Hey guys, Lets start a discussion on deck strategies that you're running either Extended or Standard or whatever. We can discuss the current metagame that you meet during your weekly FNM or Arena and so on. I personally run a standard deck, the U/Rzatron version, very similar to Osyp's deck in PT Honolulu. But I've taken a more aggro approach. I sideboarded all but 1 meloku and put 3 ryusei in it. I've also replaced tendo for shinka and miren. Shinka as you know, first strike...kills everything with 5 or below defense. Miren in case your keiga is screwed with fetters or any lockdown stuffs, you can at least sac it for life. My casual deck is the Hunted Leyline deck. Very good synergy. Leyline of Singularity + Hunted Horror + Hunted Phantasm and a bunch or counters and blue spells. I would say this deck is average, however when the pieces are out fast, its unstoppable even with zoo or rg aggro. So lets talk abt what what decks you guys own and play against this days. We can also begin speculating stuffs that are coming out in Dissension or ColdSnap  &

Hey guys,
7chai, I don't really understand why'd you put boiling sea (i'm assuming your burning sea = boiling sea). Your main deck is 95% blue. Only siege of towers are red. Why'd you play boiling sea? Eventually u'll screw urself up. And djinn dun really fit in the place. By the time you play your djinn, your instants or sorcery are almost used up or something. Djinn is the last stuff to come out of your maindeck coz it has a high mana. 3 of it is really a bit too much. Dats why ppls dun play djinn. Should put hunted dragon and hunted phantasm (UR) or hunted phantasm and hunted horror (UB fast deck)

cdwk: I think frenzied goblin is important. Which cards you wanna take out i am not so sure. As you can see, in one of the vids in PT Honolulu, Heezy actually used frenzied goblin to make 3 of the opponent's creatures unable to block his creatures then deliver an attack to drop his opponent's life to 0. I actually subbed out frenzied goblin for birds at first, but really in t2 environment now, rg is just brainless swing. Most of the time, these utility creatures are used to instead block opponents, thus not allowing them to be alive for more than 3 - 4 rounds. Birds or llanowar elves kenot work in rg.
For anyone who is thinking of buying jitte, I also suggest that instead of putting jitte...which is pro metagame ( means following the current metagame) why not you put manriki gusari, which is anti metagame. Destroy jitte or any artifacts. Then you can sub out tin street hooligan or any artifact removal.
