Drawing cards and stuff

by atherin112489 on 30 January 2015

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

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

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I really just wanted to build a deck with Lorescale Coatl in it. As for the Modern Tag don't take too seriously when recommending additions (I'll be removing it soon).

Oracle doesn't actualy draw though just puts it into your hand.

Baby jace, Misty rainforest, serum vision, and cryptic command because they're some of the best cards here for better starts/control.

Prob throws the budget out the window though lol

True I haven't read the card in a while so I just assumed that it drew and not put into hand.

Because he built to to "try" to one up the op. Then proceeded to act like he knew what he was talking "I'm guessing because as I stated I didnt read the rest of his post" about yet looking at his deck he clearly doesn't.

He literally made his deck after he saw this one. He wanted his chance at the spotlight I'm guessing by trying to steal it from someone else. I've seen it happen many times over and it never works

I have seen it too.
This is what I hate.
You try to make a card with let us say, "Card A" and "Card B" as a combo.
You make it and ask for help on here.
What you get is this, "Yeah, I made a better version of that combo/deck last year...let me send you a link to see how it is suppose to be made."
I don't need to know:
A) You made a deck with the same combo
B) You think your deck is better

What I need is ideas/comments/suggestions/support.

That happens a lot on vault and really it just goes to whoever is more popular or gets the deck hotlisted first. I wouldn't say he was "trolling" but I don't think you should be advertising your deck on someone else's page.

The author didn't really make any inclination as to whether this was a deck that needed to be bound by modern rules, or if it was a casual deck that he just slapped the modern tag on because it was the closest thing it resembled. Previous comments made before mine involved cards that were not modern legal, so in the event that it was the latter, the link was intended to give the author + other commentators insight into some cards that they may not have seen yet or remembered. I didn't troll. I actually own the deck, I just didn't have a reason to upload the deck list till now. For those whom have doubts:
http://s1062.photobucket.com/user/noahlemke/media/imagejpg1_zps53a8b894.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

In the event, that it was the former; that the author was simply playing a casual deck bound by modern rules; I gave 8 suggestions. Every single suggestion I made i made is valid, and I didn't just say "this card is bad." I gave a reason why, proposed an alternative, or did both. My advice was given under the assumption that card changes would go through play-testing before the list would be changed, and its a pity that you can't recognize legitimate feedback.

Good luck with your deck in whichever direction you so choose to take it.

No we recognize legitimate advice. The problem is you started your whole post with "here's my deck" instead of just giving advice. Advice is nice and all, but leading of with Your deck like that makes you look like a complete attention whore. I'm not hating on your advice, as it was sound. Most people offering advice only say that certain cards suck and then leave it at that, but you have reason and suggested replacements, so kudos to you for that. Just next time Stay with the advice and then add a finishing note add in the fact that you have a deck similar as an afterthought. It makes you look like less of a troll and more like you're actually offering advice

The only problem I can see is that he suggested to take out Lorescale Coatl which this deck is built around. His suggestions might result in a better deck (haven't checked) but even if - it is a different deck with a different basis. When you give advice, please stick to what the author actually wants.
( I am late for the party, though, so maybe the deck description has changed meanwhile - deck authors shouldn't complain about off comments if they fail to describe what they want)

Anyway, I don't see a problem with his actual suggestions. And linking his own deck is okay as long as
a) he also gives solid advice, not just the link
b) the advice doesn't boil down to "replace this with that" without further explanation why
c) the changes don't warp the deck into something completely else

I myself link my own decks when I feel like the author of the current deck could get some ideas from my creation, especially when I know there is useful information in the deck description and how to play section.

i know you're not running red but Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind would make an awesome addition to this deck with all the card draw, work really well with brainstorm.

I can't even think about running any Blue/Green deck anymore without "Prophet of Kruphix". Most broken card i've seen in a long time. Make's a good addition to any deck of these colors ;) Plus casting those creatures as if they had flash might raise the tempo/speed of your deck. As far as card draw "Curiosity" always worked for me. I just found out that "Preordain" was banned in modern... son of a....

How are just now finding out that Preordain is Banned? It's been the case pretty much since the formats inception.

You could try Rites of Flourishing.
It lets you draw an additional card and play an additional land each turn for just 3 mana on the turn you play it. :)

See normally people would flip over this, but then you stop and realize the truth. Rep means nothing.

So true. They should give people with better rep a better chance of making hot page. Or maybe people with negative rep should have all comments automatically triple-downvoted

No because that wouldn't solve anything. The inky thing two does is show how active you are on vault, to a certain extent. Beyond that it does nothing

I'm very surprised Momentous Fall hasn't been mentioned. Say you have a very large Chasm Skulker, sacrifice it into a Lorescale Coatl putting out a bunch of squids, drawing cards, gaining life and then adding +1/+1 counters to your Coatl. Plus, being very affordable price it would be a nice addition to this deck. Also almost forgot, Spreading Seas works great against non-basic lands they maybe running, adds draw effect, and slows down opponent in addition may add that second island to your mana pool if needed.

hardened scales would be helpful, because on lorescale and chasm skulker, every time you draw, you get 2 +1/+1 counters
