Hey, I'm going to be trying out a new deck at FNM this week, and I'm not sure wha I should sideboard for this. The deck is red with a splash of green. Credit goes to Shinbatsu for the original deck list. I used one from his $5 budget thread and then modified it a little bit from there. This is what I have so far.
-inferno titan on 19 land
-goblin grenade with only 7 goblins
-thunderous wrath but no faithless looting to bin it
-not maxing out on grim lavamancer in a burn deck
-hellrider in a deck with very few if any dedicated guys that turn sideways
-maindeck thunderbolt...
-dual casting...?!?!
-devil's play on only 19 land
Sorry, this needs a tremendous amount of work. I would look at the Standard Burn Deck threat in standard deck construction. Tibalt is fine, but everything around him in this deck is unworkable.
Ok I get most of your points, but what's wrong with main decking thunderbolts? And is Dual Casting not good? Paying 1 R and tapping the enchanted creature to copy an Instant/Sorcery seems pretty good in a burn deck...?
I'm looking to build a burn deck for FNM, and I'm also looking to use Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded in it for card draw & some burn damage as well. I know a lot of people can't stand Tibalt and say he isn't good, but I love the card and want to keep it as part of the deck, so any feedback is fine as long as it's not "Get rid of Tibalt."
I'd really like to mak this deck look and function as good as possible before I start putting money into it, so I'd really like to know all of your thoughts on it.
This is what I have planned for the deck as of now. Once I can afford to get more expensive cards, I'm planning on removing 1 Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded and both Devil's Play and then adding 3 Bonfire of the Damned, but those are a little out of my price range now haha...
Hey everyone, I'm working on a zombie deck for a friend to use at FNM, and this is what I have so far. It's mostly black, but has just a splash of blue to use Grimgrin, Corpse-Born and Diregraf Captain. Let me know what you all think of it and any & all suggestions are welcome!
Which of the 4 Planechase 2012 decks are you all looking forward to the most and why? Personally, I'm torn between the Primordial Hunger deck and the Chaos Reigns deck. My friend is really looking forward to the Night of the Ninja deck because he's a huge fan of anything with ninjas in it hahaha.
I like the primordial hunger deck because I like the idea that I can get massive creatures on to the field out of nowhere (at the cost of some tokens or small creatures), but the chaos reigns deck's cascade-central build is also really appealing to me.
So yeah, what are all of your thoughts on the new decks? The lists are located here in case you haven't seen them yet:
Yeah that really helps me out. Thanks a lot guys. Sorry for posting in the wrong section...
And one last question. For Sealed, we dont get the 6 packs for free right? There's like an entrance cost or something that I'd pay or pay for the 6 packs, right?
Ok, first of all sorry if this is in the wrong section. Anyway, I haven't been to a launch party for MTG before, so I just wanted to know like what kind of things I can expect for this one. Can you go in and just buy some new Dark Ascension packs, or do you have to participate in the games for those? And how do Sealed Draft and Booster Draft work exactly? Do you only use cards you get out of those packs you get there to make the deck? Because in my mind it seems like it'd be hard to construct a deck with the right lands and such with only a few boosters...
Sorry for my really terrible questions, but I'd like to get these clarified before I go to the DKA event here in town.
This is the deck I've been using for casual play with friends, but it has too many cards (75 total) and I'd like to get it a lot closer to 60. The deck itself does ok I think, but just let me know what you all think of it and what cards I should take out and any overall advice for it. Please don't be too harsh with this, as it's meant to be a casual play deck. Thanks for advice!
Hey, sorry if this is a dumb question, but I recently got around to getting into EDH/Commander, and I bought the Heavenly Inferno and Mirror Mastery Commander Decks this week. I'm really liking this the of MTG game so far, and was just wondering what advice more experienced people in EDH had to say as far as advice for how to expand on EDH and what kind of things I should watch out for?
Also, for the people who have these 3 EDH decks, what are your opinions on them, and what kind of things can I change about them to improve them even more?
Ok so I played this card game with my brother when I was younger, but I'm just now getting into it again thanks to a few friends. I'm just curious about a few things.
1) How easy (or hard) is it for someone new/inexperienced to MTG like me to get into the game? It seems like it's a daunting task due to how many veteran players there are and how many cards and expansions there are.
2) What are good events for me to go to? I'd like to play with other people besides the same 2-3 friends all the time, but I don't like really strict tournaments where I can only use cards from certain recent expansions.
Hey how's it going? I'm Saoshyant 4329 and I'm fairly new to MTG here (Played it with my brother when we were little and just got back into in recently), and I'm looking forward to chatting and making friends on here and, of course, learning more about MTG
I already have a Red/Blue and a Black/White/Green deck that I use most of the time, but just for the heck of it I bought the Ajani vs Nicol Bolas duel decks today, and after looking through them and figuring out how they work, I was curious as to if there's a way to take cards from both of them and combine them into one deck that takes advantage of both of their strengths. I would do this myself, but seeing as both decks are built around their respective Planeswalker and are both 3-color decks, I thought I should talk to some people who've been playing the game for awhile... I just got into it not too long ago after playing it with some friends.
