Random, rather casual decks, although still standard legal.

Journey Into Nyx Brews, pt. 3 – Heroic
Heroic might not be the way to go right now, but it probably will be soon enough, if there’s no cheap sweeper in the near future. After [scryfall]Supreme Verdict[/scryfall] is gone, these strategies might be the thing to do.

More brews. This time totally randomly red and black monocolored decks.
Standard Deck Time: Monogreen Aggro
I’ve been a bit burnt out lately with my Suicide Black deck. Its still pretty good, but I just don’t seem to have the fire to play with it that I used to, so I’m getting sloppy. This means its time to look for something different. Gladly, some guy called Mason Lange played a monogreen aggro deck in a recent StarCityGames Open. That seemed like something to build on.

Spoilers have begun and the prereleases are less then two weeks away, so its time to begin the brewing. Starting with the gods, which seem to be very, very powerful. (Note: Pharika wasn’t spoiled when I first wrote this, but now that she has, I’m not sure I’d want to brew with her. Feels like a sideboard card to me.)
Theros Block Constructed Deck Time: Monoblack
I’m going to GP Manchester next month. The format is Theros Block Constructed. Problems are pretty obvious: I don’t know the full block yet, because Journey Into Nyx spoilers began just today. Has that ever stopped me?
EDH Pauper Deck Time: Crypt Rats
I was thinking about making a [scryfall]Species Gorger[/scryfall] deck and I probably eventually will, but I felt I would be trying to play EDH in Pauper. Granted, that’s the idea, but I would rather use wholly different approaches. With Pauper, I have a chance to rethink stuff, so I decided to go to another direction, again trying to use the resources I have readily available, namely mana.
So, where to dump the mana? There was a shade back in alpha and there’s been a shade in the core set and most blocks ever since. (I didn’t check, but I’m pretty sure.) They’ve never been for the Spikes out there, but apparently they have their fans, as they’ve survived for so long. However, they could be very good in EDH.
So, the question is, who do we get to lead this pack?
Playing Weenie in EDH (Monoblue Sygg)
I’ve been playing with a [scryfall]Sygg, River Cutthroat[/scryfall] deck lately. I have a tendency to change my decks quite often, but I just wanted to play a weenie strategy after not doing so for a while. This isn’t as good as the [scryfall]Edric, Spymaster of Trest[/scryfall], but there’s also the point of not being overbearing. Edric will just win most of the games, even if the other players combine their forces from the beginning. Edric just happens to be so fast.
So, if winning is your only goal, use Edric (this deck didn’t not win once during its lifetime). Otherwise read on.
Born of the Gods Event Deck Review
I saw a couple openings of the Born of the Gods Event Deck. So, they were informative on the contents and did throw around a couple of suggestions, but to me, that’s not a real review. So, I bought the deck and took it out for a spin today at the FNM.
EDH Pauper Deck Time: Vizkopa Guildmage
Last time we played Pauper, there was a [scryfall]Vizkopa Guildmage[/scryfall] on the field. I had thought about using her as well, but didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes, so I didn’t. Still, this could be a truly repressive deck, so I thought I’d just design one, since this seems like an interesting choice for a general. However, this is Pauper and that means we don’t have that much room to maneuver.
