I just wanted to hear your comments about it, its a wildfire stax which was built buy Machinus, I modified it abit by boosting the mana accelerants so you could maximize wildfire and uba mask and put them to your advantage.

Once you resolve a Wildfire and uba mask in play with all your mana accelerants im sure you could out setup/restart your opponents deck due to your mana accelerants.

Necro this thread a bit?

Ive been playing Wildfire Stax a bit lately and I think Sylvian Lib is exactly the card it needs to stop going into such a shitty late game. I would only play 3 Wildfire though. Drawing 2 in your opening hand is so gay.

@emidln
Are you playing any creatures for win conditions still? Have you tried Arc-Slogger? He rfg's the top 10 cards so you can keep things selective with library even.

I don't play any creatures as win conditions. All of my cards are multi-functional and never dead. Creatures are largely dead most of the game in addition to hosing my philosophy of creating card advantage through card choices. All of my card choices allow me to trade many of my opponents' cards for 1 or less of my own.

My win conditions right now are like this:

Concession
Mishra's Factory (3)
Barbarian Ring (2)
Rolling Earthquake (2)
Burning Wish + Rolling Earthquake (2)
Goblin Welder (3 post-board)
Razormane Masticore (4 post-board)

I have never felt like I have needed more, and Welder and Razorcore actually aren't meant to be win conditions. Rolling Earthquake is also more often a "draw condition" than a win condition. It functions much like Dragon + Reanimate enchantment + no target works in dragon to draw then game when I can't win conventionally.

Honestly, B.Ring + Factory account for perhaps 40% of my kills. The rest are through concession.

@emidln

I see you have added Razormane Masticore to your list. I have been playing 2 maindeck Razormane Masticores since GP Philly. I saw your list on Star City. What are you using as your current sideboard?

[emidln]

The one in my primer on Salvation lacks the Razorcores, but the list that I'm testing that I hope helps the Goblins matchup (too early to tell for sure) is this:

1 Pyroclasm
1 Boiling Seas
1 Life from the Loam
4 Razormane Masticore
3 Goblin Welder
3 Boil
2 Pithing Needle

I'm not entirely sure if the fat dudes plan is going to be the way vs Goblins over say, more Pyroclasms, Rolling Earthquakes and 1-2 Constant Mists, but it seems at least as good right now. I don't think it really hurts any matchups either, as you can always board out Uba Masks, leave in Libraries, and bring in Razormane Masticore + Welders against control to combo with Life from the Loam.

For my board, keep in mind that I have 2x Burning Wish, 2x Rolling Earthquake, and 2x Pithing Needle main.

Have you tried Silent Arbiter against Goblins? It's 1 cheaper, same toughness. It's not as powerful and it doesn't actually get rid of the goblins, but it can lock them down more easily and you don't need to discard to keep it out.
