The bad list keeps on winning cuz everyone is going merfoz and fae

if it can beat 2 of the most played decks the list cant be that bad ;)

by kfcman on 2008-05-11 20:21 MDT

yea i've heard bein able to consistently beat two of the better tier 1 decks is pretty good.

i mean, im not training for the olympics or anything, so i could be wrong...

HOW TO FIGHT WITH RG GFFS AGRO DECK ??

WARTH 9 DAMNATION CAN TAKE AFFECT ?

by BusDriver on 2008-05-11 21:03 MDT

The deck is a good choice for the meta, the list is bad.

Why is the list bad?

Kavu predator md: how many decks run aven riftwatcher or kitchen finks md? It looks to me like a sb card at best as long as you are not running justice. Keldon marauders is an excellent replacement that is also easier on your mana. Groove of the burnwillows might boost this guy, but if he's not on the table, this land is going directly against ur game strategy.

Crusher>ramgang: Crusher seems so much weaker imo. This deck doesn't really abuse him (xept for gargadon, but he seems like a bad choice again, cuz every tier 1 deck has alot of chumpers and fae often run terror now). Haste is a great advantage for this deck, cuz even when ramgang gets killed, he often has done his 3 dmg, which is a good deal. Wither is also very nice, as it doesn't neutralize this creature when bigger guys are on the stage. Crusher gets good after a few turns, and this deck usually wins on speed. U might as well run ashenmour gouger.

Wheel of sun and moon: While a good sb card, the mana (GG) is very hard on this deck. Also the deck runs only 2 fire-lit thicket, almost the only way to effectively play this thing.

General advice: Run less green and maybe cut the mutas: Allows for ramgang, more thickets, flame javelins. Pyroclasm should be in the sb, it wrecks merfoz and fae even more.

The deck is an excellent metagame choise, but the list is bad. Especially the kavu predator.

by gypsy on 2008-05-11 21:51 MDT

predator is good because everydeck that isnt red aggro or blue, plays primal command/finks

by xiko on 2008-05-11 23:29 MDT

kavu predator has trample

by Lynolf on 2008-05-12 00:32 MDT

go go go GFSS. You own!!! ;)

by Ro on 2008-05-12 00:54 MDT

BusDriver: Cut the muta wtf? :S

by Nameless1 on 2008-05-12 02:41 MDT

The deck and the list is not bad. Actually that deck is quite good in this meta where feas is the best deck. Now to some of the maindeck choices : Kavu Predator is absolutelly a musin the maindeck. First of all it is good against all the lifegain that people basically run against red decks in the main or in the side. Playing Everlasting Torment in the side is no option for this deck [would only be an option for straight red burn decks]. The Crusher is there to smooth your draws and for the midgame. It's his abbility for skipping blanks that makes him good and not that he gets that much bigger in the process. Besides he is a mid to lategame card. This deck wasn't made to just beat fearies and merfolk but also to have a matchup vs other decks that actually want a midgame. If you want an even better matchup against fearies you could rebuild the deck and cut cards like gargadon, crusher and just add cards like marauders and more burn. Still i would stick to the Kavu and Goyf plan in green. As far as the board is concerned wheel should prolly be tormods crypt again. It simply is no option to drop the wheel turn 2 cause it takes alot of speed from the deck against Llark. And that is where you would want the wheel.
Overall that is my opinion in the deck, and in the current meta you either play feas or play something that has a good matchup against the same. R/g beatz has good tools to deal with fearies so that is something to keep in mind.

by ducki on 2008-05-12 05:26 MDT

2nd on master
2nd on trial
2nd on contructed ranking

but the RG Aggro is a good list. In master i don't have chance vs. Nameless1, but in trial, the game is 2x1 and i mull for 5 and FLOOD land! :/

gj Nameless a decklist.

and Pestermine >>>> Vendilion.

by Nameless1 on 2008-05-12 05:33 MDT

Thanks ducki. Someone who sees the potential of that R/g deck has to know something about magic :). Also the deck is not that easy to play as all may think and it has a good bording plan vs fearies.

by pnk on 2008-05-12 05:35 MDT

4 Fledgling Mawcor

lol

by sterbi on 2008-05-12 05:40 MDT

I think the straight burn deck with Predators and Goyfs, maybe Ram Gangs is even better in the meta, because most of the good players are playing Faeries or Merfolk.

by MACC on 2008-05-12 06:30 MDT

gfss > PV

@ noob, finalmente ganhaste um trial wooooooooooow

"This deck doesn't really abuse him (xept for gargadon, but he seems like a bad choice again, cuz every tier 1 deck has alot of chumpers and fae often run terror now)."

I've heard multiple people say this, but I really don't see it. First, it turns all their sowers into 4cc 2/2s. Second, their terrors will be pointed at his goyfs and crushers first, gargadon comes last. Finally, gargadon can frequintly put them into lose-lose scenerios. Do I keep my dorks back to block and die to bitterblossom damage+burn, or do I swing for the fences and die to gargadon beats?

by TugaChampion on 2008-05-12 07:52 MDT

Yeah, I mean, it's GerryT approved, how bad can it be? Seriously, Mawcor seems like a fine card in the mirror. Seems better than Peppersmoke at least.

by Diablo49 on 2008-05-12 10:29 MDT

gogogogo gfss!

go portugal!

fikem

by Nameless1 on 2008-05-12 12:05 MDT

Mawcor is some kind of tech in those kind of decks, yes. But calling my R/g list 'your list' with the only change being 3 cards in the mainboard and some cards in the sideboard is hilarious. I expected at least a thanks. You guys seriously need to learn some manners...

by Holzi on 2008-05-12 12:19 MDT

he seriously needs to learn some manners...
i just want to share a short piece of what he wrote

[14:12:48] <GFSS> Nameless1 is a noob, i dont know how he could win with such a bad list
[14:12:54] <GFSS> I just made it better and changed some cards so i can say it is my list "

lol gfss cant write in iglish xD

"I´M GFSS :P " -> gfss, the noob

by Chico_Ze on 2008-05-12 12:39 MDT

Only on M-l can GFSS win something :p.

by GFSS on 2008-05-12 12:59 MDT

fake logs obv macc .-.

ze noobao tb ganhei JSS =/
e tb ganhei a tua mae a tua irma a tua tia etc...

macc is gay

by GregorClegan on 2008-05-12 13:00 MDT

Its the meta.. everything that beats GR is so bad vs Faeries that people stop playing it. Then GR goes in and beats Fairies and Merfolk (the other anti-Faeries deck).

by GregorClegan on 2008-05-12 14:29 MDT

Also GR probably has the most efficient stuff its had since like Fireblast.

by TugaChampion on 2008-05-12 14:55 MDT

lol at Fledgling Mawcor being good. By that logic Prodigal Sorcerer is even better because you play it turn 2 anyway and you don't need to play UU to make it a pinger.

by gypsy on 2008-05-12 17:29 MDT

no because it doesnt die to peppersmoke and cant block anything in faeries

by SteveMan on 2008-05-12 19:22 MDT

by ducki on 2008-05-12 07:26 EDT

and Pestermine >>>> Vendilion.

and nameless inversion main is better than both

by gypsy on 2008-05-12 21:47 MDT

according to gerryt inversion is better but he didnt do so well

by GerryT on 2008-05-12 23:06 MDT

I t8ed d2 and lost to one deck that wasn't a mirror. :(

by gypsy on 2008-05-12 23:17 MDT

cool, i didnt know they had a t2 on d2 as well cuz they didnt have any video coverage.

by TugaChampion on 2008-05-13 03:37 MDT

still mawcor sucks. Anyway this just proves that merfolks doesn't beat faeries that easily and merfolk players are searching for a card that is really good againt them but they can't find it lol.

by ringman on 2008-05-13 07:17 MDT

omg tugachampion stfu dont give portugal a bad name...
mawcor is very good, it is being used in modo and by GerryT and it has proven to be good so stfu plz

by diablo2666 on 2008-05-13 07:19 MDT

gargadon has a good synergy with countryside ;) so bun to the crusher, ok sac a useless land^^

by thorgriM on 2008-05-13 07:46 MDT

@ducki: ooooooooo vice de novo =/

congratz man!

by TugaChampion on 2008-05-13 09:25 MDT

ringman vai masé levar no cu.

If I ever play mawcor in a constructed deck I'll quit magic.

by gypsy on 2008-05-13 09:34 MDT

just because you dont like the card doesnt mean it sucks and i hope you do quit magic

by TugaChampion on 2008-05-13 09:41 MDT

gypsy I understand you want me to quit so instead of 3493459396953650 better players than you there will be only 3493459396953649 better players than you.

modo has way less people playing in it right now. Let's wait for PT and see if there will be any mawcors lolol.

by gypsy on 2008-05-13 10:20 MDT

i rly dont care if anyone is better than me, your just acting like an idiot.

by TugaChampion on 2008-05-13 10:52 MDT

sry but I'm not acting like a gypsy

by Chico_Ze on 2008-05-13 13:55 MDT

TugaChampion és o maioreh :D.

gypsy stop being an ass, cuz Tuga is correct, obv.

by TugaChampion on 2008-05-13 14:45 MDT
