Deck Description

Played against a deck similar to this in the Grand Prix last weekend, barely beat it with Mono-Green Devotion. I thought it was really cool, though.

Deck discussion for Fire and death

The Phoenix won't be coming back too often like this... ...I'd rather drop all the Phoenix, 2 Chandra & all Anger for 2 more Elspeth, 3 Dreadbore & 3 Mizzium Mortars... ...that's a start.......

Here is my version though(pre-M15): http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/champion-of-the-desecrated/

...& here's a deck I'd love to have some feedback on, since it's still incomplete: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/ephara-mother-of-dragons/

Made some changes, including dropping the Phoenix, thanks for the suggestion.

I see... ...still no good... ...don't use Sign in Blood over Read the Bones!.. ...I'm not sure if Pack Rat is the right choise here... ...Chandra is just no good, may be one of her is nice, but no more... ...you need more Elspeth mainboard... ...how about some Banishing Lights?......

I prefer Blood over Bones... the scry is great, but that 1 extra mana can be really costly, especially if you're searching for a 2 drop removal spell / creature. I think you're right, Pack Rat isn't natural in this deck, however this type of deck tends to have a lot of dead cards in certain match ups, which works really well for Pack Rat. I think my opponent never had less than 3 cards sitting in his hand the whole time... with a creature like Pack Rat he could have done a lot more. Chandra, on the other hand, she's amazing! Being able to stop my opponents from blocking while simultaneously bringing the game in a little closer each turn... excellent. Plus being able to have virtual card advantage with her 0 ability is quite useful in a deck without a lot of scry.

Ultimately I think this deck is nifty, just not great... probably why we don't see it too often in tournament play.

When Theros just came out, Oros midrange was a popular deck type... ...they used Boros Reckoner, Whip of Erebos, Bloood Baron, Obzedat, Desecration Demon & Stormbreath Dragon... ...I on the other hand didn't use Reckoner, nor Whip... ...rather more discard & removal effects + more Read the Bones(the lifegain in the deck compensated me for Thoughtseize & Read the Bones & I also used Archangel of Thune.......

...but with Ravnica going out, I understand it's harder to make this type of deck competative if you're trying to make it rotation-friendly...
