Scarlet Passion

[Relinquished]

My first ever Chaos Fractal deck, surprisingly enough based around, none other than Scarlet Tresses herself. The idea is quite simple: tap, and benefit from it. Deck is mainly made out of Radiance, Lightningand Ice, but also has one Gravity-drop. Due the high amount of "strangers" in this deck, I'll give an explanation on every card in the deck. I will also hear every suggestion. But for now, the deck list is this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3x Scarlet Tresses
3x Skylia
3x Engorica
3x Iris Memoria
3x Quickfire Sedative
3x Aegia Expi
4x Mirage Flight
3x Rahja Skull, the Annoying
3x Hypothermia
3x Skyhunter Elisia
3x Avant Garde
2x Falcon Strike
4x Wormhole


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I said, it's a Scarlet-Spellslinger deck, so it's majorly based around tapping and killing, but it does have other aspects in it as well. The main built of the deck is Scarlet Tresses, Hypothermia, Quickfire Sedative + the rest.

Avant Garde, Engorica and Skylia all make great blockers, especially since they're cheap and support the element-choises of this deck. Engorica is the most random of these three, since it's the only one I don't see having a particular role here, instead of blocking early-game creature swarms. However, I find it a reason big enough to keep it. Avant Garde is here for the chance of blocking fast and aggressive opponent's early game, but isn't just as benefictual in late game, except while blocking big creatures. Skylia is where things get interesting. The basic of it is, that apart from blocking, I aim to keep the field clear with it, and to block even the strongest of meanies.

Iris Memoria and Rahja Skull, the Annoying both have a supportive role in the deck. Iris Memoria is simply for recycling spells and possibly, under extreme circumstances, attacking early game. Possibly the strangest, but also a card of great importance in this deck is Rash-ja Skull, the Annoying. Its ability can give me a great advantage in the late game, as it makes my other Ice-cards cheaper, and is difficult to be destroyed.

Mirage Flight and Skyhunter Elisia are both important to the flow of the deck. Mirage Flight is -the- card that can't be blocked, and is therefore a great way to support Scarlet Tresses, in both: attacking opponent to tap, or attacking a tapped creature. While having cards in hand is popular nowadays, it is simply great. Skyhunter Elisia is such a powerful and well-fitting card in this deck, that I don't even have to take my time explaining her presence here.

The last but certainly not least is Wormhole, the ultimate killing machine in this deck. I rarely use its weaker ability, unless really needed, but I spare it to kill my opponent's stronger creatures when they become tapped. While I have to give you that it doesn't work well with Scarlet Tresses, there are still other powerful comboes in this deck one can pull off with this card.

Also, the new add, Falcon Strike, is perfect to remove things that may be weak early game, but have potential to rise to far greater power in the late game. One thing people may look over is the fact that a single creature removal in the early game can effect the result of the duel drastically.

Hope you got the point.

The skyscout seems forced .And after the nerf hes getting i'm not sure if its worth keeping at this point.

Seeing Hypothermia was just meh... Slipstream would be much cooler imo.

And seriously : Spell-Slinger without Rainboa?

[Relinquished]

Yes, seriously. I kept him earlier, but I think I forgot to add him when I recreated this deck. Also the Hypothermia thing is completely based on your personal likings, so I'll ignore it.

I said I would hear every suggestion, but this is clearly a case of stupid suggestions and moaning, so I'll not pay any attention to it.

Obviously someone didn't read anything else but the deck list, or at leas pay any attention to anything else

That just did it for me lol. I tried to be pleasant where i just got a rude answer. I commented because i do so on each deck at least to get a feel out of it or to give input(which as you might understand is very scarce) . If you feel bludged or picky because of what i said read my ranting below.

I did read all of that even tough i didnt need to. That was 10 mins i'm never getting back.

And the Hypothermia is not on my personal bias. You do already have the incites to make up for the Responcers . The consume 1 isnt worth bothering because you wont ever burn an opponent out and stalling them wont usually make them harm late game.

And for that you can ask Micky on which he did focus to tempoburn. it just becomes pointless or at least useless at late game due to CR/or field presence atm.

I did read everything carefully in order to post my comment. Sometimes its good to have feedback and so far (and you can check) i'm the only one doing it. And i got fucked up on how your response was to me trying to help. (lesson learned)
You for once missed an important part of what i've said : "Skyscout is getting nerfed". He will no longer grant you any card from your deck . Just think about it. You would be better off runing draw in his case , or another search engine.
Skyscout does not contribute to your Cost Reduction progressions nor to anything now. His nerfing effect is being discussed to be "When destroyed, draw 1 card."

I do still have some more opinions to give even tough i'm annoyed.
Wormhole works on both your creatures. I know early game is important to you but you can run Ars Megistus. Pretty sure you can afford that.(you can also loop him).

If you do need more early game and was using Skyscout to prevent being outswarmed you increase the Memoria or run Pianoforte for some ongoing kill .

Well i'm being a bitch and all but i'm done . seriously i just tried to help, and i've been the only one giving input on the decks so far...
If you post the decks just to dismiss every opinion just cause you think they're stupid i seriously dont know why you bother posting in the first place. I sure hope you do get a lot of input and all (with all the scarceness we have so far).

This is not a helpful advice: "Seeing Hypothermia was just meh... Slipstream would be much cooler imo."


This is a helpful advice: "Skyscout does not contribute to your Cost Reduction progressions nor to anything now. "


Are you getting my point? I don't care if something is cooler than something else in your opinion. I don't bother trying out anything that doesn't have a proper explanation. I only care about what works in the deck.

Also, these sentences didn't make any sense, but I believe it to be a misunderstanding: "And the Hypothermia is not on my personal bias. You do already have the incites to make up for the Responcers . The consume 1 isnt worth bothering because you wont ever burn an opponent out and stalling them wont usually make them harm late game."

As ZeroVash suggested, I removed the Skyscouts to make room for one more Rahja Skull and two Falcon Strikes.

Zerovash, are you confusing Hypothermia with another card? I use Hypo in a lot of my decks and ive never managed to burn any tempo with it... (except one time where I used two on a parli and consumed my own tempo...)
