Don't be so ecstatic Marske
I'm only playing competitive vintage since a year or so, and it was my second top 8 finish and first victory.

I have to agree about the new venue, it's nice.

See you in November.

There were no Gushes because the tournament took place on the 12th of september

In my opinion, Tarmogoyf is not good enough in here. You'll find that it's often a simple 3/4 beater (sorcery, instant, land), maybe 4/5 sometimes.

I'd suggest you to try Kavu Predator, built-in trample and obvious synergy with Invigorate, SB Nature's Claim, ... and some anecdotical situations.
With Invigorate it's just that dumb (and it's awesome even without Berserk).
Always bigger than a goyf, and sometimes it will win you the game where goyf won't (Sphynx of the Steel Wind to point out a real problem to RG beats).

Assault Strobe seems nice on the paper, I need to test that card.

For the Varchild's War-Riders, to be honest I never heard of this before I saw them in here.
Seems ok but I can't really give some input on that. Need to test too. Maybe there's a better beater. Scab-Clan Mauler or the like.

Hello,

Based on your list - no testing - I feel Fury of the Horde and Warren Instigators are pretty bad on their own, and without draw cards in your deck, why not using better critters and pump spells ?

I playtested a similar deck weeks ago - casual purposes - I was using Berserk along with Reckless charge and some other burn/pump spells.

Since you need green to cast Invigorate, why not playing Beserk ? It's pretty awesome on a Kiln Fiend !

If you really want your Double Strikers, I guess Double Cleave is better than Viashino/Warren, especially with Berserk and Kiln Fiend.

As I already said, I feel Warren Instigator is bad. Yes it has double strike but if you don't have 1 of your 8 pump spells it's just a dumb 1/1. Not to mention him being blocked.

Try Goblin Guide. A lot better here.


I guess it's not 'the spirit' of your deck anymore with double strike - double attack phase, but I'd start with something like this:

Mana:
5 Mountain
3 Forest
4 Taiga
4 Wooded Foothills

1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Ruby

Critters:
4 Kiln Fiend
4 Goblin Guide

Burn:
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Chain Lightning
4 Lava Dart

Pump:
4 Berserk
4 Invigorate
4 Reckless Charge

There are 9 slots remaining for metagame concerns / or whatever you feel right in here.
I playtested with 4 Kavu Predator, 3 Nature's Claim and 2 cards I can't remember right now - Maybe Grim Lavamancers.

I like these kind of decks, and be sure I'll test yours as soon as I come home.

What do you think ?

Hey, I'm Gregory.

The missing cards in my maindeck are Ponder, Tezzeret the Seeker and Thirst for Knowledge.
The missing sideboard card is Show and Tell.

Nvm it's fixed

Thanks Nico.
