Dies to Removal

Elricity

Though I do not know the way

I imagine that you are rocking back and forth in a chair holding yourself in the fetal position considering whether to space out the LSD or just take it all at once to block the Beta pain.

How close am I?

Elricity

MDU, explain to me this promotion thing. For you that is, I'm not terribly worried about promoting myself. So subscribers and views I get. How do the likes do anything? Anything else that's supposed to help?

I've played the 2-6 curve aggro deck in the past. It needs 25 lands, with 3-4 being spell lands. Particularly to support the mana dumps. Mutavault is probably better but you do have Nykthos as an option.

I'm undoing Youtube's fix on my videos. Removing the letter box removed the HD option. I think I'm going back to just making the final video in HD again and suck up the huge file size. It's kind of annoying that the original file is crystal clear but the final copy is the less clear version that you...

Elricity

No there are definitely tempo decks. He was only saying that your definition of tempo wasn't exactly correct. You defined what a tempo deck wants to do, but not what the definition of tempo is. Ah, I actually thought his question was the former which is why I went that route. By our powers combined...

Elricity

When Youtube asks if it can crop the video for you, consider declining because it lost the HD in my videos (not that the HD is that great). I'll go back to using the HD option rather than the regular 4k kilobite option. It was nice only having to load 400 MB files for a 30 minute game though.

Tempo is typically defined as landing some kind of early threat, whatever that is, and then using lots of cheap interaction to allow that threat to win the game. In this deck, that's mutavault, phoenix, or YP which uses your removal to finish 1 for 1'ing cards while they slowly beat you to death. D...

Elricity

I believe your chance to hit a land in 3 cards is only about 70%. It really depends heavily on the rest of your hand whether it is keepable.

Elricity

First deck probably needs 25 land to support the curve, generator servant aside and I'm not sure firedrinker fits that kind of build unless you're trying to live the curve out dream. Otherwise it's not bad.

13 tickets isn't much, but I was planning on waiting until fall to play standard... not sure what to do. In that case, wait and play some drafts. Sigh, I was going to play tomorrow but after laying in bed for an hour trying to get bed after feeling dead tired...here I still am. Maybe I'll stroll in...

Elricity

Turn 3 5/5's, turn 4 6/6 flyers, and pro-red token generators make it impossible not to run chains in a deck like this. The small critters have a hard time overcoming this unless you're playing an all in strategy like BossSligh and this isn't burn. I don't understand that opinion. I remember Anthon...

Elricity

All that gloating about Flamespeaker aside, curious if it mattered either way. With charms, I charm him twice down to 10 that turn instead of the 12. Thoughtsieze takes him to 8 instead of 10 and then on my turn i draw a vault, lose a vault in the swing, bring him to 6 instead of 4. He slams Gary an...

In regards with watching finished events (this is something I really enjoy doing since I don't live in the same timezone as you guys). The ORC said you can (which was true in the early stages of the beta) but you can't now (confirmed by pedros) hopefully they'll bring this back in the upcoming week...

Elricity

Here's my videos from this morning. Resolution is still a bit eh. Youtube is supposedly editing it to get rid of the black box outline. Not sure why it did that this time. Also, more vulgarity! I was a bit tired this morning. Match 1 vs Bg devotion . Not that it mattered because I didn't draw Flames...

Friends don't let friends play reckoner on 18 sources.

Elricity

Or...have we?!

Elricity

Yeah I started to realize after I metaphorically sobered up that I was falling into the same trap of heavy durdle creature but I was starting to give up as I couldn't wrap my head around how it works after shoving myself into standard so much. Doesn't help that I was clearly getting some terrible ad...

Elricity

There are smilies, I'm clearly only barking

You monster.

Elricity

Needs more fireball to go with your Nykthos!

Elricity

In Dolt's defense trading on the Beta is an unnecessary clusterfuck compared to v3, but then what isn't ?

I'm curious, what is trading like in v3? Not that it matters in a week.

Elricity

Went through memory lane reading the first page. Ahhh, the good times.

Elricity

If one of the DTR members is online, you can probably do a mock trade with them to get the feel for how trades work. You can also figure out how deckbuilding works just by making a shitty deck from all the stock cards you got at the start and opening a game in solitaire.

Elricity

Some bots specialize in selling commons and uncommons. You can fill out 75% of the burn deck from a single bot. After that, you're just down to hunting down the money rares and uncommons.

Elricity

Unless they're big money rares like Chandra, you pretty much have to do it the same way you do when making trades at a card shop if the store owner doesn't have them. Grab your wallet (tickets), go person to person, and ask if they have what you're looking for. MTGO doesn't sell singles from their s...

Elricity

What's the primary problem you're having? Getting the cards or putting them in the deck? The primary problem is that I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know how to turn tickets into decks. I don't know how to cut and paste decks and then find the cards or whatever. Importing a .txt seemed like ...

What's the primary problem you're having? Getting the cards or putting them in the deck?

Elricity

I did it pen and paper. Blaklanner has the way to do it through MTGO.

Elricity

Trial and error on my part. I didn't know about the wishlist so I wrote it down and just kept hitting up bots until I had a deck.

I ran a couple practice games to get the stops right and then tweaked them later as needed.

Elricity

So i understand how skullcrack is supposed to interact with pro red i.e. MoW, though my friend who's a lvl1 judge has said that at some large tournament a lvl5 judge ruled against it working so my question is does the judges decision affect any ruling outside that tournament or can i go about crack...

Elricity

Doh, I just realized it said toughness.

Yeah, makes bringing in 2 against certain matchups a better idea since it hits double the cards reprisal does.

Elricity

I always sideboard out phoenixes against weenie decks but I have other creatures I'm bringing in that are strictly superior in those matchups. Doing that with dancers is legitimate. Let's you keep in boros charm vs random land/enchantment destruction which is nice. By the by, I did finally get a gam...

Elricity

I assume he was asked to help sell copies of perilous vault or something. The card will maybe see play but I don't think as more than a 1 of due to the mana cost. Certainly not in burn.

Elricity

Lost it right at the end =[

Elricity

I DID IT! I figured out how you can do pile view by name in the beta. You have change to card view, sort by name, then switch back to pile view (since sort by name is grayed out in pile view for reasons beyond me). Yay for sideboarding!

Elricity

The mana base is very much a wish list but here's what I have as a starting point before I go netdecking. [deck] Commander 1 Rafiq of the Many Artifact (14) 1 Behemoth Sledge 1 Chromatic Lantern 1 Coalition Relic 1 Fellwar Stone 1 Lightning Greaves 1 Loxodon Warhammer 1 Mimic Vat 1 Phyrexian Process...

Elricity

Another 0-1 opening to start me off, against Bg devotion this time. Didn't hit a white source game 1 and 2 demons and 1 abrupt decay later, and I could never cast the Chandra in my hand. Had a chance maybe if I hadn't swung a phoenix into the decay on my chain.

Elricity

Well, it does if the game is going to last longer than turn 6, yeah. I've just decided he's myopic and leaving it at that.

Elricity

I know it will fall on deaf ears, but equating gay with bad shouldn't be acceptable and I'd say I'm disappointed; but it's happened so many times before that I'm no longer at all surprised by the same people who keep doing it. It honestly shouldn't and I do think a little "kids these days on m...

I got married yesterday, at am local time, in court. My wife got really pissed at me, because I was playing a standard daily, instead of planning the ceremony. Real story yo... Worse: I lost 1-3, she wouldn't let me focus and while I left to get some food, she "played" for me, conceding 2...
