Sunlight

by jonybgood on 22 October 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Instants (2)


Enchantments (2)


Land (2)

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

Red/White; Combat/Life

How to Play

The best of the both worlds...
The deck uses the red combat potential, making damage and buffing them up. Also, the white supportive healing, that helps buffing Ajani's Pridemate.

Figure of Destiny is four cards in one. If you have him at the first turn you have a 1/1, seccond one and you tranform him in a 2/2 with one more mana, after that, whenever you can pay 3 he becomes 4/4, then if you can pay 6 he becomes 8/8 with flying and first strike.

With Balefire Liege in play and Lightning Helix you may couse great damage and gain life equally.

>> You may want to make some changes:

If you are facing a medium/slow deck, you may consider put 2 Boros garrison, you'll have four more mana to generate in your deck.

If you're facing a heavy creature or high damage deck, you will find Ange's Grave very helpful.

If an opponent has some anoying card, Oblivion Ring.

Also, note the creatures in the sideboard, they might be helpful some cases as well.

Lightning Helix might be worth looking at. Three Damage and Three Life fits well.

Yeah.. That is good.. I'll put it in the place of Fire at Will.. It was meant to allow me to kill 2 or 3 creatures with low toughness at once. But I guess maybe Aurelia's Fury is enough.TY for the tip.. =]

the lifegain mechanic wont hold up in modern. you wont be able to gain enough life to make that big a difference, and you would rather have control of the board than have more life anyway.

that being said, you have a good start. boros reckoner is amazing. figure of destiny is pretty good too.

I would consider boros swiftblade, mirran crusader, hearthfire hobgoblin, savannah lions, and isamaru. fast creatures with nice abilities that can do some serious fast damage.

4 lightning bolts and 4 lightning helixs are an absolute must. you want this deck to basically drop 2 creatures turn 1 and 2, and then burn off the opponents answer creature turn 3 and keep attacking for a quick win.

I would also consider running 4 bonesplitters. its cheap and easy and can devastate in a fast creature deck. turn 1 bonesplitter, turn 2 boros swiftblade, turn 3 equip and swing for 6 with 2 mana open for removal. not too shabby.

I would also sideboard 4 oblivion rings, as its pretty much the best answer white has for anything

The lifegain was meant to buff Ajani's Pridemate, not to win the game by life amount. But I see it. If I focus on the damage it will probably work better.. Maybe I will loose less life then I could heal now.

The problem is that I wanted a multicolored deck. Many of the good cards are only red or white. But I guess I can make some exeptions..

I personally doesn't like Lightning Bolt, too much overpowered. It's not a damage deck... The Idea is to be Combat/Life.

Like your suggestions.. I'll make some changes.. Let's see how it does..

And thank you for your post..

Celestial fire is better than arrows of justice

I guess you meant Celestial Flare.. It's really good. But not exactly better. Celestial Flare makes target player choose what attacking/blocking creature he'll sacrifice, while Arrows of Justice will cause 4 damage in the attacking/blocking creature of YOUR choice, and it's multicolored, what makes it works better with Tablet of the Guilds .

The opponent can't use protection against celestial fire though. Because it's not targetting a creature.

Yes.. As I said, "It's really good. But not exactly better"... But I decided to take all of them out... Going with 2 Lightning Bold and 4 Lightning Helix... Boros Charm I changed with Bonesplitter to have the chance to turn Kitesail Apprentice in 4/2 turn 2 or make Boros Swiftblade hitting 6 by turn 3.

Not trying to critisise your deck too much, but I've heard a professional player say that cards like Angel's Feather were made for terrible players.
A better one (although still terrible) would be one of the staffs or Tablet of the Guilds
The tablet would be the better of the 2

xD

You can say what you want.. I am, actually, looking for suggestions..

The reason I've put Angel's Feather was that it's reasonably cheap and Ajani's Pridemate gains counters for each time you gain life, doesn't matter the amount, and since all cards in the deck are white or white/red, it would be helpful.

But I liked the card you suggested.. Same mana cost but I gain 2 life with the multicolored cards. Didn't know that one.

Thank you.

Glad to help
This way, your red spells also gain you life

I use Angel's Feather as well, each one has it's own good and bad thing. Good thing in angel's feather is that if your opponents uses white spells you get life too XD

I saw you commented on my black/red elemental, so i decided to return the favor (:
the two one drop cats are just not good enough for this deck and might be better replaced with a playset of lightning bolts or the red/white hybrid mana goblin which is a 2/1 with first strike, not to mention that guy would also build off balefire liege (:

Y're may talking about Boros Recruit.. But it's only 1/1, I considered putting it, but found more interesting cards (As Boros Swiftblade, Kitesail Apprentice, Cathedral Sanctifier, Bonesplitter, to have the chance to turn Kitesail Apprentice in 4/2 turn 2 or make Boros Swiftblade hitting 6 by turn 3, and Perimeter Captain for the sideboard).
Look up there the changes I made, maybe you have some other suggestions..

And it hurts my eyes as well (lol)...

Ty for the post, I'm following both of your "hot decks"...

maybe Dryad Militant instead of Savannah Lions and/or Isamaru, Hound of Konda

That could work. Also check out Boros Mastiff, it could help with Ajani's Pridemate

No Aurelia or Gisela, Glorious Anthem, Legions initiative, Path to exile, lightning bolt, or thundermaw hellkite?

About Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Aurelia; the Warleader; Thundermaw Hellkite.. I didn't want to have too much high-cost creatures. And I didn't want to have only-red creatures, to work better with Honor of the Pure, wich does the same of Glorious Anthem, only it costs 1 less and my creatures have to be at least white. But Gisela, Blade of Goldnight really fits in the deck. I guess I'll put it at the sideboard for now.

I considered Legion's Initiative, but found Honor of the Pure better. Since all my creatures are at least white, anyone get's +1/+1, this way, only-white creatures won't get only +0/+1.

Yeah.. Lighting bolt was suggested before... But, as I said, I think i'ts too overpowered, if I wanted a damage deck I would put four Vexing Devil, taht's even more overpowered. But I'm almost leaving that behind and getting some.
