I tried electrickery weeks ago and they were kinda pointless, I never boarded them in after not drawing them when I needed them and being really disappointed when topdecking/feeding them to Ti. The meta's shifted since then and I don't know you're meta though--I thought they might be good against Humans. My Naya Midrange and my Jund Aggro have been hosing this deck lately though, so I'm up for any tinkering tips and keeping this thread alive as long as we can make ol' Ti playable.

I could be over reacting, but at least 4 regulars at the win-a-case tourament I was at were on the DeTorra wagon (I had forgotten the name of the player and was too lazy to look it up). It's a list I'm going to have to deal with for a while at least.
Madcapping a Reckoner is a thought but whose going to be stupid enough to run into a potential 6/3 Firststriker?
I might just run some Ghost Quarter  over a few Mountains (like 3). Seems good to disrupt some manabases at least, though I doubt I'll get lucky and see it be a Strip Mine. It'd also let me not have to worry about Wolf Run.

Those guys would probably have been on the Esper wagon if he had gotten luckier. If you need to, sideboard Ghost Quarter and get 'em. But that also makes it harder to cast Reckoner.

I'm going to give it a shot with -2 Wrath +2 Hellrider and I'll let you know how it fares. I brought up the low lands issue to a fellow who also suggested Hellrider and he didn't think it would be a problem.
Nope. Hellrider isn't worth it on this land count, and 2 Wraths is too few; I want 3. More Reckoners is the way to go.
Also, I have no idea what I can do against Azorius Charm, if anything. That matchup was horrible tonight against RWU control. Charm, burn, Augur, Restoration Angel, Sphinx's. Ugh.

So would the current list benefit from dumping the Ash Zealot  s and Boros Reckoner  s and adding Burning-Tree Emissary  and Lightning Mauler  to accelerate and hasten things up?

I'm splashing black to give Dreadbore a shot (2x main 1x side).
If it doesn't match any better against midrangey decks then I'm going back to Junk until I can afford Stomping Grounds.

I see a lot of people running Forge Devil  in the SB. I can only assume this is for dealing with Naya Humans ( since killing off their Champion/Experiment before they can grow it seriously hampers that deck). I see people mentioning Electrickery  as well. Seems people have forgotten all about Geistflame  . It seems like it is better at getting the job done than Forge Devil in almost every way. Geistflame gets rid of those annoying T1 plays just as easily, can be flashed back later to get rid of a second Champion/Experiment, and can even be aimed at your opponents face if all you need is just a little extra reach. You also dont take the 1 damage that you would from Forge Devil , which can be relevant. The only downside is that you lose out on the 1/1 creature, but in most cases that is just going to be chump fodder anyways.
