I don't rant over anyone's cards :) I have been play testing a deck that uses Mr. Devil and it's been going well. He has his uses regardless of what some people say (usually the Borg netdeckers whom refuse to think outside the 'norm').  It's been fun to watch an opening hand of first drop devil watch opponent take 4 turn 2 {disentomb} drop him again and then see where it goes from there.

{Vexing Devil} is not a trash card or unplayable, but like anyone would tell you, a card that allows your opponents to choose will often result in them picking the best choice for them, worst for you.

4/3 for one mana and four damage for one mana are both far above the curve, just don't confuse the fact that either side is too good and conclude that the card is too.

His ability is when he enters the battlefield, and by some degree {Thunderous Wrath} may be a better 4-of.

And you can gauge an opponents confidence of their hand an deck on how they respond as well. I've been testing {noxious revival} and {thunderous wrath} also in this deck as well. Just trying to make a burn deck that's viable and not in the norm so to speak.  Been experimenting also on a u/r deck that can hold control long enough for a Tamiyo flicker unlimited turn combo.  Everyone loves unlimited Consecutive turns lol!  Just wish I had friends/relatives whom lived closer to play test more as its hard for me to juggle work/single fatherhood and house upkeep -- and I just can't get into MTGO as I seem to find owning digital cards less meaningful as well as the twitch factor of most people I play against.

TL;DR -  2 year olds don't make good test partners lol

Vexing devil actually is pretty decent.

If Elmo were on all the cards maybe I could convince him to sit still long enough lol!

At least school will be out soon so I can have a larger pool of babysitters for some fNM activity :) how did everyone do tonight btw? Any good FNM stories?

This horrible deck one becomes he mana weaved, and stacked his deck.

I played my shiny new turbo fog in an unofficial sidegame, since FNM was Avacyn draft. Won, took SOOO LONG, but I did win.

{Elmo, the Destroyer of Worlds}

Turbo fog?!?! NO WAY I've never seen that deck! Jk I have. A lot.

I am currently playing my legacy artifact, im gonna kick your butt deck. 2-0 so far. :)

Jbombard51

Nice, turbo fog seems like it could be fun although it's not my style.  AVR draft for FNM? :/  drafts seem more like a Saturday thing to me, Fridays always standard play.  What was the final swing that won your turbo fog game?

It is standard turbo fog. My legacy deck is a Merfolk deck that is pretty much...merfolk. It's in the legacy forum (everything in the deck I actually own too).

The only time I really play legacy is during my Thursday playgroup. FNM is usually my Wolf Run Ramp or U/W Delver.

Edit: {Chalice of Death} won. I had them on the ropes with {Rites of Flourishing}, and I kept recycling with {Elixir of Immorality}

I know it is stAndard. Pretty basic stuff you got there.

I like your Merfolk deck. I've read your deck list. Legacy can beat standard any day. Stick with the unusual stuff instead of the extremely common stuff in standard!

I don't really love standard. It's the most popular, which is why I play, I do like seeing the new cards and using them. If half as many people played Legacy, I'd be in heaven.

Keep bring creative. It seems your losing it with your standard decks.
