OminousRex if I go the Chandra, Flamecaller route I may as well put Hanweir Garrison + Hanweir Battlements in as well. Which I now have.

Guardians I like the Mirror Gallery suggestion, but my judges are pretty sharp.

I'll keep it in mind for if I decide to change this for Modern.

Guardians it seems only right for me to also add Cascading Cataracts to the Sideboard as well.

I'm surprised Nicol Bolas isn't in the side! Nothing like art showing the God-Pharoh cozied up with a nice book!

Except that's not the REAL God-Pharaoh Jimmy_Chinchila

Argeaux I'm pretty sure the fact of the matter is that the God-Pharoah has gone to a few beauty salons in its time, and gone on a bit of a diet :)

Hey, love your deck! I played it a few times... But I was wondering, how do you do the nicknames for cards? Like in the joke about the "Actual God-Pharaoh"

ACDAMAN Eager Construct is not something that I joke about.

You write the real name of the card then put | then the name you want to call it.

No spaces.

mynameismawky good call on Captain's Claws.

Last time I checked I had no facial hair.

I try to use gender neutral language on TappedOut, as not everyone here is male.

I am not your wife.

As much as you'd like it to be gender neutral, the word is a masculine pronoun.

You might refer to your wife as "man" to be cute, that is between you and her, but it is offensive to refer to women that way in a lot of countries.

Think about how jarring it would be for someone to constantly refer to you as girl, if you can be bothered.

I use the throne in a servos/improvise deck I've been working on... no-one expects that combo, but it can work really well.

DragonEleven it's amazing in just about any Creature-based deck, particularly ones that also use Exert.

It works well in my Amonkhet Minotaurs

With the artifact hate from Fragmentize By Force and just plain hate from Cast Out, the throne will be basically useless, and the opponent would still have the ability to get rid of Rai quickly along with the profane prince himself. The deck is good, but the Artifact hate is strong

I was thinking more of a ramp styled deck built around walking ballisra and big creatures using throne to give damage for my mana dorks and exert creatures

Forestxavier20 BLASPHEMY!!

Out with the unbeliever!!

4x Dispel and 4x Negate added, to keep the infidels at bay.

Bass_f13nd no God-Pharaoh?

Instafail.

Not Blasphemy, just truth. The hatred for artifacts is so real, that anyone running a Boros deck will be able to wreck if properly sideboarded. Violent Impact is another hate card, which can destroy the profane prince before he is summoned. The deck is good, but in this standard, the artifacts can go down so quickly, and there is a chance of losing everything to the exiles. Demolish has the same effect. Destroy and exile can't be countered forever.

Forestxavier20 you don't check out your profile much, do ya?

Blasphemer.

PS. Hardly anyone ever runs those Land and Artifact destruction cards. They've been in Standard forever.

Argeaux, in response to your response on Bass_f13nd's comment, how dare you say that The God-Pharaoh is not a big creature! It has 2 whole points of power, and 2 whole points of toughness. When I was in kindergarten, even I could not add those two numbers together. And with Cryptolith Rite, even the God-Pharaoh could be a mana dork.

P.S. I hope this doesn't sound rude, sorry if it does, I don't mean it that way.

Forgive me, initiate, I have sinned against the great God-Pharaoh who IS INDEED big, mighty, and strong.

Praise be!!

PS. Apologising is for the weak. Don't let it happen again!

I totally said ve damage from throne for my mana dorks and exert creatures. I cant agree with you more that throne is tge most underrated card in amonkhet.

Calispotato there will be no match report for this deck, unless someone is dumb enough to play it in a tournament!

May 18, 2017 2:26 p.m.

I just wish my serious builds could ever get as much recognition as even your silly ones do...

Jimmy_Chinchila timing your deck cycles is key, as is timing your features.

Also, if people recognise that you build interesting decks they are more likely to check them out.

May 18, 2017 6:18 p.m.

I never thought of timing, usually just do it when on a break lol
