Deck Description

Standard, Oros control...

How to Play

You can survive any type of agressive decks with Pyromancer tokens & removal... ...tough, against most aggro decks, I'd sideboard the 3 Anger of the Gods & drop all 4 Pyromancer... ...I use Pyromancer in the main deck, 'cuz it's good against any matchup.......

Chained to the Rocks is good against gods & effective against many types of threats... ...Angel of Serenity is a nice sideboard for Devotion matchups, since it can take out gods & also reduce the devotion quite a bit by exiling 3 creatures... ...she's also useful for exiling my creatures from the graveyard when facing a control or control-aggro deck with a strong set of removal & just cast my returned creatures when Serenity is gone(it's awesome with Stormbreath, since it has haste, so I can keep pressure on my opponent even after Serenity is gone & without a one turn-gap.......

Rakdos's Return is great against control, especially Sphinx's Revelation, but even against blue Devotion, when the opponent keeps cards for late-game dou to awareness of my board removal(in blue devotion, they usually draw quite some cards as well)...

I chose not to use Whip of Erebos(1 mainboard & 1 sideboard), 'cuz when I return the Demon for a turn, it can easily be stopped by sacrificing a creature & the Dragon has haste by itselfe... ...tough I use 3 Mutavault & 4 Pyromancer with the lifeling ability is great with & also with my other creatures, so I will test it out how it is, when I have the Whip...

3 Keyrune here, because my 5 mana slot is strongest & on turn-4 I intend to either Strombreath, or Council... :)

Desecration Demon is great here, since I have a strong set of removal, so the opponent won't have enough creatures to sacrifice & if he/she does, than he/she'll eventually run out of them... ...when I have two Demon out, it's a slaughter fest... :)

I consider using Toil // Trouble instead of Read the Bones, or may be 1 of it & 2 Bones, 'cuz it really can decide a tie game with the amount og damage it could deal, expecially against a control deck that has drawpower...

I use Thoughtseize against control & control-aggro decks(3), also against Gruul-ramp(2 +3 Lifebane Zombie)... ...the Zombie is awesome against those strong Selesnya-aggro decks & against even Naya ramp & aggro...

I considered using 1 Elspeth in either main or sideboard, because with Pyromancer, it wouldn't be bad, but her 2nd ability here is irrelavent since I have "a few" biggies...


Let me know what you'd change on this!

Deck discussion for Young Warleader's Council

I like the look of this one, however, running any combination of W/B I think Sin Collector is a better choice than lifebane zombie. Especially in this set where (at least where i've played) there's a lot of hate and counter magic.

And, I'm not sure how you would rather play it, but for me Underworld Connections is always a better play than read the bones. Sure, if you use it more, you would lose more life, but I don't think you would ever necessarily enter a situation where that would occur. If you're running it for pyromancer, though, I suppose it makes a bit more sense.

Good look overall, though

Thanks!

Yeah, I really need Bones here & it alwayes gets me faster to where I should be, even if it's just 2 cards, but I have a choise to ignore 1 or 2 cards I don't need, than still get two...

What I'm thinking about is to put Doom Blade & 1 Chained to the Rocks in the sideboard & have 2 Thoughtseize in the main deck... ...whatcha' think?..

Yeah, I can dig your look for bones. I really think those additions would help you out. It'll really help, I think, in dealing with some of the more aggro looks you'll find. And anything you can do to stop blue devotion is good, lol

Yep... :)

Blue Devotion is not hard to stop, you just need 4-5 cards in the sideboard that's 3 or less cmc & could deal with Master of Waves & 3-4 more in the sideboard... ...Golgari Charm is the nightmare of Blue aggro & that card is also awesome against control(just ruining the chanses for Verdict & Cleansing - that's why, in my Esper control deck, I use Eviction instead of Cleansing)...

I use the Charm in the sideboard of my Jund control, tough I think I might put 1 in the main deck & have both Decay in the sideboard... ...that Golgari Charm became even more valuable since we have enchantment creatures & stuff...


Here is my Jund, I belive, you haven't seen it be4: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/consume-the-heroes/
