Hey guys I finally get it built and I've got nobody to play with. Played two guys the other day and they quit because I had one and two drops in my deck? idk go figure. But seriously where are you guys playing it? I cant find anyone in the competitive room and rarely in the casual.
Just follow my list bro I won an event with it already. and I'm winning 8 mans on MTGO all the time. Your deck doesn't have the synergy or card quality to compete and your running bad four drops. PM me sometime. we'll chat.

Just so you all understand if you're going to run 18 creatures you're going to get hosed. Any one removal spell is going to end you when it lands, and remember you're going to be thoughtseized and lifebaned every other match several times a game. The reason I've been winning consistently (bronze on paper and over $600 in tickets on mtgo) is that I can switch from all in to swarm on a dime and im resistant to removal. also Ajani is a must have. You need a finisher against the midrange decks. trust me id probably have won another silver event had I made the adjustment on paper in time. And for testing sake Ive been beating all-in versions like the ones above for months with my version due to consistency.
Hey just think when they reprint wrath of god you'll have 6 maindecked sweepers to contend with plus two more out've the board for another five months. Wizards cant stop feeding you ppl. I'll give them that.
If youre having problems with aggro im this meta its you, not your cards. Aggro is all but extinct right now. If you look at the latest block results it will be for a long time. they say wrath is now in the 2015 core set. so you'll have verdict and wrath. guess what? game over. lol. Even r/w is a control deck if youre playing creatures against it.
Block is a very restricted format. In my standard deck i utilize quality early game creatures to maximize phalanx leader. In block its harder. Thats why you see brimaz over fabled hero, same concept. Quality over synergy sometimes. Also im sure the three color control decks outnumbered the aggro decks by a wide margin as they do on mtgo.
some of you guys are really thick. Born of the gods was a terrible set and did nothing. so stop lol. since feb. Metgame decks based on Top 8 frequency:
Monoblack Devotion (326)
Esper Control (143)
Azorius Control (127)
Orzhov Control (124)
Monoblue Devotion (115)
Jund Midrange (96)
Boros Burn (90)
UW Devotion (84)
Gruul Midrange (78)
And if you played on MTGO this is what you'd see ALL DAY LONG. MBD will be half your matches. Esper isn't even close. And yes the pros ALL play on mtgo. Why? you ask. Well because you can make a deck in five minutes and play 20 games against premier competition for money within an hr from all over the world. To summarize what im trying to say. ESPER is annoying because the cards are annoying and wooden. Nobody likes playing against it. its very beatable but its like mazes end in the fact that nobody is having a good time. I have literally seen ppl look across see mazes end and fill out the sheet to get to the next match because its not worth the aggravation. its almost the same concept with esper. So stop berating the guy. He's just bored out've his mind at his meta. He's not attacking your $700 deck my pit bull could pilot.;)

Thats pretty laughable i beat it consistantly. The guy that started the thread is complaining because its cookie cutter and very predictable which is annoying. Yes his list is probably way off tier. Ive played control competitively and won events. Im sweeping up events playing aggro now. But to say its the most prolific is just false, mono black is. Add up the top 8 finishes. Add azorious and esper together and its won half what mbd has. And tbh he probably struggles there too in a competitive environment.

Supreme verdict solves all their problems against traditional aggro. Thats why bestow and ajanis presence are awesome for me. Traditional aggro gets wooped. And if youre playing around cards youre thinkning. Theyre plopping whatever bomb matches theyre mana lol. Its much easier to match mana symbols and cast verdict than it is to play around it.
Look when you post something like this every 12 year old with his $700 deck that wizards built in RTR is going to come on here and cry. You play RW heroic, so if your maindeck is anything competitive this should be winnable. I win maxpoints and cash events all the time with mono white heroic. You know what they're going to do turn by turn its a mind numbingly simple deck to play (hence the big crowd). So use that to your advantage and be patient. Yes its annoying to play the hide and seek game with mutavault for 20 minutes to see if you win. We've all been there. Mazes end is indefinitely worse in my opinion. All decks that allows players that are uncomfortable in combat to skip it are annoying. Its always been that way if you're an agro player. nothings changed.
If youre losing to burn and esper control in the same meta you need to put whatever youre playing away for a long time.
