...true, but my friend doesn't have the arsenal to make a better deck... ...I told him, that these colors are about the worst today, but he was stubborn, so I let him have it & helped him building it... In my city, there are 4 shops you can play at(2 average, 1 competative & 1 extreamly competative places)... ...he was playing at one of the average places, 'cuz I told him not to go with this deck where we usually gather... :) ...at the places I play, you can never know what you will play against, so it's pointless to change the deck according to what you've played against last time... ...I never go to the same place with the same deck 2 times in a row... :) ...though, I prepare my tournament decks well against every type of offence existing in standard, so it doesn't matter much.......

If you've red discription, this isn't my deck... ...my friend wanted to build a deck like this for his 1st FNM & I helped him making it... ...the deck is working & it is competative... ...the mana base couldn't be better for this combination of colors, you just haven't seen the deck in action, that's why you think, that 22 lands are not enough... ...the curve is ok... ...I have many cards with cmc 4-5, but I have a few draw spells & cheap cards, that I could operate with in the early game....... ...I agree, that the deck is not too good, but it's the best we could do using my friend's arsenal... ...I also agree with the typical comment stuff you are saying... ...they are amazingly childish & stupid as fck....... :)
I disagree with the relyability of Mortars... ...if you can make a stabil mana base, than you'll have no problem playing it's Overload... ...& it's also great for it's original cost.......
...mana problems could happen when you play a spell of cmc 2-4... ...Hellkite is cmc-5 & requires 2 red(that's nothing)... ...Armada Wurm is cmc-6, requires 2W & 2G/by the time I get 6 mana, I alwayes have those colors... ...besides, I alwayes make a mana base that's stabil enough to avoid these problems.......
...I use cavern to avoid counter spells, when I want to play a game-changing Silverheart, or Thragtusk... ...also good, when I lack the third green mana to play the Ooze... ...Peddler is also awesome with Tracker, so I'll put it in... :) (though, this is my friend's deck, but I'll convince him).......
The Sage is only worth for the Lunarch... ...so it's not worth to run overall... :) ...run 1 more Townsfolk & 2 Selesnya Keyrune instead (not a human, but good for ramp & resellient against wipes)... ...I'd put the Guile in the sideboard(if not completely out)... ...you need to play 1 more land & 1 more Fiend Hunter... Your sideboard is pointless... ...here is my idea for the sideboards: 3x Oblivion Ring, 2x Rest in Peace, 1x Rootborn Defences, 3x Thalia, 3x Devout Chaplain, 3x Selesnya Charm... ...you don't run much tokens, so I suggest you keep only 2 Virtue... ...take out 1 Stroke as well... ...add 2 Angelic Overseer, or Increasing Devotion!.. Good luck!..
...normally it would, but not with this mana base... ...no matter how many shock lands you play, if you have the same amount of mana of each color you'd have with having more shocks... ...the only problem you can experience with less shocks is having some M13 dual lands enter the battlefield tapped... ...but not too many times with this base....... ...I have 13 lands that could add green mana, 13 white & 12 red, plus 4 Keyrune & 4 Farseek... ...you know I can get Mountain with Farseek, if I seem to need one, dontcha'?.. :)
...not bad... I disagree with Infamy & I don't get it, why do many players run Connections in the sideboards... ...a sideboard card is supposed to aid the deck against certain type of spells/deck types....... Drop Infamy & 1 Diregraf Ghoul, than put in a 3rd Aristocrat & 3 Huntmaster of the Fells!..
...bad mana base?.. ...where??..... :) ...this is just an experiment & I've already seperated it.......
Thanks, but you have wondered far from this deck to another :) ... ...besides, I don't run any 6-olus mana cards, so Ranger's PAth would be pointless...
...& Rancor...
...I ment it's devastating with Wolfir Silverheart... :)
...sure... ...I will, but it's a fact, that it's not worth it to play curses... ...easy to deal with(enchantment destruction, that artifact, that destroyes all curses, counters, etc........
I have Abundent Growth for having the 3rd mana... ...I only have 6 out of 22 lands, that could not give green mana for the Ooze.......
1st: There is no point for having 17 lands that could produce red mana & only 11 blue... ...would be more stabil with 15-13... Lobber Crew is shitty... ...drop it!.. Essence Backlash is a sideboard card expecially against reanimator decks(counter Avacyn & deal 8 damage)... :) ...use creature boost spells, like Dynacharge and Teleportal(awesome with the Electromancer)... :) Annihaliting Fire is trash... ...run Pillars instead!.. ...make sideboards!.. ...Dissipate/Syncopate, Mizzium Skin, etc... ...here is my Izzet - Goblin/spells deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668 ...& if you have the time, my newest deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=407465
Why would you use 24 lands & Arbor Elf?.. ...your curve is ok... ...use 22 lands instead & keep the Elf!.. ...drop Revange & add 2 more SIlverheart!.. ...drop 1 Prey Upon & add 1 more Ooze!.. ...here is a deck wich is not 100% Fight Club, but I belive serves better as it: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=407465
-1 Judgment, -1 Monk, -1 Cloudshift, -3 Haunting... ...add 1 more Bloodline, 1 more Souls, 3 Vampire Nighthawk & 1 more Thragtusk!.. ...the way you've made the mana base is illogical... ...you have 15 lands that could add white mana wich is pointless, 'cuz you need 12-14 of each color you play to make a deck stabil... ...in this deck, you need 12 black, 12 green & 12 white... ...possible mana base: 4x Tample Garden, 4x Overgrown Tomb, 4x Isolated Chapel, 2x Woodland Cemetery, 2x Sunpetal Grove, 2x Swamp, 1x Forest, 2x Plains, 1x Vault of the Archangel, 2x Gavony Township...(24 lands/13G, 12W, 12B)....... ...I realize, that the only green card you play here is Thragtusk, so this suggested mana base is not for this deck, it's only a simple sablon for any 3 color decks you would make in the future... ...in this deck, you need 9-10 lnads that could add green mana... ...(or just drop that 1 forest I put there & replace it with a 2nd Vault, or some)....... Gather the Townsfolk will serve not as a sideboard... ...nor that 1 copy of the Peddler(expecially with the suggested Nighthawk in use)... ...Rest in Peace is a great sideboard card, so is Oblivion Ring &/or Find Hunter... I really like the theme of the deck!.. :) Check out some of my decks, if you have the time!.. ...here are my main tournament decks: Grixis Control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=391163 Bant Control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402458 French Control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469 B/G/U Vraska/Zombies/Unblockable: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=393748 ...here is my lil' sister's tournament deck we've made togesther: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=400186 ...my friend's deck, that we've made togeather: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=407465
I use Mizzium Mortars, rather than Spear...
...you really should take out Path & make this standard... ...I'd use Selesnya Charm, 'cuz it's a cheap removal against big creatures, could be a boost, or could also give you a token... -3 Plains, plus 3 Forest!.. ...I know you have double the white mana symbol, than green, but it's not stabil this way... ...15 land, that could produce white mana is enough(plus Cavern) and you need more than 10(plus Cavern) from green... ...I'd take out 1 Hamlet, 1 Silverblade & 1 Fog, than put in 3 Gather the Toensfolk... ...Rancor is about pointless as a sideboard... ...I'd use 3 Nevermore & 1 more Sigarda instead... ...I'd drop the Ring, it's not really good for this deck, since it's slow & you play more white, than green... ...I'd rather use Rancor, or Elite Inquisitor in the main deck... ...Rest in Peace also would be a nice sideboard card for this deck... :) Grats for front page & keep up your work! :) Here is a deck of mine, wich I think you'd enjoy to see... ...I've taken it to FNM once already, but since I've perficted it: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402458
I'm gonna' take out 1 Ooze, 1 Geist, 1 Huntmaster, 1 Tusk & 1 Hound... ...put in 3 Silverheart, a Bonfire & 1 Primal Hunter... ...Kajuata... ...you are not a fan of the Hound, but it's devastating with both Rancor & Tracker... ...this deck is 20% built around the Tracker...
