But saying you don't get those cards you need to get a turn 1-2 Blood moon/Deus of Calamity, then what would you do? -

Aug 3, 2011pet snake posted a message on One Year to Magic: The Gathering Pro TourHey, as an off and on magic player myself, could I ask a favor of you? When you post your deck lists and other things, could you explain why you are doing them? I myself am sort of in a situation where I can't really afford to get singles and such, so most I get is through playing things like Pre-releases and such, which I don't get to go to often.Posted in: One Year to Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour
Since I'm not that much of a deck builder I would love to see why you add certain cards or remove them for another.
I'll be keeping my eye here. -

Been looking through and thinking about re-balancing red a little but I wanted an opinion; do you guys think there's too much burn currently? I'm thinking there might be and I'm thinking about cutting Mana Clash and maybe one other to make way for something else. Perhaps something like Awaken the Ancient or Curse of Stalked Prey. Both cards working well to help push aggro a little and Curse has a couple decent functions outside of red aggro as well.
Past that, white non-creatures will be getting looked at a bit, green's top-end needs to be redone a bit and other minor card changes here and there.
Welp, hopefully I finish the update soon. Spent nearly week on it so far and haven't been happy yet.
Or something like that. Never been too good with words but yeah, keep those s coming.
But yeah, I'm good for whatever title related.
Unrelated note: Does anyone have any experience with donating plasma? I'm thinking about it to help get some extra cash for this Christmas but I'm just a little weary since last time I had my blood taken I didn't have that great of a time.
But yeah, nothing really new here. Went to the prerelease and pulled UR planeswalker, gave it to my friend after as a birthday present. Pulled Nissa as well. It was fun, went 2-2 though.
Past that, I'm just working on getting my sister a car, I guess. Can't find a place to give us a loan though.
In other news, I'm going to write a comic. I'm thinking just a 4 part mini series type thing.
I know personally I haven't gotten nearly as much done as I want thanks to work. The shifts they've been giving me has left me so exhausted I haven't wanted to do anything else but work and sleep.
I don't run Burning Earth but I run Manabarbs, and it usually isn't as "too threatening" in my experience. Depending on who's at the table, it might not last long but its one of those cards that tend to only make you threatening while its on the table. One they kill it it's not really like "Lets get 'em!" its more "Oh thank god its gone".
I don't know about your playgroup, but everyone in mine has Sol Ring in their 99 so it's never too threatening. Its something that might get blown up within he first 2-3 turns, but nothing that immediately makes you a target. Your mileage may vary however I don't think it's something to cut because of threat levels.
Some other cards I could suggest would be Citadel of Pain to punish control players for wanting to leave up mana and Vicious Shadows because that card has won me some games out right. The important part of Shadows is that no matter who's creature dies, you get to target whatever player you want. So if you got a graveyard or token based player there, it can make for a good political tool to help kill off threats or keep them in check.
I'm looking to add in Shard Phoenix into my list as well, have you had any playtime with it? How does it run for you?
Thats all I really got, but it looks like it's coming together pretty nicely and I look forward to seeing a decklist soon!
Did I miss anyone's submission yet? Anyone else still working on theirs?
I played about three games last night. One Four-man Pod, One Five-man Pod and one game of EDH Archenemy.
The First game, I sat down with a Scion of the Ur-Dragon goodstuff deck, a Daxos of Meletis Voltron Control deck, a Liliana, Heretical Healer flavor deck mostly featuring a discard theme and then Kazuul himself. Game started off fine, everyone making decent plays and attempting to interact. The Scion player ended up winning after comboing out after being nearly killed by the Daxos player. Kazuul received third.
The Second game was the same but with a Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper added in. This game went on a little longer, however this was worse for us because I decided to be greedy and keep a bad hand (1 land, but both Mind Stone and Thought Vessel). I got punished for it hard and was unable to interact with anything or anybody. We had to Discard to hand size four times until I drew a land. No magic was played. The Scion player won after everyone tapped out and no one had any answers. Kazuul received fourth.
Third game was the Archenemy game were we added in a Daxos the Returned deck to the mix and suitably the Scion player was the archenemy(However, he did switch to a Sidisi, Brood Tyrant deck). We managed to lock him out of drawing cards all together and slowly whittled his creatures away forcing him to scoop after not being able to find a to scheme to save him.
So after this week, I'm looking at possibly replacing two cards. Words of War and Felhide Spiritbinder. Words of War, unfortunately rarely does anything for me. It's removal only if I realistically am drawing more than two cards a turn and by then I should be drawing into answers or something that should help. Spiritbinder will be finding the axe only for one reason alone. It's too slow, it takes nearly three turns to set up. One to play, One to attack and then finally one to pay and receive the benefit of the ability.
I'm probably looking to makes changes like so:
Cuts:
Felhide Spiritbinder
Words of War
Possible Adds:
Humble Defector
Seismic Assault
Shard Phoenix
Siege-Gang Commander
Inferno Titan
Ultimately, when I remove Words of War, I want to ensure I'm adding some form of removal, in this case probably with Inferno Titan or Seismic Assault.
