....what does discarding creature cards have to do with Malfegor's effect?

As for what I want to do, I guess the safe answer is several different things. The deck used to be Grixis colors but I liked blue the least for what I was trying to do so I cut it. Here's how it stands currently.

I dislike discarding my hand unless I have a way to get those things back. But you've got so much redundancy that it doesn't matter.

If you want to stay with the discard disruption, then you will at least need The Rack, Waste Not and Geth's Grimoire.

Geth's Grimoire also combos very nicely with Words of Waste and any other "everyone discards X cards" effects.

Current Standard deck, converted it over from my u/b control to try out some u/w control, the deck is fun! here it is!

U/W Control/Tempo

9 plains
8 island
4 radiant fountain
4 tranquil cove

2 aetherspouts
2 learn from the past
3 banishing light
3 jace's ingenuity
3 negate
4 dissolve
4 nullify
3 disdainful stroke
3 divination
2 pearl lake ancient
3 elspeth sun's champion
3 end hostilities

Stall. Stall. Stall. Hit in the face with a sea monster. How very blue control of you.

It's fun! Try out the deck!

Here's my more complete stax deck. Renamed, so my link above isn't going to work. Just thought I'd find a more appropriate extreme metal song for the deck.

My basic lands may need to be re-balanced, but I like the way this has turned out.

Howdy all,

Not played in ages, grabbed a ton of boosters for fate/khans/dragons and have basically come up with a G/W deck, any advice would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to add Dragonlord Dromoka and Dromoka's Command but not had any luck getting them yet. If there are any cards you can suggest I'd be delighted to hear from you guys as I'm well behind in my mtg deck building skills.

It's slightly tweaked from the 'Massed Forces' deck-list with a few tweaks here and there, I'm aiming to keep the theme of Human Warriors and Dragons, obviously the deck is still focused on the 'Bolster' mechanic but I'm also looking to include buffs to human warriors (Vigilance, Double Strike etc.) and I'm aiming to keep it in the standard format.



Cheers for any assistance.

I think you should pick the best creatures and focus on them rather than having 1-2 of everything, many there are weak and you've have to build a deck around. You have several aggressive creatures, so you want to focus and support them, something like Dromoka Dunecaster will be useless most of the time. If you want a deck that can slow people down and prevent them attacking, you could build around that instead. The biggest problem currently for weenie decks is that there are so many ways to have your side completely wiped out, Drown in Sorrow will completely screw you. I use Chief of the Scale specifically in my sideboard to prevent this.


My B/W Warrior deck is as follows.

4 x Bloodsoaked Champion
4 x Mardu Woe-Reaper
4 x Battle Brawler
4 x Chief of the Edge
4 x Seeker of the Way
4 x Arashin Foremost
1 x Athreos, God of Passage
4 x Brutal Hordechief
2 x Gods Willing
2 x Banishing Light
4 x Defiant Strike
2 x Valorous Stance

4 x Caves of Koilos
2 x Temple of Silence
8 x Plains
7 x Swamp

Anyone know where some good and current budget deck lists could be found? I havent been on dakka for a long time, due to computer problems, and college stuff, otherwise I recall dakka having a budget standard deck page or something if i recall it correctly, if anything pops up, that would be cool! thanks!!!

Hey all!

So I briefly played Magic back in 2013, but now I finally have time to really get into the game, so I signed up for a Shadows of Innistrad pre-release event on the first weekend of April. However, I REALLY need a refresher game or three before then, so - is anyone in NYC and interested in playing someone who has played magic, but who is most certainly a beginner?

I can't help you out with refresher games, but if you want a mostly sanitized way the cards and phases interact with each other, the Magic Duels game on Steam is free to play Magic the Gathering with a very limited card pool. It will give you an overview of the basics of the game, the phases, card interaction, the stack, etc...

I think MTGO still has a free starter pack if you want to always find a game. Has a steep learning curve though.
