Blasphemous act + boros reckoner = win!
Permalink
It certainly looks fast, but I can't help to wonder how you are bypassing the rather large amount of show and tell-based decks, and reanimate decks as well, since that stuff is quite populare these times? I play goblins, and have had to adapt against these decks for quite a while! I'snt anyone playing them in your area?
Blasphemous act is a swell card. In most formats there are creatures enough to make it work, but if you want to kickstart it, get some forbidden orchards. If you want a lightweight cardcost to combo with it, try out mogg maniac, which is great stuff with the act. I play it in my own goblindeck, alongside with gempalm incinerator, which makes the two cards extra fun when I meet other goblin-decks. If you ever splash black, try out mogg maniac with fire covenant = turn 3 kill.
Yeah, I agree on wall of blood, since it both supports dreadnought and fling! I use wall of blood with ragged veins, which may also be used in your deck...
A goblindeck with less matrons! I agree. I run 0 matrons and have a lot of fun! I am however quite worried by the lack of gempalm incinerator! Against aggro, it is vital that your lackey can slip through any blockers, especially at turn 2, I assume that this is the function of goblin grenade, but gempalm can't be countered... In my own deck I succesfully use mogg maniac, gempalm incinerator and blasphemous act, and the whole setup is wonderfull. Maniac punishes the opponent for attacking with large things, blasphemous act sweeps the board and kill the opponent if the maniac is in play. Gempalm incinerator can either be used to let lackey slip through, or hit the maniac when you have enough goblins in play, or when you play against goblins and have the maniac. I have had fun when opponents attacked with piledriver and a mass of goblins, and then I æthervial mogg maniac into play! Keep working on that nice unorthodox goblin-deck ;) p.s. Click my name and track down my goblindeck for inspiration. I play it in legacy! Got 9 points last time.
You will need to decide how much to focus on the bird, and how much you want to focus on reanimation! Opponents will be able to counter your reanimation plan or foil it with gravehate, so the obvious "use" of the bird is to mill a big one and hit for a lot of damage. That means the bird has to be protected. Use cavern of souls to do that, or try to make the deck into a hybrid of reanimate and sneakattack :) You may want to protect the bird with more than just cavern of souls. It's a far streetch, but you could try out æther vial (Which for 8+ turns also can put a big one into play) or even vexing shusher, which will need green mana, letting you include worldly tutor. Worldly tutor could also just fit into your current design with some manatweaking, and could just replace brainstorm!
Chronic flooding must go. I've tested it a lot, and without any means to tap lands (Or at least destroy them) it will mill 0.2 cards on an average against a deck with only 18 lands. Either that or you are facing someone who can't play magic. You might want to get 4 glimpse the unthinkable and 4 breaking//entering or, if your meta has many fetchlands, get archive trap.
Well, no problem, but for some reason, theres still denial of access?! And here I thought we were best friends :..(
Well, that's nice and all, but you forgot to click the public button, because access was denied to me when I looked at it, either that, or I said something bad :D
Oh, I'm not that good with MUD, but I can tell you that in legacy, they always just stick to 1 academy ruins in main and none in the sideboard. 1 in total. I have seen a more myrbased deck, but it was a tezzeret-deck at heart. But you could study some legacy tezzeret and mud decks and try to make a hybrid with these two and the parts of your own deck.
If you have problems with counterspells, leyline of sanctity and evil white pro-red creatures, you should consider having a look at my elemental-burn deck:
Use more elementals and put cavern of souls and/or vexing shusher into the deck against counterspells. I use sulfur elemental, sudden shock and volcanic outfall for the same reason. I also fear leyline of sanctity, so I play flamebreak and slagstorm against that concept. Constantly sweeping the board will also make unearthers work very well, so consider hell's thunder as well.
There's enough elementals in this deck to try out cavern of souls!
hell's thunder, sulfur elemental, and cavern of souls/vexing shusher if they ain't too expensive!
Try the same deck with cavern of souls and sulfur elemental
Two major threats against modern-burn are: 1: conterspells. I use vexing shusher, spark elemental, hellspark elemental, hell's thunder, sulfur elemental, cavern of souls, sudden shock and volcanic fallout. 2: They board in leyline of sanctity. I use volcanic fallout, flamebreak, and slagstorm. (Most of it in mainboard)
Hey there MUKTOL, I'm trying to build an elemental burndeck in modern. Consider cavern of souls and vexing shusher to protect your elementals. In modern there are three major hinderings against burn: (Notice that I play 22 lands to support my 3cc's) 1 counterspells, against which I use, cavern of souls, vexing shusher, sudden shock, sulfur elemental and volcanic fallout. In sb I consider combust against U/W angel-decks. Also I run hellspark elemental and hell's thunder. 2 pro red critters, where sulfur elemental is a nice solution. 3 they board in leyline of sanctity, and I use volcanic fallout, slagstorm, flamebreak, and other non-targeting spells. Overall the last thing a deck like this needs, is something to take care of enchantments against creatures, which might be solved by more burn and less critters or some enchanmentremoval of some sort!
Taking a break with legacy-mill! sneakshow, omnishow, dreamshow, reanimate, tin-fins, hivemind, elfcombo and even an enchantress deck with emrakul in it is just over the top for me, so I'm shutting it down intil the meta gets rid of emrakul.
MURSH hit's the nail pretty hard. You need stuff that costs less and removes other stuff fast. smallpox, Thoughtseize, innocent blood are also on most pox-lists. If you want "mill" to take their library away, you can use mesmeric orb, though it will be less efficient if you destroy their lands since they will sac the tapped ones first. If you use the orb keep your creature movement at a minimum, only attacking with exactly the neccessary number of creatures to emty their hand each turn. Preferrably this will be 1 attacking creature only...
