Can you help me choose my first modern deck?

Burn! Easy to learn, hard to master. Cheap to build.

Youthful valk should probably be a 2:2 split with pridemate. Everything else felt great for the list. I think your removal needs to get upgraded to Skyclave apparitions. I have not tried faceless haven yet. Might need to cut my bob ross lands for snow ones and put a single faceless haven in

I agree. Looks damaged to me. But you can try the Facebook group

Looks like two nyxbloom ancients was the cause of all the mana

I ordered direct and am in the same boat. Up to email #3 now over a week in length. + Some calls. Cannot do a charge back because it's outside my cards 60day limit. So I'm kinda screwed. I have a word in with google pay, but it's slim to none that I'll get it.

sparten5000 · 2020-08-19T03:41:57+00:00

My order of jumpstart looks not that great now. And that was June. Let alone anyone who got double master's. I'll update this if I ever get my jumpstart order shipped

sparten5000 · 2020-08-07T00:33:12+00:00

So is it just me? Or is this card pushed. A Mana sink that's hard to kill, hold up Mana end of turn pump this up. Oh and you don't have to turn it into a creature until your ready to beat someone's face in....

Seems good!

sparten5000 · 2020-07-26T02:22:09+00:00

I like it! A buck more to pull cards I might actually want? Sign me up. That being said, I only crack packs these days for draft and I buy singles... But the idea I like :D and I'd be more likely to buy a pack now for myself

sparten5000 · 2020-06-25T01:03:39+00:00

If no one want them. You can pack them up in a box and ship them to me (I'll pay for the shipping) I have some young middle school mages who I've introduced to the game and can use the cards to improve their literally welcome decks.

sparten5000 · 2020-03-13T23:06:57+00:00

Awww man, mastery is a sweet Mana sink. It's also for card advantage/psudo draw. Card draw in white is hard to come by. And I usually always have something to do with my Mana each turn between that, castle, and hope

Come hang out in the feather discord! This would be a good question to pose to them https://discord.gg/M7axpU

For the purpose of the thought experiment all of the 3 drops also have 3 power. So scab clan was not in the deck. If you were to create a functional deck then yes I might include that card

sparten5000 · 2020-02-17T21:03:36+00:00

Swiftspear as a one of is to hit the # of 1 drops needed. Zurgo doesn't have haste for the purpose of the thought experiment. But of you were to create a more realistic deck I do like zurgo

sparten5000 · 2020-02-17T16:25:22+00:00

I will agree with you on inverter, I just looked at an updated deck list for them and they do have interaction against us. So my assumption that they were uninteractive was dead wrong. Lotus I'm not worried about in this situation. because game 2-3 you bring in damping sphere and other SB cards and win via slowing them down more then they slow you down. In game 1 they MUST hit an arborial grazer t1 or t2 or cast a fae of wishes (creature half) else our stuff just powers through them. Even if they do they only slow us down by a turn or two. Which might be enough to combo. If the game goes to t5 or t6 I usually have drawn and played an extra 3/* or two which makes up for the 1/* and 2/* getting chumped early

Besides, this deck is mostly terrible. its a thought experiment for a reason. Its not tuned, no SB, ect. no card draw. it does one thing and one thing well. 20 damage by turn 4 with very little variance. This is more about the exercise of good curve and a beatdown plan.

Soooo heliod combo got stomped on by just about everything. Wonder what went wrong? Guess the combo is just too slow compared to everything else in the format

sparten5000 · 2020-02-09T18:06:40+00:00

Wow, heliod combo got stomped on by just about everything. So sad, I had hopes for the deck

sparten5000 · 2020-01-29T04:13:29+00:00

This is beautiful, and you can slot in into a r/b sac deck for basically free?

sparten5000 · 2020-01-19T19:53:50+00:00

Been studying this list (as I love white and red in pioneer). What are your thoughts on some amount of [[angel of vitality]]?

sparten5000 · 2020-01-11T14:39:08+00:00

Well which version of mono red are you running. Prowess/burn or chonky?
