The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

What's Dega?
Permalink
It's the color scheme of the deck. Kinda like how red and white is Boros.
Red White is Boros because wizards printed it. Red Blue Black is Grixis because wizards printed it. So that means it's an unofficial name right now, like Dirt/Junk (but it's really Dirt). Dega doesn't even sound good. Wizards really needs to print wedge names. :(Anyway, the deck seems decent. Nykthos isn't gonna do very much with a Boros Reckoner in play , it would probably be better as either two shocks, or with adding a little bit more 1/ 2 drops to actually ramp with it. Oh and devotion to red would be better to hit the Rakdos's Return/Mortars on turn 4. :)There's actually too much removal in my opinion. Could probably remove the Cleansings or a split with Eviction. Well, pass it along to your friend if you agree, or don't so you can win more, depending. :D lol
Dega is a legit name, it's just really old. Dega means White with Black and Red as backup colors. It comes from Apocalypse, which had Dega Disciple (A white creature with black and red activated abilities), Degavolver (A white creature with black or white kicker), and Dega Sanctuary (A white enchantment which gained you life if you had black and red permanents in play.)
Nowadays, White-Black-Red is mostly called "Oros", named for Orzhov-Boros and for the legendary Planar Chaos dragon, Oros the Avenger.
Awesome, I didn't know that obviously. :DAnyway, it was not my main point.
I like Dega's name. Dega: Red White BlackBUG: Black Blue GreenJunk: Green, White, BlackEsper: Black Blue WhiteGrixis: Black Blue RedNaya: Red White GreenJund: Green Red BlackBant: Green White BlueI believe that's all of them
RUG and American.
Oh right RUG: Red Blue Green'Umerica: Red White Blue and some freedom fries
Well, if we're being old testament about it :)Dega: Black Red WhiteRaka: Blue Red WhiteAna: Blue Black GreenCeta: Blue Green RedNecra: Black Green WhiteAnd then there's the Shards:Esper: Black Blue WhiteBant: Blue White GreenNaya: White Green RedJund: Green Red BlackGrixis: Red Black Blue
I suppose if you want to go old school then yeah, but I haven't heard these names commonly used.
@VintageFTW: That's a terrible idea, I'm just gonna start calling Dega decks Oreos lol
GBU is AnaURB is CetaWBR is DegaBGW is NecraRWU is Rakahttp://www.mtgvault.com/cards/search/?q=volver&searchtype=name&ps=20Yeah, Wedges of Alara would be nice to have.
Well, of course, the wedge names are very old (from Apocalypse, 2001). The slang for them today is mostly what has developed over the years. Dega goes by Oros, Ana and Ceta have their initials simply read as 'rug' and 'bug', Necra is closely tied to 'Junk', and Raka is occasionally called "American".I personally would love a wedge set like Shards of Alara.
I've been looking for those names. I'm making a custom set thing for fun with a magic card creator. It's a wedge set. :P (i also have a League of Legends set) XP
Lol, I totally didn't see RaiderKrom's post
Hmm, take Planar Cleasing away, it's not have a good synergy with your deck at all.
Interesting...The curve is a little bit too high with not enough lands... ...I don't get it, why you use both Cleansing & Eviction... ...& if you do, why a total 5??... ...that's too much for a deck like this & Cleansing also put you in a disadventage most of the time.......Nykthos won't do you much good with the permanents you have here, even tough you play 4 Reckoner, it won't work out for you...Tajik won't trigger often... ...this is not a fast enough deck for Battalion, especially with you using Planar Cleansing & what if the opponent also has a strong set of removal(?)...Aurelia is not bad by herselfe, but you won't have many creatures on board to take adventage of her trigger... ...tough, 1 copy of her is reasonable, yet I won't play her in a non-aggro deck...Anger would also kill your Soldier of the Pantheon & Boros Reckoner... ...you suffacate yourselfe too much with your own spells :)When building Oros, you have 3 choises - either you use only spot removal & many creatures(you can do this aggro-style or control-aggro), or you use bigger creatures, but still quite some of them & Anger of Gods along with spot removal, or you can make it a control deck with few bigger creatures & with 26 lands, than you can use Eviction & Cleansing at the same time...Looking at your deck, I started thinking about building an Oros control deck with wipes & few creatures, but I think the best way to do Oros is option-2 of wich I stated the three lines above this... ...I belive, you've seen my version before...I've made a Junk aggro deck yesterday: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/advent-of-the-one/
Here is my newest version of Oros: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/young-warleaders-council/
I would replace the Merciless eviction and Planar cleansing (that or move them to Sideboard). I'd replace those with Assemble the Legion and/or Protection spells or Devour flesh/celestial Flare for those pesky fleecemanes and caryatids.. If you did that then you can put the cleansings and evictions back in if you need them and have a win con from Assemble. Think about Brave the elements or Gods willing since you're running all white creatures and Brave can let you attack through opponents. Brave the elements has the added advantage that you can cast that and then cast Anger of the gods with no problems at turn 4 and still have your creatures intact.That and I would add some rakdos Guildgates too.. You have some pretty color intensive spells in there like anger and hero's downfall and dreadbore which you want to be able to cast early.
You're missing whip of erebos, elspeth, and chandra, also slaughter games needs to be in the sideboard. Also control needs about, 25 or 26 lands
Maybe Elspeth. Yeah, maybe more lands, but they're not necessary. Then it for sure needs some way to draw.
4 color control with 23 lands. It works. Your argument is invalid. http://www.mtgvault.com/kjsj3/decks/grixis-control-standard-fnm/
That's not how making an argument invalid works, generally most Dega decks run Rakdos's return to kill pretty quickly and a good amount of lands. Also you are running chromatic lantern, he is not.
Not necessarily, I've seen Rakdos' return cast early to empty opponent's hands.. It doesn't have to be for a lot, just enough to reduce the opponent's options (e.g. turn 4 or 5 where they have 4-5 cards in hand).
It's always a pretty good finisher, but the point in control is to have mana open for something else. Like 8 mana, 6 for Rakdos's Return and if they use a Supreme Verdict, use a boros charm to make you stuff indestructible
You definitely need more of a draw card mechanic herePossibly Underworld Connections or Read the Bones. Also, I would drop the Soldier of the Pantheon in favor of a bigger creature like Stormbreath Dragon or Blood Baron of Vizkopa. You would also benefit heavily from Thoughtseize.If you get the chance, please check out my R/W soldier deck.http://www.mtgvault.com/claeb/decks/war-is-upon-you/
I like this guys style, its like he read my mind; Blood Baron is to strong to not have in here, he alone can turn a game in your favor.
My play group called this color scheme "Loganos" because we each took a junk shard and made it our own. Our friend Logan took this one. He wasn't too original v.v
Hi, I'm currently playtesting my own deck on MTGO, and if you have this deck online as well I'd like to vs you with it as I am trying to get as much testing in as I can. If you're interested here's the link to all the information. Thanks.http://www.mtgvault.com/bennyboy777/decks/midrange-aggro-gruul/
I do not play on mtgo. However I do (once in a blue moon) play on Cockatrice.
Nice deck , check out this deck if you have a moment http://www.mtgvault.com/dragon77/decks/budget-attack-of-the-land/ and this deck http://www.mtgvault.com/dragon77/decks/army-of-zombies/ Thanks in advance
Can't say am a big fan of Auralia or Obzedat in this deck. I would consider creatures with more flexible costs. Maybe Blood Baron and Stormbreath instead or even an elspeth if you have one to spare. I also like Assemble the Legion as a threat that is hard to answer once resolved.
