Upcoming Faction Tournament!!
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 2, 2011, 4:23 p.m. by DarkRain22
Hello, hello!
I am hoping to enter in this Saturday's Faction Tournament at the card shop down the street, and I am really in between deck ideas right now. I need some help!
The deck idea I want to use is as follows: -Artifacts -Molten-tail masticore (4x)
And that's basically it. See I'm trying to work with what I've got. And right now I'm thinking since I have 4 molten-tails, why not work off of that?!
So I've never put him in a deck before. I've only used Wurmcoil Engine in my online decks. So.. not used to knowing what is best in a Masticore deck.
The COLORS is what I'm having the most difficulty right now. I'm afraid to go with one when the other might be more suited for it-ya know?
I thought maybe it needs RED to do some more direct damage to the opponent and just follow up on that burn type of theme masticore dishes out. (Goblin Tunneler is part of the red cards I have pulled out right now.) My other color Idea is BLACK to Morbid Pluder some creatures back to my hand- (So I can keep discarding cards with Molten, and get them back to re-discard.
BLUE is the color I'm thinking will stick in the deck (So I'm thinking about running 2 colors in total.) Blue because I can draw cards with Vivesection - says "Draw 3 cards, sacrifice a creature". Furnace Celebration also works good with Vivesection. ... See what I mean!!! Really not to sure what to include/colors!!!!!
ANY and ALL feedback is very welcome. Thanks for your help in advance! :)

ALSO just realized Ish Sah is Phyrexian! Hm..
What about an Infect Black red or Black Blue deck with Molten-Tail Masticore ?? Add some Phyresis enchatments in there for Molten?
Jeez.. but Molten is Mirran. Maybe in a deck outside of Factions...
Well, does anyone know what sounds good to use? May just stick with Mirran for Molten and stay away from the darksiders.. Still need help!

If it's Mirran vs Phyrexian, at the pre-release phyrexia won the top 5 spots, but that was sealed. Constructed I dunno, probably R/W Battlecry.

molten tail has been used in mono red as kill end game i would recommend that because molten tail needs creatures in graveyard to use ability and by the time you drop them you got dudes in graveyard and they are at low life hopefully :P

I just realized that Morbid Plunder is Phyrexian. So, maybe black is out..?
Also- what if I had a Spine of Ish Sah and Rusted Slasher combo in here? Sacrificing an artifact also supporting the Furnace Celebration enchantment. ??
