Hi everyone!! Full disclosure - this is my first time posting and I’m doing so on an iPhone (my laptop just pooped on me) so if I don’t tag properly or if there is a better way to tell you the following information in a more efficient and effective manner just let me know so I can do so in the future. Pre-emptive Thank You’s to all who help out!!! Everyone that has helped me out already has been a true, kind Magic player so I assume you’re the same. Again, thank you so much for your patience.
So 10 of each red and white mana total, plus the Retreats and a Inspiring Vantage. So that’s 25 mana cards total.
What I’m basically doing is attempting to speed up the Rush by cutting all the black (which I feel slows down the deck’s full capabilities, even though there are some bomb black cards in there) and utilize the vehicles as much as I can as I’m assuming this deck is meant for. What has hurt me in the past is being unable to really put down the hammer with a beefy creature, or combination of attacking creatures, especially if my opponent has hexes and cards like Hazoret the Fervent or Goblin Chainwhirler that can easily destroy my low mana cost, low-medium power creatures and just whipe me out.
Tonight at FNM I got a guy down to 5 hp and I still had my full 20 but he was able to deflect long enough so he could pull out his high mana cost cards. We ended in a tie and granted any one wrong decision can cost the game but this is where I’m at. I’ll stop digressing. Lmk what y’all think my move might be here. A skilled player and generally nice dude ,considering I’ve only met him a few times, helped me with this build and claims this is the best I can do without dropping some serious cash. That’s my word. I trust him, but hey, might as well ask, right?
P.S I’ll see about finding a computer so I can post my whole deck in, but in the meantime I guess you’ll just have to peep the deck list and go off of the information posted. My sincere apologies.
