Anyone for some playtests?
Deck Help forum
Posted on Feb. 7, 2014, 8:33 p.m. by TrystonSpencer
I know this is already an existing forum but i would like to start doing the same thing. So if anyone is interested I will post a play by play. I am not going to sideboard so neither will you if I playtest your deck I assure you I will play it out fairly and this is just for the improvement of my deck and if you would like I will make some suggestions on yours.

You could try your hand against something super aggressive of mine (list hasn't been changed to reflect my recent changes but it's still a kick ass deck)

flyguy I hate to not give the full report of what happened but i saved it all to google drive but tryed to copy it and it deleted the whole thing I can sum up what happened thou. So basically game 1 you were completely wrecking my aggro creatures up till turn 3 with Abrupt Decay but you got no more land eventually getting Lotleth Troll up too an 6/5 but by the time you got that up that far I had a Underworld Cerberus that you couldn't block. So I won this game but basically just because you didn't get the land. you definently had the creatures in hand but I kept having to discard them for Lotleth Troll
Game 2 I won again but it was up till turn 14 we kept blasting each others creatures with you eventually getting out Sylvan Primordial and Whip of Erebos and Sylvan Caryatid being one Plains short from your Angel of Serenity which would of literally ended the game.. because I had at the time of your Sylvan Primordial a Mogis, God of Slaughter Desecration Demon and Rakdos Shred-Freak with Madcap Skills which wouldn't of been a problem until you didn't get the Plains which literally gave you only the option at 2 life too sacrifice Sylvan Caryatid to stay alive from mogis Whip of Erebos Pack Rat and turning Angel of Serenity into Pack Rat swinging for 11 bumping you up too 13 which would of been fine had I not drawn Herald of Torment twice in a row and bestowing them on Mogis, God of Slaughter and Rakdos Shred-Freak swinging in for 14, I would rate your deck 10/10 its awesome, I just got lucky. Im sorry I couldn't post the whole thing I tryed to recover but that wasn't working either. Our second game was crazy close you left me at 8 life. If you want me to redo it with full report I will.

Honestly I liked both your decks I apologize for only playing them both once but your second deck is really awesome I think just bad draws and lack of mana and our first game was good but really I felt it was a little slow it was awesome but just a little too slow I loved both and would rate your first deck 9/10 and your second 10/10

TrystonSpencer -thanks so much for the testing and the comments on my decks. When it comes to card draws on these decks a bad draw will kill them but most of the time they play out quite well. The Ping deck is a lot of fun to play.
I have made some adjustments to the Dimur deck to give it a little more milling and speed so I will see how that goes at the next game night.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the game! Your deck looks great.
Lotleth Troll is the cornerstone of this deck, so normally, I always save at least one black to regen, even if it means a turn late (like in game one), and I only discard cards eot and as combat tricks. I would never block with it without one black unless it was lethal coming my way.
Also, I almost never hardcast my fatties- I prefer to just bury them then whip them out (which I noticed you never did in game two- For example, game two, I would keep the troll instead of the primordial when casting Jarad's Orders . I would just whip out the primordial instead of hardcasting it (and attack and gain 6), then searched for a Temple Garden for that white mana). I rarely hardcast mini guys, too.

Awesome. Thanks for that. I love seeing outsiders pilot my decks. I do have to mention though on your first game you played BTE into Zealot which actually can't be done due to the RR but in that game it didn't matter much lol.
