haha yea man, i wish i had some mox opals, theyre just way too damn expensive, if you know anyone who has them for trade, i do trading over youtube, and i would like to trade with them deffinitly haha, but thanks for the insight, however i came across the whole glinthawk debate while making the deck and the only draw back to it is the fact that its a 2/2 while ardent recruit can be a 3/3 plus if my memnites are already buffed and i draw a glinthawk, it becomes redundant to send back a buffed creature to get one that cant be buffed, even though many ppl would say, "well you cant buff the recruit?" yes i cant, but it can withstand one more damage than the glint hawk, which makes it more durable of a creature to have out, for the same mana, and no draw back, and thats why i chose to have it in, but i love the constructive critisim, but i wouldnt take anything else out of the deck for the glinthawks as well cuz that would mean less buffable cards, unless im playing a creatureless deck or something, or soemthing not so based on creatures, THEN id add in 4 hawks and sideboard journeys

actually that was a very constructive comment haha, i appriciate any persons constructive comments, and im glad you understand where im coming from with the deck, like, to some it might seem that some things are unneccisary but you cant really understand a players perspective of the deck unless you truly utilize the purpose of it haha, but i love when people form very constructive criticism cuz it shows theres need for improvement in the deck, i also have a tempered steel deck up that is one of the things that ill be relying heavily for FNM and SNM games, i would love some constructive criticism on that deck, cuz i think its really good, but as always other peoples perspective can create new deck ideas :)
actually i havent really, that sounds like a good idea tho! thanks for the comment! that actually gives me some more ideas for the deck, but for now im using it like this until i see flaws with it and then ill go in and change it or sideboard stuff for a "incase of fire situtation" haha
@Rustedbucket, i dont see your comment as insulting haha, just constructive criticism, and i love that, but on the other hand i would have to disagree considering i have cards like plague myr and vector asp that come in as artifacts with infect or the possiblity of infect with one black mana, the fact that i have mox opal is to put me up one turn in mana when i get 3 artifacts out, not IF i get them out, any of the creature that i get out with infect can be used for infect capability and realistically can be pumped with a spell. I mean think about it, think about the chances of gettting a unfavorable hand, everything in the deck i would need to draw eventually to combo up, and the chances of getting a all non infect creature hand, ohhh lets say that has 2 memnites and 2 ornothopters, and 3 boosting spells is, 144 in 11,703,240 times that i draw a starting hand haha, im pretty sure i like the odds of that haha XD but realistically with methods of shuffling it would be more likely but still not capable in most situations, and plus, try doing some generated hands and see what shows up, i have done it alot of times, and only a few times have i even found results that werent favorable
@theviv69, i looked at your deck and it seems pretty solid, i just had one thing that i needed to comment on about it, but i like the concept of your deck, it isnt fast enough however, thats where i think my deck would surpass you, but your deck a tad bit cheaper so it makes it much more realistically playable
- 4 Lightning Bolts for +4 Pyroclasms, you want to have the ability to board wipe if you need it, you wont need to use lightning bolt as a burn factor, so if anything try to see it as a spot removal, but depending on what deck you go against, if anything, side board 4 pyroclasms
the reason i have it this way is so that i can use things like the memnites or ornithopters with tainted strike if needed be, but also to have some back up with the mox opal so the artifacts arent pointless, and also this deck being based around 2-3 mana, you want to get a infect creature out, assult strobe and groundswell it and swing for 12 and win haha, atleast thats the image i have in my head
oh and quick favor to ask, if it isnt too much trouble, if you could check out my grixis deck really quick and see if you have any suggestions for it, cuz im trying to take it to FNM but i havent tested it at all with other peoples decks, and i just want it to be as broken as possible for the revealing of it tomorow haha, its pretty solid now but suggestions would help, and thanks!
hahaha people are plain stupid, and one of the funniest things said was someone on here before talking about how mindless null was banned or something XD hahaha, idk if they were being serious but that just reminds me of one kid that plays in FNM with me and my friends and comes up with the most bullshit logic to cards haha, like misinterpretation to the extent of us thinking he is metally challenged
how many mtg players does it take to figure out this deck isnt supposed to be serious? ill admit the title caught my eye, but looking at the deck list, it was just plain silly to me hahaha
goblin ruinblaster deffinitly haha, i use it in my grixis deck as a counter-condition to all the discarding and stuff going on
and you also need more burn cards for win condition, because you cant depend on 8 cards to win the game for you, if you think about it, if someone uses a white health ramping deck, youre screwed unless you get a crapload of mana and use red sun, but in my opinion, you should put in something as a staple for winning, like maybe a contaminated ground? its black and converts your opponents land, and when they tap it they take damage? thats pretty nice if you combo up some counter spelling on top, cuz theyll be casting mana to do absoloutly nothing for the turn, which screws them over. another thing i would suggest is maybe a corrupt? if youre going for a burnish deck, use corrupt and screw your opponent and put yourself ahead, and finally if anything, put in blightning if you wont use anything else in the deck i put up, 3 damage + 2 card discard = panic for your opponent. good luck with your deck man!!
just swap my tezzerets in my deck, for yours, it should be easier for you to work around it than it would for me, what you need is stuff to accelerate your mana as well, and creatures on top of that, like memnite or ornothopter, cheap stuff to get out, and also stuff like the sphere of the suns that you have already, everflowing chalice, it just makes it much cheaper to play the deck, and also i would go with a playset of dreadship reef, because it lets you use storage counters on it and you can proliferate them. im merely giving suggestions, if you want to go for the prolif idea, you dont have to take up the red in the deck, you can leave that out and replace it with some black removal, but either way its up to you, you just want a consistant deck, something you know you could have reoccuring results with playsets
if youre already going along the B/R/U path, why dont you just go for a grixis deck? i have one up that does very well, idk its up to you if you want to use the idea, but my deck is: http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=157543
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdK7PS__tMs ^^^my deck that revolves around tezz and liliana, the thing you want to do, is try and make it proliferating, its the sickest way to take control of the field, especially when you proliferate counters on your everflowing chalices, but i would try and mimic this deck if i was you, and tweak it to your liking, because this deck was VERY succesful for me haha :)
im trying to go for a grixis deck, if anyone could help id appriciate it :) http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=157543
i say drop the go for the throat and get a grasp of darkness, it will take care of most things in your way and it removes the limit to go for the throats power if youre playing a metalcraft deck or anything artifact heavy, and other than that, i would say get 4 skinrenders for some creature control and plus if anything is substantially large in the toughness region like idk a blightsteel colosus or something, you can always prolif the -1/-1 counters on it with skinrender, it just allows for some tough spot removal, and gives you a 3/3 creature for 4? skinrender should just be a sorcery and it would be a uncommon haha
exactly^ :)
well i dont have 4 of the mind funerals, i was on a tight budget and had to only get 2 at that time, but of course im getting more, but grasp of darkness for control against some larger or more annoying creatures, and i dont have go for the throat at the moment but i would put it in if i had it, thank you for the constructive criticism tho
i commented on it with a little suggestion for blockers, thanks for checking out my deck and check out the other ones i have up and see what you like and if you have any constructive criticism haha :)
