It's not us agreeing with you and ignoring giving you advice. You brought up the deck that Brian Sondag ran, and we were discussing it and how it affects the meta. | ||

Would bring your inkmoths back. Would be a dead card in hand, though, So maybe 2 of in the side. Not sure it's worth it to draw a dead card. | ||

Also got a Ranger and Wolf Run. First round: both games I get out Liliana, he has Brimstone Volley. I still win both games. Third game had me cast Geistflame at 1 life for the win. | ||

DECK: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8p24w.jpg) Had lots of removal. Essence was really strong obviously but travel preparations was much better than expected. Also opened a grimgrin but had no blue and black wasn't very strong. | ||

Kessig Wolf Run plus a first striker is unfair. I took down a 6/9 Skaab Goliath and a 3/8 Fortress Crab on consecutive turns with my Abattoir Ghoul. My deck had no way to take advantage of Liliana's +1 ability. The only time she really got going, my opponent played a Witchbane Orb. I almost submitted a deck that didn't have any mountains before I talked myself into splashing Geistflame. It was only afterwards that I realized that Kessig had red in the activation. Green has some decent removal. Ambush Viper and Nightfall Predator are instant speed, and Prey Upon is sorcery speed. You need a bigger creature for Prey Upon, but you're in green so you should have big creatures. | ||

I'm wanting to get a few thousand cards so that me and a few mates can make decks and get the nostalgia xD. i'm not rly interested in getting the pro cards, just commons and uncommons will do! thank you <3 http://tcgplayer.com/ has aggregates of a bunch of different shops (including 3rd Coast) with price sorting. If you just want commons/uncommons, though, buying singles is much more expensive than just buying boosters for draft, or even the entire set, for instance, this ebay listing is $35 (plus shipping) for 4 (a full playset) of every single common and uncommon in Innistrad, where buying them separately, you'd be paying closer to $70. They also ship overseas as well. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + 2 Geistflame 1 Devil's Play 1 Silent Departure 1 Harvest Pyre 1 Desperate Ravings 1 Think Twice 1 Nightbird's Clutches 1 Stitcher's Apprentice 2 Forbidden Alchemies 2 Riot Devils 2 Armored Skaabs 1 Claustrophobia 1 Burning Vengance 1 Hanweir Watchkeep 1 Rolling Tremblor 1 Constructed-Playable Lantern Spirit 2 Murder of Crows(!) 1 Heretic's Punishment I was probably a little greedy, trying to draft an archetype based on just one Burning Vengeance, but it's just too awesome. It's the best when your opponent forgets about a Devil's Play you played 9 turns ago and you dome them for 6+2 from Vengeance. Still, if you don't have either Vengeance or Heretic's Punishment out, the deck loses like..25% of its efficacy. I need to start drafting werewolves or some W/G Human archetype. Cards never come though =( | ||

If you want to take what I just wrote harshly then fine, but exalted isn't too far off the mark, you're just netdecking. Play the deck, incorporate your meta and go from there. Sondag had the luxury of not prepping for ANY mirrors out of his board, really doubt that's going to hold true the rest of the way. This is literally the best deck in Standard right now with favorable match ups except the mono-red and even that isn't too bad. Edit: In case you're wondering why this is even an issue, it's because creating a format-dominating deck at the start of post-rotation is very high accolades, simply calling it your deck is pretty insulting to Sondag and anyone else who brews at these levels. Call it sensitive or whatever you want, but these things do matter. | ||

clearly i am not the one who made it. if you just take a few steps back and think about it, it would be ridiculous for me to claim that so me saying it was "my" deck in the sense that I built it is dumb. I guess thats why his comment bothered me so much. maybe i just got baited by the troll. i still dont understand why asking for sideboard advice is ridiculous. i mean i am testing my own ideas, but i was wondering if anyone had any inspirations that i might have missed for the mirror. but w/e if no one wants to help then thats fine too. my comment earlier that was picked apart was more amusement than anger(which i can see now how its misinterpreted) that i was asking for SB advice and someone wrote an essay about the deck instead. | ||
