YO!.. 1st..: We both know U need to get Steam Vents, 'cuz the Guildgate is horrible... It is bad for the M13 dual lands... ...I'd play 4 Evolving Wilds instead, 'cuz at least those lands will enter untapped... Of course, only until you get 3-4 Steam... Drop Rakdos's Return, Frostburn, Dethrite & the Demon!.. Trust me!.. Get 2-3 more Dreadbore, 1 more Snapcaster & play some Auger Spree, since you have creatures you can boost with it & it's still good for removal... Play Guttersnipe in the main deck!.. If U have Olivia Voldaren somewhere, or if U can get it, than play 2-3 copies of it, or at least as sideboard!.. I'd drop the Keyrune... Adjust the mana base after the changes!.. Hope U have the land arzenal for that... Drop Dispel, Flux & Cremate from the sideboards!.. Add 2 more Rakdos Charm & may be 2-3 Electrickery for small tokens & mana creatures....... Here is my Izzet - Goblin/spells deck, if U R interested: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668
YO!.. This is a creative idea!.. The Dryad will get quite some counters, when U play the Izzet creatures & Azorius Charm, but won't get any with Travel & Instincts... ...no matter the flashback cost contains other color of mana, the card stayes green... The deck is still pretty effective it seems, but I doubt U've got any permanent finishers... Your deck is fast, but it's hard to score a win against an opponent, who playes many removal, or lot's of tokens, or both... May be with Artful Dodge, U can finish the game... Make sideboards!.. Check my R/U Goblin/spells deck, if U R interested: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668
Essence Backlash is a sideboard type of card & I suggest U use 2 in your sideboard... Put Dissipate in your sideboards & use Mana Leak in the main!.. The Electromancer is only good for your 4 Overload spells... Use only 3 of it & drop 1 Mizzium Skin!.. Use 4 Wee!.. I suggest some Pillar of Flame for the sideboards... ...Tomrod's Crypt may be... ...Pyroclasm, or Electrickery... If U have the time & interest, check my standard, R/U Goblin/spells deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668
Counterflux ain' that good... Use Dissipate instead!.. I'd use 2 Dissipate, 2 Syncopate & 4 Izzet Charm total as counters... Cyclonic Rift instead of Unsummon... More Mortars!.. Drop Essence Backlash, or put it in the sideboards!.. Drop Augur & get 1 more Talrand!.. Drop the Chainwalker, it's trash!.. Drop the Guildgate & get some better dual lands!.. U gonna' need more red mana after the changes... Use 2 more Dragon!.. Play 2-3 Snapcaster Mages!.. In sideboards, use Electrickery against ramp & small tokens... ...Tomrod's Crypt & stuff... If U have the time & interest, check my R/U, standard Goblin/spells deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668
No matter U play 24 lands... ...the curve is horrible... If U play many miracles, U need to play Index... Thought Scour was good for miracles, unitl Revoke Existence has gone... This is not a "horde" deck... At least, drop 1 Geist, 2 Mastery & 1 Dissipate for 4 Index!.. Make sideboards!.. Use Rest in Peace, Negate/Syncopate, Judges Familiar, Dryad Militant, Paraselane, may be Devestation Tide... If U have the time & interest, check my R/U Goblin/spells deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668
I kinda' like Rewind with the Electromancer... Put Negate in the sideboards & use Dissipate/Syncopate in the main deck... I'd use Mizzium Mortars rather than inspiration here... Change 1 Spear for a 3rd Mortars as well!.. Drop the Snapcaster, it's not worth in this deck!.. Play 2 Hypersonic Dragon, or Thundermaw Hellkite instead!.. Drop Altas, it's useless!.. Put in 3 Pillar of Flame!.. In sideboards, use 3 Negate, 3 Electrickery, a 4th Mortars, a 4th Pillar, 3 Judge's Familiar, a 4th Skin & 3 Tomrod's Crypt!.. If U have the time & interest, check out my R/U Goblin - spells deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668
Well put togeather!.. It is true, that at a tournament, U'd be blocked up by the sideboards of any player & your hand would become useless... ...still, this deck looks good & would be fun to play...
The Captain is good & it could be untapped by playing Snapcaster... Tho', if I spend mana to cast Snap & to flashback a spell, I probably won't have enough left to use the Captain's ability for a 2nd time in that turn... Madscientist... Right on the "Mark"!.. :) I'm now highly considering that card, since it's good for many perpouses & very nice with Krenko!..
I ment to populate the angel & keep the copy, not the original... ...& the copy will be untapped... Tho Parallel Lives brings the copy in the situation, that the original is in... Imagine: two 4/4 flying attacking with the Geist, or four, if I have two Parallel... :) 4th turn - boom!!!!...
I've figured what does it mean at the time I was 1st looking at it... O D= old di.k.... The point is, it is not in the official web shorting collection... I only use those, wich are in there... Saying that I'm a hypocrit makes no sense... What I've said did not contain any contridiction... You just twist my words into some other meaning, like a weak journelist... U should understand theese things, because it figures, that your 1st language is english... Mine is Hungarian... Sorry for sayin', but you are a massive, ignorant coala... It is the truth, no matter what you would say to that, or what you belive... Being a musician doesn't make you a true artist... You have to be that type of person... That 1 out of 5 million, who has individual talent, ambition & a clear view of reality... Sorry for all the bad things I'm saying, but they are all true and you gave me no choise, but to point them out... It's a bad habit of mine: I never let an argument go, until it's settled, even if it's without meaning... PEACEnRESPECT!..
I rather use Snapcaster, than spells with flashback... The 2 doesn't go well togeather... This is not strictly a goblin deck, but a spell based deck with some goblin tribal impact that makes it unique & a little harder to prepare for... I control the board pretty much & usually have many creatures out... ...can recover after a mass removal, if I couldn't counter it... ...& I can also boost my creatures by some of my spells... I think, there is much I can do with this deck & it's hanging right there with my tournament decks... :)
Verdict won't be adventagous with this many creatures... The Herald is not good in a competative circle... Would be good for late game sometimes, but not worth... Have U noticed how good Rootborn is with the Geist??... U can keep a 4/4 Angel & Geist won't die by the blocking creature... I'm keep thinking on how to improove this...
Drop Presence, Blessing, Growing Ranks, Rebirth, 1 Seance, 2 Doomsayer, Trostani & Temple!.. Add a 3rd Keeper, 4 Blood Artist, Some removal, since U play morbid by the Hugh Priest... ...Parallel Lives (3) & about 3 Armada Wurm... Drop Townsfolk & Devotion from the sides & add some Rest in Peace & Dryad Militant!.. If U have the time & interest... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=394491 :)
I ment Swift Justice to remove, not Reward... :)
YO! ...by the way... Check (R/U - Goblin, standard): http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395668
Looking good, but where is Increasing whatever the name is??!.. That scary mill sorcery card with flashback... Play 4 Scour!.. Dream Twist is a sh.t card... ...drop it!.. Use only 3 Delver!.. 2 Rock is enough, U can put more in the sideboards, if U wish, but I wouldn't suggest... Use 4 Shrinker & 4 Phantasm!.. Drop Revord from the sides & Tomrod's crypt as well!.. Add Rest in Peace, Dissipate/Syncopate &/or Negate may be... This deck is near tournament quality... Just drop the Guildgate!!!!....... It blocks up Fortress a lil' bit & U don't need that many nonebasic... May be use 1-2 Evolving Wilds instead... ...way better... I'd play 21 lands in this... Anywayes... I kinda' like this deck... It's quite unique for a mill... :)
THX for the suggestion, but U clearly just toke a quick look at the deck... This deck has devastated mill decks by Slaughter Games, Izzet Charm & Dissipate... The giant is not a bad card, but the Haste & the other ability of Thundermaw makes it an incredible vinner... When I play it, he, Olivia & Niv will all strike in, if the opponent doesn't have an instant answere & he/she won't have for all... I'd never use the giant for a tournament deck...
Olaf... I'll be honest... The curve is horrible... The slime is a very good idea tho... Drop 1 Closet, 1 Navigator & all Serenity!.. Add 2 Thragtusk. 1 Restoration, 1 Vine & 1 Ghostly Flickery... In main deck, I'd use Find Hunter instead of Oblivion Ring & 3 total... Put 1 Sphere in the sides along with the 2 Ring!.. Use Rest in Peace in the sideboards along with Dissipate/Syncopate, Negate, Dryad Militant & Judges Familiar!.. This deck is not yet tournament quality...
Ok... I can see now, that you, Dagbaker, are 1 of few young people, who doesn't know the official web shortings, or you are over 50... I understand & that's fine... O & D doesn't stand for anything... "U", "R", "C" & stuff, plus numbers instead of letters does stand for some meaning & almost everyboddy understands it... When you communicate on web, you expect the others to understand theese shortings... ...& I'm sure, you have also understood me... ...you just can't make a stabil point from this point on, so you pretend you couldn't understand the last reply I wrote... ...but remember this: "Art is not grammer... ...& those who does not do art can not judge, rate or understand it's way, value & level..."
