Dies to Removal

Yarpus

Not even a card.

Yarpus

Yep, I reduced CJM to 3 (to find a place for additional Varolz... this guy is nuts!). I also added Oozes (so my only instants/sorceries are Doom Blades). Wasteland Vipers seem underwhelming tho. What are the alternatives? I was thinking about Dryad Militiant - aggresive drop, with Varolz gives 2 +1/...

Yarpus

You mean Scavenging Ooze or Predatory Ooze?

Why Stonewright stopped being played? You know that now we actually have additional combos in form of Mindsparker in terms of being awesome guy who kills everything while getting soulbonded with Stonewright? Or even Boros Reckoner, but he requires additional mana. Not to mention Exava. [deck]Creatur...

I have to admit that we are going with something closer to Neo-Noir. We want to fuse that nearly poetic Noir (hey, Chandler is one of my main inspirations!) with something more realistic and brutal. I think the closest thing to what we want to achieve is Taxi Driver movie. Hell, you could check this...

I nearly started to date a girl just because she's accountant. God what happens to me. Also, if someone would be interested, here are some minor arts from the game. Logo, main character (Philip Hackneye, private detective with issues) and Mia Rushi (well... a hooker. with issues as well). http://img...

Why was I so eager to be an adult? :shrug: Same here. I'm spending most of my days now trying to figure out how to run company and not give away 70% of your income to country WHILE also paying lots of cash not dependent on anything. Obstacles you face when you try to start a company here (most funn...

You really should play Snapcasters while being in UR. And Quicken might be much better than Thought Scour unless you like to mill yourself with that. I even remember first deck I assembled after the break I've had from MTG... UR Counterburn. Even while it was crappy (hey, the manabase was terrible) ...

Yarpus

Anyone can fill me into whole Purge the Profane thingie? Pretty please?

Yarpus

Thanks for intel! What the hell is this whole Purge the Profane combo people are talking about? Bonfire is pretty bad when people have access to creatures on-the-curve or above. We're living in era of 2/2 for 1, 3/3 for 2, 4/4 for 3. I'd drop Stonewright and Phoenix. You don't have that many burn sp...

Try to get it closer to this.

Yarpus

I could live with that, especially when I don't scoop while looking at Loxodon Smiter. Or have the capability of doing 1-sides wrath.

Yarpus

Nearly no deck plays a creature that survives Mizzium Mortars. I really don't get it why people don't use 4 of in this kind of deck.

Yarpus

Not sure why. It shuts down control a lot, but it might also hurt us in the process.

Yarpus

@Johhny Most of issues you mentioned are straight deck issues. It needs tuning, not throwing it to bin. Look. - some people would say that playing Chandra and Bonfire is risky as hell. I'd say it's unsynergistic. - you didn't played removal which is actually strong against midrange (Mizzium Mortars)...

Yarpus

+0: Pimpin ain't eazy.

Yarpus

Hi! Sorry for the grammar - and I'm not sorry about the Tibalt. He was the hero we needed back in the days, but we didn't deserved. Now I became even worse as I'm trying to convience people that Mono Red Control with new Chandra is the way to go. So... umm... yeah, I'm terrible person. (also, I wasn...

Yarpus

Yep, I guess it's just Mono Red Control FTW.

So... what do you think about playing 24 lands, 4 Mutavaults with 4 Reckoners? Too greedy?

Yarpus

Johnny, you are neglecting her main and only ability you should care about. 0. Do you know what happens when red can actually draw cards? Yes, our cards are the most efficent ones in colour pie. We're drawing pure damage. Pure killing. Flexxible removal/wincons cards or threats people hate to answer...

Yarpus

Why does Clifftop Retreat get the nod? It's ok to take some damage, especially with lifegain. Gruul lists are doing it. ett You'll never keep 1-lander, and be extremally cautious about keeping 2-landers as well. Clifftop is okay here. On the other hand, playing Foundries doesn't give you really tha...

Yarpus

The whole point is not to. I want to minimize the damage I deal to myself trough lands. I'm playing 4 copies of Burning Earth and additionaly shocks himself are gonna hurt me. Sooner or later. You have to think about specifics of this kind of control. After stabilizing the board I have not that many...

Yarpus

Quality content as always. Damn, I feel weird trying to get people's attention to Chandra in this kind of deck. She's terrible in any aggro iteration of Red and can't be played together with counterspells - still, I believe she's damn worth building around her. 380th in Japan? From what I understood...

Yarpus

Weirdest idea ever. Splash White for Warleader's Helix and Rest in Peace. Instead of shocklands... use Plains. Our most colour-intensive card is Boros Reckoner and what stops this deck from splashing stuff is mostly Burning Earth. Now it starts to work awesomely. [deck]Creatures (12): 4 Chandra's Ph...

Yarpus

This is my general list of cards I consider good for Mono Red Control/Midrange. So, all the high-quality Red cards except of weenies. Remember that i's highly subjective, so don't hate it just because I am silly. [deck]Creatures: 4 Ash Zealot 4 Young Pyromancer 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4...

Yarpus

Check the thread development forums.

Yarpus

Nope. Mutavault just changes type. Doesn't enter the field as a creature, ever.

After seeing Jund like that, I understand 4 Burning Earth in my deck. Oh god.
Hi folks, long time no see.

Yarpus

I've managed to get lots of good trades. But never tried to actually lie about the value of a card. It was more like: "This card costs X on SCG. I'd buy it from you for 1/2 or 3/4 X." Usually convincing people that they'll never sell it on such a high price tag.

Yarpus

Deadbridge Chant is really strong CA and recursion engine. It doesn't actually require you to run mill. Maybe Deathrite Shaman would be nice to be able to garden the GY a bit (turn spells you don't want back into Shocks and bad creatures into lifegain).

Sullivan doesn't play Ash Zealot to both prevent the Mutavault issue AND maximize the possibilites coming from BTE. When your only other creature in hand is Ash Zealot - that's no fun. On the other hand if you have Mogg Flunkies - it might look like an enabler. I'd still go for at least Lightning Ma...

Yarpus

Nah, I have no possibility of testing that one yet. Currently I'm in place where playing MTG is not possible, and bastards took away Cockatrice from me - so it's hard to see how anything works. I was this kind of freak who was trying out various decks/cards all days playing games against myself on C...

Yarpus

You are underestimating this card a lot. It's fantastic as long as you don't face Azorius Charm. Let me say something like this: would you play a creature which costs 5 mana and requires sacrificing a land, but is 7/7 hasty beater? I would. Why? Simple answer. Because that's the biggest creature in ...
