The chances of having 2 Caryatid in the top 10 cards is about 1/8. That's not very good. Even if you're running 12 mana dorks (i.e. green devotion rather than monsters), the odds of getting three of them in your top 10 is still less than 1/3. And the real odds are lower than that, since that doesn't consider the odds of not getting the lands you need alongside the creatures.

It just not a reliable strategy, and you're better off with cards that will similarly win you the game if you get that much mana, while also not being complete blanks if you draw them earlier. I'd much rather spend 7 mana to Monstrous a Stormbreath Dragon or Polukranos, rather than playing a Hornet Queen.

I plan on mainboarding 4 bile blight at SCG Dallas next weekend in anticipation of mono U and the mirror. Wrecking nightveil specter and early pack rats seems like a good idea. Sign in blood goes to the board, maybe, for control match-ups. Drown in sorrow in the board for mono green and aggro.

Mono green kills mono black so hard right now, it's nuts.

Against MonoB I expect that the minute Polukranos or Stormbreath hits the board for it to be removed. At least with Queen you will be left with a few deathtouch flyers.

I wonder how often the "BB: Shock to the face" aspect is going to come up. I suspect that at least the threat of it is going to get people to put the brakes on Underworld Connections a little earlier than they otherwise might.

Your average mono-B deck has maybe 8 answers to your big fatties. And 4 of those they really want to use on Domri instead. Just jam must-answer threats until they run out of removal and then you win.

Ultimately I think you're putting far too much emphasis on the relatively few situations in which Hornet Queen is better than its contemporaries, and not paying enough thought to the times where it's worse. (Especially if you were ever considering cutting your 4-mana 5/5 brick wall against creature decks in favour of something that takes 7 mana to get anywhere.)

If I thought I had the cards for MonoG I'd probably run it, but I have a feeling I am still missing a few key components. Get me a list and I can see if I am sitting on the cards to run it.

Edit: I just Googled what I assume is a competitive deck...I don't have any Garruk or Shrine to Nyx. So I guess either way I'd be spending money...

Hey there goons, I don't post here often.

Long story short, I planned on competing locally (FNMs, Grand Prixs) in Standard with a Constellation deck. Then Back to Nature happened. So now I'm scrambling for an alternative that I can really latch on to. So far I'm thinking Garruk/Planeswalker Jund, or maybe more cheaply, Mono-Red Burn with Scuttling Doom Engine. Here's a brew I have so far:

quote:

Mono-Red “Scuttling Burn Engine”

Mid-range burn/control deck with combo finisher

Creatures
4x Scuttling Doom Engine
4x Stormbreath Dragon
4x Generator Servant
4x Satyr Firedancer

Burn
2x Spark Jolt (scry 1)
4x Lightning Strike
4x Magma Jet (scry 2)
2x Searing Blood
2x Shrapnel Blast
4x Stoke the Flames

Is this card even good?
4x Chandra, Pyromancer

Land
4x Darksteel Citadel
16x Mountain

Tell me what's bad about this.

EDIT: Obviously this is for after the rotation. I'll put in anything good from Khans of Tarkir.

I really don't think Back to Nature is going to be a death knell for Constellation decks. All Green decks are running Courser. You draw enough cards off of Blossoms that you aren't too worried about card disadvantage. No one is going to main deck it. And you can play around it if you're running against another non-constellation green decks. All it really means is you have to be careful about making GBS threads a million cards onto the field.

Or maybe switch to G/B/W for indestructibility effects.

So after obtaining garruks and just realizing how amazing it is, I made this list which will be for gameday-

BG Devotion-

4 Courser of Kruphix
4 Voyaging Satyr
4 Elvish Mystic
4 Burning Tree Emissary
2 Genesis Hydra
4 Polukranos, World Eater
1 Hornet Queen
1 Hornet Nest
1 Nylea, God of the Hunt

4 Abrupt Decay
3 Chord of Calling

1 Garruk, Apex Predator
3 Nissa, Worldwaker

4 Temple of Malady
4 Llanowar Wastes
4 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
4 Overgrown Tomb
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
7 Forest

Sideboard-

3 Putrefy
4 Golgari Charm
1 Reclamation Sage
1 Phytotitan
1 Garruk, Apex Predator
1 Phyrexian Revoker

I chose 1 garruk in the main and 1 in the side because I thought he would be better in match ups with superfriends and having 2 in hand at once can be quite difficult. Phytotitan is for the mono black match up, Golgari Charm are very useful in a variety of situations, but they are mainly for control match ups, same for revoker. Putrefy is in there because I am quite scared of the possibility of the fast new artifact decks that will be popping up. I have also seriously contemplated the possibility of a more midrange list with deathrite shamans, evolving wilds and reaper of the wilds instead of the more devotion route. I think deathrite shaman is a very versatile card and is definitely worth considering now that wilds has been printed in standard.

Thoughts on this RW Norin Soul Sisters deck? I'm still trying to find a good deck to play that can do well, but doesn't necessarily have to be "tier 1". I like the concept of the sisters deck, and anyway to splash red is good by me. Any cards I need to take out or add that I dont have?

I would say you're a little in between the pyromancer deck and red deck wins. I agree with going MonoR and all aggro as you're playing some bad value here like the electromancers and ornithopter. I think you're better off with Legion Loyalist and Firedrinker Satyr. You definitely don't want Chandra in there either since you should be happier playing 2 2drops in 1 turn than a Chandra.

Searing Blood is godlike with Satyr Firedancer big omission, and if you're going to splash one color, splash white for Warchanter's Helix, with Shock Troops, Wear/Tear, and Chained to the Rocks in the side. If you want an Izzet deck, you can try Spellheart Chimera counter burn or the new artifact synergies from M15, but both are probably weaker than straight burn to the face.

That list only had 1 double red in Ash Zealot because Stoke the Flames has convoke. It could totally get away with 1-2 mutavaults.

Anyone wanna help me fiddle with my U/W aggro deck? Take a look here: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/mystic-knights-uw-aura-aggro/

A few things I've been mulling over and want some help on:
- I think I'm going to swap out Nomad Mythmaker with Hindering Light because Mythmaker, while good in theory, just moves too slowly and can/will be removed almost instantly anyway. One HL basically accomplishes at instant speed and 2cc what takes Mythmaker two turns and 3cc+W, plus it has card draw. Besides, the flavor and art on Hindering Light is what inspired me to make this deck in the first place!
- Similarly, considering dropping the Lieges. While the buff is super nice and all, that's kind of what the enchants are for in the first place, and dropping four mana on something that can be Lightning Bolted right away feels pretty terrible. Considering replacing it with Judge's Familiar, since I don't have any one-drops and could really use some, let alone tossing more stuff in the air.
- Debating whether or not to swap Aqueous Form with Curiosity; the extra unblockable is really nice when I'm up against flying, and Scry is also really great, but I'm debating whether or not I should just skip scrying and go straight to card draw, since pretty much everything is going to end up evasive somehow.

Other than that, some general numbers tweaks (everything except for Dax and Augury are at 3-of which feels weird to me), suggestions that aren't on the maybeboard, and other observations are super welcome. I'm playing this casually and want to stay in Modern just for consistency of card frames as well as not having to search for even more stuff when deckbuilding, and I'd be willing to drop a few more bucks max to even it all out. Basically, I pretty much only play aggro because I loving love hitting things really fast (my first really big effort deck was Kithkin and I've never really gotten bored with the playstyle), and this is the closest thing I've made to control pretty much ever, but I'm having a hard time figuring out where exactly the sweet spot is for this deck on the aggro/tempo/control scale.

Yea I think your land situation is the only thing I'd change. Adding a few Temples is the way to go so you have more control over your draws.

As far as trading and shipping...its not hard. TBH all you have to do is put the cards in a hard sleeve and ship via mail. I personally tape the hard sleeve to a manilla folder I cut to fit the envelope, but you can cut up a pasta box or a cereal box or anything that is some cardboard to at some rigidity. Postage is only a couple bucks. If you are shipping more than 4 cards you are likely going to just go down to the post office and buy a bubble shipping envelope and ship it in hard sleeves from there. Write do not bend on it and ship it out for still like $3 or so.
