Hello there, gals and boys, both new faces and veterans. Since it’s not (yet) too crowded in here, I’ve decided to make a single topic with my own decks instead of posting them in 3+ different. Hope it’s not too selfish of me :) I’m still in the midst of brewing and lacking some key cards and/or additional copies, but I like what I’ve got so far. Critics and discussion are enormously welcome, b/c I’d like to hear people’s thoughts on my choices and some guidelines on where to move next and how to improve.

So, here’s what I’ve brewed so far.

Lists are exproted from the game.

Boros Aggro

2 x Integrity // Intervention
9 x Plains
8 x Mountain
4 x Fresh-Faced Recruit
4 x Justice Strike
3 x Swiftblade Vindicator
1 x Tajic, Legion's Edge
1 x Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice
2 x Heroic Reinforcements
1 x Truefire Captain
2 x Boros Guildgate
2 x Blade Instructor
2 x Sunhome Stalwart
2 x Mentor of the Meek
1 x Parhelion Patrol
1 x Venerated Loxodon
1 x Light of the Legion
1 x Legion Warboss
1 x Boros Challenger
2 x Skyknight Legionnaire
3 x Goblin Banneret
1 x Clifftop Retreat
2 x Sacred Foundry
3 x Haazda Marshal
1 x Leonin Warleader


Pretty simple and cheap. Mentoring, going 2-for-1, removing big threats and aiming to close the game ASAP. What I don’t like is the vulnerability to cheap removal spells and difficulties with fat fliers. Then again, which Boros deck doesn’t struggle with it, right?

This is my current farming deck. I switch to it when I got my ass kicked with other ones :)

Golgary Midrange

2 x Status // Statue
10 x Swamp
10 x Forest
4 x Glowspore Shaman
2 x Erstwhile Trooper
2 x Golgari Findbroker
1 x Vraska, Golgari Queen
1 x Molderhulk
2 x Doom Whisperer
2 x Pelt Collector
1 x Nullhide Ferox
2 x Rhizome Lurcher
2 x Plaguecrafter
3 x Golgari Guildgate
1 x Overgrown Tomb
2 x Vraska's Contempt
4 x Stitcher's Supplier
2 x Assassin's Trophy
2 x Charnel Troll
1 x Izoni, Thousand-Eyed
1 x Underrealm Lich
1 x Necrotic Wound
1 x Midnight Reaper
1 x Jadelight Ranger


Like what I managed to brew in that color combination so far. Guess it’s my try at ‘tool box’ approach, e.g. e little bit of this, a little bit of that. Gems of the deck are Assassin’s Trophy (getting 4 ASAP) and Charnel Troll with 4xStitchers and 4xShamans fueling it since turn 1. Also planning to get more Feroxes as there aren’t many dual-color Mythics that I like other than him.

Dimir. Man, this is one of my favorite color combinations but do I struggle to get what I want from it. After all the difficulties with brewing this color-combination I’ve decided to make two separate decks – one more of a midrange, and the other one – more of a control. Needless to say, I got little luck with both of them :D Which saddens me because my love with Magic started with UB decks back in the 2013 and 2013 duels (Moroii discussions, anyone?). If any one could give me a direction where to move with any of them, I'd be the most grateful person on the Earth!
