Playing Iroas with so many evasive creatures seems counterproductive. He wants to be in a low curve aggro deck, not a deck topping out with Aurelia. I really just want to play those cards, and nothing tier 1 or 2 has been even close to viable for the battalion mechanic. I wish it was. I might try t...

Jonnymagic

Iroas is pretty mediocre without a lot of help coming in Journey. Purphoros probably dealing as much damage on the whole in Red Devotion and red aggro doesn't need help getting around the like 4 people still playing Caryatid's. If actual Boros aggro ala Ben Lundquist / Pat Cox style is good again t...

Jonnymagic

You can't have Ham. He's mine. Take Kait. You can have him.

Jonnymagic

DO YOU WANNA GO BRAH!?!?! Lol. Come with us and venture south!

Jonnymagic

@redthirst -- lol! Are you in/around tampa?

Jonnymagic

@khaos do you wanna go? I can try to work something out, me and my VP are leaving work early friday and heading up.

Jonnymagic

@imopen2 I've always tried to draft red in this format. It's always open, people undervalue it as a color because it is the weakest overall, but when you get all of the premium red it becomes a solid consistent deck. If you can get some good white or black filler it usually is a very fast deck backe...

Jonnymagic

Wanted to take a break from modern, did a draft. Pulled together this little masterpiece: 1 Eidolon of Countless Battles 1 Loyal Pegasus 1 Satyr Nyx-Smith 1 Glimpse the Sun God 2 Fall of the Hammer 1 Elite Skirmisher 1 Impetuous Sunchaser 1 Nyxborn Rollicker 2 Heliod's Emissary 1 Deathbellow Raider ...

@Alex -- Ill be going with a few people to GP Atlanta. I'm in Tampa so its not too ridiculous a drive.

Jonnymagic

Whoamg. This is a card I like. Card draw or damage. Granted, its a do nothing the turn it comes down, but the static on it is nuts.

Jonnymagic

Sent PM.

Jonnymagic

The best I can think of is a battalion theme being more playable now, but it becomes a bit more midrange-y rather than agro. Firemane angel playable now??!?!? Tajic? Makes battalion more relevant because you're not throwing away cards to trigger it.

Jonnymagic

@Alex -- Do you run the list with spellskite either in the main or s/b? I really want to test with it, but dont want to drop 40 or so tickets for 2 if they're not ridiculous.

Jonnymagic

Been testing using this list, and spell pierce and thoughtseize are friggin all stars post board. If you have them in opening hand with a reasonable draw you pretty much just win. People go all in on their hate cards post board and keep sketchy hands because affinity hate is so powerful. I've decide...

Much luck. Spells much. Skill not.

Jonnymagic

Won an 8 man this morning, up to 9 QPs. Went back to red bots, because fire. I really miss master though, so I may try to figure a way to have both. We'll see. Ive put 4 thoughtseize in the s/b and they've done work!

Jonnymagic

Consistency > power. The last sealed PTQ I did I had a pile of b/w cards that I went 7-2 with, just missing top 8. I had no bombs, very few powerful uncommons, but I had a good curve and could always cast my spells.

Jonnymagic

We should have your cat and my daughter do team sealed. The opposing teams would just snap concede to the cuteness.

Jonnymagic

@red -- idk why, but I laughed uncontrollably at your comment.

Jonnymagic

Don't let your cat play for you while you fap. What did I tell you about this.

Jonnymagic

Prep is all about planning for what you can expect. You can't expect consistent above average draws, playing 6 hexproof players in a row, etc. But you can plan for what you will most likely see, and be ready for the majority of the encounters you will experience.

Jonnymagic

@Ham is all mine. I have claimed him as my own.

Jonnymagic

MTGO is a dream crusher. Managed to get an 8 man in last night, lost to my nemesis u/w/r in the finals. Snagged a QP though, so yay.

Jonnymagic

Plays out ok. The Vraska deck is much better imo than the Jace one, but could be playstyle =D.

Jonnymagic

I am the walrus.

Jonnymagic

By "your girl" do you mean your cat? JW.

Jonnymagic

@Elricity I got it too for kicks (plus Jace is 20$ anyway), so I figured why not. Fun little deck. I did really enjoy the heroes v monsters one, but this is definitely more intricate.

Jonnymagic

Ya I'm not even sure how it happened honestly -- It registered as a double? IDK. Either way, it would've been close if that didn't happen. The precombat bait out the CS instead of doing something mid combat so I'd still have mana to move cranial plating and get him down to 4 so I'm drawing live to a...

Jonnymagic

Well went 3-1 in my first modern daily. The one loss I had was a horrible MTGO single click that registered as a double click -- I was tapping ravager with springleaf to activate the 1 equip for cranial plating and it instead ate it to ravager, lol. Oh well. I feel good against most MUs other than s...

Jonnymagic

Got the job, now a Senior Inspection Officer with the Financial Ombudsman Service.

So yeah, going to be playing a fuck load more magic.

Grats!

Jonnymagic

Oh ya we could float it in response, but that's if you have mox or springleaf on the field AND disenchant in hand. It's definitely possible, but a tough line nonetheless. To me its just the hardest card for the deck to beat. I've recovered from shatterstorm, but two games of t2 stony silence is roug...

Jonnymagic

I'm working on it. I've got 6 QPS and have only played 5 (2qp 2qp 1qp 1qp) events this season. Between perfoming my friends wedding and in laws in town I haven't had a chance to play hardly at all. This week I should be able to catch up a lot. Last month was my first qualifying month, but I'm really...

Jonnymagic

I play ray and ancient grudge for the flashback -- but disenchant does both...would free up slots if I just went with that. IDK stony is really tough to beat, and you only have 4 sources that can cast disenchant if they stick it. The only way I can think of consistently beating it is a few more basi...

Jonnymagic

I'm still not sure how to beat stony silence. I wish I could find an effective "all permanents are indestructible this turn" Ala Boros Charm, but without a double mana cost like that for shatterstorm. Often though, I can win by t4 so its not as much of a beating as stony silence which can ...

Jonnymagic

Might not be the exact list but it has to be damn close to this: //Creatures 4 Tormented Hero 4 Judge's Familiar 4 Nivmagus Elemental 2 Artisan of Forms 2 Spiteful Returned 2 Vaporkin 4 Pain Seer 4 Agent of the Fates //Spells 4 Hidden Strings 3 Hands of Binding 3 Triton Tactics 3 Boon of Erebos //La...

Jonnymagic

All the luck. Ended up losing in the finals. Up to 5 rupees. Riding that Brobot train to valuetown. I lost to a deck I haven't seen before, was r/b/w good stuff deck? I don't even know how to classify it haha. Dark confidant, bolt, thoughtseize, inquisition, etc.

Jonnymagic

I've always liked consistency over power in sealed.
