Cool deck +1

Check out mine! Feel free to give suggestions

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/20-08-14-rw-heroic-aggro/

So this is what happend Friday:

• Round 1 bye :-(
• Round 2 G/W/R-Aggro - essentially Purphoros, God of the Forge , Burning-Tree Emissary , Archangel of Thune and some (flying) Tokens. First game Mulligan to 6 and then played with only one land what was a clear mistake. Lost quickly. Second game Mulligan to 5 ... still brought him to 1 life before losing again. Not saying I could've won this, as he was a far more experienced player and took first place in this FNM as well. Leason learned: Deck is pretty inconsistent.
• Round 3 G/R-Aggro - Rabble-Red with green splash something. Won 2/1 in a close match. Got called 'Rogue-Deck' ;-(
• Round 4 another G/R-Aggro - Rabble-Red with green splash something. Lost 1/2 in a close match. Leason learned: Vulnerable to removal in aggro vs. aggro.

Things I changed:

• 2 Eidolon of Countless Battles and 2 Battle Mastery removed.
• Added one more Fabled Hero as I lack creatures that threaten on their own and I had that one at hand.
• 3 Ajani's Presence mainboarded to handle targeted removal on my pumped heroics.
• 3 Ordeal of Heliod into sideboard, to get an edge in damage-races vs. other aggro-decks.

I've been very pleased so far, with what my (post-rotation!) deck could achieve in a very competetive environment. I'll try to further improve this, while maybe setting up some other decks I can switch to. Thinking of mono-black-control and u/w-heroic, as my local meta seems to be aggro-heavy.

Thanks for all the support and advice! I'm still open for suggestions.

More changes:

Sideboard:

2 Glare of Heresy out (rarely used), 2 more Deicide in.

Mainboard:

3 Akroan Skyguard out, 3 more Favored Hoplite in - strictly better, evasion on Skyguard feels redundant due to spells and auras.

Hey, awesome deck. I may sound like a fool, but I think that the red in the deck isn't that necessary. Not only does it cause land problems, but the spells that white provide are much better. Surely there are other good white cards that can fit in this deck. And also, why did you take out the Akroan Skyguard s out? Although I don't play in competitions much, I think that having flying is extremely strong.

Hey buddy!

I took Akroan Skyguard out, because his evasion felt somewhat obsolete / redundant due to Hammerhand , Gods Willing and the removal that comes with Ordeal of Purphoros and Fall of the Hammer .

Getting blocked felt less of a problem, than waiting another round until I could play my creature or having a mana open once I did so, to protect or pump it.

As for my color-choice: I have another experimental deck running in u/w ->

I think mono-white just lacks power. You don't get most opponents to a point, where they need to drop their gameplan in order to deny yours.From all color-combinations that I tried, Boros seemed to be the most aggressive, most synergetic so far.

Red brings the brute force that white is lacking, white brings the protection / anti-removal that red doesn't have ...

xoshi827 I also found what regnitteo is saying to be true about Akroan Skyguard It is more important to get your guys out early and buff them asap while having the mana to protect them open and skyguard was intuitive to this which is why i removed him from my heroic deck as well.

counter intuitive*

Ok. I still think a pure white deck is good because I have a card called Phalanx Formation and it's pretty good turn 3 and I found that you don't need as many land cards because they're all going to be white. I dunno, I'm just gonna wait till the new set comes out and see what to mix white with :)

why not run Battle Mastery over your Phalanx Formation

Because I prefer not using Hero of Iroas because I don't find the white enchantments to be useful except for Battle Mastery .

He reduces the cost of all enchantments not just white...
