That is a mighty high horse you got there bro. You start off by telling Yio to not put words in your mouth, clearly didn't read what he said, and then put words in his mouth? That's professional level trolling. You say it's safe to cut cavern but...there's literally no reason to cut it. With how the current meta is looking, thoughtseize isn't looking like a primo SB option for us at the moment. I'd rather have moons/spheres/needles which makes my mana way better if I have less black cards to cast. Cavern is the reason why our Ux matchups are good...not to mention the hordes of UWx stoneforge decks that are out there. Maybe if you read what people were saying to you, you wouldn't come off as so insufferable.
Strike and shock hit face and are pretty often used to add burn if they aren't clearing the field. This deck doesn't set the pace like that. ~8 removal spells should be the target but you can't just keep building more and more removal
Looks like a neat vehicles deck, however, the lack of card draw and removal can be quite bad in the midgame. You have to drop creatures or threats every turn and if the opponent deals with them in the first 3-4 turns you may run out of cards by turn 5-6 and then you're topdecking threats which with 5 vehicles in the deck is not such a good idea, you may have a vehicle but nothing to crew it with.
It has seal away, cast out and abrade MB, how is it lacking removal? White give's it great sideboard options to deal with almost anything including gideon's reproach and forsake the worldly. RDW currently only gets card advantage from Chandra, if they even run it in the deck at all. the recent GP lists didn't even run Karn anymore. Looks like I would run 2 of the M19 Ajani in this deck too, and with the rotation in October we lose the vehicles anyways. Tons of ways to crew kiran, and most of the creatures crew the 4 vehicles. T2 Knight of grace, T3 Benalia and T4 Ajani sounds quite amazing.
On that, card draw would be nice outside of cycling the cast downs for example. But what do we really have? Mono Green stompy doesn't run card draw either, but does have the explore cards. Not sure what's available in R/W
Path of discovery seems kinda slow for my tastes. Still struggling to figure out maindeck removal package, and "win more" package. Honestly I think song of freyalise is better in the G/W build. I like driven to despair better here. Fungal plots is doing OK, but I haven't drawn it much in testing to be honest.
I'm sorry guys, I have betrayed the fungi overlords and jumped ship (at least for tonight)... I'm playing U/W Historic tonight at my Wednesday Night Magic...
I was going to play Izzet Wizards, but I got the last white cards in the mail... I have too many good cards and too little time to play
Though, I'm actually leaning towards using my Saproling deck again because I had a lot of fun playing it, it felt really powerful and could grind against pretty much any deck.
Also, rule question.
How do creatures survive Settle the wreckage when you use Heroic Intervention?? I thought Settle targeted the player and not the creatures.
So I know this is mainly the control thread, but I've not seen much discussion around here about Flash aside from in this thread so thought I'd bring it up here. I've been rocking flash and loving it. I tried a 1 of Weatherlight and have since moved it to a 2 of. Card seems really strong in the flash shell. Can flash it in during combat or EOT and it replaces itself if it connects just once. Unanswered it takes over the game in the same way azcanta does for me. Anyone tried this or have thoughts on it?
When I was watching people play the deck out on MTGO, I felt that the first build of the deck where it just ran Tefiri, Hero of Dominaria didn't quite have enough draw / filtering in it for all of the two and one of answer spells peppered in. I'm debating if the answer is to use the Weatherlight or to go with a third Tefiri.
I'm at 2 teferi, 1 karn. I like the weatherlight idea with Raff.
I played a few games today against teshar combo and superfriends....I think driven//despair is better than song of freyalise. Path of Discovery worked well even if slow. I might go back to running llanowar elves since it allows us to drop a turn 2 lord, while keeping up 1 mana for push, etc. Song just wasn't as amazing as I wanted it to be (wasting a turn 4 drop, having to tap out attackers etc). Heroic/blossoming might be good enough to run mainboard.
I was just thinking red for some burn and lightning helix etc. I saw some new knights that looked cool, and wanted to refresh the Boros days if possible. Keep the advice coming, thanks for everything so far!
I haven't played this game in a while - I haven't played TCG/CCGs in a while in general, but I would love to play casually. I don't need the most broken/expensive cards. I do love to play fun/theme decks and one of my favorites back in the day was Boros. Could anyone help me build a fun, not too expensive R/W Knight deck? It can use any cards in the game, if there are somehow expensive cards, include them as an option as well, because I might eventually pick them up. Thanks in advance.
WHAT UP?! I haven't played mtg forever guys. This game is still coming along nicely! I will hopefully start showing up at some FNMs. Looking to build an elfball deck but need to get some cards first. If anyone has the cards for it, I wouldnt mind buying them for cheap/decent price. I was also thinking about converting elf ball into legacy but I might just keep it in T2. Gotta go to a party, catch up with you guys later!

You are correct. They don't survive

Really curious to hear RW results... Would love to play it if it can take games
