Some more changes. —Feb. 1, 2015

Took out some cards to make some place for what people suggested me.

4x Demigod of Revenge as finishers. I really did't think about this card when I made the deck, the weakness was that I missed a real finisher in this deck.. Sun Titan sure does some work but it's only 1x, sometimes you burn them to death but Lightning Bolt is really there as removal. I think demigod is what was missing here from the start!

Flagstones of Trokair+Boom / Bust combo added. I loved this suggestion I just didn't think it was very viable in the deck at the time, but now, along with other changes i fund a way to put it in the deck.

Sowing Salt moved to the sideboard, very powerful effect but as a 4 cost removal I just want to play it where it really matters, against decks with greedy mana bases or decks that have some "key" lands to have in play, like Tron.

Took out Lingering Souls. I love the card but in this deck is just better to blow some lands up turn 3 rather than play lingering souls.

Kinda surprised at the lack of Smallpox. Also, Crackling Doom is good sideboard tech against Bogles.

I hesitate to include Boom/Bust because it destroys my lands too, it is true that if i manage to sac a Flagstones of Trokair with it i can also get shocks which is nice... but idk, seems a bit unreliable to me :/

I don't like Ghost Quarter in this deck because all it does is get rid of a good land for a worse one and I have enough ways to just get rid of it :P

The trick is you use the boom half of Boom/Bust and target a fetchland or ghost quarter you control, than stack on the trigger to either sac that fetchland (you lose no land) or the ghost quarter (again, you are still on the upside for this exchange)

Just thought I'd mention it :)

Yes yes I got that xD, the point is that my mana base is really greedy, I only play 6 fetches... As i said, I like the "combo" but I'm hesitant to put it in because given my mana base, I think it could be a bit unreliable..

GoblinBushwacker Fulminator Mage is just better, the riders are kind of a worse Molten Rain since it costs 1 more mana and basically does the same thing.

I like the deck... Why Hero's Downfall over Dreadbore?

January 27, 2015 3:15 a.m.

zossthunder I know Fulminator Mage is better, i never said to take him out. Cards like Helldozer and Sun Titan are just to slow for this deck however. I would suggest cutting Lingering Souls for the riders as you already have enough to do on turn 3. Finally cut your big fatties like Helldozer and Sun Titan for Demigod of Revenge

Ryotenchi Mainly it was just because i had them, and it's instant speed :P

GoblinBushwacker Helldozer can be cut anytime, i don't like it that much either, Sun Titan is something i want to keep just because is a huge fatty that can bring me back a Fulminator Mage every turn, I could try getting rid of the Lingering Souls and the Helldozer for a playset of Demigod of Revenge at that point i could maybe remove the Lavaclaw Reaches too and maybe use some more fetches or the Flagstones of Trokair thingy that someone else suggested, do you think that could be a good idea?
