So what happened to the Pauper DE's on MODO? Is Wizards pulling the plug on the format? I just signed up for MODO specifically to play Pauper, and now the best event series is gone!?!

Zooligan

For your follow up question, I said "for thoses needing a small 45 pistol". Not "for thoses needing a small pistol". I know what you said. That's exactly what I put in the quote box above - "For those needing a small .45 pistol" go back and look. I would say "read...

Zooligan

I did not say say all calibers are not created equal. Don't make shit up you think I said to give yourself credibility. First off, I didn't say that you said that. I said it. Here. look, I'll say it again - Not all calibers are created equal. If I had wanted to attribute it to you, I would have put...

Zooligan

Btw, isn't lupara "scattergun" in some Italian dialect (Sicilian, Neapolitan, something).

EDIT: Just looked it up. Means "for the wolf" in Sicilian. lupa = lupine = wolf. I shoulda figured that out. Not sure if they mean the 4-legged kind or the two-legged...

Zooligan

Lastly, 45 use with suppressor is :shrug: It's just an option and the myths on suppressors are BS. They work with all calibers as long is the tin can and gun are quality products. It's nice to have it as you gain sneak attack, but 45 versus other calibers with suppressor use is a poor comparison di...

Zooligan

Tomorrow is one month to release. They should be starting, right?

Zooligan

2 identical (or very nearly) PyroDragons lists 4-0'ed yesterday's Standard DE - https://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/M ... rn/6569284. Sorry if that's old news...

Zooligan

Did you (or would you) board any Chandra's out for any matchups?

Zooligan

Hey now, see there's some useful info, Pendulum. Mixed in with some fatalistic, glass-half-empty advice, but useful nonetheless.

At this point, it's now more of a game just to see if I can find this guy. I'm not going to put any money in it (newspaper ad).

Zooligan

What do you think he was in an LGS for? >.> His girl was looking at used game console stuff. Probably Christmas shopping. And I don't think he intentionally gave me a landline. I think he's just a dipshit. Probably just bought a new Tracfone or something and didn't have the number quite down yet. L...

Zooligan

Nah, this dude was a dope. If you knew the people around here (upstate SC) you'd understand.

Zooligan

A couple Friday's ago (12/13 to be exact), I was getting ready to pay into FNM at the LGS. So Im standing there and overhear this kinda goofy fella talking to the manager. "Those cards the people back there are playing with, how do you know if they're worth anything?" Manager says it's har...

Zooligan

What are the collective thoughts on Devour Flesh? Just wondering as it was used to great effect against me last night...

Zooligan

I guess I just needed to hear it again.

No wonder SG is a $.60 card. Seemed so good when it came out too...

Zooligan

The Kahr CW-45 For those needing a small .45 pistol I present to you this beauty. Not challenging you, just wondering... who "needs" a .45? The only reason I can think to need one is because the rounds are sub-sonic and you are using a suppressor. For the preppers out there, I would think...

Zooligan

Purp's argument for Whip > Chandra vs MonoBlack makes sense. Re: the R/x Temple - if lack of black is a problem, why not just another Swamp instead of the ETBT land? Lose a scry 1, but can use your mana that turn. Change gears: Is it worth considering Slaughter Games in the side over [card]Toil // T...

Zooligan

OK, so say we were to play Slaughter Games in the SB. Against other decks, how do you guys think these threats would rank? Am I leaving any out for any of the matchups? Mono Green – Garruk / Polukranos / Bow / Nylea Mono White – Spear / Heliod Mono Blue – Thassa / Master of Waves Mono Black – Gary, ...

Zooligan

Good article on mana bases, with Java code! - http://www.channelfireball.com/articles ... ur-spells/

Zooligan

Going forward, I will simply add an extra Mutavault as 61st card and see how it runs. Yeeeeaaahhhh, idk about the 61st card thing. I think the extra variance and just the fact you've got another card in there might negate any fractional card advantage you would get from the scry. It's your party, t...

Zooligan

For this type of deck I think yes (even though I don't particularly like TT), but an awful lot of modern R/B aggro decks run Thoughtsieze, so maybe it's worth considering. Hamfactorial is a R/B Modern player, whatcha think ham?

Zooligan

Dos Packis, at the moment...

Zooligan

Yeah you are right, dreadbore can be HDF. It also solves obzedat problem which is awsome

Just one tho, right, in SB. So 2 UP/2 DB main, and the HDF side...

Zooligan

The ability to recur Phoenix with her 1 and to filter thru cards with her 0 are just so good. Plus she sucks up damage that would be going against your life total. Idk, good card seems good.

Zooligan

Seems like every time I have an opportunity to cast TT it's either for the same kind of damage I could get from a Lightning Strike, or the opponent has high counter potential (open mana and a hand full of cards). Occasionally I may have the mana to cast and they are tapped out and they are flush wit...

Zooligan

How's the matchup against Mono Green Devo? What's the game plan for that deck?

http://www.channelfireball.com/articles ... rld-eater/

Zooligan

SWEET!!!

Zooligan

Right on. Are you guys running into a lot of Devour Flesh? Any point in playing that card in this deck?

Zooligan

So if you play a T2 rat, how do you prioritize what to pitch to it? I assume Phoenix would be numero uno since you can get it back, and cackler since it's immediately met and soon outclassed by another rat. How about a dragon since it's far away from casting? Exava? I'm thinking you would want to ho...

Zooligan

Second that on deck tactics. I've already mentioned the uber coolness of pitching the bird to make a rat and zapping opponent to get it back, but I'm sure there's other great interactions. Pedros, on your vids I saw you attacking and then creating rats instead of the other way round, sometimes pumpi...

Zooligan

Where is the point of no recovery in those match ups blade? T3? T4?

Zooligan

Shocks in the SB, maybe?

Zooligan

Upsurgence in small aggro might be a reason to add more mortars. AoG, maybe? I dunno.

Do they run enchantment removal? If not, doubling up on the whip could be ok. More time to land a dragon and/or grow some rats.

Zooligan

Selfie Legionnaire

noice!

Zooligan

Seems I always see 1-of's when I don't need them, and don't see them when I do need them.

Unless it's something I only want to see late game in match ups where the game goes longer than normal, I think they just add to variance and cost games as much as they win them.

Zooligan

Basically what I took away from the night was that the 2/2 dreadbore price split main wqs probaly better, though does hurt mono-u some. And then the second lesson was that if we can't remove a blood baron, it's gg. I took the slot that main-boarding a second dreadbore gave me, and went up to all 4 ...

Zooligan

I love the idea of Legionnaire, my only complaint is that you are using the ones with horrible art. +1 for good idea, -2000 for style.

You don't like the hot warrior chick in the Hustler-esque "check out my stuff" pose?

Zooligan

Because it gives me that "I paid more money" swag.

Exactly as I suspected

Zooligan

Why Scalding Tarn instead of Arid Mesa?

Zooligan

Pitching Phoenix to the Rat and burning to get it back, or burning to make it rise from the ashes of your GY to pitch it and make another rat is just SO GOOD...

Yaaaaa! DosRakis!
