So i've been sac'ing mutavaults to my hammer lately. I makes it a bigger creature, and doesn't throw off colored sources. It came about as a vault was getting doombladed, and I had 3 open for a lightning bolt and a cackeler, intead I sac'd it for a token. Since they re supposed to become creature, m...

Also, things went south relationship wise for me. I've been real busy and haven't been able to make time for her besides texting, and she couldn't accept that. The lady and I talked and we decided there was no way to salvage what we had left, so we should just end it before anyone said anything the...

Not too shabby lp. Currently 2-1 in the DE and 3-0 in 2-man queues. Punted a game to rapid fire misclicks (activated mutavault twice instead of casting spells....) That's why I only play pauper on mtgo, I am not exactly patient enough to do it right. I also have issues with setting stops on phases, ...

I am running a slightly different take on roughly the same deck. I don't have fnm results, mostly because the people in my area are pretty gung-ho on draft at the moment, not that I am complaining too much, I am better at draft than constructed anyway, so I'm pullin' packs and putt'n' up points. Hon...

I'm mostly facing red mirrors and UW control and FFS is horrible there. That's probably explains the difference in what you are using compared to what's been working for me. The only red mirror i've tested against with any frequency is big red midrange usually with (m)ember swallower, the most comm...

Drafted a 3 round 18 man today. In the 10 pod, newbs on either side. First pack was mostly crap, battlewise hoplite is the best card, followed by favored hoplite, and the rare was the dumb 10/10 indestuctable wall. Grabbed the battlewise, the next pack has divine verdict and various crappy dudes. I ...

Oh I missed it earlier, happy birthday lp. I wish I could find some standard play. I've just been drafting my backside off. That being said the number of packs I've pulled that way is pretty good. Last 2 drafts have been 3-0 and 3-1, and the environment is great, but I really want to play my devotio...

My deck really needs those. Also god, my deck is so techy as it's filled with shitty cards like Barrage of Expendables, Goblin Diplomats and Shocks. I love it. I just love it so much. I feel that my inner MTG hipster is just happy. And what's the worst - those cards just work. Don't be too proud of...

Yeah, peak eruptions are okay tech against aotg, but not against mirrors, or even mono red. In those matchups it's stonerain+lava spike, which isn' great (it might manascrew AIR with their low land count, and against BAI I can hit their sacred foundries which is viscious, it's still golden against b...

Actualy I disagree with this for strategic reasons. If you run multiple arts of the same card you're giving away free information. You give away the number of a card you're playing (I saw him play shock twice game 1, and game 2, but saw 4 different art so therefore I know he plays 4 and likely didn...

But whatever the reason, you can only just be a good example and protect yourself from getting taking advantage of by one of these types of players. I completely agree with your whole post but the quoted section is most important. As annoying a phone checking is, it's the best way to avoid getting ...

Which card should be included in the PyroRed Lists? There are only 2 acceptable answers. The first is the obvious dr. Teeth shock (clearly the best shock), and the second, slightly better, option is one of each. Any time you can run 4 different arts for the same card you should. It's just the same ...

Yea, not sure if I want Freak or Striker in devotion list. Tough ass decision I just realized you were main decking reckoners where as I had strikers, so more different than I thought. My list basically assumes matchupe vs. Control or slower midrange, with striker and burn there to keep the avenues...

I'm still conviced that kumano is a good commander though. I don't get it. What does he even do that you couldn't do better with someone else? Most notably Heartless Hidetsugu ? Hidetsugu does nothing to creatures, and kmy offers repeatable burn to creatures, and that burn is exile burn, and is eve...

All of these cards are known to be good. Shows how little EDH I play. Honestly no one in my area plays, so I effectively have 100 card highlander decks that have ultimately become tuned for regular play and would probably perform terribly in any actual game of the formt for which they were created....

(I started typing this a few hours ago and just came back to it). I still want to sit down and test Nykthos. This is the best test I can think of to find out. Argument: Mutavault is better than Nykthos Hypothesis: Nykthos' activated ability does more damage than mutavault's. Control Test: Instead o...

I bet I can make all of you cringe. I've been using UltraPros for like a decade. I STILL use them. Why? Because they're functional, and if they break they literally cost like nothing to replace. I will never understand nerds that need to spend like twenty bucks to sleeve a deck that can be sleeved ...
