Re: Xenagos, God of Revels
For inspiration, check out my deck at: https://deckbox.org/sets/2357549 . As others previously mentioned, a good ramp package is super important . You really want to cast Zenagos ASAP to ensure as much damage as possible before others can setup their defenses. I run 13 spells for this purpose and th...

Re: First, Hit Your Land Drops (draft essay)
In my Zurgo deck, I have 11 mana rocks + 36 lands to ensure he charges out of the gates ASAP, and it works wonders. Initially, this was to ensure I get back on top after using some MLD spells, but I took those out after awhile (not because players complained, but rather because I didn't really need ...

Re: Greven, Predator Captain - No Pain No Gain
Hi Darren, just a quick mention about my deck since my last message. So far it has won most of the games I played! It took me some getting used to in the beginning (mostly about the initial hand and mulliganing, then setting everything up for Greven's Grand Entrace ), but since then, I noticed that ...

Re: Greven, Predator Captain - No Pain No Gain
Hi again! The game last night was a complete blast, it went much better than I expected! It had such high (and low) moments... The latest deck updates worked like a charm by lowering the mana curve tremendously and thus making the deck tick like a well oiled machine. A few mistakes were made (one th...

Re: Greven, Predator Captain - No Pain No Gain
Wow, once again thanks so much for all the help!!! I feel almost uncomfortable for all the time you have spent so far .... :) FYI, my LGS has finally lowered their prices so I placed an order this morning. I have decided to acquire some of the more expensive cards (I have splurged quite a bit, by s...

Re: Greven, Predator Captain - No Pain No Gain
Hi Darren, Once again many thanks for the input, I have since refined the deck and playtested it. So far, Greven can either charge out like a madman, which is great, or durdles for a while trying to get some traction. I noted that this is often due to the lack of fast mana, or sometimes because I ca...

Re: Greven, Predator Captain - No Pain No Gain
Thanks so much for the insight, it has helped me a lot. Since your last comment, I have spent a lot of time trying to build a version of mine. Can you take a few minutes and review my current deck version at https://deckbox.org/sets/2516513 . I know some cards are not optimal, but I am trying to use...

Re: Greven, Predator Captain - No Pain No Gain
Hey, thanks so much for the suggestions, much appreciated. Just curious, why aren't you using cards which give Infect to help get some additional ways to eliminate players? Is this because your meta frowns upon such a strategy? On another note, why not use Warstorm Surge , is it too slow? What about...

Re: Greven, Predator Captain - No Pain No Gain
Hi, I have read your primer and thanks to you, I now want to build this deck. However, I don't have the money to spend to acquire all the expensive cards. Would you have the time to propose a budget alternative, especially for the mana rocks? On the other hand, have you thought about maybe using the...

Re: how often do you play Magic?
I play every Thursday night with my friends... Multiplayer, EDH and now Oathbreaker. This has been going on for over 15 years! Still, I wish I could fit another night, I am somewhat addicted to this game!

Re: Which Orzhov Commander should I choose?
Gotta say Karlov has had an amazing career so far for me, as a Voltron build. He's quick and can get out of hand rather easily just by gaining life (soul sisters and all).
