yeah I didn't realize the wording was a bit different than I thought. I guess you CAN regenerate from it, good to know!
From page 41, Razorblaze is this still your latest? I was inspired and said so on page 43 of this topic, and posted my FNM results(3-1). Only diffrence is I'm maining 2x Hammer of P & 1 additional Turn//Burn. The only issue I have is Green devotion with splash of red. Too many creature counts on by turn 3. Have to rely on Anger of the Gods to have a winning chance, or there is no hope. As for Hammer of P, it does well for mid-end game. Mizzium skin is undecided for now, but I may sidedeck 4. I went against a black devotion splash white that utilizes 15+ removal cards, which requires for me to constantly try to counter. This meta in my gameplace is lots of user are using black devotion splash white or green.
Let me know how that goes, and if you've trimmed any of the 3-Drops.
Facing too much removal in my local meta. Among other factors, a couple people that I've droped in T3-T4 before seem to account for me now, and I haven't had a good run with my W/r the last couple of weeks.
Nope, didn't do well this time :P. There was only 6 people(holidays I guess), so only had 3 matches. I still used Duress and one godless shrine.
1st Round: Me vs Simic(1-2). I think what hurt me was again, lacked to use sideboard. I was unfamiliar with the creatures he used, and he told me after the matches, that I should have added ratchet bomb, since majority of his creatures are two mana, and can't protect himself from ratchet bomb. He swarmed me a bit match #3. The one I won was Agent of the Fates as it took out his boon satyr & flash monsters. Agent is deadly.
2nd Round - Me vs Black splashed white(0-2) Another tough match. His deck has about 15+ removals and I just felt overwhelmed. What really killed me, was having three agent of the fates in my hand, with 2 plains and 1 swamp on the field. I side deck Sin Collector, Boon of Erebos, didn't see Sin Collector in my hand in the next matches, but managed to use boon of erebos when he least expected. Still lost, because he had that Baron out, and the only way this deck can actually even manage to kill it is Agent of the Fates, no other cards in the deck has an answer to him unless I had thoughtseize before hand(which I don't).
3rd Round - Me vs Green splash red devotion:(1-2). Another tough match. He just overwhelmed me turned 3, using burn-tree/Sylvan & elvish mystic and from there manage to summon high cost monsters. Match 2, I sided in Ratchet bomb and that bomb'd his 2 mana creatures, and won that match when I pumped favored Hoplite with Ethereal Armors. Match 3: No ratchet bomb draw, I mulligan because only had 1 land in hand. I again was overwhelmed with creatures.
So 0-3. I did manage to trade in a Sphinx Revelation for 3x Godless Shrine, which will help immensely. I just need temple of silence & thoughtseize and to utilize my sidedeck better. I am disappointed by this outcome, but I had fun in the end, and a good preperation for next week FNM's.
Now maybe I do believe nineteen 3-drops is a bit too much ;P. Not sure what I would cut though. I'm going to stick with it for now, but if I see some card that would help, i'll tinker it a bit.
I'm going to try Orzhov Heroes again in friday tournament, though in the afternoon, since I have other commitments night time. Should have at least 4 matches. Was going to try W/U Heroics, but I still need to tinker it some more. Hopefully some of you post your results on your decks.
Looks solid, not sure what I would add/remove. Give us your experience when you do manage to play with this deck.
Instant Rare
~ deals 5 damage to target creature or planewalker. If it is your turn, scry 2."
What are your thoughts people?
