Dies to Removal

Happy Birthday, Alex!

I wish i could speak instead of type. I'm a lot better at doing that. Whenever I want to type out my thoughts on a deck, it just comes out stilted and infantile. I feel like I never can get down what I really want to say. Does anyone else have that problem? Yes, it's one of the reasons why I don't ...

Platypus

Congrats on the top 8, Fate! I saw the stream, it was very interesting. Looking forward to more thoughts on your deck.

Platypus

Legion Loyalist + Spike Jester? Does anyone else smell a 22 land Das Aggro deck?

And if there is, is it better then BTE?

I don't think so:

So I follow the group "I fucking love science" of Facebook, and they post all kinds of interesting stuff. This was just posted: "Does it look like these flatworms are dancing? Well, not quite. They're actually penis fencing. This species is hermaphroditic and all individuals have work...

I cut Ash Zealot: http://community.ist.utl.pt/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=982&p=63498#p63498 Feel free to beat me over the head, but I've never felt better about my list than now. Ash Zealots and rancors were, and I always kenw deep down, "pet cards" to me. I really liked them, I really ...

Congratulations, Windstrider!

Garb.

Age.

I just noticed that it requires a fifth land to be of any use. Yeah, it's trash then, as a fourth turn play it would have been interesting.

M14 Rare:

Awaken the Ancient 1RRR

Enchantment - Aura

Enchant Mountain
Enchanted Mountain is a 7/7 red Giant creature with haste. It's still a land.

I giggled a bit when I saw it.

Platypus

Who should be in charge of recruiting him?
Fate's our Gruul man, right?

ME GRUUL TOO!

But Fate's more active...

Best report ever?

Happy Birthday, Fax!

I thought earlier promos were the Titan cycle, which were very much foil as the Grave Titan DOTP promo I have is foil. Yeah, they were foil. It was Grave Titan, Frost Titan and Inferno Titan if I recall. Edit: Yep, found em. Ok, so I was wrong about the earlier ones. But DotP2013 promos weren't at ...

Platypus

The promos for DotP2013 and earlier weren't foil, so I don't expect the promos for DotP2014 to be either. Scavenging Ooze as the iPad promo is pretty sweet though. I was a bit bummed when the iPad promo for DotP2013 was Serra Avatar, but this more than makes up for it.

Platypus

I need to read those books some day...

Platypus

Also, redheaded wildling chick - WOW.

Yeah, forget what I wrote about The Imp being the best part of GoT...

And everyone wants to wipe Joffrey from the face of the earth. I haven't disliked a character this much since Babylon 5's Emperor Cartagia and he was small potatoes compared to Joffrey.

Platypus

Already a few episodes into Game of Thrones season 2, my two favorite things so far are the Imp (the actor is great ... Yes, Peter Dinklage's Tyrion is easily the best part of GoT for me. He a great actor. I can really recommend the first movie I saw him in, "The Station Agent" (http://ww...

Platypus

Since you have 8 fetches I'd consider 1-2 Grim Lavamancer. As for Ash Zealot instead of Berserker...well Ash Zealot is good, but it can't be cast from BTE mana. Some other thoughts: - The lone Seal of Fire, why? You don't have Tarmogoyfs, so you don't need an enchantment in the graveyard. And the Eg...

Platypus

This is definitely the kind of build I'd like to play (is there any glaring reason to play straight Gruul Zoo over this? Hackblade looks tech as hell) if I got into it though, $45 fetches are a still being a pretty good deterrent >.> Well, Gruul Zoo has a more consistent manabase, and with Stomping...

Platypus

1) Probably right on the land count. 18 feels better. 2) Lava Spike is there to increase the number of possible pathways for a turn 3 kill. I do like the idea of Dismember though and I'd probably remove Mutagenic Growth for 2-3 of them. 3) The problem I have with Rancor is that it opens you up to 2...

Platypus

like I said Idk much about modern. What early defenders/walls go down that deserve removal? and if those are your only weakness, you got 7 flex slots in the SB for dismember/w/e. Spellskite . And that's reason enough to warrant removal in most cases. That, and Tarmogoyf, which can be pretty big whe...

Platypus

Any opinions on these three Modern decks? My FNM is Modern next week and I hope to participate, but I can't decide what to run. I'm leaning towards the Gruul Zoo deck. I don't know the current local metagame, but I expect tier 1 decks at the top. [deck]Land (20) 2 Stomping Ground 4 Blood Crypt 3 Sc...

Platypus

With Black you can put in Bump in the Night as another burn spell, but without fetches you need to go with 4 Blood Crypts and 4 Blackcleave Cliffs. You also gain Rakdos Charm as a good sideboard card. With Green you could go the Gruul Zoo route. Tarmogoyfs are of course best to have, but there are s...

Platypus

So some modern was mentioned earlier. If you bros wouldn't mind I posted my RDW deck in the modern RDW thread and would appreciate some tips. Pretty sure I need another one drop to replace the berserkers. Other than that hopefully the list isn't too bad. I have Lavamancers but lack the fetches to s...

Platypus

This is my list, I'd appreciate some suggestions [deck]4 goblin guide 4 keldon marauders 4 stormblood berserker 4 hellspark elemental 4 ash zealot 4 lightning bolt 4 incinerate 4 magma jet 4 rift bolt 4 lava spike 20 mountain[/deck] Probably need to replace the berserkers with a 1 drop. I probably ...

Platypus

Go with Gruul Zoo. It is an established deck and races even eggs when it was legal. I would strongly recommend some Deglamer in the sb instead of back to nature in order to deal with wurmcoil engines. Burn is pretty suck in modern now. Goblins are kinda unstable and nothing near the power-level of ...

well, the new Grixis Control popping up can. Also Jund handles him decently. But yeah Kait's list (that I playtest against for hardmode challenges because holyfuck essence scatters, pillars, spears, oh my), and Esper control usually just go "well fuck." Bant Control as well. Basically if ...

177cm or 5'10". Yay! We're "heightbuddies"... :) I'm usually around 160 myself. How do you do it? I feel like I'm perilously thin around 160 :( I've always been skinny. If I go over 165 I start feeling heavy. I used to be even lighter as a teenager/young adult, but I've put on weight...

Platypus

Thanks for the write-up! The deck looks really solid. Against what decks do you bring in Domri? It's a card I haven't tried in my lists yet, mostly because I don't have'em. So I always wondering about how important he is, and what I can replace him with?

Platypus

How tall are you zem? 148 can't be much more than bones and organs.

Also, I like the new smiley...

My view of the term competitive is more like Fate's, but I certainly understand Alex' and Kaitscralt's view of it as well. I'm not going to argue against it, my thoughts on the term were mostly philosophical in nature.

Platypus

Hound of Griselbrand for example. I'm not sure using a card like that is worth having a non-existent deck called "Gruul Warhammer" in Competitive instead of actual Gruul lists that people think of when considering the archetype currently. I always assumed Competitive was for discussing de...

I follow Wil Wheaton on various social sites, because he's a cool guy. This morning he posted this:

About friends...you will always find new friends. If you have great friends, do try to hold on to them. But if you part ways, don't worry too much, you will find new ones. My own situation is basically this: I had some good friends at school as a child, but we moved away and I basically lost them. E...

We're big time The Walking Dead fans, both books and show. I agree about season 2, it has its moments but is a bit weak overall. Season 3 was just great, but the ending was a bit disappointing. I guess they build up for some stuff in Season 4. I'd like to involve the books in that discussion so I wo...
