As soon As I saw Flamespeaker Adept It instantly popped into my head and I've been wanting to make it ever since.

I don't see the win condition here, you might wanna rethink how you are gonna kill them. This is only theoretical, and it might work in practise, but this is my opinion. Good luck :)

Yeah, I tend to agree with this. There's pretty limited burn, and the win con seems to be swinging in with an unblockable creature pumped with scry--something that can pretty easily be removed by Doom Blade, Azorious Charm, burn or whatever else. Someone could easily chump until they pull it off the board. Seems like you need a very solid plan B against burn, black decks and control decks. Thassa's Unblockable activated ability may be quite valuable in this deck, since you're banking on getting that pump dude through.

Yeah, Thassa is a good idea, and if you get the devotion, she herself becomes a win condition!

Err, was it really necessary to post this? This guy may be inexperienced, but why does he deserve insults instead of constructive criticism? If this is all you are going to say, then don't bother saying anything at all. >:(

I love it! Ive been wondering when someone would make a scry deck with flamespeaker.
Im worried about your mana though. It might get expensive scrying and buffing your flamespeaker might fizzle out too early in the game.


Pls comment on this deck! I need help!

I tried this kind of deck before. Even added Guttersnipe to make every instant/sorcery deal 2 dmg to opponents + draw mechanic + Thassa + burn spells. It didn't work that well.

I can point out some problems:
1) too slow
2) no draw mechanic (even you think you have scry, it's still now draw. 2 divinations are still not enough // oracle's is too expensive to cast early)
3) too few lands
4) too few creatures and they are quite vulnerable [any of them get 1 lightning strike = dead]

here is my deck list (after modification)
http://www.mtgvault.com/kuness/decks/fin-burning-scry-std/

note that my first version was
1) 4 flamespeaker
2) 22 lands
3) no divination
4) 2 dissolve
5) 4 aqueous form (this is the real problem...it's too slow, even it costs only U)

the win rate (in friendly matches tho) increased from about 40% to 70%
[tested with 2 kinds of decks: rakdos/discard deck, and white aggro knight indestructible]

I'm new in Magic too. I try to make myself better as well. If I miss something, please point me out too. appreciate every comment :)
I hope this helps you improve your deck.

Here is my new deck. Please check it out and comment :)

Had the same idea for the deck name :)
But i was concerned about this deck being viable, so in the end i've decided to not build it!

Anyway, just a couple suggestions:
- end of journey over lost in a lab
- spellheart chimera and guttersnipe over stormcaller
- bolt of keranos, costs 3 with a risky double RR (i would play 2 more divination and 2 izzet charm / lightning strike)
- oracle's inside, don't like the card...but it could make sense paired with blistercoil weird

Bye ;)
