[@lumierenoire4154]

I'm wondering if the new goblin, the Taunter, would be good. Or would it be a case of "For 5 I do nothing" ? Because, with it and the Incinerator, by paying 3 and tapping (yeah, that's a lot of dos already) the opponent and one creature take damage equal to a creature's power. Is that not bad or too heavy to perform ?

[@LegenVD]

I think it's a little too slow for this style of deck.

[@lumierenoire4154]

@@LegenVD I think you're right yes, thanks for the input !

[@thatguyinyellow2950]

I love burn so much that first game was nuts

[@evzenkastl6386]

When i face such original RDW it does not even make me angry much :). What makes me angry is the stupid arena algorithm. Last time I played sealed I finally build super good w/b life gain deck. Lost all games to drawing maximum one black source of mana in all 3 games (I even had. 2 dual lands!!). Good job wizards. Shuffling algorithm is far from random and far from helpful to the player. These games always remind me, why I stop playing arena shortly after new edition. That and netdeckers. Lvd keep up your good work, you have a emotional balance I would love to have :)). All the best guys.

[@louelastic954]

Necromancy For Kids Its actually not very good in the mainboard with all the removal in standard right now. Turn 3 shock -> skewer -> incinerator is strong but it sucks ass when your opponent just uses a 2-3 mana kill to take it out afterwards.

[@mavor101]

[@turandorf]

Merchant sent me

[@obesechicken13]

13:23 "we'll have our work cut out for us" generally means "they're helping us" eg. by damaging themselves lol Deck looks sick. Wouldn't be surprised to see incinerator being the top end for monored decks for the next 2 years lol. Ah forgot it's kinda weak to bounce and doesn't do as much if the opponent has no creatures lol.

[@wimfranken826]

Haven't heard that phrase meaning that before. Everytime i've heard it it meant either: that's gonna be difficult/ it's now clear what's need to be done.

[@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137]

About half the people who say it mean it one way, and the other half mean in it in the complete opposite sense. I have always found this hilarious and have witnessed several arguments over its proper meaning.

[@MrOrdinaryundone]

Even without anything to kill it's still monored. If they aren't playing creatures then they are gonna get stomped the old fashioned way

[@12Rman21]

got a terror of the peaks in Draft, was pretty sick there. Are there any halfway decent constructed decks for it out there?

[@doormatt72]

sadly terror's not a very constructed playable card in this meta. ugin usually comes down around the same turn from the ramp decks and basically makes anything midrange (the home of terror of the peaks) pretty bad. the good news is, the set just started, so the meta might still shift away from so much ugin ramp. but as long as ugin ramp is so prevalent, terror will have a hard time finding a good home.

[@mynzelah6883]

Hello Legend, I gave this deck a twist to fit my style and playing bo3. Decklist: 4 spear spewer 4 scorch spitter 4 shock 4 chandra's pyreling 4 electrostatic field 4 slaying fire 4 risk factor 4 skewer the critics 4 light up the stage 4 chandra's Incinerator 20 mountain Side: 4 tibalt, rakish instigator 4 leyline of combustion 3 blazing volley 4 redcap melee Still decently budget friendly and managed to get myself from diamond 4 to diamond 2 and still rising. If you have time plz do try this list as it works wonders for me. I went down to 20 mountains because i drew too many with 22 and even with 21. Kind Regards,

[@daherleonardi]

Fucking how? I can't get out of gold with this shit

[@hannecalis6081]

@@daherleonardi Last month I ended just barely missed mythic ending in diamond 1. I found a lot of decks have a problem with chandra's pyreling as it does a very good job of both blocking and attacking. The burn usually goes to the face unless you're facing aggro. I did find the 4th slaying fire a bit much so it might be more correct to run 21 lands cutting 1 slaying fire. I don't know how you can't get out of gold, i've had some problems finding the time to play but right now i'm already back to plat 3 from gold 3. Maybe you just draw poorly or things just don't line up. The hardest matchup is probably mono green as they come fast and have big creatures but decks like temur rec and bant ramp you should just burn through their incidental lifegain. In any case, I wish you the best of luck

[@dayel11]

Could Blistersplit Gremlin be a better replacement for spear spewer?

It can be better late game, but you don't often have the mana to enable it early when you need to enable Spectacle and Incinerator.
