Hey all, a bit new to the site but I've been playing Mardu Pyro for about 3 months. Some thought on deck + about comments on last page :
1- I like the 5 cards split on Terminate/Dreadbore/Fatal Push . This is constantly changing for me (meta dependent). Since Tron and Jace are a bit popular at my local shop, I'm on a 2xterminate, 2xdreadbore, 1push (but 2 side).
2- I prefer having 2 Blood Moon main vs 1. It just gives you wins vs a lot of deck, even times when Blood Moon isn't suppose to be good (vs Burn, Affinity).
I never tried Manamorphose and I see some people who are playing 4 . This deck is hard to trim, feel that all card have a good purpose. At the same time, it looks like you are almost always happy to have Manamorphose in your hand or on a topdeck. Looking foward for some playtesting with the card + reading reports on this site!
Here is a super quick report of my last Modern tournament (3-1). I have a pretty stock list, will post it later.
Match 1 (vs Burn) 1-2
Game 1 : I manage pretty much all creature he plays, I'm at 3 for 2 turns, he never top deck the burn spell, I win.
Game 2 : Goblin Guide again on T1, hits me 2 times, and he get there with burn spells.
Game 3 : Top deck war again, I needed to dodge a burn spells on top deck mode for 2 turns, oops, GG
Thought - I would like 4 Collective Brutality in the 75(only play 3). The card is just sick for this match-up and is needed. Guess this match up is about 40-60 but Brutality is the hope
Match 2 (vs new Burn Player (with the real deck anyway)) 2-0
Game 1 : Opponent is mana screw for 2 turns, gives me enough times (and thanks brutality!)
Game 2 : Decided to keep 1 blood moon in the deck. I play it, Opponent is stuck with boros charm+helix in hands when needed a last burn spell.
Match 3 (vs GW Company Todd Stevens list)
Game 1 : 3 Voices is too much value, can't comeback.
Game 2 : I decided to keep 1 Blood Moon to stop the late game value he can get. I destroy the manadork, play BMoon on Turn 3, he never game white mana. Pyromancer+spells get me the win. He said he was surprise to see Blood Moon and didn't fetch anticipating it.
Game 3 : I 1 for 1 everything and a well timed Kolaghan's Command on a dork+EExplosives gives me the game (he was a bit mana screw.
Match 4 (vs Esper Control w/ 4 Jaces) 2-0
Game 1 : He taps out to play Jaces. He +2 to look at my top of library. ''WOW'' he says, Dreadbore ! Oops, the other one is in my hands ! I also land 1 turn later Blood Moon, and kill him with Tokens
Game 2 : Blood Moon gives him trouble again, he also land flood. GG. I guess i'ts risky to play 3 colors with Field of Ruins !
Thought - More than happy to play 2 dreadbore since our deck can't put lot of pressure on Jace.
