Ok so I'm up to 12 one drops with plenty of spot removal. I feel pretty good about this. What do you think I should put a 3 of in the sideboard to replace push? Keep liliana or do you think there's something more effective? Maybe another damnation, maelstrom pulse, and Fulminator Mage?

Yeah dude that deck is starting to look nice, Molten Rain in the sideboard. Just fill your sideboard with hate cards to the meta decks. Exile stuff for dredge, land destruction for Tron, Shatterstorm for affinity, board wipes for decks that go wide on you, and enchantment removal like Nature's Claim

Sweet,sound really good man. Keeping Pithing needle though, like you i love that card!

Dreadbore is a worthwhile card too in the sideboard. its a good backup if someone destroys the pithing needle.

Molten Rain is good but I feel like your deck would benefit far more from Crumble to Dust instead.
Boil and Flashfires could be worthy of SB slots depending on what your meta looks like.
Then there is the tried and true Fulminator Mage.

You might want 1 Anger of the Gods in the sideboard but other than that I think you have a good deck here!

Crumble is a good card too, you could go 1 of each of those.

Will run a one of crumble and anger, thanks guys!

GreenisGod I've been playtesting the deck with -2 Grim Flayer, +1 Faithless Looting, +1 Griselbrand and I'm getting Vengeance into Griselbrand early more consistently. So there's a tradeoff of early pressure but I just don't get the +2/+2 proc early enough on flayer anyway since I don't have nearly enough discard for that.

Yeah you also only run 4 spell types so it's kind of difficult to get the flayer off, you may want to try bloodghasts instead

RitchieRich757 says... #14
I don't know how much I like bloodghast as only a 2 of here compared to my ability to fire off griselbrand early more consistently

Yeah you would probably want 4, not worth it, that's why I passed on him in mine too, at least for now. I like the look now, you may find that you need more hand disruption but I think you have a good deck here. You could go to 23 lands for another Inquisition or a Thoughtseize, Kolaghan's Command has been one of my best cards because of its utility.

RitchieRich757 says... #16
Wow I think im going to run a one of Kolaghan's Command for utility. Will take out a Raging Ravine and just have a one of of it. Good suggestion!

Yeah I forgot about it earlier but it saved me last night, such a good card.
March 3, 2017 10:20 a.m.
RitchieRich757 says... #18
I can see why, I'm gonna playtest with 3 commands and 1 fatal push. Gonna see if I get more utility out of that.
March 3, 2017 10:46 a.m.
GolgariGreenthumb says... #19
It all depends on your mana curve, I think you have a low enough one that you could afford to put 3 in there. Its just a card that when its in your hand, you feel a little safer.
March 3, 2017 11:31 a.m.
RitchieRich757 says... #20
I agree, it has much more utility than Fatal Push so better versatility for different situations.
March 3, 2017 12:54 p.m.
GolgariGreenthumb says... #21
You could probably go down to 3 faithless lootings and keep 2 fatal push. Looting has flashback so you really don't need 4, especially since you have other ways to rid yourself of Grisel. Fatal push is so damn good, especially when you have so many fetches, you can always hit that revolt.

GreenisGod what did your friend say about the deck?
March 4, 2017 1:59 a.m.
GolgariGreenthumb says... #24
Same thing he said he with my deck, make sure you have enough hand disruption. The best of which is lili of course, but you could run a few thoughtseize for sure. The issue is, where I don't need anything like goryos to get my offense going, because I play pyromancers for a lot of my offense, I need more instants and sorceries than you. After modern masters forces Lilis price down, we both need to find room for her, she wins games on her own, just too good to not have 3 of her at least.
GolgariGreenthumb says... #1
yep, and because of his 1+* toughness, he'll always be slightly stronger than the flayer.
