Fixing Up Black Red Zombies

Posted by: | Comments (0)


I had to admit, my current Zombie aggro burn list sucks. A few of my creature choices are somewhat a mistake. Highborn Ghouls just dies to Tragic Slip, Cemetery reaper is just very vulnerable, and Falkenrath Aristocrat can’t even go past Spirit Tokens Read More→

As we all know and aware of in the current Standard (unless you are living under a rock), Blue White Humans has been one of the top decks in the meta. Even with the popularity of the other archetype in its colors (the Delver Blade), it is still the deck choice of most players who’d want to play aggro. Read More→

While on the plan to eat last night at the Mongolian buffet at Centennial Hotel, I decided to bring with me a pocket notebook and a pen as to note down some things while enjoying the food. As my nature being a Magic card addict, I’ve decided to work on some more deck ideas for the current Standard. Read More→

Deck Tech: U/W Shrine Control

Posted by: | Comments (0)


Shrine of Loyal Legions is the new Squadron Hawk. Yes, that is my current theory (or those things that pops on your mind out of nowhere). After trying out the artifact in Green White Tokens, I immediately knew its potential, waiting to be explored in Standard. Read More→

It has been awhile since we had our deck for the week so I decided to bring it back, this time during Fridays. Hopefully, I can sneak a post for it in my sked. For this week, I’ll feature the deck that got 1st place in the Cruise Qualifier in Indianapolis, Indiana last March 29. It is a control deck based on the color of the Grixis shard (Blue-Black-Red) with the almost forgotten Demigod of Revenge as the bad a$$ beater and win condition. Here’s the decklist piloted by Matt Owens. Read More→

Hey guys. You may be wondering what the decklist will look like based on the deck name I mentioned above. Well, it is actually the creation of a Brazilian MTG player named Sávio Freixiela and he finished 7th place in the 2º Super Standard Tournament in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. The deck is a typical Merfolks build, except that it has burn for removal. Savio fixed the mana by adding Vivid Creek and Cascade Bluffs to have access to red and be able to splash Ajani Vengeant in the deck. Also, it has three copies of Incinerate in the main and three Vithian Stingers in the sideboard. Check out the decklist below.
