This looks very close to my own list, therefor I like it (with a few exceptions).

First of all: I'd play the 4th Petal over a 2nd Chrome Mox anytime all the time. It's card disadvantage and with 4...

Yeah, this could be a bummer. On the other hand: is it worse than Containment Priest at the same speed? Or R.I.P.?

If you want to play Careful Study over Faithless Looting, you are in the wrong thread. The mana base should never ever be an issue for B/R. The idea to bypass gy hate with Gambits and S & T is not...

So, did anyone try Grim Lavamancer? I stumbled over this list in a reddit thread about lavaman and obviously I was wrong about it (I still think it's not that good vs D&T though). I'd appreciate some...

For Dnt you'd rather go with Inkwell Leviathan or Archetype of Endurance.

I found the blog post: here

From my experience I can recommend the blue proactive sideboard plan for the reasons you mentioned. Bypassing the hate is way more straight forward than answering it and hoping to draw the right...

No, this was just an example for a card I'd try before considering Lavamancer against DnT. But it's obsolete anyway, because this is an okay MU imho, so I would rather try to improve other MUs.
...

DnT plays R.I.P, so Lavamancer is probably just a lonely goblin token. If you find yourself in a attrition war with DnT, you are most likely losing anyway. I'd rather jam Phyrexian Crusader, if...

It's a dead card against R.I.P. or Leylines of the Void. When I consider cards for SB, I'm looking for silver bullets or cards improving a certain match up. What do you have in mind to bring...

Good luck, Judas! :tongue:

Grid is a good sideboard option in reactive metas. It not only taxes countermagic, but hate like Surgicals, too.

I'll second using Cabal Therapy. I play it for almost a year and I can tell it is really good. It combos nice with Ashen Rider and in fringe situations it's even entomb'able. I wouldn't recommend to...

But the guy above my post obviously did. :wink:



I'd agree that it's not bad against Miracles in particular, but still: straight forward hexproof or shroud is still better against StP and/or...

Drawing cards while they combo off doesn't do anything for BR against Storm. Why would you waste a slot for them anyway? Storm is already one of our best match ups. It's probably not bad for UB or...

This would require more dedication in form of LEDs and so on. My mainboard is pretty stock, except of one Cabal Therapy instead of the 4th Collective Brutality and Ashen Rider instead of Tidespout...

Interesting list! What do you board for Pyromancer?

I've had some good results recently by utilizing a Burning Wish sideboard. It's relatively easy to board without diluting the main strategy too...

Please explain how it's more likely to ritual out sth. through a hatebear vs. cheating Elesh Norn onto the board. Apart from being screwed anyway when a bunch of hatebears are already sticking...

Iona is sometimes able to lock the opponent game 1. The same is true for Elesh against some decks, so it depends on the meta you expect to face. I prefer Elesh, because it's nice to have a board wipe...

I'd recommend to prepare for Leyline of the Void as well.

Yeah, good points. DRS increase will likely happen. But that's probably the next thing which gets the axe. I'm curious how the meta will shift.

Wizards just destroyed Miracles...

What stops this pile now?

Counting 59 cards maindeck. I assume there's one land missing? 12 lands is brave anyway :D

Edit: just found this pretty sweet list http://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=15077&d=291272&f=LE

The "worst" is meant in a way you most likely can't reanimate your own creatures because of Leylines. Instead you focus on reanimating the opponent's, if available. I'm sorry, if this didn't come out...

I find it generally difficult to board with this deck. I'm still in the progress of figuring out how to handle a prepared meta. As you said we have to sacrifice either parts of the combo or speed and...

I think they have a natural home in those lists because of some synergies, but I doubt this applies on BR. Our mana is too clunky for RR and Sin Prodder will most likely backfire more often than not....
