My take on U/B Heroic

by Buwalda on 27 April 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (14 cards)

Sorceries (6)

Instants (8)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is my Heroics Humans deck. Im looking for suggestions on how to make it better, because it wins about half games right now, looking for better. So thanks for any help! Planning to get more hidden strings and more Triton Tactics, but what should I remove for those? Also, NorthernWarlord is my hero!

How to Play

I always check for a turn one drop. Preferably a Tormented Hero! Just trigger heroic as much as possible. Agent of the Fates is amazing. I swept an entire board with him because of his heroic! I also love Lazav+removal spells to copy something amazing!

Deck discussion for My take on U/B Heroic

You don't need desecration demon ... it doesn't fit. It is not heroic or dimir, nor does it benefit from them. Plus, it's not human.

I don't know, I see it as a staple for a black deck. Easy to splash and cast, works with Gift of Orzhova for massive lifelink that can save your tail, and acts as a lightning rod for any removal cards they may have.

True, he is an offensive beast. A 6/6 for 4 mana? Yikes!

I prefer Segnir Vampire.

Bring more triton tactics ... it's awesome, cheap, allows you to have 2 creatures with pseudo vigilance, AND it targets 2 of your heros. You definitely need 4.

Add more Lazav and Ashiok.

Consider an Echo Mage. He might help you out.

Other choice ... nab a battlefield thaumaturge and some spells with Strive.

I'm pretty sure they're trying to keep this deck Standard legal.

Good, good!
This is very good one! All the cards seem to fit like a dream!
All cards that I can suggest are Aqueous Form and that you add MORE Hidden Strings.
That's all. Otherwise pretty much perfect (and pretty cheap) deck!
Well done!

No Northy, you are brilliant! So are you knight! Thanks to both you guys! And thanks to everyone else for commenting! Going to get more hidden strings and triton tactics, planning to sideboard doom blade, and take out Gift of Orzhov and Fate foretold. Also, I agree desecration needs to go for a human, but I like how desecration is a beat stick! Any ideas! Btw, it needs to be standard! And thanks again to everyone! Maybe this will make the hot page!

Dude, take out Desecration Demon, and another deck with him! He might go well with Corpsejack Menace, Primal Vigor / Doubling Season, and Pithing Needle. Lol, Pithing needle as an ultimate - who would have thought it!
Maybe make whole deck based around Pithing Needle! Wheel of Sun and Moon, Arrest/Pacifism, Strionic Resonator, etc.

And Northern, you are brilliant at creating well-balanced budget decks. Dude, I totally want to be able to do that!

But... Nobody has ever said that I'm brilliant...
All of my friends think I'm some kind of reclusive freak, since I'm a pretty silent person...
My mother and father never have said that I do something well...

I guess I'm sick person somehow. I feel much more welcome here in the warmth of the MtG Vault than in my home or with my friends... That's just ain't right, right?

Hey, I know your pain. As an only child, I thought I cope with loneliness. I quit video games and forced myself to be social. You will find that your brains and ability to go at life alone make you a valuable friend who is free from a lot of peer pressure if you pull it off right.There is something you can do as well as Magic ... I know it.

Lol, my phone's spellcheck adapts to names and strings of words I use often. NorthernWarlord has been use so often, it is easy to insert. Also, I get 3 correction options.

Okay. I'm gonna keep going. Just for you guys.
When the whole world tries to pull me into the abyss of hell, I proudly stand up, put on my swag-glasses (completely badass sunglasses), and keep going.
It is weird to say, but I love you guys. I hope that I can learn to love my friends too...
Maybe one day, but until then...
I wish that all you have a great ideas, powerful cards and lucky starting lands. Hugs from Northy!

If you think I'm awesome, don't forget to look at mirror too.
Everyone. Every single person who has ever said anything nice, cheerful or supportive has kept me going. You people have made me "awesome". That is thing that I can never repay... At least if I don't keep making my famous(?) Budget Decks -series.
You are awesome too, Buwalda. I'm sure you are pretty much great guy, no matter where you live or who you really are.
Now, I beg your pardon, but I have some work to do. New decks, perhaps?
...and, do you mind if I create my variation of this U/B standard heroic?

I am not saying video games are bad, just addictive and with the potential to take over some people's lives. Sadly, I am one of those people. For me, Magic is much healthier.

Just want to throw my two cents in, it may be worthwhile keeping a Desecration Demon or two as it gives an excellent creature for your Artisan of Forms to copy. If you play an instant after blockers are declared it can even bypass the sacrifice and tap condition on the DD :)

Also wanted to say that you are awseome Northern, your budget series have given me a cheap entrance into modern :) Keep up the good work!
