Dies to Removal

So I had a play in an 8 man today that might have been the most fun I've had playing a game of magic. I'm down to 2, with blinkmoth nexus, an open mountain, and springleaf drum. In my GY there is ray of revelation. The opponent has a gladecover suited up with rancor and a coronet. He swings in and s...

Jonnymagic

Won my 4th modern 8 man -- Up to 4 qps. Wish the ones I played wednesday counted would be up to 8 already =(. Oh well, Brobots is putting in work -- 4/4 in 8mans, up to 1797 constructed rating.

Jonnymagic

@Z -- grats! My wife is the office manager for a law firm, so my family has their feet knee deep in that ish too lol. Thankfully her lawyers mostly do non-litigation stuff, so her hours rarely fluctuate.

Jonnymagic

I would have 4 -- but I guess it doesn't count til midnight =(.

Jonnymagic

Well that sux. I won 2 8 man pods in modern lol. What a waste =(. Oh well, at least I get packs lol.

Jonnymagic

So for some reason I'm still getting QPs for S4, I thought the new season started today?

Jonnymagic

Won my first modern 8 man today -- whoo!

Jonnymagic

This may be my favorite version of the deck so far, including s/b.

Jonnymagic

@z Triple queue? Geez, lol. I've been double queuing the 2mans in modern just to get a billion matches in to learn the lines, etc. and that is tough for me at times. On the plus side, playing 8 burn spells in an affinity deck is probably the most fun thing ever. It makes their artifact hate a lot wo...

I've beta tested ESO a few times, and it has been pretty good. I've played almost every MMO since EQ, and currently still play WOW some as well. Hex is the game that I'm most excited about on PC, and Destiny the one I'm most excited about on console.

Jonnymagic

I don't use my degree for my profession -- but the fact I have one is good enough for anywhere I've applied. They haven't even cared what it was in. Most employers like to see it because it shows you can finish something. I have a degree in Biblical studies with a minor in music, was a pastor for 7 ...

Jonnymagic

@zem what matchups are you liking YP the best -- control/mono b/mono u? I love YP and have been playing him in those matchups and loving it. I swapped YP for satyr.

Jonnymagic

I don't have shatterstorm. When will you be on next I'll get you the rest for b/w control?

Jonnymagic

I go full retard in Legacy. Just give it all to them. If they die, they die.

You never go full retard.

Jonnymagic

Ive been playing a ton of modern the last two days thanks to mdu, and am running red robots playing full sets of galvanic blast and shrapnel blast. Ive only been doing the tournament room until i learn the lines, sb play, and matchups. Ive done surprisingly well, winning 27 of 31 matchups so far. I ...

Jonnymagic

AWESOME screenshots =D -- people get so mad. No one would ever say this in real life to a person they are talking to. I don't know why to them its ok in mtgo, lol.

Jonnymagic

I'm playing the robots he gave me -- im trying out both the blue and the red version -- the red version seems to be the most fun to me, especially since so many decks hurt themselves with their lands so much. I'll see which one I end up liking better =D.

Jonnymagic

I'll get you the lbz and hdf when my bud logs in.

Jonnymagic

I heart you LP <3.

Jonnymagic

I'm still debating if I can afford a modern deck to play for MOCS season 3. @LP were you going to play that robots deck MDU has? That will kind of determine what direction I need to go in.

Jonnymagic

BO is a BEATING -- it turns off all hasty guys as well. It's possible I may be changing firedancer to young pyro because its good vs control and creature based decks, where firedancer is just the latter. Will test them out more =D. The other s/b I've messed with is 1xmuta 1xsparky instead of wear/te...

Jonnymagic

Im just gonna leave this here: they are remaking Gauntlet Legends. THE FEELS!

Jonnymagic

I play the main list with a few changes -- 1 SBD, 2 chains, 2 shock main, 23 land (3 guildgate 3 muta) -- S/b 2 chains, 3 firedancer, 2 wear/tear, 2 fated conflag, 1 wild ricochet, 2 BO, 3 viashino. I tried to pack hate for the decks worst matchups, and lose a few win % points to control. I'm still ...

Jonnymagic

GUNSMOKE!

Jonnymagic

BO is the best card in the mirror, wild ricochet the second best. I have ricocheted a total of 5 helix's in the mirror, and you just win at that point. I still have not lost a mirror match, and I'm up to 23 matches against it. I have played against people I know are good pilots of it too, but thankf...

Jonnymagic

I would generally agree, but wear/tear played in this deck can be tempo. It functions like a chained to the rocks, a card we would just lose without. For one mana it destroys cards that we would otherwise just lose to, or in the case of g/r functions as a 5th chains which is arguably our best card i...

I CANT HELP BEING A JOVIAL PERSON

Jonnymagic

Reasons I like it over revoke:
1.)It actually kills some relevant creatures.
2.)Instant
3.)It deals with artifacts also, most importantly the god weapons.

I kind of want to test out keening apparition, but it feels a bit too clunky. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though. =D

Jonnymagic

@dechs I haven't really played it enough, but from what I've played it has been fun. Everyone talks about the druid and priest being OP, but I've had some success with all of them really. The game im most excited about being a part of is HEX though. I did the kickstarter so I'm in the alpha, and the...

Jonnymagic

I've been using 2 wear/tear in my board for about 3 weeks now. I will always board it in for u/w control. I still think it's a versatile answer for some cards that are real issues with the deck: whip, courser, and dsphere -- and it has incidental value in other matchups like hexproof. I've won games...

Jonnymagic

The more time the better if i can somehow get a deck. Then I can actually get used to playing it and get a little bit of a handle on the format haha.

Jonnymagic

I'll play anything just to at least attempt the prelims haha. Obviously if they want to use it by all means, but if not I'd love to at least play games in the format so that I can make a valiant effort at making a run for it, lol. Let me know!

Jonnymagic

@ham/mdu/z I'd love to do modern, but I've never played a single game of it and have no cards on MTGO. I have a decent amount of paper cards for it, but none online. IDK that I can afford to pick up a deck for the prelims -- I'd love to at least attempt to grind out a bunch of games before the preli...

Jonnymagic

Aw dammit the format for feb25-mar 26 is modern isnt it. I haven't played a single game of modern in my life, lol. Welp, I guess the only thing I'm getting is the promo haha.

Jonnymagic

GOT THERE -- sub par u/w heroic deck for the win! First 15 qp season =D

Jonnymagic

Lost in finals of 8 man to get 1 QP, hopped in a draft with my packs to try to epicly grab my last one. In the finals of le draft playing an all in u/w heroic deck. I know for all of you eleventy billion QP people it might not be a large feat, but Im one 1 match away from qualifying 0_0. Let's see w...

Jonnymagic

Oh I've done that before. This one was for the lulz >=D. I've done it before where the sequence is sphinx > skullcrack > dissolve > skullcrack > dispell > ricochet targeting dissolve. Targeting the lightning strike was just to rub it in, lol. I've won a game before also by wild ricocheting my own he...

Jonnymagic

Awesome scenario of the night -- had esper to 3, lightning strike and wild ricochet in hand. I dome him with lightning strike, he dissolves it, I copy the lightning bolt and the damage goes through. Boomskies.

I've liked it a lot. I wish it cost less but it really has been a good addition. It even works vs control bc it can blank any PW except vraska unless the - the turn it comes down. That is only really played in that bug superfriends deck though and I've only really seen that in paper.
