[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

MTGO I have to say you are the sole reason I even bothered to LOOK at modern. I enjoy the burn matchups you post and frankly you're my weekly link to the mtgsalvation boards. I kidna get irked more people on here don't seem to support your videos, but I personally thank you. I would like to do some similiar vids, as each season I'm looking for this same deck type. I don't have the tech set up though really. Also, I'd have to buy all those damn cards on mtgo. I just don't know enough about modern to post constructively, I feel... however... its funny the cards in the burn decks you use are all from the last few years overall so it seems reaonable at least.

[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

I lurk sometimes but its like ... I feel like we're not really talking about the game so much a lot of the time.
My favorite standard deck right now is this:
I got it a few weeks back from an Scg event.
So far I feel like dispel should be swapped for negate
I like it because it feels like the style of deck that I more prefer. Dos Rakis/Demigod Red/sledghammer.
Little guys, backed by disruption, and decent to strong removal (in this format its pretty good), Followed by dragons
I kinda look for it a each season, and it plays similar to R/w did last season.
I found the treasure cruise to be excellent which I don't get to play with that direct card draw effect often in decks like this. Its really solid. Give it a try.

[deck]1 Swamp
7 Mountain
4 Bloodstained Mire

[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

So I have this awkward thing going on. As you can see my decks that I currently own are Jund, Abzan Company, Abzan Midrange and Grixis Control. Im also planning to invest into Standard again by building that sweet BG Demonic Pact deck.
Standard hobos who play budget garbage should be looked upon with suspicion
:hug: c'mere. I'm so glad to see you suffering, and red decks winning. You've made my day.

MTGO market tanking in response to payout changes. Wonder if I should sell into the downturn and buy back at the low point...
Financially, sounds like the thing to do. The thing I've always worried about is what happens if they decide
to scrap the whole system and come out with something "the same but new". If they stop supporting it
in lieu of a new program are people supposed to be able to recoup digital cash? I mean I've always wondered is wotc somehow priced into keeping MTGO going or can they just shut the system down at anytime and be like *shrug* if it tanks.
I played very little on there and I just never got into how it worked in the longterm.

My favorite deck ever was "Machine Head" but Sledgehammer... and Dos Rakis were not but a smidgen behind it.
Fucking loved those things, it really showed me there were a lot of times that you can play the kind of deck you want even when faced with infinite thragtusks. The card strength just has to be there.

I ended 9 -5 -1 first big tourney, not happy but that's how it ended.

My first huge event like this I hadn't slept for many hours, and its a bit more stressful in person.
One thing I've learned is a lesson about variance, and how you must not let it make you tilt. There are a lot of matches and games to be played and lost so don't let the ones that got away infuriate you when they win off that 1 card they needed to topdeck.

I had to step back and say "Don't TILT" and remind myself that it happened just as much for me as anyone else a couple times that day.

The other difficulty I felt I faced was thinking that I'm supposed to be learning something from every match. I don't know if that's the case or not but wanting to get better going forward there were a lot of my wins there were essentially "Thoughtsieze...Rabblemaster...Rabblelmaster....???... Win". Mean while there were a lot of my losses that were some iteration of the same thing.
Siding is more important than you can imagine, and the more interactive games are pretty damn fun. I saw the interaction between soulfire grand master and anger of the gods post siding , as my opponent gained 27 life and board swept me. I still won that game and he was unbelievably cool about it, I hope I can be that guy one day soon.
The whole thing wasn't fun, and I think its because I'm not more active in my Local Mtg scene. Maybe I'll get there soon.

On cheating: Its can get tempting, the desire to "win at any cost" is probably lurking somewhere in all of us. So I'm not going to act like he violated all that is good and holy because failed that test. We're all going to fail moral tests like that at some point in our lives. Its hard to take the MTG community seriously because they literally never stop talking shit (at least online) and now no matter what James does in magic, there's going to be some punk ass in the background whispering "cheater".
All that being said, I think it is about ego, I don't think Mr.Fazzolari needs the money most likely so let this type of thing might be the KIND of humbling experience that every great player inevitably needs. I still think he has some insights to share, and if he comes round here, I wouldn't fuck with him about it. James, you gotta know who your people are man. *bro hug*
It'll be alright.

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 gaming store that sell magic singles? Advice?

Ah and I'm pretty settled on mardu. I'll post the list I'm looking at in a bit. Hopefully some of you know for sure. Thanks in advance M_v
I would suggest buying them all online if you have time to get them shipped to you beforehand. SCG jacks up the pricing on site.
I dont' have time I'm afraid. The scg is saturday, and its friday morning here I'm just kinda stuck with what I'm stuck with I'm hoping the vendors will be enough.

New set looks more like a control set to me.
Typically how a 100% midrange era ends up I'd think. Considering, the more people are pigeon-hold into playing midrange the easier it is for control strategies to prey on it. Thought to be fair there are a quite few anti-control midrange cards now. So we'll have to just wait and see.

It's better in some cases and worse in others. By itself, Stonewright was a 1/1 that needed a partner to do anything. In topdeck mode, Lightning Berserker is bonkers.

It's been a long time since red decks had such an efficient mana sink. I'm interested to see what else comes out of the set. Maybe Big Red can be a thing again.
I feel like it closer now than before but R/w is pretty damned close and shares the same conceptual space... and is proven.
Id like to see this work I like 2 1/2 of the cards right now Berserker/Thunder regent and the haste spell (which is a different thing all together) but what I think would easy the decks existence quite a bit is a "skull crack" of some kind. No needed "perse" but would make things a LOT easier. So far so good.
It has some similarities when looking at it within each deck's respective format, but in a vacuum the two decks differ greatly. Back in the days of INN/RTR Big Red we had mana sinks like Stonewright and Hellion Crucible to help fight flood. There are no such tools at the disposal of RW. Soulfire Grand Master requires at least 5 mana to be useful (and usually more), while Stonewright could do his business early and late while Hellion Crucible only required three mana total AND was a land itself.

If you asked me what I preferred in a red deck between the two, INN/RTR Big Red would be my answer, and it wouldn't be particularly close.
Thats cool. I talk alot about archetypes and the archetype we WANT to play overall is demigod red. So I'm not exactly stunned that you'd prefer the addtional mana sinks of stonewright and friend, not to mention the almighty "Thundermaw".

Once we start talking the same language about thinks we can more easily recognize how to build the deck each season, what the relative value of the cards are, and how good is it at any given time. 3 years is a long time to get it together, I think right now is a great time for "us" in general.

Also, they printed the "Skullkrack" effect I was asking for...
Atarkas Command
RG
Instant

Choose two —

• Your opponents can't gain life this turn.

• Atarka's Command deals 3 damage to each opponent.

• You may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield.

• Creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain reach until end of turn.

EDIT:
1st. I'm glad to have something like this.
2nd. I hate that its in green instead of black, which might have netted something like Kill a guy + No lifegain i.e. "Fuck yo' rhino"
3. Land as an instant seems interesting, but no gamebreaking.
Lastly, the Pump ability... damn them, for not giving evasion, all in all it isn't a waste of a slot and that's what matters.

Aren't cards like Generator Servant and Dragonlord's Servant played like green cards? Why do they keep appearing in red?
Because red is supposed to "share" mana acceleration with green since it isn't getting anymore land d or some such color pie bullshit. However, they saddle it with "bad" acceleration creatures because they don't want to obsolete green and any ritual they make contributes to the storm deck forever. Those 2 factors... most likely, and thus weird mostly unplayable mana-ish guys in red.

They might on some level also be serious about building some kind of red/dragon them block deck but it sure as hell will need better cards, so only the set will. Honestly, I'm dubious of that when the red raise the alarm didn't put 1/1 hatchling dragons into play.

New set seems... good. I've never been remotely a story guy, but its weird that the cards don't have much flavor text. Guess I'll have to wait till the end of the spoiler.

Thunderbreak reagent. I'm curious as to building a fires of yavimaya style midrange hasted deck. So maybe red/x skies can be just great from right there with dragon tempest.
One of the things I couldn't stand about the ashcloud phoenix is that it lacked haste. I'm not sure how much of a deck can be built around it just from such little info but as long as the cards are decent enough without the Dragon tempest in play it should be an awesome block deck at least.

Also... that lightning berserker, Dick = Diamonds.

I refuse to play a deck when I'm not practiced in the mirror and I'm both not practiced in, nor interested in practicing the UB mirror.

Having said that, DECK IS GREAT right now.
Bullshit LP. :smiledown:

You mean to say you've been practicing the jeski mirror? We've been playing this deck for 4 seasons now "essentially". Its the same damn archetype and you should play it.

However.... G/r devotion will be huge so I mean if your logic revolved more around that matchup it would make more sense. I wish you the best either way gl man.

Spam just spams unrelated or condescending bullshit. Your post has a topic (magic cards, and why red ones are bad), but I'm not sure you made a complete argument.
No probably not. However, are you interested in hearing that argument, or are you just interested in condescending bullshit concerning my ability to argue? Can't tell, but it seems the latter, sir.

We get a pretty constant reminder that "Red cards are bad" from Kait, and the rest of the slumdog crew. Further, to be fair there really are very good red cards out there. Most of the successful red decks, in the beginning, really DID use some bad cards but the burn was pretty damned decent. Deadguy red, was not using high quality guys exactly.
The thing about r/x decks has been they're winning off the strength of the stratagems they employ. Slight, and Ponza, wanted to kill you before you got rolling, (with ponza actually working to set you back on mana). Wildfire decks (with or without aperture played a similar resource denial game similar in function to Armageddon decks. Demigod worked because it had a large amount of things to spend its excess mana on, and a dragon that provided its own resilience.
The seemingly unwritten social contact for the game is "Red has to get efficient weak little guys, because hey they get really efficient burn spells!" and "We really can't let them get good card advantage, because well... burnspells!" and finally, "They can't destroy enchantments, cause... fuck those guys :shrug: ". Well as evidenced by this thread there are a lot people willing to play subpar things to try to reach a certain playstyle.
The problem I see is that we live in a creature based era(in standard at least), and to quote kibler "fat don't burn" so basically the social contract is a bit off. Creating cheap creatures that both provide mana AND card advantage, like Caryatid and courser push small guy aggro decks very much down. Midrange, monsters that come into play and gain life, or provide infinite blockers push it down even further, and I'm not sure which is worse Rhino? Or thragtusk? Huntmaster? xenagos?
I'm not sure which person it was on here stating that red is just a splash color, but as much as I hate it, he kinda has a point.
Now none of that is to say that there aren't GOOD red decks out there, or that you can't finagle some workable schematic, but its laughable a lot of times how much powerful things scale and the color pie stays the same.
I guess i kinda laughed at soreen sorani crying when the season started about how his precious wrath effects got moved to 5, because, I' was thinking...its pretty obvious you have access to 3 mana sweepers now, being even MORE punishing to the decks that threaten you, and they totally figured that out.
Further I'm not even really biased versus control or midrange either. I actually think the situation is that "big red" is a deck that hasn't seen play in years, and probbably CAN'T see serious play because and here's the point "THE POWER LEVEL OF THE CARDS IS TOO LOW" . Monored devotion just wasn't going to win it last season, the other decks were just too strong and could side to be stronger. We did have a really good burn strategy, but again it isn't really adding to the things that red can be ABLE to do, and soon as the burn gets weaker OR the creatures get inexpensive and too strong to burn, the social contract is broken.
I'd just like see them really balance the game to where things aren't so extremely pushed one way or the other.
If anyone ever really takes the time to see what all the other colors have access to and how little red gets it's kind of
apparent things are not balanced even if we do make it work.

Oh and since we can't have stone rain, I'd like to at least have turf wound or something.

Edit: The rest of that was about making red the natural foil to some blue things, I'm not being a whiny snot who is afraid of countermagic. I'm reasonably annoyed that red doesn't do its job, as advertised opposing its enemies color when White and blue sure as hell do, and its easy for them to do so. There are a lot of options to make it work as well, but... besides me no on really gives a fuck about this I'm sure and I'm pretty far away from being able to do anything but bitch about it on the internet. So... I know return you to the regular scheduled rhino report. (but in an midrange dominated field control should be winning, I've heard)

I don't think you actually made a complete statement in that last post.
It'll be ok, jack. There's literally a guy named spam here, who comes and spams. So its really not too unusual all things considered.

I don't see how a creature not being-uncounterable (not a red ability) is a failure of design :P
To late to be civil now bitch, thou art accursed! :argh: Eat hot variance, mana screw incoming your way. . .
Anyway done with that.

I was watching the Scgopen, and being able to use temur saber-tooth to bounce genesis hydra looks so spicy! Ugin put a stop to round 2 but the Joey Page deck looks to be pretty johnny magic. I'm surprised anyone got a Fires of yavimaya (temur ascendancy) style card to work. Its been a long time and people have tried it occasionally. :apirate:

In other news that temur ascendency combo deck is quite the upgrade from the sultai version with villainous wealth, and looks way more fun.

Counterspells are too good bro. They should fight liken men!

You could at least admit its shitty design.
I expect it from those pederasts, but you... mocking me in my solemnity.
A curse upon your games. You shall fail not by your skill but by variance, by the the flame gods hammer, I swear it.
