Mutavaults and more Jaces. But that's pricey
|
I might be able to get one more of each, but thats a maybe What would you take out for the Jaces?
|
I meant more Jace Architect. Nightveils probably.
|
Anyone going to SCG LA tomorrow?
|
I need more modern/legacy playtesting buddies. If you'd like to do that, send me a PM or hop into the skype channel!
|
there's a skype? :O Where do you playtest? I can't really afford to buy digital cards.
|
he possibly plays on cockatrice
|
Shhh... can't actually say that huehue
|
is it just me or is G/R monsters falling out of popularity?

Its Jund monsters now.

Well I haven't seen that in like a week either.

Still a very solid archetype, has game against most of the big tier decks out right now. Its big problem is that it has to play 8 mana accelerants and 23 lands, meaning after turn 5 half of your draws are essentially dead. If you don't have a Domri/Courser to give you some game I find the deck just dies. Also relies really heavily on Stormbreath in the control matchups. Made 2nd place in a recent bronze event (65~ ppl) with Jund Monsters, losing in the finals to an aggressive version of GR Monsters (4x Boon Satyr 4x Ghor Clan too explosive). Still very good, Esper just had a good showing in the last Open so people are picking that up again.

I don't think that deck has any traction against Esper.

Would you guys be willing to critique my deck? I play modern and very casually.
+ Show Spoiler +I'm trying to keep the costs dirt cheap since I have no intention to invest a ton and go competitive, it's just for fun. This is a sac deck mostly because I like black/being a bit of a jerk ;P http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/bloody-rage-1/Unfortunately, some cards that are super awesome (some of these are in my maybeboard or just not there at all) but cost more than I'm willing to pay for a playset, unless the total deck price works out to be reasonable. (I'm willing to spend $30 after shipping. but I prefer to be even more frugal..)
|
What do gravecrawlers cost these days?
Also I don't think quest for the gravelord is what you are looking for. It's cool and all but its basically just a cheap 5/5 that takes a bit to get going which doesn't seem worth it.
|
Gravecrawler is $3.74 for 1 on tcg player..
I figured quest could give me a win condition since 5/5 is kinda scary.. but I already have bloodthrone vampire which can get way bigger than 5/5.
Thanks for pointing that out. ^^

I'd consider only running 3 dark prophecies, since multiples don't necessarily seem that great (the life cost mostly). I'd also consider more lands as i'm guessing that you are going to be very mana hungry with those (1B: revive) creatures.
Also geths verdict seems kinda questionable. If you want it as a bad sac outlet/removal you should be running devour flesh, and if you want it as pure removal then there are lots of better options 
I wonder what nykthos costs. I bet 2-3 nykthos would spice up the deck nicely.
|
I was thinking about looking into a reliable way to generate mana. Nykthos would be amazing but it's like $6-7..
Geth's Verdict was removal that got around stuff like shroud and hex proof. I have two creatures as sac outlets so I wasn't intended on GV to fill that role. So you're saying I should just use Go for the Throat or something?
I thought about splashing red at first, I had act of treason in there which is fun to do. I'm not sure if I should put that back or if there is another color that has some good stuff for this..
|
I guess it depends on what you think you are playing against. Since your entire deck can kill exactly 4 creatures, I'd prefer being able to pick which 4 concern me the most.
