Need help on deciding which deck to play this FNM
Deck Help forum
Posted on Nov. 27, 2013, 7:17 p.m. by DrLitebur
I have not played in a FNM in about 2 months due to a recent knee surgery, but I am going to try to go back this week. I am thinking on playing one of two decks, and I'd like some help in deciding which deck to play. Can I get a few fellow players to playtest these decks against their own, and give me some results and let me know what you would change or work with?
The decks I'd like to have you try out are these decks:
Three will getcha Twenty
Heroic Enchantments
Thank you in advance, and I look forward to your help, ideas, and your feedback.
The Doctor: What do you recommend I take out in order to play the Fanatic of Mogis ?

Foundry Street Denizen . Also if you have the shrine, use them.

The Doctor: I do not have a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx . I decided that it might be best to run 4x Boros Guildgate as I do not have any Sacred Foundry either. That way, I can take out the 2x Chromatic Lantern from the sideboard, and add in an Electrickery and another Peak Eruption .

I don't see why you would run any shock lands when you're running a mono-colored deck.

Don't add Fanatic of Mogis to the red deck, play it as it is. A mainboarded Dynacharge may be a good include as a finisher. But Fanatic won't do much if you don't have a lot of devotion cards. He's still good, but won't release his full potential, which is disappointing. And I'm not sure about the Chromatic Lantern and Boros Charm in the side, but if it works, kudos! It feels like it might be a little slow.

Except that he WILL have a lot of devotion. At least 6 when it hits the field.

Ok after play testing both i say go red, i made some suggestions on both decks, but your red deck played very well

The Red deck is better. Your U/W deck needs more polishing before it gets there, but once it dose you will want to play it since it's amazing and really, really fun!

The Doctor, MaliciousMac, billmartin98, Jojja: I want to thank all of you for your advice and for taking the time to try the decks out, or to at least look at them. I made a few slight tweaks to my deck Three will getcha Twenty which include swapping out the 2x Arena Athlete and a Dragon Mantle for 2x Young Pyromancer and 1x Gore-House Chainwalker . I thought the extra creatures, and the tokens created by the Pyromancer might help tip the game(s) in my favor, and the Gore-House Chainwalker unleashed could help as a smasher for 1R.

There is no reason you should have a single of Gore-House Chainwalker . Unless it's in your opening hand, it will not change the game.
I'd really like to stress the importance of Fanatic of Mogis . This obviously isn't possible for your deck, but this is what happens quite often with RDW, and nonetheless he will still be a powerhouse.
Turn One : Land, Firedrinker Satyr .
Turn Two : Land, Burning-Tree Emissary . Burning-Tree Emissary , Firedrinker Satyr . Swing 2 with Satyr. 18 Life.
Turn Three : Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx . Use Shrine ability. Cast Ash Zealot , followed by Fanatic of Mogis . They take 9 from burn. 9 Life. Swing out for 10.
Game.

I understand the mechanics of that kind of deck, but I do not have any Firedrinker Satyr cards, and I stated why I do not really like the card in my opening statement of the deck. I could put in BTEs, but I think the RG is not going to really help unless I have either more of them, or something that has a colorless in its casting cost. I also do not have a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , although I might think about finding one or two sometime soon. I might find one tomorrow in trading...depends if they want an arm and a leg for it. But anyways...
Yeah, I understand your point.

Add Fanatic of Mogis to the red deck, then play that.
