Just thought I'd pop in and mention that Hero's Downfall is on the site. Nice deck!

Haha, you ninja'd me exactly as I posted that. Good timing. haha

Thanks Dritz, I just realized I hadn't changed that as I posted it in the featured queue.

I love this deck. I feel like Boros Reckoner isn't as strong post rotation as he has been currently. I would honestly think about running Merciless Eviction I would -3 Reckoner and +2 Merciless Eviction and +1 something else.

I understand where you're coming from with Blasphemous Act leaving and possibly a few other supporting cards, but he is still standing pretty strong. He can hold off aggro by blocking one of the creatures and redirecting the damage to another. He can kill anything he blocks, and take out other creatures with three toughness and come out unscathed. He is very powerful and I hesitate to remove him, even though what you say definitely holds some merit, he is working very well right now.

It's not just Act leaving but with even more destroy target cards available, he doesn't have a lot going for him. To each his own, but keep in mind Merciless Eviction will be the go to board wipe in Standard.

Yes, I see that Merciless Eviction is a good board wipe, especially because it exiles, but as of now, Anger of the Gods is serving me well in the sideboard. This could certainly change. I am considering replacing Banisher Priest , but this deck is not totally set in its ways yet. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll consider Merciless Eviction .

i would add Merciless Eviction bcuz i ran that instead of supreme verdict for a long time it worked great just wasnt early enough i played against a deck in FNM and it was ike a standard EGGS deck i hated it but i ran merciless eviction to remove artifacts it was amazing i really enjoy Merciless Eviction so i highly suggest running it

dentalflosstycoon I'm really enjoying how this deck is coming together. I think adding Anger of the Gods was a great choice seeing as how, the only creatures that can die from it from your list are Boros Reckoner and High Priest of Penance and if they do die due to Anger of the Gods then its a potential 2 for 1.

A couple of suggestions,

-2 Banisher Priest and +2 Chained to the Rocks It's much harder to get rid of an enchantment than the creature.

-1 Stormbreath Dragon and +1 either Archangel of Thune ,Blood Baron of Vizkopa or Obzedat, Ghost Council . Reason being because I don't see the dragon being beneficial unless you have 7 mana to dump into him. Also because by turn 6 or 7 you should be dropping Aurelia, the Warleader or winning.

i'd also side out one of the 5 drop creatures, add another one of them to the sideboard. This way depending on the match up you could always side in 2 thunes for the ghost daddys or the blood barons. Or any variation of that. Take whatever I say with a grain of salt. I am a fairly new player so maybe I don't see what you're trying to do.

Awesome deck though.

I really like this deck! Not so sure about its roots, but this BRW thing looks pretty solid.

Not sure about Banisher Priest or Ajani, Caller of the Pride in there. Are they pretty hard casts for 1WW? If you want top-quality walkers, Chandra, Pyromaster is probably just as easy to cast!

Personally I'd want Desecration Demon out for Seraph of the Sword , it's an easier mana-fix and a really decent creature in an adaptable role. Come for the Fog Bank, stay for the 3/3 evasion! She'll be great in most matchups; midrange decks will need to use lifelink now like this which she takes care of, great against aggro, and immune to red or green removal including the new red boardwipe... Her and then a Blood Baron on the field will win you games!

One more: Got an answer to Burning Earth ? Wear / Tear ?

The issue with Merciless Eviction is that it costs six mana. At six mana, I should already be in a good position and putting down a very threatening creature. It might be a good sideboard item though.

@iAtlasXIX I agree with removing the Banisher Priest . I'll probably make that switch for Chained to the Rocks . I am, however, going to leave Stormbreath Dragon in because a 4/4 haste flier is good in itself, but add in pro white and a late game mana sink and you have the makings of a replacement Thundermaw.I may be putting more five drops in the sideboard; the sideboard is much more of a work in progress than the mainboard.

@iceteademon The Banisher Priest s are gone. As for Seraph of the Sword , not a bad limited card, but she just doesn't cut it for standard constructed. Desecration Demon is a 6/6 flier and doesn't really even have to worry about the combat damage being dealt to him, and if they want to keep him at bay, they will be sacrificing a creature and pumping him up. Also, Desecration Demon does not die to Doom Blade , which is very commonly used removal. Also, I do like the idea of Wear / Tear as a sideboard item.

The only reason I'm a little dissuaded from Desecration Demon is that he doesn't work as a blocker. Not that he's not great on the offensive, he is - but against aggro he's not a reliable first play; you can sacrifice a creature to get him out of the way! When you're reliant on this dude as your second play, after only Boros Reckoner , I think there's something to be desired...

Seraph of the Sword was my first thought for a replacement; might be flawed though given a little more thought I realise his main plus would be blocking opponents' big fliers and he can't block Blood Baron of Vizkopa . Re-read it and he's only immune to combat damage, rather than general kinds of damage, to boot.

I assume you'll drop High Priest of Penance after a short while, that's why I think the 4-CMC slot is so crucial. He doesn nothing in so many matchups - more burn maybe?

Possibly some burn, but High Priest dissuades the opponent from attacking, and they usually end up wasting removal on him if they want to attack without me blowing up their best creature, and if they want to kill a 1/1 with their removal, that's fine with me, and then I'll play Desecration Demon afterwards and they're pissed that they didn't save their removal. I think for now, I'm going to leave the demon, but the priest is debatable.

I'm sure my fears are academic at best and practice will probably reveal them to be obsolete. I'm a big fan of this deck; nearly built it almost card-for-card after Dragon's Maze was printed, but for the fact that Thragtusk based midrange decks were better at the time. Looking forward to your reports from FnM, +1

Thank you very much, I will post the results from fnm, but I probably won't be going to any until October; I'm rather certain many theros cards will drop, so I'll save money and wait to buy.

Desecration Demon is one of the best four drops printed in Standard. He is simply a devastator against control, midrange, and mirror match ups. Sure they can tap him to get him out of the way but how many times can they do it? Plus, if they need more creatures on the field to sac then it will completely alter they're strategy of playing other spells. Every card has it's weakness, but that does not mean they should not be used.

He is definitely taking up the new four drop slot without so much competition.

i realized that you don't have any enchantment/artifact hate... how do you manage Burning Earth and similars? is Wear / Tear viable in sb?

Yeah, Wear / Tear is totally viable. I'm probably gonna put that in there.

Also, do you realize that you have 61 cards in MB? :P

Yeah, one card does not make enough of a difference for me to have to cut one from my mainboard. "They" say it does, but I almost never get screwed in terms of mana, whether is be flooded or the other way around.
