For your consideration given that people are really starting to hate on Rabblemaster and red aggro is very likely to be a thing, especially early on: [deck] Creatures 2 Brimaz, King of Oreskos 4 Mantis Rider 3 Seeker of the Way 2 Stormbreath Dragon 4 Thunderbreak Regent Spells 2 Jeskai Charm 4 Light...

BlakLanner

Perhaps me as well.

BlakLanner

I also wanted a flyer that punishes people for trying to remove it.

BlakLanner

Now that the full set is spoiled I can say that I am less than impressed as to what this will do for our deck. This is my starting point for next seasion: [deck=Jeskai (DRK)] Creatures 3 Goblin Rabblemaster 4 Mantis Rider 3 Seeker of the Way 2 Thunderbreak Regent Spells 1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion 2 J...

Kait actually speaking wisdom? These forums really are doomed...

BlakLanner

Okay guys I need a bit of help here. I've never been to the SCGopens, and mostly do all my playing on cockatrice. So I have zero real life cards and need to get them. Do they sell them before the tournament at some kind of scg card sales traveling shop. Or do need to travel to the no-so-local gamin...

BlakLanner

That makes much more sense.

BlakLanner

Wait, if you died T1, how did you get an Eidolon out?

BlakLanner

He was getting taken out T1. Only Trap saves you from that.

BlakLanner

I swear, you run into storm so much more than you should.

BlakLanner

It has some minor uses against OmniTell and, if you want to go REALLY deep, Elves. Primarily Storm, though.

BlakLanner

That new Combust might make a good fit in our sideboards if Twin keeps being the best deck. Much easier to keep up one red as opposed to two.

BlakLanner

Anyone have thoughts on a viable, flash-in-the-pan shell that can run Drown in Sorrow, HDF, Anger, Archfiend of Depravity and enchantment hate? I know that I'm going to be seeing GW Devotion, red-based aggro and Naya Walkers...Jund would be interesting but the mana seems too ridiculous. Much of thi...

Having easily beaten said challenge, Version 2.0 This deck definitely plays more like a tempo deck than control.

BlakLanner

Fly over them and Erase the Unseens?

BlakLanner

Bitchslapping Emrakul is indeed a joy. As I said, it is worth testing. For now I will stick with my Bridges until otherwise convinced.

BlakLanner

I suppose it is at least worth testing. We need to find something to give us an edge against our bad matchups.

BlakLanner

Vald: You forgot Infect on that list. However, do you really think it is worth it to play the one Plateau for that? I suppose the risk is minor since few decks that you would bring it in against play Wasteland. Khaos: I agree with MDU on the 4x Fireblast. The card is just too valuable as a finisher....

BlakLanner

If all we are ever likely to use it for is Skullcrack mode, we may as well just play Skullcrack and not deal with more spells needing green mana.

BlakLanner

Holy fuck, that new Narset is insane.

BlakLanner

Because every moron and their boyfriend are moving to Abzan/Sultai control.

BlakLanner

It is accurate and explains your position. Good enough for me.

BlakLanner

@BlakLanner: will you be posting more legacy videos in the future? I plan on picking up magic again soon (in a few months) but I kinda forgot how to recognized decks for effective boarding.

I probably should do a few more sets of both Standard and Legacy. I will see what I can do.

BlakLanner

Is Treasure Cruise banned in legacy online?

They banned it in Legacy and Modern with the last B/R pass.

BlakLanner

They are equivalent. You are never getting to 6 mana to flash it back.

BlakLanner

Even more fun than siege rhino?

Having your arms and legs melted off with a slow acid is more fun than Siege Rhino.

BlakLanner

You strike me more as one of those Manaless Dredge players that only pretend that they actually know how to play Magic.

BlakLanner

Only because you have never actually played either game.

BlakLanner

Only if it was a stampede to the inevitable barbecue.

BlakLanner

I liked Phoenix when I had room for it. I stopped when everyone started playing more exile effects. As far as Crater's Claws, I would rather play Miindswipe since ferocious is so hard to us to trigger. May as well try for some extra value.

BlakLanner

I prefer Cruise myself but it is hard to argue against 4 of either.

BlakLanner

All I see are Siege Rhinos failing when they were needed most. Most glorious indeed. May we feast on rhino meat and gain cosmic power!

BlakLanner

It just means that I will always be on the play with the deck.

BlakLanner

X-3, you can make Day 2 at X-2. The worry about burn hate is still valid as it is probably the easiest of the top decks to hate out. We only have so many Skullcracks or Rain of Gore.

BlakLanner

I definitely like Legacy more than Modern. Modern feels like a slightly slower version of what would happen if Legacy didn't have safety valves like Force of Will. Everything is "draw your sideboard card or die".

BlakLanner

Modern's a fucking terrible format.

BlakLanner

I never was a fan of Roc in this deck. Having a 5 drop that relies on other creatures attacking just to get its value seems a bit off with only 12-16 in our deck.
