Met girl in person at LGS. Confirmed woman, was even wearing skinny jeans, so confirmed vagina attached. Very short though. Like, 5'0" short. Eh. Penis tucking isn't that hard. Put your balls back up where they came from, pull your dick along your taint into your crack and cover with medical t...

@Yarpus: merging your two descriptors: "balls-to-the-wall" and the established "all-in-red," when this decklist arrives I propose it is named "Balls-in Red." If I am playing a "balls-to-the-wall" version of red devotion, does that make my deck "balls dev...

Just like pyknite winter of 1995, every where there pyknites, even necro bowed in deference to the power of the pyk.

I know he's not good, but I really want to make a spector "cast your spells" deck work. I have just accepted that standard is not the place to do so. Sunday the guy next to me got psychic intrusion as his pass out because I picked a triton tactics over it (no one respects tri-tac as the br...

DarthStabber

I'll have you know that I rarely ever see a D-hungry mouth or ass around me. Because they're usually full. So you've disproven my reasoning, but proved my larger point: you wouldn't know a d-hungry orifice because you've only ever seen full ones. Also I need to get my hair did, because it's gotten ...

I played tibalt in a casual deck full of madness and flashback, I called it "here tibalt, you play for me", it was so much fun (and it was so bad).

DarthStabber

That girl has a D-hungry mouth.

Ass too.

I can tell.

Is there a mouth or ass that's not d-hungry around you? You aren't the best judge because of that. And what are alex and this chick going to do, get their hair did?

DarthStabber

@ Darthstabber I think it's probably better to MB for aggro / midrange. The deck accells at that. If you want to be pre-boarded for Control, Pyro Red w/ reckoners SB is probably the better call. The list I posted with the extra falters is probably a good option too, although I won't get to test it ...

DarthStabber

Depends on your opinion of mutavault. I've seen versions with none, I've seen no vaults, i've seen 4 vaults. My personal thought is 2 is correct with reckoner in the sideboard, 1 if he's maindeck. With out the vaults my total investment haas been $25, but I already had the reckoners, mortars, and ze...

DarthStabber

I just picked up a fun rules snippet from an article...the damage generated by Burning Earth can be redirected to planeswalkers. So not only can you tie down UXx decks manawise, you can kill their Jace with their own spells. Too funny... This is new information that makes me think better of burning...

DarthStabber

Glad it's going well Narcasus. Which midrange specifically has been giving you trouble? Can you provide any testing notes? Darth, what's going wrong vs aggro? All of these games are preboard (single games), and I am reaping what I have sewed for preboarding for control. With my reckoners in the boa...

DarthStabber

So I know this is redmage's board, but just because you love steak doesn't mean you can't enjoy fish from time to time. This deck began back in rav/csp/tsp/10th standard when I was called out on being a 1 trick pony redmage (so much good burn in that time), and as a former bluemage I was mildly insu...

DarthStabber

For the record, I believe there's a special place in hell for UW players. I hope you mean constructed UW players, I keep ending up in UW in draft because that's what keeps being open (because no respects it, and I keep winning with it). That and I was a dedicated MUC player until they failed to rep...

DarthStabber

I'm playing a mono green player in the practice room and he proceeds to tell me how skillful my deck is to play in a sarcastic tone.

I love trolls.

Yeah big regenerating beaters are fun

DarthStabber

I don't have tournament results yet (as I have stated before I seem to only be able to find drafts, which is okay because I have taken first or second in all of them so far), but testing has me (pre-board) 70-30 vs. control variants, 60-40 vs. midrange, and god aweful against aggro. This data is all...

DarthStabber

A 0% chance of drawing a 2-vault hand is significantly less than a 10-15% one (citing Johnny's tests). Are you comfortable with 1/10 hands being sub-par? I'm not. Means as how I don' t need to hit RRR on turn three preboard johnny's tests likely don't apply to me. And also, for the umpteenth time, ...

DarthStabber

I truly believe, with the most conviction that I can muster, more than 1 Mutavault in this deck is going to FUCK anybody. I truely believe with all the conviction that I can muster that with reckoners and an extra mountain in the sideboard that 2 vaults will not fuck you over. Am I preboarding for ...

DarthStabber

Reckoner, Phoenix, and Hammer all serve completely different purposes. You're also neglecting that most of the removal for Reckoner will hit your opponent back/kill a creature/stonewall attacks. 1) doomblade is back, and hero's downfall is a thing. 2) dsphere and supreme verdict haven't left us. 3)...

DarthStabber

He's so good right now that you want 3-4 in your deck no matter what. In Pyro Red, he's SB material. In Mogis, he auto-include maindeck because he synergizes so well with then deck's namesake card. Devotion kills, brah. I am not arguing he isn't good, i'm not a complete moron. 3-4 definitely belong...

DarthStabber

Rubblebelt maaka is a solid dude, were he not sharing standard with a keyword that specifically cares about spells targetting your stuff he'd be head and shoulders above titan's strength. The problem with using pump as "burn" in aggressive red variants is that an empty board blanks the car...

DarthStabber

@khaospawn: Your argument is dead on except for one niggling little issue: reckoner is not necessarily an auto include. If you are main decking him then you are quite right about needing to hit him on curve. If you aren't (which is a perfectly valid option if you want more speed) you can easily get ...

DarthStabber

It's not way greedy, actually. Per hypergeometric distribution, 21 lands on three four drops is correct. -1 land is far from what I'd call "way greedy" unless you just have a different definition of greedy (which would be odd considering how conservative a deckbuilder I am in general). I ...

DarthStabber

Has anyone else desperately missed painlands since their disappearance in m10? I finally finished my full set in 10th edition thinking that they'd always be there (like they always had), and then "new world order" comes along and suddenly newb's aversion to playing good cards dicks us out ...

DarthStabber

Thanks, i'm playing around with it at the moment since theros came out. I am still not happy with it, and I just realized how unsatisfied I am with some of the swaps. The current maybe board/need to acquire board: searing blaze (all 4 of mine are in my legacy rdw deck, so I need to grab another), vi...

DarthStabber

Denizen over Satyr right now because I don't have them online, plus I imagine the overall damage from Denizen will be roughly the same against other decks while also being a hedge to the prominence of red strategies on MODO over the past week. 20 lands with three four drops is a little greedy but I...

DarthStabber

If you aren't main decking reckoner then 21 is plenty sufficient. I may be the only one not maindecking him, but believe it's the right call. He's just so slow, and you get so much speed with pheonix in it's place. As good as fanatic is, you don't need to squeeze every little bit out of him.

DarthStabber

@aodh, you are way too hung up on trying to get "maximum value" out of fanatic. Even getting 3 out of him is a pretty good deal when considering that he's still a 4 power body. I've laid him down on an empty board and still been happy with him. Control is our best matchup, and while reckon...

DarthStabber

You're right, i'm just saying it can occasionally cause some psychological "feelbads" where you wanted a mountain. It's not an actual issue, just a psych one. I bring it up not to dissuade people from doing it, but to point out that it might feel wrong. And still be right.

DarthStabber

All 4 drafts I've done have had me in white, and one draft I actually managed do monowhite. I think people don't respect it, I see divine verdict wheel all the time, and yesterday I got gods willing as my passout 2nd pack. I think part of it is that keep getting newbs on my right. Even in sealed I s...

DarthStabber

Probability of hitting three mountains does not change. While this is very true it will cause moments where you feel it does. You are going to have a moment or two where you will draw vault as your third land and feel like you were screwed. This is not a reason not to put them in, it's just psychol...

DarthStabber

There were blitz decks before burning tree emissary, and they'll exist when (s)he's rotated out. Is there any agreement on BTE's gender, because I can't tell if it's a she or just a little effeminate looking. The burning-tree clan's shaman was unambiguously manly (and damn was a badass)

DarthStabber

Chandra, pyromaster is a great card but it's immediate impact is roughly the same as goblin shortcutter, and in devo red any 4 drop should do a metric ton on impact. Turn 4 is the aiming point for victory, and chandra does not contribute toward tht end. Zeman's pyrored variant uses her great effect,...

Flat would have been ok, but the hips don't lie, so yeah. Yeah they do. I have "child bearing" hips (and an ass that won't quit) and i'm a dude. My ass and hips are big to the point where I have to where I have to wear women's jeans because my other options are rip the ass out of properly...

You have my sword!

DarthStabber

I dont understand the comparison to maaka and fanatic of mogis at all to be honest I think people conflate the two because the both technically cost 4. Playing maaka happens, I did it several times in testing, and it being able to be a hill giant is not irrelevant, but for the most part it's an off...

I probably wouldn't run smelt, I am trying to try racing the whip. Here's the thing: crack stops lifegain once, and does nothing against the fact that it give all their creatures unearth (3)(b). I did play a lot of flames of the bloodhand back in the day, but there was more lifegain in that time (ga...

DarthStabber

I'm still way unconvinced about skullcrack. Whip of erebos is much better answered by smelt, skullcrack stops one turn of life gain, smelt stops it "cold". I've been working on a pet splash black version, and rakdos charm is 2 sideboard cards and a possible big burn to the face, it's actua...

DarthStabber

I am honestly of the optinion that vault should be counted as half a land half a spell. Thus my deck that wants 22 lands would be best off with 21 mountains and 2 mutavaults.

DarthStabber

Codex shredder was cute, but the new pandora's box analogue is fantastic. Will it win you games, probably not, but it will do wild and crazy things which is argubly better depending on your edh group.
