Dies to Removal

Helios

I feel like he'd have been a far more playable 2/1, but as-is...we'll see.

Helios

Kaze's just pretending. He has 2 boners too.

Helios

Z do you want line-for-line, hardcore grammar correction like last time or just general thoughts?

Helios

Pick it up. Because you'll always wonder what would've happened otherwise.

Why bother reading through multiple posts of dross and butthurt when you can just hide a user's posts?

best feature ever.

Helios

We've always had 2 flex slots in the SB, and I choose to use those to get free wins, because G2 against mono B is boring anyway. I don't need Assemble. What I do need is time to go get a snack, something to drink, use the restroom, etc. So I like to get free wins game 2, relax, etc. so that I can pl...

Helios

You must be bored as hell to talk so much around here.
This is the only thread with legitimate conversation anymore.

Implying that anything out of Kait's mouth is legitimate conversation.

Helios

I miss you too much <3

Helios

Mono Black should already be a free win with PyroDragons...

Well, um, I guess I'm clearly bad at Magic because it isn't. Assemble's card text v. mono B: "Does your opponent have Thoughtseize? No? You win the game."

Helios

Assemble = Free Wins v. Mono Black. I really can't recommend it enough.

Helios

As an outside observer, I get really tired of seeing it brought up, when even in MTGO Daily's it has put up basically zilch results since Pre-Av Restored Standard. I guess that's my fault for choosing to observe, but there's not fuck all else to do around here. Well how many strong players are play...

Helios

Please tell me you're trolling.

Helios

Wrexial was a shining beacon of Cool UB Cards, and it's been all downhill from there.

Helios

Phenax was spoiled. 3UB, god text, 4/7, Creatures you control have "T: opponent mills X cards, where x is this creature's toughness." Might say "target player" instead of opp.

Whelming Wave. 2UU. Sorcery. Return all creatures except Krakens, Leviathans, Serpants, and Octopuses.

Helios

I wish every EDH game contained Khaos.
I fixed that for you.

Helios

Woot! What's your standing, 5-1-1?

Helios

What Yarpus said.

Helios

Re: UB- My only concern is that Trading Post might be a little too slow, but that'd be something to test. Justify Platemail over Aetherling? Speed + recurrability I assume? Encroaching Wastes isn't going to help you against Nykthos, for 2 reasons - a) If it's turn 5, I have Nykthos, and Nykthos is m...

Helios

I guess it is a meta call, those are good reasons - my current meta is Mono B, GR Monsters, Esper. Red devo. And the Esper players here don't qualify as top 200, methinks, plenty of Skulls have been Cracked. and many frowns have been had when Grey Merchant unexpectedly doesn't gain life.

Helios

People trying to figure out what deck they're going to play post-rotation when they still have 106 cards to spoil make me chuckle. My playtest buddy was doing it all day today and I was like "DUDE. CHILL." JS: have you tried the Nykthos devotion lists ala Eric Smith? Hilariously fun. Photo...

Helios

I think it's hysterical that we have a 2-power, splashable 1-drop with a "drawback" at uncommon and a 2-power, monored one drop with a real drawback and a supposed second ability at rare.

We'll take what we can get.

Helios

Re: Manticore not having hexproof - Hey look it has bestow so you have to kill it twice!

Yeah, WW getting lots of love... RDW getting... ?

...one of the other 106 cards maybe? Let's at least see the whole set before we cry foul.

Helios

What matchups are you bringing Boros Charm in for that are unfavorable?

Helios

Glad you said something, I was like "oh it has one toughness worst card ever lol". Couldn't have figured it out without ya

Helios

Why would the thread get archived? This will still be a deck.

Helios

Skullcrack is really good right now, imo.

Helios

I despise people who try to define what fun is and ban cards/archetypes because they're not fun. Side note: My new hobby is finding Cockatrice "No MLD" games and playing the Stasis version of my Zedruu deck. Basically I know that means the host is a G or UG ramp-derp player and I want to ...

Helios

My buddy wanted to test his R/B version and eventually we played SB games so I was playing w/out Cackler. I actually really liked the additional removal over the one-drops, like the list that came in 2nd yesterday. Not sure how I feel about Temple of Abandon though...like I understand that the scry ...

Helios

Wasn’t able to make it to Saturday magic, but here’s the scoop from last night. Played the stock list. R1: Jim w/Esper control This was a disappointing match because we didn’t actually get to play Magic. G1 we both kept 2-land hands, mine being Nykthos - Temple (are these hands keepable w/ a bunch o...

Helios

Among other things, 2 guildgate is unnecessary, especially considering 4-of Boros Charm MD in a non-burn strategy seems awful - how are you planning on removing the creatures that get in the way of your 7 1-drops? Chained is literally your only out there, and more than half the time that white mana ...

Helios

Went 2-2 at FNM, only lost to the continual presence of 2 or 5 land hands....felt like I always had Nykthos + Mountain openers D: Still though, I had an absolute blast and the deck was tons of fun to play. More detail tomorrow, I'll be playing Saturday Noon Magic. Couldn't resist going back for more...

Helios

I think Pack Rat moving out of the main is a mistake, and mono B players will know better.

Helios

Hasn't aggro always had to deal with sweepers? And this doesn't even get all our stuff, just X/2 or less.
"This doesn't fuck up our whole deck, only the cards shaped like rectangles."

This is inaccurate, but fucking hilarious.

Helios

Excellent, thanks LP. I goldfished a bunch last night to get a feel for the hands...and holy shit. Golden gun is right.

Helios

Yea I was less than pleased to see yet another pushed white creature. Like...seriously? 3/4 with Vigilance for 3? With card text? Ugh.

Fated Infatuation oooooh.

It's us baby

Helios

Excellent, thanks. I keep seeing Mountain - Nykthos - RR card hands and getting sad. Do you ever chain Nykthos together just to vomit your hand, even if it sets you way back?

Helios

Sleeving this up for fnm tomorrow. So excite.

Helios

Your sig, is in fact, delightful.

Helios

Woooooooooooooo baby! Congrats!

Helios

Guy who is writing the next X-men flick is writing the screenplay.

Helios

So much value.

MtG movie officially announced.
