Opinions for last FNM in this standard
Deck Help forum
Posted on Jan. 25, 2014, 5:21 p.m. by CW
So I need opinions for the last FNM in this standard, I have 2 decks that I can take and I just want some opinions on what to take.
In the Izzet League this is called Shock Blocking
is the first which is a Young Pyromancer boros control
and
is the second which is a more midrange-y control with mainboarded Anger of the Gods
Boros seems a bit more gimicky with Path of Bravery + pyromancer and Assemble the Legion tokens, and dega seems a bit more stable if I can get the correct mana.
Thoughts?
Path of Bravery and Spear of Heliod make the pyromancer into a pseudo-Master of Waves , while Path of Bravery makes use of all the 1/1 solders and 1/1 elementals for some life, and counters the Jace, Architect of Thought +1, but yeah I like the dega a bit more, and the guildgates work fine, I have absolutely no turn 1 plays so one coming in tapped doesn't matter and by turn 3 I should be killing a creature every turn, they'll run out of creatures before I run out of kill spells or I just toss out a fattie and force em to go on the defensive.

True...only really saw/thought about the Chained to the Rocks . I really like both ideas actually. Either way that you choose, good luck!

Stick to what works if you have been winning. If you haven't been play this R/W Manswer's and show em!

Think your Dega deck will be too slow, mainly because of the landbase. You definitely need all the shocks, and even then it's held back a bit because it's missing some of the Temples that are coming out in BNG (Temple of Malice ) instead of guildgates.
Your izzet deck seems a bit held back because the 7 enchantments are kind of counterintuitive for a Young Pyromancer build...but they're obviously good enchantments.
Personally I like the Dega deck.
