I've been testing this deck, and I've really been liking it. Wastelands are unnecessary, but I think treetop village is very good in here. Other option is using groves and playing fires in the...
I'm looking forward to participating.
My wishlist:
EDH foils with the old layout (so Onslaught block and earlier), including playable FNM/judge foils
examples - foil Hanna, Ship's Navigator...
Noble: Tolarian Academy
Uncommons: 4 Skullclamp
4 Myr Moonvessel
4 Vault Skirge
3 Etherium Sculptor
4 Cloud of Faeries
4 Disciple of the Vault
4 Ornithopter
Like the primer, I only have one point: Saying that sneak attack is faster than hive mind is not really true; although you can show and tell emrakul into play on turn one, hive mind can play hive...
Lingering souls is really annoying pre-board though, and with jace and quite a bit of removal I have found it to be pretty difficult pre-board. Post board it gets better.
I have been trying 3...
I would always play a slaughter pact main. Summoner's pact is easily paid for by maverick, whilst slaughter pact is both good at hitting their knight if you go for emrakul and getting rid of...
I played the deck to a 4-3 finish at GP Amsterdam and although it is a fine deck for your local tournament it doesn't work well enough at larger tournaments. Every top deck plays many cards (usually...
How would disrupt be instead of spell pierce / spell snare? It always cantrips but can be an enormous blowout by countering something when they're tapped out. This deck doesn't really care about most...
First off four-color aggro decks already have serious mana problems; in your deck this is exacerbated by focusing on one-drops and cards like daze, while not compensating by having mana fixing such...
Bloodbraid elf has haste which means it do something the turn it comes into play other than just playing a creature. It is also immediate card advantage and doesn't get run over by daze. And...
I would only drop it on turn one off tomb/city or later in the game when you can immediately cast the card as well. That means its never worse than a one for one.
Stifle is as effective against...
I have been working on this list. I have found bloodbraid elf to not be worth it - it stops you from playing zenith, is quite slow without mana accelerants and causes you to lose a lot of life from...
The main reason to keep it mono-red would be to play magus of the moon / blood moon with complete impunity. If you don't, then I don't really see the reason why you wouldn't add the blue splash for...
I see a lot of punishing fire right now and I wouldn't be comfortable having only four knight as creatures which never die to 2 damage (with scavenging ooze as long as they keep mana open for it you...
Punishing Fire + good sideboard cards would seem to be a solid reason to go for GBr, especially in a maverick/tempo infested metagame.
Your list only plays 3 red cards, which largely defeats the purpose of splashing red. If you play red you should at least play lightning bolt as well as basilisk collar to make use of your grim...
Kira/Phantasmal Image + Drogskol Captain is absolutely awesome though. If only not all awesome spirits were three drops (spectral procession, geist of saint traft).

First place at an event in Italy with 119 players.
Interesting is his use of arena instead of confidant with creature package (12...
I think its mainly a question of if you play mox diamond or not. If you play mox diamond, with hymn and dark confidant you have two great turn one plays off of mox. If you don't play mox, it might be...
I have been testing a version of spiral tide with red splash for the past in flames combo, with three past in flames in the main and sideboard (with two intuition), and two time spiral in the...
I have been testing the following deck as a variation of BGW junk, but in the current meta it has some strong points going for it. Mainly being able to play punishing fire, red elemental blast and...
I originally had 2 intuition main, but I eventually went with the show and tells as they gave me a different way to win (that wasn't weak to removal). Intuition is however very good with blighted...
I played the deck at GP Amsterdam to a 4-3 drop finish playing against SnT 2-1, UWR Blade 0-2, Thopterbalance 2-0, UW Blade 1-2, Zoo 2-0, Zoo 2-0 and Affinity 1-2. Deck was solid all day, but blade...
Is spell pierce better than flusterstorm in this deck? The main problem spells for me in testing have been other counters, removal, and discard against which flusterstorm is as good or better. If you...
