Blue Moon

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Looking for help. Wouldn't mind squeezing a few more {Electrolyze}s in, {Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir} is such a douchey card that I would love more of him, SB or MB, and I love {Izzet Staticaster} in sideboard. I am using Lee Shi-Tian's deck with a few changes of my very own.

   Lands 22
10  {Island}
4  {Flooded Strand}
1  {Mountain}
4  {Scalding Tarn}
3  {Steam Vents}

   Creatures 7
1  {Keranos, God of Storms}
4  {Snapcaster Mage}
2  {Vendillion Clique}

   Noncreature Spells 30
1  {Batterskull}
4  {Blood Moon}
3  {Cryptic Command}
3  {Electrolyze}
4  {Lightning Bolt}
2  {Mana Leak}
3  {Remand}
3  {Spell Snare}
2  {Spreading Seas}
2  {Threads of Disloyalty}
2  {Vapor Snag}
2  {Vedalken Shackles}

   
Sideboard
3  {Anger of the Gods}
1  {Combust}
1  {Counterflux}
1  {Flame Slash}
1  {Hurkyl's Recall}
1  {Negate}

Suggestions?  Burn it.  For the tron player.  (Yes I can beat it, but I don't enjoy playing against it at all)

You can beat it, but it is probably 75% favored

[DeathlyFoiend]

-2 Master of Waves
-2 Venser
-1 Blood Moon
-1 Electrolyze

+1 Snapcaster Mage
+2 Vendilion Clique
+2 Flame Slash
+1 Cryptic Command

Sounds like a challenge to me.

After a little testing I agree with most of this. I want to keep the {Blood Moon} and {Electrolyze} in over {Flame Slash}es though, I feel that {Lightning Bolt} and {Electrolyze} have been holding down the fort along with my suite of counterspells. I liked {Venser, Shaper Savant} because he and {Remand} are so good when they don't have the land base to respond until next turn. I am hesitant to take Venser and Master out, because the deck needs a win con, but I think that between adding one more Snapcaster and 2 Cliques the deck should work out fine.

More like 48 percent.  my {pyroclasms} wreck all of his small dudes and i can just wait untill about turn 7 to drop my wurmcoil.  No big deal.

And then post side, I have a lot more options.

I would easily steal your Wurmcoil with a {Vedalken Shackles}, not to mention the suite of counterspells.

I'm not saying it's easy.  But most of the time I can do it.

I don't know I'm all casual, but I see a lot of talking going on. Let the cardboard be the judge.

You! You are smart and things! What do you think of running {Deprive} so I can have a hard counter? I don't see it being run often, but without big X spells like {Sphinx's Revelation} it seems that after turn 6 or so, returning the land won't be a huge deal.

I am not a fan because it is bad early game in this type of deck. Mana leak is amazing against bigger spells and has more relavence early game. It is good in tempo when they don't need all of their lands, but in a control deck, it is bad.

I know. My thought is -1 {Blood Moon}, -1 {Remand}, +2 {Deprive}. If I don't go through with it I think I am going to go: -1 {Blood Moon}, +1 {Vedalken Shackles}

then karn or an o stone hits first to take care of it.

[TheRecklessPlaneswalker]

I'd add a Frank Sinatra. But that's just my opinion

[InfinitiveDivinity]

I'd add a Frank Santra. But that's just my opinion

Good 'ol Santra.

With Tarns down and the addition of Modern Thursdays at my LGS, I am finally building this. I'll play UWR as the main deck, but I'll bring this out occasionally to be a douche.

Need help finding room for {Dig Through Time}, maybe as a two-of.
