[@manabirds]

Nice list, brother! Congrats on the 4-1.
And you're right, mono red is everywhere! lol
Just posted a 5-0 with it

[@Kirblinxy]

and the mono red still hasn't died off a week later, haha.

Cute thumbnail 😄

[@Kirblinxy]

Thanks! Sometimes the simplest compositions are the best :)

[@vanni3406]

Gate decks are just cool :)

[@Kirblinxy]

It's just nice when every creature in your deck can be a threat.

I have a breathless gate deck as well, however I approached it at a different angle, going more towards a sacrifice deck at first, then going towards gates later.
It is interesting seeing something very similar that plays differently.
The core of my build is towards deadly dispute, small black value drops, village rites/deadly dispute type effects.
Drawing into lands that way isn’t as hard and it is pretty consistent.
Some key cards:
Angelic Renewal as it adds protection of your threats that you can play ahead of time instead of waiting for the right moment.
If opponent has graveyard removal, you can choose not to sac upon ability resolution where you cant do that with unearth/recommission.
If Opponents kills your creature on their turn, renewal can bring it back instantly, to block (if before blockers) and can attack the next turn rather than waiting a turn with unearth or recommission.
I think I run 4 unearth, 4 renewal, 1 recommission
Lunarch veteran
counts when using the graveyard ability, cat doesn’t.
Allows quicker recovery and gains a fair amount of life in both modes.
Lone missionary
helps give a bigger up front boost of life gain.
Supernatural Stamina
Paired with a lifelinker or before sacrificing to a dispute, additional triggers for breathless knight or etb/die trigger for lunarch.
I didnt have sacred cat as lunarch, knight, and missionary kept my life total up.
I haven’t added scrapwork mutt, though I think it is a great call.
Thrabens were weak in the deck so those didnt last long

Renewal is cool, I remember playing that with Mulldrifter back in the day. I like that it works with Breathless Knight to pump itself, it's just that this deck focuses on trying to discard with a 2 drop to be able to reanimate the Knights on turn 3 so they are cheaper and bigger. I would like more cards with etb's if I was running renewal to get more value like Angelic Overseer and Militia Bugler. Lone Missionary, as much as I love the guy, I just don't think he does enough these days.

[@Mmoll1990]

Looks like 1 or 2 more lands might be worth squeezing in.

[@Kirblinxy]

Maybe cut the extra inspectors for a bounceland and the 4th Scapwork Mutt might be worth a try.

[@wiloj]

Love this drck and excited to see more people try it! Like another commentor said i want to try freestrider commando since our mana is so flexible and it can be reaninated as a big beater.

[@Kirblinxy]

I did forget about Freestrider when building as I was too focused on the Outlaw Medic. When I saw that card I did brew a WG small reanimator with that and Bayou Groff. I might try that deck out later.

[@wiloj]

@Kirblinxy excited to see it! I was still thinking in a mostly BW shell just for unearth and breathless knight but then our white creature count for strands gets diluted so idk.

[@mimico4340]

Have you tried Freestrider Commando in this deck? I believe is quite the improvement. 5/5 from the grave is quite powerful.

[@thygamerguy]

Quote me if im wrong but the card has plot, so it would need to be plotted from your hand before you could cast it and get the counters

[@VancedAlt-bg7il]

Nah, the whole thing here is that if you Unearth or Recomm it, it would enter with the additional counters since it was not cast, but reanimated.

[@mimico4340]

@@thygamerguynop, just reanimate it and go to town

[@marcelogodoy5510]

That deck is cool, wp wp
Round 3 g3, when you have 2 prismatics on grv, you canot just hit with everything and let 2 back to use 1 on atk and another to not die? Like, with you atk with everything and use prismatic for green, no one of your creatures die (just 1 dor the trol because is black), and you hit again next turn at the same way to win? Just a idea because i not play so much

[@Kirblinxy]

That was indeed an option. I was just flustered because my time was running low so wasn't thinking about those sort of lines. They may have had the Gnaw to the Bone in hand and then it wouldn't have been lethal. Then I may have died to Lotleth Giants over 2 turns.

😊lòok fun

[@Martian_Manhunter]

Does this count as the third comment? Or the fifth, seeing as the creator themselves got in here? Lol.
Great as always!
