Hey everyone!
*
So I’ve been working on building a viable RWB Stoneforge deck for a while now but I’ve been finding it difficult. I still feel that it’s a viable idea but I think I could use some advice on card choices and the direction to take it. First off, here’s my current decklist:
*
4 Mother of Runes
4 Goblin Guide
3 Grim Lavamancer
4 Dark Confidant
4 Stoneforge Mystic
*
4 Aether Vial
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Chain Lightning
2 Path to Exile
3 Inquisition of Kozilek
2 Thoughtseize
1 Batterskull
1 Umezawa’s Jitte
*
4 Marsh Flats
4 Arid Mesa
4 Scalding Tarn
1 Badlands
1 Plateau
1 Scrubland
2 Mountain
2 Plains
1 Swamp
*
SIDEBOARD:
4 Tormod’s Crypt
3 Red Elemental Blast
2 Vindicate
2 Duress
2 Perish
1 Manriki-Guari
1 Sword of Feast and Famine
*
The idea is relatively simple. The deck revolves around playing incredibly efficient creatures then protecting them with stuff like Mom, Vial, and Inquisition/Thoughtseize. Burn spells act as removal and damage to the face when necessary. I think it could do well against control/counter matchups due to Vial and Stoneforge being able to cheat things into play. Here are some of the other possible inclusions to the deck:
*
--Kitchen Finks: *********** would be an EXCELLENT inclusion to add if it wasn’t for 1WW
--Rakdos Cackler: ******** seems just like a really crappy Goblin Guide
--Figure of Destiny: ******* I love this card but three colors makes it tough to level him up
--Jotun Grunt: ************** WW is tough for this deck
--Vexing Devil: ************* seems more at home in a straight burn deck, rather than RWB
--Phyrexian Revoker: **** could be really good, but I’m unsure about it in this meta
--Tidehollow Sculler:****** another possible great choice IMO
--Lightning Helix: ********** I love this card but I’d rather take Chain Lightning
--Disenchant: *************** faster than Vindicate but less versatile
--Smash to Smithereens: fits the pseudo-burn theme pretty well
--Ethersworn Canonist:** It’s good against combo but so is Inquisition/Thoughtseize/Duress
*
All-in-all, I’m liking this deck’s capabilities and potential. It requires much more testing but I see the deck as having a lot of positive matchups. I’d love to get some feedback and ideas on this deck. Thanks for reading!
