Title: What deck should I play next??
Post by: Hunteroffire9 on August 06, 2013, 11:44:13 AM
So, I went I've gone 4-1 with jund 3 times and placed 2-4 and gotten 1st once, got 4-1 once placing 3rd with junk rites then first. Played 4 color rites once and got 1st and last fnm played gruul aggro and got 2nd.

What deck should I play next, can't play any deck with snap, Geist or, voice, or thundermaw, but can build ANY deck without these, and I have a play set of each dual and shock and standard so that's not a problem.

I say Bant or Grixis. Because Bant is all the rage right now, and Grixis is just my jam always.

Naya is also all the rage right now lol

Post by: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on August 06, 2013, 12:12:29 PM
Either Naya or Boros Aggro. A lot of people are doing odd decks right now, trying to make the best of having two cores and two blocks available, so just crush them with speed.

What about a skies deck? There strengthening that archetype, and I have a feeling Theros will strengthen it even more

I would say mono green.  Green is my jam.

However that's your decision.  JUST DON'T PLAY BANT HEXPROOF!!!

Why not Bant Hexproof? Everyone's doing it! :D

Don't do a typical net deck like Bant Hexproof do Gruul Aggro with  {Wild Beastmaster} and A LOT OF BLOODRUSH!! It's a lot of fun and quite competitive the last 3 FNMs I finished in Top 3 (of about 20). It's an unexpected deck and such a good combo!!

Bloodrush and Unleash and Haste. YIKES!

Boros humans! Or just any kind of boros deck. Burn, aggro, whatever. Just play boros.
Title: Re: What deck should I play next??
Post by: Hunteroffire9 on August 06, 2013, 06:15:05 PM
Like I saide I can't do Bant because I don't have any geists and Naya because I don't have any thundermaw or voice and not grixis cause I don't have snap but I have a play set of EVerY other standard card.
Title: Re: What deck should I play next??
Post by: Mattao19 on August 06, 2013, 06:32:38 PM
Again don't do a typical deck!! Use your skills to make you unique to you!! They're often unexpected and can be even more powerful than net decks
Title: Re: What deck should I play next??
Post by: LadyGrixis on August 06, 2013, 06:39:15 PM
You can do Grixis without Snapcaster Mage. But whatevs, it's your deck and your call.

You could try the mono red Raid 2.0 deck or even my mono black Heartless Summoning deck in the articles. I cant believe how solid it still is.

I'm not a big net decker but if I want to keep up how much I win running a blue control deck without snaps won't work until rotation.
Title: Re: What deck should I play next??
Post by: LadyGrixis on August 06, 2013, 10:12:45 PM
Yes you can. If you Mill the mess out of someone, they won't have Snaps. I've done it before. Snaps are great, but they're far from necessary.

Run a Jund deck that eats graveyards. Put a playset of {Scavenging Ooze}s, {Deathrite Shaman}s, {Naturalize}s, {Putrefy}s, and {Dreadbore}s. To win throw in a playset of {Lava Axe}s and {Volcanic Geyser}s. Its like a Jund Burn/Control. Why, because its not something you see everyday and a lot of people wouldn't be prepared for it. Side board (or main deck) {Acid Slime}s, {Demolish}s and maybe {Encroaching Waste}s so you can slow them down and then eat the lands with your {Deathrite Shaman}.

Not Trying to be rude but I have to play agaist ToP tier decks and this might not cut it but you have amazing ideas.
Title: Re: What deck should I play next??
Post by: lotrwk on August 06, 2013, 10:40:38 PM
Well if you play against top tier decks (net decks), you must build top tier decks (net decks), so you mustn't need our help. If you don't like the ideas here, don't ask for help.
Title: Re: What deck should I play next??
Post by: JustAWalrus on August 06, 2013, 10:42:42 PM
The rotationis soon I suggest dega agro or azorius control for post rotation. I have a list for eack and have been testing for months, you can use it post rotation but they would still  be great now.

Net decks are never actually needed to win, i almost beat junk reanimator with my budget rakdos agro deck, i was at 44 they were at 1

Plus Jund control/anti-graveyard is so weird that no one has a strategy to defend against it. I probably won't be first every week but it should throw enough people off to place top half at least.

I usually play against top tier decks also. Hexproof, Bant control (bouncing), America Midrange and BUG reanimator (less now that rotation is coming up) are the most common. But I have found if you go in with something unusual you can unusually do pretty well because people aren't prepared for it and don't know how to play against it. Also, the deck is pretty functional. You use the kill spells and land destroyers to fill up their graveyard and promptly eat their stuff and the instants and sorceries you are throwing out and slow them way down. Think, with {Deathrite Shaman}'s ability every time you eat an instant or sorcery, your opponent loses 2 life. Add that to the burn spells and any damage you can get in with {Scavenging Ooze} and you can win.

I'm pretty sure I didn't say that they were needed at all. It may have read like that, but i didnt mean it. I really dislike it when people use net decks, and all the "Top Tier" decks are net decks but with one or two different cards, and then they call it their own. I love playing budget decks, and weird unusual decks that throw people off. Deckbuilding is part of Magic as a whole, and net decking ruins it.

Play Bug +1/+1 counters,

{Vorel of the hull clade}

Super fun to play just add control cards and cards with simular effects.
{Bioshift}
{Clone}
{fog}
And {bane alley broker} for library digging

Playtest it, i have a list and there is no way it won't survive to have a 66/66 on turn 7 to punch face with, the list is very competative and I have tested it against many top tier decks right now.
