Do you think {Vexing Devil} is worth a shot? It triggers your ETB effects and is 1 more damage than bolt.

So take out the lightning bolts for vexing? I'll play test for sure.

I wouldn't: spot removal is always a must.

Yeah I kinda figured. Lightning bolts are SO good.

{lightning bolt} for sure. {boros charm} just helps kill the enemy quickly, which isn't the problem, while bolt is spot removal, one of the most important elements of just about every modern deck.

Is {Lightning Helix} better than lightning bolt with the Ajani's Pridemate? Plus three life isn't a terrible thing.

Vial is there to make sure norin or champion gets on the field.

The goal is to gain life and spam ETB triggers with {norin the wary}. {Champion of the Parish}, {purphoros, god of the forge}, {genesis chamber}, etc. all give the deck a lot of power.

This deck is kind of ridiculously fun ATM. Any tips for sideboard or does it look solid?

Sideboard needs {torpor orb} for pod and twin, {boros charm} for wrath effects, {sowing salts} for tron, and {relic of progenitus} for living end and melira-pod.

Doesn't torpor hurt me though? Since I have etb effects?

Derp sorry, yeah scratch that one. You might want something like a {combust} in the board for melira and twin, then.

Thanks. You should see some of these decks though. Imthelolrus made a ridiculous American midrange. It's just mean.

I was thinking of adding a {sun titan} but I'm not completely sure how it would do.

Why sun Titan? That doesn't make much sense here.

Incase board control. It brings back most of my creatures from the graveyard.
Title: Re: Norin The OP
Post by: Sparkle Ninja on March 17, 2014, 05:25:43 PM
There are better cards for that though. And also if it's board control Sun Titan is a prime target for removal
