I played mono red God Stompy ( Maindeck Here ) ... my board ended up being 4 x Faerie Macabre, 4 x Crypt, 4 x Smash to Smithereens, 3 x Pyrokinesis. I overloaded on grave hate because I hate Griselbrand and the retarded people who think reanimating him is a fun and interactive game of magic. I was also a little soft to Punishing Fire with Hero being a big part of my dude base.
Round 1: Delver Burn.
I am on the draw. He goes fetch non basic Delver go. I land Chalice 1. He never resolves another spell and even a natural flipped delver getting me to like 7 doesn't get me. I bait Force with God, and Guerrilla Tactics the Insect.
I mulligan to 6. I bolt myself with Ancient Tomb for at least 8. Again naturally flipped delver beats on me along with a Guide. I get bolted 3 or 4 times. Super cool.
I'm on the play and I mulligan to 6 trying to find chalice. I get pressured into a Daze with Goblin Guide beating on me. Again I take 8-10 from my own Ancient Tomb and get double bolted to end the game.
Round 2: UB Tezzerstaxx.
I'm on the play and I get a fast Blood Moon. This keeps him off recurring Wasteland with his Crucible. He eventually makes it a 5/5 and I crash in with Hero of Oxid Ridge. He blocks and I tactics his Juzam of Worlds, and tactics Tezz. I land a Koth eventually and beat with a Mountain eventually using some tricks to net a mana and produce a beetleback. I finish off by getting an emblem.
Game two I Blood Moon fast again. He gets Strix going but little else, eventually a Sword of the Meek and a Tangle Wire are in play. He top decks an awful lot of land and when I emerge from the Wire I slam Hero and Beetleback off some Seething Songs. Drawing 2 of my Smash to Smithereen's seals this one as he took some early Tomb damage.
Having piles of haste guys is supreme against planeswalkers, he got the wire off Tezzeret but I just raped his Tezz on the pass back with Hero of Oxid Ridge (which I forgot can't even be blocked by Strix).
Round 3: The Not Very Epic Storm
I'm on the draw. He ponders and passes. I go Chalice 1. Enjoy. Grey Ogre does the job. I think I also Blood Moon here to put the nail in the coffin.
I'm on the draw. He ends up digging out of Chalice 1, Chalice 0 by decaying Chalice 1 and Chaining the one on 0. I couldn't follow up with a threats fast enough. Ad Nauseum follows.
Finally on the play Chalice 0, Chalice 1 go. Oh and I have this Blood Moon man. Oh and I have an insane haste man. Storm decks with garbage mana bases seem weak against the power of God.
Round 4: TNN Blade
I'm on the draw. I land chalice 1. He stoneforged up something. On my second turn I Seething Song into Stormbreath Dragon and 4 him. I untap and bash again. I tactics his SFM in response to an equip. He gets TNN but double seething song into 7/7 + storm seeker your face. Can't remember whether he had TNN this match. I don't think it matters as Stormbreath is just a giant studded dildo against u/w stoneblade.
I board in a couple of Pyrokinesis so I can tap out a little more. I land Chalice again. He gets an SFM, and Batterskull. I tactics his SFM. I bait a Force then land god. He lands Jace and doesn't understand what's about to happen. He Brainstorms and passes. I cast Beetleback Chief and 4 his $100 planeswalker. I shock him. I pass and he has to hardcast the Batterskull. Next turn I land Hero of Oxid Ridge and Shock him. I Pyrokinesis the Germ and attack for like 20 damage.
Round 5: Internet BUG
I destroy him with blood moon after a chalice 0 and chalice 1. His suspended visions is countered and I eventually nug his Strix which is holding my Stormbreath back.
I just destroy him with dudes that can't be Abrupt Decayed. I think I get no Moons or chalices this game, just a pile of Beetlebacks, Heroes, and a giant hasty Dragon. Eventually Hero + Dragon beats 2 Shardless Agents and 2 DRS.
A lands deck is my next opponent but they won't let us start another round so late.
Is God really even worth it? Seems like you might just be better off playing some other awesome man that is always a man.

Why Guerilla Tactics? Why not any of Magma Burst, Murderous Redcap, Flametongue Kavu, or Spitebellows? edit: or Clasm.
Also, have you tried Moltensteel Dragon?
This is funny.is a fun and interactive game of magic.
As usual, that was a very good and enjoyable read :D
Victory!
LOL nedleeds. This report was awesome and that deck looks sweet.
I think you're my real father.
I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums
Moltensteel Dragon is shit for a number of reasons
1) Can't pin under Chrommox
2) Dies to random bullshit that isn't creature removal (Pridemage)
3) Isn't Stormbreath Dragon
4) Isn't Stormbreath Dragon
I might run him in a Workshop deck with Rage Extractor. But that's about it.
is Ydwen Efreet better than something like boggart ram gang? Other than that sweet report + deck. Probably missing something on why you chose that.
Probably not other than oldness and value. Plus you get to say ram you for 3? Ram Liliana? Ram your Jace? Also I don't have Russian Ram Gangs. Efreet does have ass for decades though ...
Is Liliana such a problem with Moons and haste creatures?
Edit: Another idea came to me, Hammer of Purphoros?
Well Tactics also kills the same early dudes as the other shitshocks (DRS, mom, etc.) and resolves through chalice 1, so the utility at a store full of hymns and liliana's outweighs scry 2 or split second or whatever the other 'Shitshock' cycle has for me. Hammer is really a do nothing card, even worse than god himself at least god can oriflamme and shock and maybe get in for 6.
Moar Koth! I want him to be good so bad
Your deck, sir, is an amazing work of art. Nice report as well, bravo.
