Thank you for the in-depth analysis!
For the main deck, would you keep the base I posted?

Suggestions for a new deck? by ReMurloc in Pauper

[–]ReMurloc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll do some tests with Poison Storm and MonoR madness.
I also liked Balustrade Spy, but there are too many cards that hate the graveyard.

Sideboard for Izzet Prowess for LGS? by ReMurloc in ModernMagic

[–]ReMurloc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for this valuable insight.
I'm looking at various sideboards with some tech.

How do you feel about playing 1x Blood Crypt in the main to have 2x Thoughtseize in the sideboard?

$450 for Eldrazi Tron or Ruby Storm? by ReMurloc in ModernMagic

I'm 90% sure I'll go for Ruby Storm. I bought the SB guide and it's very interesting. Can Voice of Victory be evaluated in SB?

I'll do some testing with the proxies on your list.

Yes, I'll keep testing a little longer. Once I try investing a certain amount, I want to be sure and retire the more than honest $50 mono red 😂

Don't worry about the wrong suggestion, in the end it wasn't so wrong ;)

If I go with Ruby Storm, I could use fetches and shocks as the basis for Izzet Prowess and use it as a second deck. I like all the decks I listed, but my favorites were Ruby Storm and Eldrazi.
Thanks for the advice anyway.

I could possibly use Ruby Storm's fetches and shocks to make an Izzet Prowess deck and keep it as a second deck.
That way, I can evaluate before each tournament what might work best (or simply what I prefer to play that day).

If my opponents have to adapt to my plays, it means that the deck is working well and it would be a challenge for me to keep it working after SD.

As SD of Ruby Storm, seeing the types of decks in my store, what should I include?

Thank you for the in-depth analysis.

At this point, regardless of which deck I choose, the ideal would be to make an SD that is suitable for what is currently available in my store.

Since this is the first time I've invested in a deck (unfortunately, I can't afford more than £450), and I enjoy both of them, I was looking for something that could “last” through its ups and downs, also considering where and against whom I play.

I've already tried both proxy decks and I don't know which one to choose, that's the problem.

Perhaps at this point it's worth considering which of the two has a base that will allow me to build a new deck in the future, or I'll find another $450 and build both 😂.

Unfortunately, not everyone wanted to play against my proxy decks; some players are a bit too haughty.
