most people in a tournament setting are willing to give up game one of a match to a fringe deck. they tune their main deck to have a wider variety of answers to the metagame they expect, and then add sideboard cards to try to hedge against the oddball matchups or the matchups they know they struggle with. until Theros, there wasnt much need for standard decks to run mainboard enchantment hate, when cards like Abrupt Decay hit such a wide spectrum of things.

I run it in a Maze's End EDH deck, and I found out today that it works GREAT with Elspeth, Sun's Champion and Assemble the Legion...lol..Knight Captain is fast becoming a favorite of mine.
do that. I hope you do well. I still have mine sleeved up, and am thinking about playing it tomorrow. I am trying to get my 4C Gifts list going too, though, so who knows.
Knight Captain plays defense, allowing you to commit all your guys to attacking, with the fog effect to keep you from dying.
Im actually glad you said that Zak. I didnt want to point out exactly why it was bad, but you hit it on the head. Giving your opponent a choice is almost always the wrong play in any situation. As for Landfall, you run 8 fetches. hold a couple back to crack on their turn. RW Burn is not the same as R Burn. this list is more of a card interaction/finesse list, whereas R Burn just trys to end the game.
I stated an opinion of a card, and you downvoted it and got butthurt. control yourself, and this likely wont happen. I dont care about who you are, or who you play with, but when someone is building a deck that I have a great deal of knowledge about, and you try to talk to me like I dont know what Im talking about, youre going to get treated like this. Your comments are not helpful to a competitive deckbuilding process, as we discussed in the UG infect deck. trying to help is one thing, but your comment wasnt even constructive. you just said "Vexing Devil" like that says it all. you treated it like the card is nothing but upside, and left it at that. try explaining why you think a card fits. maybe a conversation will start, instead of an argument. as for you being a kid, im willing to bet you are, based solely on this kind of behavior, and the fact that youre comments have references to people being "at least two years older than" you or some shit. And I promise you, my rep on here matters very little to me, so you can save the downvotes. or dont. whatever.
1) your opinion makes the deck worse2) it was you, and the deck is no longer viewable. UG Infect, presumably taken down because the "deck creator" got called out for posting a netdeck. you wanted to take out one of the best cards, because you dont understand how the game works, apparently.3) youre actually wrong (surprise, surprise) about Warleader's Helix, it was going to be a 1 main/1 board but got cut at the last minute, and I found myself in a few situations at the GP where I would have liked to have a 4 drop to get over the Eidolon triggers. and its not even close to Lightning Helix on Power Level. Young Pyromancer doesnt fit in this deck because this deck isnt creature based, and doesnt want to attack. Guttersnipe is a trash card, and it makes my head hurt th try to figure out why people constantly suggest it for burn decks. its bad. you play it on turn 3, they kill it. congrats, you just timewalked yourself because you build bad decks. Maybe while we are at it, we can throw in some Spark Troopers and Boros Battlemages, huh? theyre in the right colors, and technically could be cast in this deck, so why not? why build a deck with a plan, when you can just jam red and white things into one and hope for the best?
are we going to do this again? Im kind of sick of having this same interaction with you. This list is here because Zaklax asked me for advice on his burn deck, and instead of revamping that one because my changes were so sweeping, he just put what I had to say in another deck. THIS deck, youll notice is missing two mainboard cards. if you remove one Skullcrack, and add 3 Searing Blaze to this list, it is the EXACT list (mainboard, not sideboard) that I top 64'd GP Minneapolis with. We have established that you are, at best, a casual modern player, and as such, offer little actual value in your advice for the competitive side of the game. I playtested extensively with burn lists, even including Vexing Devil. the card is horrible in this list, and belongs in a Mono Red burn list, where you have to play bad creatures like Vexing Devil and Spark Elemental because you dont have enough burn spells to fill the gaps. RW Burn is NOT Mono Red Burn, and does not want the same cards. We can argue Modern all day, kid, but disliking my comments immediately doesnt make you any less wrong.
is terrible
looks fine, but I think Reckoner is too cute. makes you put your strategy on hold for a turn to maybe stop them from attacking until they path him....worth a shot, but I wouldnt be surprised if it underwhelms.
I agree that decks need answers to artifacts and enchantments, and that he should make a sideboard, I disagree, however, that Sundering Growth should be in it. There is potential for that one token made could be pretty big, but most likely, ittl just be another 1/1, and I dont think that the card cuts it in that case, when there are options like Wear//Tear for 1 mana, or Krosan Grip, which cannot be countered for one more mana, or even things that straight up exile them. Sundering Growth is better for decks that want to make more Wurm tokens, or Centuar tokens, or other fatties, where one can change the boardstate enough to matter. Good suggestion, but Modern decks these days demand the best answers, and I dont believe Sundering Growth is it.
Oh No........-2 Ball Lightning-4 Vexing Devil-4 Shard Volley-4 Pillar of Flame-1 Thunderous Wrath-3 Mountain-2 Blood Moon (to the board)-1 Lavamancer+1 Plains+3 Skullcrack+4 Sacred Foundry+4 Lightning Helix+4 Boros CHarm+2 Magma Jet+3 Searing BlazeAdding white allows you to run a TON of hate in your sideboard. Rest in Peace, Stony Silence, Leyline of Sanctity, Suppression Field, Path to Exile( for creatures you cant burn out, and Wurmcoil Engine, which you just lose to)I think your SB should look like this:2 Leyline of Sanctity1 Leyline of Punishment2 Stony Silence2 Wear//Tear3 Path to Exile2 Rest in Peace2 Runed Halo (or Blood Moon)1 Torpor OrbIf you decide to run Blood Moon, you will want +2 Plains. This is very similar to my GP Minneapolis list, and I liked that one a lot. it looks like a lot to change, but the hard part is done, youre already running 8 fetches.
if it were me, I would take out Captain of the Watch and Cathar's Crusade. youre trying to win quickly, and while these cards are powerful, they both require somthing to happen to activate them, which adds at least a turn to their value.
Grey Merchant is the bane of the meta. Hexproof is the answer.....
tis true....
instead of boarding Pithing Needle, I think 3 Rootborn Defenses in the board are a better option. saves your team, and advances your boardstate.
because you have added nothing to this conversation, and are currently only here to troll.
because comments and likes mean literal nothing. You must be a kid. this seems like the kind of thing kids care about. like K/D on call of Duty and all that stuff. the point stands. contribute to the conversation, or go away.
lol the hot list? is that a thing people care about? You could try building good decks, and getting there that way, instead of begging for likes, like an internet hobo.
this is a place to help someone build a deck, not to shamelessly self promote yourself. contribute to the current discussion, or go away.
