IBC R/G 'Sligh'

[Lotus Mox]

Here's my actual decklist:

Creatures(19)
4 Quirion Dryad
4 Blurred Mongoose
2 Raging Kavu
2 Thornscape Battlemage
3 Thunderscape Battlemage
4 Skizzik (more than half of the time cast w/o kicker )

Burn(18)
3 Assault/Battery
4 Scorching Lava
3 Fire/Ice
4 Urza's Rage
4 Ghitu Fire

Land(23)
12 Mountain
7 Forest
4 Shivan Oasis

S/B:
3 Yavimaya Barbarian
3 Dodecapod
2 Mask of Intolerance
2 Hull Breach
2 Thornscape Battlemage
2 Shivan Wurm
1 Tranquility

This deck contains 20 burn spells (counting Thornscape Battlemage as burn). It usually plays a fast threat, and when the opponent finally stabilizes the board, he's usally at such a low life that you can Burn him to zero.

So far I haven't lost 1 match out of 12 on apprentice with this deck.[/bragmode]
Which says nothing cause 70% of the other decks were just badly played Spiritmonger constructs, and this deck seldomly has a problem vs. a turn 5 Monger or a turn 2 Spectral Lynx

What do you think of this deck, how can I improve this pile of Burn?
Would Thornscape Familiar be better than Quirion Dryad? (I think so, but the Dryad is soooo cute)
Does Flametongue Kavu fits this deck? I personally don't like him here, cause he can't go to the head.

If a lot of people are going to be playing Gomar (as they most likely will be), here's a suggestion:

4 Thornscape Familiar
4 Blurred Mongoose
4 Raging Kavu
2 Thunderscape Battlemage
4 Thornscape Battlemage
2 Kavu Runner
4 Kavu Titan
4 Fire/Ice
4 Urza's Rage
4 Ghitu Fire
4 Urborg Volcano
2 Keldon Necropolis
4 Llanowar Wastes
1 Swamp
6 Forest
7 Mountain

SB
4 Yavimaya Barbarian
2 Thunderscape Battlemage
3 Flametounge Kavu
4 Spiritmonger
2 Terminate

with the R/G matchup being the hardest (until you drop Spiritmonger). But the Mongers and Terminates may just be the answer to the opponents Jade Leeches and Skizziks.

A slightly faster build:
4 Thornscape Familiar
4 Blurred Mongoose
4 Yavimaya Barbarian
4 Thornscape Battlemage
4 Raging Kavu
3 Kavu Runner
2 Flametounge Kavu
4 Fire/Ice
4 Urza's Rage
4 Ghitu Fire
4 Shivan Oasis
1 Keldon Necropolis
10 Forest
8 Mountain

SB
4 Tranquility
1 Flametounge Kavu
4 Overabundance
4 Dodecapod/Skizzik
2 Jade Leech

Overall, I think that Domain's day may have passed, as Gomar has too many counters (12-16 at least) for it to develop properly, and with Galina's Knights and Voice of Alls coming out of the SB, Gomar is going to play like counter-sliver; wrecking control left and right, while maintaining a good chance against creature beatdown. The B/W decks may just stop running Gerrard's Verdict, but that guessing game is much to hard to play right now.

i would like to see how well this deck handles up to my invasion " mystic Titan "., but unfortunately, you are on apprentice and my deck is my real deck. ( how do you get apprentice anyway?).

the deck sounds good, i threw one together about minutes ago from your list ( sh*ts and giggles) and subtracted the rage (because of lack of 4) for a good old fasion Kavu titan, and it worked great!!! and the deck beats extended decks without much of a problem.



- "you ever see the look on someones face when you just kicked their extended Butt with an IBC deck???" its priceless-
