Dies to Removal

I hope Khaos has been practicing sealed pools!

Godspeed you! Beard Emperor

That band sucks

Maybe, but my pop culture reference was a 10/10

One might say you turned it up to 11.

Unless you're at the Pro tour. Then they'll try to put you in a pod of six.

^hahaha

You could just say "Fuck you" as you jam foil Lava Spikes, Rift Bolts, and Goblin Guides down their throats.

There's nothing more elitist OR ironic than crushing people with your foil Burn deck.

After people at my game store got sick of me playing burn I'm toying with Boros Norin in modern and men it's a blast to play. Also quite competitive.... unfortunately i miss a couple of auriok champions that would fit the deck perfectly.

People sick of playing against Burn.

Your solution: play an even more annoying deck.

Seems reasonable.

Nice title.

We are Borg. Resistance is futile.

We're all parts of your personality merging back into your collective consiousness.

Perhaps the dreams you had of talking to yourself are finally coming to fruition.

It looks like the artist tried to do his own shitty version of Brainstorm, except it turned out even worse because it looks like the subject is under attack by giant semen torpedoes.

Inb4 "Goyf should have been reprinted at common."

Thrillho apparently enjoys talking to himself about the injustices of the creators of a children's card game.

4 Innocent Blood seems a bit much. Otherwise it looks like a classic Zem deck.

No goblin guide reprint...

Yeah, and someone bought my last copy on eBay the night before. Sorry broham.

It is bad and you should feel bad.

I do feel bad for that kid who is goin to skip a perfectly legit 10$ meal just to end up with an Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder

If that kid wants to spend $10 to crack a pack for himself instead of, you know, DRAFTING IT AS THAT IS THE BEST PART ABOUT THE SET, then that's on him. He'll learn eventually.

Full disclosure: I split a box with a friend. We're using said box to do sealed or draft depending on how many people we can get at my place, but we're dividing the card pool between the two of us afterward for value.

I thought the full spoiler looked pretty good...

Full MM2 spoiler is up. No Goblin Guide reprint.

I got top 4 at a PPTQ with Jeskai midrange last week. I could post a slightly edited list if you like. Can't go wrong with Esper though.

And Siege Rhino looks like every other Magic card to the uninitiated.

like wtf

Yep, that skin and a couple of others are unusable on mobile because of that bug.

not seeing anything like that, are you guys on some low phone resolution?

Nope. Galaxy S4. I wonder if having Reading Mode on matters.

I'm on Pro silver now and there is no problem.

All the users online have their posts covered in "online" banners, making them very hard to read.

And we thought WotC was good at screwing up websites.

Silvestri and nme with the combo breaker. How awkward.

Jack don't know SHIT about tires.

The board went all Arabic on us and is forcing us to read left to right.

We had 38 with prizes for top 8 only. About how many people do you need to start giving to top 16 usually?

Just get on the Grixis Delver train. It's a lot more fun than UR was even with Treasure Cruise.

It's probably not even pack foil.

Esper dragons of course.

I never found GW that bad. Anger just crushes them if you drop it early. I am very surprised that you didn't like Ojutai. Did it die when you attacked every time or something? It should have been a real player against GW, Mono Green, Bant, and Abzan at least. Would it have been better as Stormbreath?

I never drew my Angers postboard against GW unfortunately. With Ojutai I was almost always behind when I played him and he had to trade with fatties or he would die when attacking.

I actually am beginning to think it would have been better as Ashcloud Phoenix.

What did and didn't you like about the deck?

Ojutai was a waste of space all day. I know it's a great card but it never did anything for me. This could just be due to how my matches played out (my matchups in order were GW Manifest, Mono Green Beatdown, GR aggro, Esper control, Bant heroic, Abzan aggro, and Abzan control). I would rather this have been a second Elspeth and some other spell.

Soulfire Grand Master was insane. Got to buyback my spells all day, and it was most handy in my top 8 match against Abzan aggro where I was able to continually buyback my Lightning Strikes to kill his Vampire token threatening to kill my Elspeth, a Fleecemane Lion, and a Warden before finally stabilizing and winning off an Elspeth ultimate.

Elspeth was Elspeth. It was my first time playing with it and the way it just wins games if not answered immediately is like control's version of Goblin Rabblemaster.

Mantis Rider is very well positioned right now. It allowed me to outrace heroic and mono green.

Brimaz was very good too. I liked playing two. He was pivotal to a few of my victories, and his synergy with Stoke was very relevant.

My sideboard was probably off by one or two cards. I think my counter suite was correct but Surge of Righteousness was a little awkward if my opponent only had Warden or Fleecemane out. This would probably have been better as Roast.

Basically this deck is one of those 50% decks with no really bad matchups. Only GW Manifest felt truly terrible but that was exacerbated by being on the draw for two games. There were a lot of comments from the peanut gallery on my deck and the Esper control player in particular was pretty salty about losing to "Jeskai cards-I-own."

I lost in the top 4 1-2 vs Abzan Control. Can't close!

After losing round one to GW Devotion, I rattled off four straight, extremely hard-fought wins to draw round 6 into the top 8 of this PPTQ. Have yet to win a die roll and will likely be on the draw in every top 8 match. Hilarious happenings include losing a die roll when my opponent first rolled a 3.

Wish me luck!

17 R, 16 W, 15 U. I'm fine with those numbers.
