Despite my love of all formats, Brainstorming is actually aimed at the competitive formats such as Standard and Modern (not mentioning legacy because I don't know enough yet) so lets stick to talking competitive magic please :P

KJ will literally nerdgasm till the floor is covered in a thin film of nerd semen... apologies for that image... but control is getting a big old boost

Yup, that is about right, mind crank might help your opponent as well xD

There was an interesting article from Bennie Smith about playing Mardu in Miami, and he said that he wished he had had the 25th land, and I personally agree with these big midrange decks, however midrange looks to be going down, control might be able to challenge it with Dragons of Tarkir, especially with Narset and psedo-cryptic command

Ye I completely agree, build a deck you like and then just improve it!

I'm ill right now, and had a mock in Russian history, so I'm a tad dead so someone translate that into simple for me?

Modern probably isn't the best format for that, I'd look at standard

Thank you!

For Modern? Na bro, all about streamlining burn to deal 20 damage in as few turns as possible, Mill is tough in modern because you need to do 50 'damage' while as everyone else only has to deal 20 damage

Life gain isn't huge in any formats, but Eidolon is a beater! Ball lightning sacing itself might be an issue, I really think the Mill just screws the fluidity of Burn, it was a nice idea, but tripling the way you win and throwing 4 slots away doesn't sound like the smartest plan

Best I can think of is Thundermaw Hellkite, and that takes 10ish attacks to mill

It isn't really a second win con, because burn can't really manage 50ish points of burn in the average game

Bit of an issue here... you've tripled the difficult job of killing your opponent rather than just burning them

Umm it was a David Cameron Rap quote...

Dude don't spend money online, use cockatrice

We don't care about the poor, because we are the party of the mother fuckers we don't care about the mother suckers ;)

Than that makes you enjoying the article that little bit nicer! Glad you liked it!

I completely disagree, build the deck you really want, hey it could be 5 or mono colour, but as long as you enjoy it, it will be worth it, but never keep a standard deck the same for more than 1 rotation, speaking from experience it doesn't work

This is a nice take on mono-red, however you may have too few land for the number of 3 drops, maybe increase, if you're having budget issues my new Brainstorming article is all about that, you should check it out!
