Lonk Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I think I did Spirits poorly. Anyone want to criticize this deck? 4 Dungeon Geist 4 Drogskol Captain 4 Doomed Traveler 4 Intangible Virtue 2 Mana Leak 4 Midnight Haunting 4 Seachrome Coast 4 Drowned Catacombs 7 Island 4 Isolated Chapel 7 Plain 2 Swamp 2 Sorin, Lord of Innistrad 4 Lingering Souls 4 Ponder Testing shows that I manage to get in 8+ creatures with 4/4+ stats however.

[/quote] It's impossible to not run Spirits without Delver and Snapcaster Mage. At the moment, Doomed Traveller is basically a subpar Delver. And Intangible Virtue seems unneeded as such. -2 Swamp -1 Midnight Haunting -2 Dungeon Geists -4 Doomed Traveller -4 Intangible Virtue +2 Island +3 Phantasmal Image +4 Delver of Secrets +4 Snapcaster Mage Then it's basically tourney-worthy Spirits. You could try to fit in Gitaxian Probe or something too. [b]Oh, and let's finalize on non-creature Spells for Red.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lightray Daedalus- Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Deck Also Needs Moorland Haunt which is very important at making all the resources reusable... =D @Rai: I posted the 20 Spells...analyze them coz those are them....I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 - Volcanic Hammer - Shock + Lash Out + Lightning Bolt Just replacing some of the smaller burn cards. I like though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that Red will be ridiculously fast in the cube, so we might as well give them a single copy of Lightning Bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm thinking of negging either 2 Sorin or 2 Mana Leak to fit in 2 Moorland Haunt. Maybe 2 Isolated Chapels to neg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Requiem Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 You only need 1 moorland Haunt because you are only running 12 creatures. I would suggest just cutting one Island as it won't hinder your mana base and you won't need to cut into any other parts of the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonk Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Flogging yes. Honestly though, some cards in the set are severely outclassed by other cards in the set. Still, the set is pretty good.

Lonk Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Although I'd wish Arcane Melee was 2 CMC cheaper, it still seems pretty nice to play alongside with counters. With Tamiyo tapping cards and disturbing your opponent's strategy (it seems meh, but disruption is nice), playing a fecal load of counters that are 1 or 2 CMC cheaper to make the advantage your opponent gets from your Arcane Melee, and Fuel for the cause being just 2 CMC cheaper while helping Tamiyo get counters, it becomes so hilarious on paper that I just have to test that out.

Zeal Ascendant Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Wow, set looks very cool. I still think it would've been nice to have 1 or 2 black guys with a "parasitic" soulbond but I guess that would go against soulbond's flavor, so oh well. Anyway, can't wait to draft this!

Something that can casually enable everything and change what it enables at will with a simple Soulbond mechanic is genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Remnants Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I notice you guys are talking about online MTG? I figure now would be as good a time as any to tell you all about a program I found that fully supports MTG online in all formats. It's called [url="http://cockatrice.de/"]Cockatrice[/url], and it allows you to play Standard, EDH, and even Draft. It's completely free, and it's perfectly legit. With Avacyn about to come out, I figure it will be a good place to try out new strategies before I go to FNM. Plus, a casual game of EDH with friends is always fun (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
