OK, I'm thinking about throwing Owen Turtenwald's Mono Red Aggro together for a few FNMs, until I can find something that will be more suited for the meta that will shake down in my store, but I can't get quite everything locally, and am not sure I can justify another 70 bucks to complete a deck I don't plan to use for more than a month or two. The strikethroughs are ones that I'm currently short on. The cards I have are at http://www.deckbox.org/sets/302914 4 Burning-Tree Emissary 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Firefist Striker 4 Foundry Street Denizen 2 Goblin Shortcutter 4 Gore-House Chainwalker 4 Rakdos Cackler 8 Spells 4 Lightning Strike 4 Shock 18 Mountain 1 Skullcrack 2 Hammer of Purphoros 1 Act of Treason 3 Flames of the Firebrand 2 Mizzium Mortars 3 Peak Eruption Anil Dikshit fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Oct 2, 2013 |

Ok, here's my first shot at creating a new standard mill deck. I'm going to be honest, this deck is poo poo, for now. I'm mostly trying to throw something together to get the Duskmantle Guildmage-Jace, MA interaction with ConsAberr condition out here for fine tuning. I'm really going to be dependent on you guys to get the rest of the deck in shape, as I don't really know what mill is still in standard. It's for FNM. Win conditions are: Get Jace out along with Duskmantle Guildmage, pump out dMG's first ability, run Jace's 0 ability, reduce opponent to 0, as well as get ConsAberr out, pump him big, swing for the fences. That's why I call this deck: http://deckbox.org/sets/493665 Land: 4 Dimir Guildgate 7 Island 6 Swamp 3 Temple of Deceit 4 Watery Grave 4 Sinister Possession 4 Tome Scour 4 Chronic Flooding 4 Duskmantle Guildmage 3 Ordeal of Erebos 4 Paranoid Delusions 4 Wight of Precinct Six 4 Mind Rot 4 Pilfered Plans 1 Duskmantle Seer 2 Consuming Aberration 3 Jace, Memory Adept 4 Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker

inSTAALed posted:Here is the version of this deck that I am currently working with: millburn drysdale Here's my new version, brought more into line with yours. I splashed red in there because I don't have Hero's downfall, but I do have dreadbore, and I think laying out a couple of blood crypts and steam vents might confuse my opponents a bit. It feels like the deck might be helped by a way to force the opponents to discard more from their hand, to reduce their answers, though.

Equality posted:Hey guys! I'm new to MTG and was planning on buying the Theros Event Deck to play in my LGS' FNM standard events. Could any of you take a look at the deck and give your opinions as to whether it would be possible for me to compete with the deck against battle-hardened decks with plainswalkers and what cards I should try to replace with a limited budget of about 20 Euro a week or so? I would really appreciate any advice! If you're going to be spending 20 euros a week, do something like Red Deck Wins, or something like maze's end fog. Both decks, especially maze's end fog, are really inexpensive, for the format. Also, white weenie ethereal is really accessible, with only 10 out of the 75 being over 50 cents right now. http://deckbox.org/sets/490248 Anil Dikshit fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Oct 12, 2013 |

That said, it's a fun deck, so don't let a little inefficiency stop you from playing the best deck in standard. If I'm building MURDERGOATS!, but am shy 2 mutavaults, what should I substitute?

Well, my murdergoats deck is being slowed down by the fact that my local store doesn't have any Purphoros'. I might have to go a little farther afoot, or actually trade cards with other people. I think, to maximize my trolling opportunities, i might main deck slaughter games, just to choose the one guy I pissed off's gray merchants as soon as i see he's playing his black deck, and choose his stormbreath dragon when he's rolling red.

I don't even understand how I placed at a small FNM last week, much less had no match losses. I'm having fun doing odd things to people. I'm still hopeful, thinking about taking advantage of TNLG's buy list and stock of purphoros, but if it's as much fun as it looks, which is even more fun than making people bitch about Maze's End Fog, and is as out of left field in my meta as Maze's End Fog was, I may come back with a shiv made out of white bordered swamps in my back.

YeehawMcKickass posted:Quick and dirty: Well, I moved a bit closer to paper MURDERGOATS!.dec today. Needed 2 Mutavaults, 2 Rakdos's Returns, 2 Molten Births, a Rakdos Charm, 4 Tymarets, Murder King, and 3 Purphorosi. Got everything but 2 Tymarets, 2 Mutavaults, and 2 Purphorosi. The owner of my local store realized he'd sold all his Godless Shrines and Temple of Silences out of his deck, and was hosed on his mana base, so he put a post on facebook offering 12 bucks credit per Godless Shrine and 8 bucks credit per Temple of Silence. I loaned him the cards initially, and yesterday took him up on the deal, so I could build MURDERGOATS! I got all those cards and still have like 3 bucks credit. Because I was nice to him initially, he broke down his B/R deck and hooked me up. I'm going to trade in my foil DRS and foil Kalonian Hydra somewhere to finish it off.

Well, I'm thinking I'm going to give MURDERGOATS! 2.5 a rest this friday. I have everything for Turtelwald's RDW except two reckoners and an ash zealot. Aside from adding two more shocks, what would you recommend changing to get it up to 60 cards? It's a modern night, but I don't have much modern except for Scars of Mirrodin to now. I mean, it's either that, or looking through what I have to see what I can change in Maze's End Fog. Links are below: RDW Maze's End Fog

I have too many boxes, not enough labels. I'm taking my Maze's End Fog deck, too, depending on who's there. If the dude that ragequit against me and told me that he wished I'd die at game day doesn't apologize, then I'm running it with Slaughter Games maindeck. He only runs monocolor, and always red or black, and I know what his win conditions are. Game 1: T4 - Slaughter Games Gary the Merchant or Stormbreath Dragon. Awww, yeah...

When it went off, it went off loving awesome. I won games in every round, but lost matches generally to manascrew. I think if I run this again, I'm dropping the mutavaults for mountains. I really regret not sideboarding in some burning earths and molten rains during game 2s, though.

a dozen swans posted:I feel like overloaded Cyclonic Rift is a good response for Grey Merchant or Fanatic. Curse of the Swine looks like good utility for problem creatures (since the 2/2s can then just get blocked forever), and it also hoses devotion. Dismiss Into Dream / Blustersquall seems like it might be a useful Plan B (Skygames might also be a good choice for infinite creature removal), and it gets around indestructability as a nice bonus. Shipbreaker Kraken seems like a fun one-of, and if you want to splash black Whispering Madness looks like another sideboard kill spell against Slaughter Games. With cyclonic rift, you still have to take the devotion hit of even just one or two damage from Moogie's boy and Gary.

bhsman posted:I lucked into a bunch of trades and walked away with 3 copies of Purphoros and Blood Crypt, with hopefully more on the way. MURDERGOATS. I tried running MURDERGOATS! 2.5! with only three Purphori in it, and just never saw one in 8 total games. I know my shuffling's not great, but I really think it needs 4. Also, TCG has near mint ones showing for 8 bucks, so you might try running a fourth in there, even if you just proxy it a while, just for testing.

suicidesteve posted:I definitely agree with this. The times I drew an extra Purph when I had 4 far outweigh the times I don't draw one when I do with 3. It's not like Tymaret, where he's pretty likely to die at some point so having a spare isn't usually a bad thing. Not to mention if you do have Purphuros and 2 Tymarets, you can just recur Tymaret as much as you want for RRB1: Shock. Not exactly efficient, but it can be pretty hard to play against. Chump block with Tymaret, sac to get graveyard Tymaret back. The damage prevented and done adds up pretty quick. I'm thinking about, as a test for how I shuffle, switching purphoros, tymaret, and young pyromancer's sleeves for a different color, just to see how bad I am at mash shuffling. I really don't think I should be having as much trouble as I am with my guys, even though I'm playing with cardboard, and you guys, at least some of you, are in person.

I started thinking about MURDERFARM last night, and realized something so very awesome about this deck. We're running a deck that is Chick Tract-level Satan worshipping here. Tymaret is sacrificing goats to a god so that we can call down lightning from the sky to hit our enemies. Purphoros is answering our prayers for creatures by raining fire down upon our enemies. Young Pyromancer is like a little brother who wants to be like his big sis, Chandra, so he's dressing up like her and trying to play, too. Goddamn, I love this loving game.

My LGS is running a Tcgplayer max points bronze standard event on the 11th, with a  entry fee. I think the prize structure is going to be basically limited to points, playmats, and invitations to the next bigger event, so I want to top 4 minimum. I know murderfarm is a big no on that, so I'm not running it. Maze's end fog is tempting, but I'm worried about devotion decks, so I'm looking at Rakdos aggro or mono-red aggro/devotion. Anyone have a good decklist for that?
