[puimuri] I understand it was casual, but if he also mentions it as modern, wouldn't it be a casual modern play? so you still limit yourself? That's how I've done it, and that't why I didn't say anything about what was wrong with it. But if it is straight up casual, not sure how much Rite of Flame's are going for, but I'd try to get 4 of those for it.

iceburnhex Yes, i limit my self because i have very few friends that play the game and i dont have any localgamestore so i always order my cards from them and that's why it's casual. and i'll think about the Rite of Flame s, ~pui

I would run Gitaxian Probe instead of peak simply due to the phyrexian mana while comboing off.
October 16, 2014 2:40 p.m.
vintagebeard Gitaxian Probe would be an auto include but it's 2,60 at my LGS and this is supposed to be budget so i will think about that + my LGS is out of them atm

puimuri if you look around online at least you can get Gitaxian Probe around a dollar, sounds like your lgs overprices them mine sells at tcg mid or lower so i can get them for $1.50 and I consider that budget.

vintagebeard i KNOW that my lgs overprices everything even kithkin! and i live in finland so if i order 4 cards from say usa i have to pay too big shipping costs so i wont add them YET but because i was lucky and pulled a Brimaz, King of Oreskos from my fat pack of BNG i will wait and then sell it and get store credit so then i'll consider it but for now he's price is still rising.

derKochXXL go read the description, this deck is supposed to be played casually with friends not at a GP

Sorry, but you chose the format. There is a format hub for casual. Also Ponder got banned in modern because it made storm oppressive so this might even be relevant to the kitchen table. If not you should add Preordain which also got banned because it made storms top-deck control insane. Also concerning your description: It said you wouldn't play Past in Flames and then you do?
Sorry but it annoyed me that you presumed I hadn't read the description. Concerning actual advice I'd say try to get some Sulfur Falls they're not that expensive and can greatly help your consistency. I know the list is not budgety but maybe get some inspiration from 56 Terrible cards and 4 Manamorphose . It also utilizes the Goblin Electromancer and adds Pyromancer Ascension for extra spice.

derKochXXL to be honest, i chose the format to modern because that's what it would be if i would take it to the gs and play with it (of course would take the Ponder s out) the Past in Flames is a must, i was trying to play this deck without it and wasn't working too nicely so i added 1 in (have to still update the description) and Pyromancer Ascension and Sulfur Falls are wayyy too off my budget and as i said it is meant to be played casually so i dont want to invest too much money on these pieces of cardboard... Preordain yeah should be added and probably will. Thanks!

Preordain is also banned in modern according to Wizards, don't know how much you actually care though since this is just casual.

Stone_Munkee i care as much as you would care about a boy sitting on his computer typing a message to tappedout to some random guy.

so why not just keep Ponder since its just better?
October 21, 2014 9:10 a.m.
Stone_Munkee and Preordain is the second best so why not include it?

Wow, nice deck on a very reasonable budget. More mana fixing with Izzet Guildgate s? 1 or 2 Ground Rift for extra Storm Count? Overall, pure and unadulterated GENIUS!! +1
October 24, 2014 12:35 p.m.
Ancient_Sentinel wow thank you! Izzet Guildgate can't belive that it's not in there, ill put it there in a moment. Ground Rift no, there is just more important cards that that but yeah Izzet Guildgate will be there

I kinda want to say, drop 1 more mountain and island (since you only need 3 mana to play the deck really), and drop 1-2 Grapeshots because once you combo, you cast it twice its usually game, as well as if past in flames hits, you can now cast its 4 times. I'd add in 4 Gitaxian Probes or 4 Gutshots for the phyrexian burn to get free spells in so you aren't spending all your mana to keep on playing stuff.
October 26, 2014 1:27 a.m.
iceburnhex i tried it with Gutshots but i needed more draw so i removed them and the story with Gitaxian Probe is that it's kinda not budget and it's out of stock atm, though a playset is only about 10 at my lgs

How about Burning Inquiry then? Each player draws 3, discards 3 at random, and is only 1 red.
October 26, 2014 5:11 a.m.
iceburnhex hmm sounds interesting but Faithless Looting is 2 and 2 and you would give your opponent a way to filter his hand and you would gain a 1/1 profit so i dont think that's going to be included
