Well i took alittle time out of states testing because well u can only test toast some much before u go crazy i feel lol. So i decided because soa brought us a few new toys that i will show u my take on the old fun. Now u must remember i dont play this format a ton so if the list is complete trash i am very sorry but i hope it isnt.

// Lands
3 [MR] Great Furnace
4 [MR] Vault of Whispers
3 [MR] Tree of Tales
4 [MR] Seat of the Synod
4 [DS] Blinkmoth Nexus
2 [MR] Glimmervoid

// Creatures
4 [MR] Ornithopter
4 [MR] Frogmite
4 [DS] Arcbound Worker
3 [ALA] Salvage Titan
3 [BOK] Ninja of the Deep Hours
3 [MR] Myr Enforcer
4 [DS] Arcbound Ravager
4 [ALA] Master of Etherium

// Spells
3 [MR] Thoughtcast
4 [FD] Cranial Plating
3 [LRW] Springleaf Drum

// Sideboard
SB: 3 [TSP] Ancient Grudge
SB: 3 [SC] Stifle
SB: 4 [LRW] Thoughtseize
SB: 3 [RAV] Darkblast
SB: 2 [TSB] Tormod's Crypt

The one card in the sb i question is stifle but i dont know what would go in its place. As for the main i do love it alot. Just i think 3 titan is to much it might go down to 2 and i would go back 2 4 thoughtcast again lol

How hard can typing "Ravager" really be when the CARD IS IN YOUR DECKLIST?

Overall, the deck may seem fine, and that's because almost all the affinity decks may work without much effort. I haven't tested it since the last season, so here here are some (maybe old) ideas:

- As much as I know, 4 Thoughtcast are almost always mandatory.
- Depending on your playing style and meta, Goyf can be added, but I'd recommend Shrapnel Blast (ace to get that extra oomph).
- Adding Artifacts to fix-sac is recomended, so Chromatic Star improves your OMG starts.
- Atog can be nice, and was used in the last Extended season, but maybe it's replaced with Master of Eternium, now.
- Fatal Frenzy was used as 2x as it's ace with Atog/Master and/or Plating.
- Test should be done to check if Ethersworn Canonist can help to slow down opponents. A more controlish way can be built around Erayo-Canonist, but it's not the deck you are looking for (and I don't know if it's viable enough to have some decent win average).
- I used to go 4x Crypts in side, as if you draw too many, they simply affinity the rest of your spells.

Good luck in your tests.

Well right now the 3rd titan is out so i am playing 4 thoughtcast. As for the atog and such. I see it as that is more of its own arch type. Still the same thing but just different in ways. As for salavage titan he isnt horrid i mean that is why i went down to 2.

If you have two of something, you will almost never see it.
If you never see it, then there is no point of playing it.

Cut the two to make some of your other, better, cards 4-ofs.

lol wow i didnt even see i was only at 59 cards lol now thats funny. Well as i said titan is ok in my eyes at 2. Yes now spring leaf is at 4 again and so is thoughtcast. So now i think the draw engine is alittle better. I really do like ninja in here with blinxs and thopters he is pretty good.

On a non-deck improvement related topic: wtf is "revenger"?

Yeah, he made a spelling mistake... Move on.
This is why no one uses ML's forum.

I would cut the ninja and add something like Shrapnel Blast.

See idk in blast its ok but meh. I did learn titan bad and what really needs to be maindeck with this field i feel is smother. Its just too good against so much in the format.

there is a reason why affinity is bad to play.... every deck has md or sb answers to it.... this deck sux ith its slowness and zero answer to this anti affinity

I can see something like "ravzger" or maybe even "reveger", but "revenger"? Wtf is that, you misspelled the card that makes your deck win that you have probably read countless times. Do you honestly care if people that can't even spell the name of the card that makes their deck good use the forums or not?

I am pretty sure that the reason most people don't use forums is because the sick players with harsh tech that win trials don't use forums much.
