@Felixlives

Thanks for the input as im always willing to accept new ideas to try and improve my deck.

I dont really see how Banisher Priest is better than Chained to the Rocks . The only advantage i can see is that it is an actual creature and not an enchantment. In my experience i have ran into alot more destroy creature cards than actual destroy enchantment cards and the fact that Chained to the Rocks cost 2 less mana sets it over the top.

As far as Swift Justice and Madcap Skills ther is no comparison i would say that bar none Madcap Skills is by far superior. Swift justice only lasts one turn where madcap lasts until the enchantment or creature are destroyed and removed from the battlefield. And now you will need to block me with 2 creatures instead of one. Madcap Skills combined with Soldier of the Pantheon turn two means i coming in for 5 damage turn 2. Or even more lethal than that is Fiendslayer Paladin and Madcap Skills for a 5/2 first strike, lifelinker thats immune to red and black spells.

Looks fun for sure. I have always wanted to assemble the cards to make a fun R/W deck. +1 for originality and playing a deck besides the over done controls and G/W Aggro!

Ok if anyone can help im trying to find a way to get rid of threats like Blind Obedience whic i believe the only way is either Glare of Heresy of Wear / Tear .

Also if you guys can help me find a way to deal with Erebos, God of the Dead that would be great, thanks guys!

Blind Obedience stopped me from playing Spark Trooper that sucked lol

You can chained to the rocks erebos but only if he is a creature.

Namron88 says... #8

Yeah blid obedience is a definite stop to aggro try Ratchet Bomb to have an additional answer for it as for erebos the only way to get rid of him with these colors is chained to the rocks unless you splash blue or green for cards like Detention Sphere or Fade into Antiquity

Had the same idea as well. Great minds think alike.

+1

Right now the only thing that could deal with the gods in standard is either mass removal like Merciless Eviction , or targeted removal like Chained to the Rocks , which only works if he is a creature. As of right now, in standard the only card that exiles enchantments is Angelic Edict , which is ludicrously expensive.

@TheDiregrafOverlord

haha! thanks man i really appreciate it! ill be testing this deck at fnm tomorrow, so wish me luck bro and ill keep you guys updated on how it goes!

@CapnSlinky

thanks for your suggestions dude, i might have to sideboard it because 5 mana is alot of mana to use, but if my opponent pops Erebos, God of the Dead then its completely worth it!.

thanks to all of you for your suggestions, keep em coming!

@morganbro09

Thanks for the +1 dude I really appreciate it! And yes that sounds like it would be awesome!

i think you should switch the Magma Jet s for Lightning Strike s as 3 damage can kill so much more in the current meta, otherwise cool deck.

@ Emyr

Yha I did that originally but after quite a bit of play testing the power of scry 2 can be amazing dude

I do appreciate your input tho, and if I'm missing something I'll be glad to share ideas

Warleader's Helix may not be a bad card for this deck. It triples as a burn or removal and life gain. 4 mana is expensive, but for 2 abilities, both of which fit your theme, I would at least give it some consideration. Nice deck though, I like it!

andiamo23 says... #19

@corythackston

Yah I had that card in my deck but the 4 mana was a killer dude, it was just too much

But a +1 would be great lol!

October 12, 2013 2:39 a.m.

NerdPounder says... #20

Lol, sure why not at least it's not a run of the mill deck... see what I did there?

Would you consider swapping Angelic Edict with Celestial Flare or Glare of Heresy ? Here me out; Heresy gets Voice of Resurgence just fine, and as a bonus, Elspeth as well, and Celestial Flare will often deactivate or kill a pesky god as well, and it's WW and instant speed to boot. Glare is expensive, and almost seems redundant with Chained to the Rocks as well. Firemane Avenger is hard to trigger, but might be worth playtesting; triggering it with Archangel of Thune in play would be just brutal. If I were you, I might replace some Zealots with Legion Loyalist as well, and try to squeeze in a Chandra, Pyromaster if you can afford it.

Felixlives says... #25

I agree about adding Legion Loyalist potentially giving all your dudes firststrike and trample is amaising not to mention cannot be blocked by token creatures
