Fast & Furious... :) Brimstone Volley doesn't go well with Pillar... Bump is a shi.ty card... I'd drop it... I'd play the Noble in the sideboards... Rancor with the Flaier is awesome!.. :) Good work, man!.. Make some sideboards!..

True... ...those spells wich exiles permanents, or get them back into my hand, buttom of library, or top of library could really mass the flow up... ...though, I've made this deck directly with a little higher mana cost, so I'd have potential finishers in my hand, when needed... :) That's why I have 2 more Thrag & 1 more Olivia in the sideboards... I have Golgari Charm for Detention Sphere, Oblivion Ring, Arrest, Encrust, Pacifism & Supreme Verdict(regenerate)... ...but also for mana creatures & small tokens as well... I might need to run 4 of it... With Abrupt Decay, I could also eleminate Detention Sphere & it's likes... I have Slaughter Games as well... ...I can exile finishers &/or troublesome mass removal spells... What left that could mean a little trouble are Find Hunter, Dungeon Geists & Angel of Serenety... I could eleminate theese by any of my removal spells, except with Decay, I can only kill the Hunter... :) ...though, you are basically right... ...this decks weakness is W/U... ...1 more thing... "Haste" is great against control decks... If the opponent has no instant removal in hand, that could stop more, than 1 creatures at a turn, than if I have a creature on board & play Mangler, or Aristocrat, I'll strike in with at least 1 creature... :) Rancor would be a nice idea here, since I play both Gravecrawler & Thragtusk... ...but I donno' how I could find space for it... ...it's not nesesary tho... 1 more Vraska would be nice, but what could I take out?..
Sure I can help!.. :) If you populate the token of Geist, the "copy" won't get exiled... The token itselfe doesn't has "exile at the beggining of the next end step" in it's text, 'cuz it's only an order for on original token... There isn't any function for private massages on this site, but I have an idea... If you make a deck, it won't appear to anyone, except on your profile, until you publish it by confirming, that it is a "finished deck"("work in progress" changed to "finished deck")... You can send me that deck, or conversation on any of my decks... Just post a link & we can change ideas!.. :)
I'm convinced... :) Everyone suggested the same option, who has replied... THX!..
Yep... U'll see your deck now around the right side of the front page... ...about on top...
Good!.. ... Wellcome on the site!.. ... :) U have made the deck, but you haven't published it... You have to confirm, that it's a finished deck... I'm checking... :)
They will have their way... ...& I will have mine... :) I know for a fact, that I'm doing it better... ...for this deck at least... Index is assisting even the instant draw spells... ...you know when to draw a 2nd card in a turn without drawing into a miracle... This deck is highly different than what the pro-s play, so the need of cards is different as well... Think about this: Hayne won a pro - tour with a deck that could be beaten by a single Surgical Extruction, or Memoricide that time... He wasn't prepared for quite some things... ...& he's a pro... I'd like to show you the deck I ran most of the time, in the previous standard period... It was inspired by Hayne's Halleluyah, however it's highly different... It has won me 12 FNM-s in 5 different locations of 2 different countries (no game-loss in first 7 FNM-s) & a Grand Prix in Austria... :) You might have seen it before... ...U/W/R/G Miracle control("Havenfire"): http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=343423
Grats for the tournament wins!.. :) This deck is truely well rounded... I think I gonna' run my R/U/W control on friday, rather than my Grixis, wich has won an FNM already, as my friend toke it to another location... :) I'm sure, my new deck would work great... ...hope I won't lose with this1, 'cuz I feel like this is my yet best standard deck... I'd like to show you the deck I've played most in the previous standard period... It won me 12 FNM - s in 5 different locations of 2 different countries & a Grand Prix in Austria... I haven't lost a game in the first 7 FNM - s... :) Until now, it was unquestionably my best standard deck ever... U/W/R/G Miracle control("Havenfire"): http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=343423
Thanks!.. :) This deck has won an FNM already, so I consider using it again... ...but at the moment, I think I'm gonna' run my R/U/W control...
Very nice!.. As soon as you get the 4 Steam Vents, it's gonna' be stabil as well... The Guildgate is just wack itselfe & could block off Sulfur in the early game... Until you get the shocklands, I suggest you use Evolving Wilds instead of the Gate, 'cuz at least Sulfur comes untapped on it... Drop Looting!.. ...it's not too lucky to discard in this deck... ...if not Think Twice, or the other Looting... I'd add 2 Talrand's invocation... For sideboards: 3x Dissipate, 3x Tomrod's Crypt, 3x Judge's Familiar, 2x Dryad Militant, 3x Mizzium Skin, 1x Snapcaster Mage... I'd use 1 less Mountain & 1 more Island... Use Bonfire istead of Devil's Play!.. I have 2 decks I consider using this friday... ...feedback would be nice on wich would you pick to run on FNM... ...your opinion & suggestions are wellcome!.. :) Grixis control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=391163 R/U/W control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469&DeckCommentID=300015
I need Index to make both my draw & miracle spells much - much effective... It's essential... I could drop maximum 1 sweep... ...May be for 1 Tamiyo... ...but not for sure... Tamiyo is awesome with Feeling of Dread...
Thanx!.. :) Augur Spree is also good as a finisher - assist... ...'cuz I can boost Niv, Hellkite, or a charged Olivia with it... Plus 4 damage is quite a game... :) Of course, I need to look out for burn & -/- spells, when I use it as a boost... It's also good to eleminate creatures, like Predator Ooze.. ...& 2 could even take out Avacyn... :) That is a multifunctional, highly effective card!.. The only thing I can think now on changing is having 3 Injunction rather than 4 & play 1 more Rift, or 1 Tragic Slip, or may be a 2nd Jace... What do you think of this?..
I saw the title... ...I figured, that it's gonna' be you... :)) I'd drop Frostborn for 3 Delver & a 3rd Snapcaster... This would be fun to play!.. :)
Pretty good!.. I'd drop Killing Wave, 1 Ring & 1 Slip... ...than put in 4 Doomed Traveler... Play 22 lands total!.. ...drop 2 Evolvong Wilds & 1 Vault, than insert 1 more Swamp!.. Use 2 Sign in Blood!.. For sideboards: 3x Rest in Peace, 3x Murder, 4x Judge's Familiar, 3x Rootborn Defences, 2x Sundering Growth... With theese changes & sideboards, your deck should do fine... :) I have 2 decks I consider using this friday... ...feedback would be nice on wich would you pick to run on FNM... ...feel free to share your opinion &/or suggestion(s)!.. :) Grixis control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=391163 R/U/W control: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=399469
Fair... Drop Eyes in the Skies!.. I'd also drop Wayfaring Temple, unless you add Rancor... I think you should replace Skies with Rancor... ...& Growing Ranks, Blessing & 1 Armada Wurm with 3 Intangible Virtue & 2 Thragtusk... I'd use only 1 Trostani & add a 3rd Thragtusk... ...he is also amazing with Rancor!.. :) With the mana base you run, it's not stabil to play more than 1 Trostani... I'd drop 1 Grove of the Guardian, than add 1 more Temple Garden & by dropping 1 Plains, adding a 4th Garden... For sideboards, use a 4th Thragtusk, 3 Nevermore, 3 Sundering Growth, 3 Rest in Peace, 3 Judge's Familiar & 2 Dryad Militant!.. ...or some like that... :) I have 2 decks I consider using next friday on FNM... ...I'd like to "hear" your opinion on both & that wich would you pick to run...

Thanks!.. :) Honestly, I haven't brought a single card individually... I have a huge collection of cards, so those, who play rather modern &/or legacy, than standard are trading with me all the time... Also, when a new set comes out, I alwayes buy a set discography(50 boosters) for the prize of 16... It costs 20.000 hungarian forints(about 92$) & I have a 20% discount at a store, so I pay 16.000 forints wich is only 74$... 50 booster packs for only 74$... I've got 4 Jace, Architect of Thoughts from that this month... ...& that itselfe values around 185$... :) I'm playing & building since November 1999(I was 9 at the time)... ...so I don't have problem getting cards... :)
Very nice, though I think you should add more of cards like Cyclonic Rift & Azorius Charm... Drop Syncopate!.. Drop 1 Jace!.. Add 2 more Rift & 2 more Charm!.. In sideboards, you wanted to add Angel of Seranity, I guess, but you accidently chose Angel of Salvation... :) Drop Adept from the sideboards & add 3 Necermore!.. Nice work overall!.. Please, check my Grixis & tell me if either U'd use it, or my R/U/W control on FNM!.. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=391163
What would your version be like?.. Will you run Pillar?.. I ran 3 in the sideboards originally, than only 2, than I realized, that I don't need it, since Zombie & "Undying" is not a threat... I have Terminus, Detention Sphere, Dissipate, Feeling of Dread, Cyclonic Rift, Azorius Charm & Rest in Peace to deal with zombie, "Undying" & other sort of grave decks... Cyclonic Rift & Azorius Charm is also a good combo with Dissipate & Nevermore... :) Nevermore is basically for Slaughter Games... ...but I can have 5 types of finishers in my deck at once, so it's not a big threat anyway... May be if I've got hit by 3 or 4 of it... ...but I can still win from there... :) Will you run Jace, Architect of Thoughts &/or Tamiyo?.. Will you play Izzet Charm?..
I love the basic idea!.. Tho, here are the things I'd change here: ...Bonfire instead of Devil's Play... ...Dissipate instead of Cancel... ...Steam Vents instead of the Guildgate... ...Play 22 lands total... ...Drop Hypersonic... ...1 more Chain Devils... ...2 Shearing Spear... Drop the Chemister from the sides!.. Add some Tomrod's Crypt, Electrickery, etc.!.. Please, check the 2 decks I consider using this friday on FNM & tell me whatcha' think, if you have the time!..

You should run Scapeshift instead of Realms... U should use only Ravnica shock lands, mountain & fetch lands... I like the Titan... ...but use only 3 of it!.. You don't need the Bird... You need to add blue & draw spells to get Valakut & to fasten your game, 'cuz fast aggro & token decks would take you down, before you can score the win... ...so make this R/G/U & add counters to the sideboards!.. For draw spells I suggest 2-3 Elertrolize, some Serum Visions, Coiling Oracle, Index is also good... I remember playing the finals of an FNM 2 years ago, when Valakut was standard legal... I ran Jund & my opponent an R/G/U Valakut deck... Noboddy was prepared for Valakut, but me... ...so I've had Thought Hemmorage among my sideboards & Exiled Scapeshift twice to win the tournament... Of course, he played counters, but not enough & he couldn't alwayes keep mana to play tham... :) If you have the time, please, check the 2 decks I consider using this friday & tell me whatcha' think!..
