The Deck I Would Play To Hit Mythic | Foundations Arena Standard

[@niceprofile-k6i]

I usually play this style of deck and it was just fascinating watching such a strong player pilot it. I know you don’t really like these types of decks but I learned a lot watching you and I appreciate you posting it!

[@Shademore]

Yeah I don’t really mind the deck as much. Just a big complainer haha.

[@beastmode53678]

Thanks for this. I was really struggling with skeletons, sitting below 50 WR. This one feels a lot nicer and somehow more acceptable than straight red aggro. I' was getting unlucky with the manabase and squeezed in 2 more white sources with thran portals, but even constrained, the deck still wins. Red is just that good in BO1 I guess.

[@Babs42]

I have a new skeleton list that is running at 60+ percent.

[@beastmode53678]

@Babs42 please share

[@Shademore]

Yeah where the list at haha.

[@Shademore]

Red is very good and the reason I like burn is against the matches where people have the game plan of creatures will not touch me. We just point burn to the forehead and it’s pretty hard to lose overall.

You suggested wrenns resolve over druid if not wanting to craft the lands, but wouldnt an instant spell be better to keep a similar line of play? Maybe thrill or demand answers?

[@Shademore]

Yeah the only issue is I believe is those put you card neutral by being 2 for 2 were as the other is card positive by 1. Just have to weigh the options and if playing at instant speed is more important then I would do that if you feel like your running out of cards to often then then you might have to pivot to the resolve. However I think the 2 for 2 won’t hurt that often as you can always pitch the extra land or the shock that isn’t good enough. Either way think those are good options regardless

6:09 QDruid is lethal with prowess here?

[@Shademore]

Yeah I just missed it. Tbh I thought I had lethal if I just pumped the creature but clearly I did not haha

[@jmoney9494]

Im gonna have to try this. I have seen mono red gets over 60% win rate and i just dont see it (unless its my opponent). I have been auzorious control because the meta is so wide and I couldn't trust my aggro decks anymore

[@Shademore]

Your mirror matches are going to run 50/50 a lot of times because if you’re on the draw it can be hard. I believe I went 7-1 with this the first time around and then like 8-4 following that so a 15-5 record overall on it so far.

[@jmoney9494]

@Shademore ya I was doing the mouse package as much as I could and honestly with how much exile and emberheart feeling a little slow you just get hosed by a sheltered by ghost if you don't have a bunch of damage you can throw at their creatures in an instant. You just can't afford the mirror match to have you tapped out and mice does that alot

[@guilhermeruzene791]

@@jmoney9494 The thing that got my attention in this deck is exactly the possibility of playing control against boros auras/Fling. Unfortunately, we could not see many of those matches, and in the only one we got shade didnt have any of the 11 creature burn spells to answer properly. Sad

[@Babs42]

Skeletons are the better mono-black deck and I climbed with them 2 days into the season and hit #41. Mono-red can suck it ;).

[@Shademore]

Rude haha. But skeletons doing well huh?
