Last Minute Changes for FNM!!!
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on July 19, 2015, 1:54 a.m. by TeeKayBee
So I want to go to FNM with my U/R Burn/Midrange deck, I've got the remaining cards to it ordered. I'll be going on the 31st and my cards should be in around the 28th. Here it is: U/R Time's Ticking. It would help me a lot if I could get feedback before I go please! :D
Also if the cards are already order I don't know what good making changes now will do since you won't get them in time.

Thanks for the advice guys, you were a lot of help. Maybe next time don't comment unless you actually want to help. Btw, I could have bought them at the store.

Don't make vague pointless posts and then get upset when everyone doesn't flock to help you

Since xlaleclx and abenz419 are being dicks unnecessarily and just finding something to comment on to up their T/O rank since they probably have no clue how to help anyways, I'll give you some tips on what I see without changing too much of your deck.
I would try and use as many Dissolve over Dissipate and Cancel as possible. Dissolve is strictly better than Cancel and the scry is nice. You can always save Dissipate for sideboard in case you run into someone using graveyard shenanigans But since it's more expensive, I understand the spread that you have.
Since you don't have many creatures that will be over 4 power, Ashcloud Phoenix may be a better bet, especially since it can help whittle down your opponent's life. But the haste on flamewake might be nice. All depends on your play style.
4x Negate may also be a little much so I suggest sideboarding 2x of them and mainboarding 2x Stoke the Flames. It will help for win conditions and you can always side Negate back in if you see you're against an opponent with a more spell heavy deck.
Those are just little tweaks that I see and I like it! This week I'll also be running a U/R deck for the first time in 9 months so I'll see how it goes lol. Best of luck.

OP_Magikarp Thank you for the advice, I will do the Negate for Stoke the Flames that you suggested. I have been doing some playtesting and at one point I had 4 Negates in hand. It was awful. I know that Dissolve is the much better card, but like you said there is money issues. I have actually won a match where 2 Flamewake Phoenixs widdled down my opponents life total. Spellheart Chimera has gotten as big as a 7/3 for me. That's why it is so effective in this deck. Sometimes I waste spells just to get it bigger to win. Thank you for the help, and good luck in your matches.

I like how you call me a dick while clearly being antagonistic.
Also, nobody cares about T/O rating...
