Classic spellslinger Vial/Thrasios: A lot of ramp, with big spells as finishers. Also tried to include alternative costing spells as it's flavourful.

Ravnica Allegiance and Training Grounds! — Feb. 22, 2019
Edit

IN:

  • Biomancer's Familiar - Trying this out, but based on Training Grounds, I think this should be an auto-include in any Thrasios deck.

  • Birds of Paradise - My favorite mana dork. The art is too pretty.

  • Crop Rotation - Funniest combat trick ever. The classic is, of course, to get Maze of Ith to stop a devastating attack, but getting a Bojuka Bog to deny an opponent is just juicy. Sometimes, you just need to remove shroud with Arcane Lighthouse (which is an undervalued land). Glacial Chasm is also a good target, but it's too good for my meta at the moment.

  • Electrodominance - New card from RNA. Allows us to cast a spell at instant speed AND it's an X-spell; perfect for Vial Smasher.

  • Krosan Grip - Just a great card. The split second part of it is really nice to stop combo decks.

  • Torrential Gearhulk - Some more recursion on a nice body. Much cheaper to cast than Ancient Stone Idol. Flash is the main attraction here.

  • Training Grounds - Best card in this deck, seriously. It only costs 1 mana and makes Thrasios a win-condition. I've always struggled to use the activated ability of Thrasios because of the cost, and the first time I had this out it was amazing. So much value!

  • Wilderness Reclamation - Any card that untaps your lands is good in this deck. This is just amazing.

OUT:

  • Ancient Stone Idol - Too expensive. Not enough wide decks in my meta.

  • Grave Upheaval - Doesn't really fit the theme of the deck IMO.

  • Heroic Intervention - Usually don't have too many permanents to protect with this, as this is more of a spellslinger deck.

  • Karn's Temporal Sundering - Reducing extra turn spells in the deck; isn't really fun to play against. The only one left, Temporal Trespass, is on theme with Vial Smasher.

  • Lightning Greaves - Fits better in some of my other decks. There's no creature that I HAVE to keep alive to win the game.

  • Rakdos Charm - This is a good card, but I'd rather have something that targets anything and not just artifacts. There's also enough graveyard hate in my deck.

  • Sultai Charm - Too color restrictive. I'd rather have Krosan Grip.

  • Zhur-Taa Druid - Same as above, needing two colored mana is not worth the ping every turn. Also makes only a single green mana.
