In the MYOS articles, one of the strategies talked about was taking an old standard deck, and reworking it with a new core set. How about Fires of Yavimaya? I seem to remember when this was standard legal, It was the best deck at the time. Here is a preliminary decklist using IN-MM-10. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

Land

4 Mountain
8 Forest
4 Sulfurous Springs
4 Llanowar Wastes
4 Karplusan Forest

Creatures
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Llanowar Elves
2 Thornscape Battlemage
3 Stampeding Wildebeests
4 Blastoderm
4 Flametongue Kavu
3 Spiritmonger
2 Shivan Wurm

Other Stuff
3 Ghitu Fire
4 Fires of Yavimaya
4 Saproling Burst

SB
2 Hurricane
2 Void
4 Naturalize
3 Urza's Rage
4 Terminate

There's a lot of combo running around MYOS and I think that's why it isn't very easy to play a competitive fires deck. How have you been doing against it?

The problem i see with this deck is that the cratures are too costly, the deck is intended to go on offensive form turn 3-4 onwards, wich i think is too slow for MYOS, and if they kill the mana critters, worse.

I seem to remember RB winning the world championship that year; Fires got second.

Just to add my 2 cents machine head was the deck that beat the deck, that beat Fires it was probably 60 / 40 vs fires but draw go was fairly decent against it
