I took out the titans and realized I only have one {urabrask the hidden} and one {past in flames}

@BrokenPillar:  ðŸ'ðŸ'ðŸ'ðŸ' Way to bust out the Math/Stats!  🌟 for you!

That's good deck analysis, folks.

Heh, sorry if that was a little much. I have just found that mana base is one of the trickiest things to get right when building a deck. Being able to see that "____ Titan" is awesome is pretty easy, getting your mana right so that he makes it onto the table sometimes is not as easy.

Nothing sadder than getting your opponent to 2 life with only four lands out and an {Inferno Titan} in hand wishing he was a cheap burn spell.

I don't think that was too much at all.  I agree that managing your land count is what separates good players from great players, and here on the forums is a great way for new players to learn more.

ðŸ'ŒHear hear!

I agree still think green may pose a small problem for this deck

What about {traitorous blood} as an answer to green?

I don't think it would fit main deck, but it would be a perfect start to your sideboard (or maybe that is what you meant).

I would say 3 + or - 1 should do it. (Look, more math, do I get another gold star? ;) )

3 +/- 1  == 2,3,4 ==  >1.  ðŸ'ŽðŸŒŸ this time. 😜

Keep the shrines! I'd say take it to three, if not even four. I mean yes, green will hate on the shrines like no other, but when they're not getting nattied, they are AMAZING bombs and finishers, your also gonna want to throw a couple (I use three) {Ancient Grudge}s into the sideboard, as well as throwing some {Rootbound Crag}s in the main to make the flashback super easy. The Crag's also don't disrupt manabase seeing as how they're coming in untapped almost every time if you have at least one mountain out.

Personally I prefer {Act of Aggression} over {Traitorious Blood} due to the fact that it's instant speed. This enables their turn shenanigans and it can also technically cost the same amount (that is, if you don't mind losing a little life). But that is really a prefference choice, either way those also hit the sideboard.

Without playtesting I can see that this deck will also play quite differently than mine, so as far as maindeck goes, I don't want to change anything you've done there. The last thing I'd want to do is make your deck something entirely different than what you envisioned, but the sideboard assistance I gave you should help. Also, get a feel fit your Meta (That's assuming you frequent FNM), this can greatly help in your making of a great sideboard.

Every amazing deck needs an equally amazing sideboard =] Remember that.

I can't do statistics well but I can assure you that {Hero of Oxid Ridge} is better than Urabrask.

BlackJester

I think Hero might be worse in a mirror match.  IMHO

I can agree with that from personal experience, maybe Urabrask in the board? The Hero is really good.
