    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    With 4 Faithless Lootings and Thought Scours, you can fill up your Graveyard super fast. Visions is often a Reach Through Mist with minor upsides, but I have never played more than one. I've always...

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    Using Revival well is what makes the deck tick, and I am more and more seeing the merits of Breeding Pool, considering how much life I am paying. (I once paid 17 life by turn three to kill my...

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    Remand + manamorphose + 2 Ascensions gets you to draw your whole deck, which then finds you the infinite mana, and infinite of any Spell combo. You are looking to assemble:

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    Ah! I thought I saw Lootings in the deck. The Lootings are some of the best cards in the deck, in my opinion. I would never cut them. 4 Looting, 1 Remand is fine, as Remand + Manamorphose is a...

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    I hope to shit that wasn't a troll post. <3

    That last slot can sometimes be difficult to fill, but it's often a main-decked sideboard-style card. I used to play 4 maindeck Pyromancer. They allow...

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    I've been on Esper Mentor for a while now. I might screw around with some UWR Ascension Mentor build. Stormout or just make a thousand guys.

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    MY DECK! <3 <3 <3

    Three things stand out to me here:

    1) The Breeding Pool does almost nothing. It's better as a Steam Vents.
    2) Cryptic, similarly, does nothing. You need 4 mana to cast it. If...

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    I think I intended to analyse that statement, but just sort of posted it.

    Is there a chance that Gifts is a G1 card, and is just significantly worse in G2?

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    Best decks in the format:

    BGx Midrange (Bad MU)
    Twin (Bad MU)
    Affinity (Coin flip)
    Burn (Suddenly, somehow, bad MU)

    We are actually no longer faster than burn, due to them only ever being...

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    Went 2-1 in a very poor turnout for Modern FNM yesterday. But it was Boxing Day so I can't say I expected much. The list I played:

    Draw Spells: 28
    4 Gitaxian Probe
    4 Serum Visions
    4 Sleight of...

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    Results based testing, yadda, yadda, but we had someone at a recent (ish) PTQ do it, and then did not do well. The meta's a little harsh towards fast combo at the moment, so they were up against the...

    You might be better off with 4 Twin, 4 Exarch, 2 Pestermite.

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    A word of warning; Dig Through Time has been underperforming massively. I may cut a pair for the Snaps out of the board, freeing up some room there. They never trigger the Ascension anyway, so only...

    Re: Pyromancer Ascension

    Epic Experiment with Seething Song is awful. You have to generate about. 8 mana, and it's much more prone to a Counterspell than any ither direction you could go.
