Title: Young Pyro and Cipher
Post by: Butch1977 on November 08, 2013, 06:44:30 PM
Thinking of a {R}{W}{U} deck centered around cheap ciphers and {young pyromancer} for tokens and whites ability to pump them up. Need the Big drop though. Any suggestions?
Standard only please

I think white hurts you a little too much, think you should stick with {R}{U} and keep your big drops in house so to speak.

I was trying to pump up tokens with white... Seems like white and green are the only ones in standard really giving those +1/+1 out to all creatures. Unless i use Grixis and sac the tokens....

Mostly white creatures that throw out counters, saccing the tokens I think would be a better option.

I shall start to rethink. Thanks for the info. I've never played white or green so i have no clue about standard in those colors...after i get four of them i just give the extra to my nephew and in the box they go

Curving out at {Stormbreath Dragon} is never bad.

Well, red does have pump spells. They just tend to last till the end of the turn. Which is probably worth cleaning out the white

I'm running young pyro, guttersnipe, storm breath, nivmagus elemental, blistercoil weird, strionic resonator, melek Izzet paragon, goblin electromancer, opportunity, magma jet, lightening strike, shock, and a few other likewise cards.  It's worked well in Friday Night Magic. Anyhow, adding white into the mix is just too much.

I think we have a consensus. White is out.
