Are you serious? Still using asterisk quotes smh

That aside, there is NO cheaper alternative to Boros Reckoner. It is a unique card that currently has no equal in its ability. If you cant afford to physically buy them all at once, then budget and buy them over time. Thats what i do! And if after that you still cant afford to get them, then how do you even afford to play magic in the first place? Its not exactly what you would call a cheap hobby

truthfully canyon minotaur is one of my fav magic cards because of its flavor text. yeah he may not be the greatest minotaur out of the herd, but he never fails to make me grin when i look at him :D

however the whip does open up a whole new option for some strategies. looking at JUST theros, you could theoretically use a returned centaur to mill 8 cards from an opponent. if you had 4 then there is 32 total cards. now look at if you added in rescue from the underworld. use that on a returned centaur to get back a dead returned centaur and you add another 8 to the cycle. add in 4 of those and you now have over 60 mill from just those 3 cards. now i know that that combo is very unlikely to actually work every time because of mana costs, but its a good look at how effective black is this time around. and thats just on its own!! splash in a bit of blue and its even more broke than it would be beforehand!!!

also, i now feel obliged to make a deck focusing on the whip of erebos

thanks benny_boy777. i dont get much feedback so i appreciate any that i do get :)

all done. just made it public

true that. im going to get back to my new deck im working on (which is coincidentally focused on minotaurs). give it a look when i finish it in about an hour or so :)

PS its a standard minotaur burn deck

oh i am well aware of that. i ran 2 [Triad of the Fates] and epically owned every time i had it out. theros W/B plus Orzohv will be broke as hell

whoever said that i myself was playing standard? i prefer modern lol

...is he seriously using asterisk actions? WTF are you 12? if you cant comment on a deck and not hate on what the deck's creator was attempting to accomplish, then get out. magic has no place for obnoxious players like you

minotaurs dont work? dont make me [Blasphemous Act] two [Boros Reckoners] on you!!!

i agree ninjastyle612. black got plenty of good upgrades from theros. I ran a W/B theros deck at a local prerelease and almost everyone there was running some sort of black spell. the most prominent black card was (hilariously) [Read the Bones]. you would here people call it about every 3-5 seconds. black is always good, but saying there were no upgrades makes me want to come over and slap people around with my current black theros deck

ok. just thought i would ask. no harm meant

[Heartless Summoning] can only do so much, and there is no guarantee you will even get it the first few turns, even with 4 in there.

agreed. ramp is ridiculously high

slivers are nototius for being creature rush decks, so you should add a few more. i highly recommend adding more [Thorncaster Sliver]s because that ability can really damage your opponent something fierce

nice, but why the selesnya tag? yes its green/white, but it doesnt use any selesnya in it...

you should swap out [Stroke of Genius] with [Genesis Wave] because it puts whatever you draw straight onto the field. ive used it myself and its a nice way to really make your opponent feel about an inch big when you drop anywhere from 5 to 15 slivers at once. other than that, good lineup

dane cook reference ftw

agreed. tired of all the lame comments cropping up

i have a modern sliver deck ive been running lately based off the one i have on here, and this looks pretty good for being all standard. might i recommend [Farseek] should you decide to add in other types of land? Also, i use [Door of Destinies] myself, but i usually only drop it if i happen to get my [Genesis Wave] with enough mana and slivers to tap to make it worth it.

although it is a bit pricey, might i also recommend [Riot Control]? gives you life while preventing attacks for a turn.
