Dies to Removal

DerWille

Can I tap my Maverick, remove 3 groan counters to boo target comedian off stage?

DerWille

3 color block that's for the horde?

DerWille

@MDU - I watched your modern videos, they were interesting. I like how well your deck is doing, but I have a question. In several of the videos you've said, "I'm playing my fetch land first because I don't want it to be countered." What are you talking about? Aren't fetch lands' fetch an a...

DerWille

@MDU - Sure that video isn't about the current standard? That's how I feel if I see a turn 2 pack rat without burn in hand.

DerWille

I went against Lily twice. She's annoying, but the best use for her I saw was tutoring up bombs. The discard was annoying, sort of.

DerWille

The top 4 at my prerelease were RB, RW, BW, and GB, so that might be good read.

DerWille

Seems like we played similar decks Zman. Were turn 2 Borderland Marauders tearing up games for you? I had a few games where I went Borderland Marauder -> Infernofist for either a 5/2, swing, then kill their dude on their end step. Even without the enchantment, the Marauder seemed to really apply pre...

Went to prerelease, got first at 5-0-1, picking red as my color. I started the tournament playing Jund, but later realized that playing green just because it had mana fixing and hard to cast bombs, wasn't worth it. Played the R/b deck with a ton of 3 and 4 drops. Did much, much better. Goblin Ramble...

I stayed for the penis jokes... :shrug: Mana Base Stuff: Land (23) 4 Sacred Foundry 4 Temple of Triumph 1 Temple of Malice 1 Temple of Silence 2 Battlefield Forge 3 Mutavault 8 Mountain Sideboard 1 Mutavault That's 11 [mana]W[/mana], 19 [mana]R[/mana], and 12 mountains.

Zem's gonna git you. I woke up in the middle of the night to post, eerie. There's day light out ...

DerWille

No worries. I never said that it was good in those match ups (I agree, it's mediocre vs black and awful vs UWx). I was focusing on the aggro match up. I think the difference is in meta between my area and MTGO. When I go to a tournament in this area (5 stores, varying competitiveness, more if it's e...

DerWille

Searing blood has never changed how the aggro match plays out. Except all the times it did. The card puts you ahead in the race while answering their threat X/2 threats which is about everything in their deck. It lets you beat their nut draws, turn losing games into wins, and even punishes them har...

DerWille

I'm more skeptical about Stoke the Flames than Hushwing Griff. I'm worried that 6 4 mana cards might be taxing the mana too much. It seems great with Young Pyromancer and his tokens, but wouldn't I rather be attacking with my birds than tapping them for mana? I'm also worried that -2 Searing Blood w...

DerWille

I always took your humor to be more like a needle sliding between your ribs to jab at your heart. The AVGN is sledgehammer that smashes your heart, lungs, and ribs all at once. Those small jabs are painful enough to remind you of the absurdity of trying to out alpha another nerd whose "sport&qu...

DerWille

@ChrisMachado - We dun like your "kind" 'round 'ere. You best be movin' long before some trouble finds it your way. Messing with you man. I've found that Assemble the Legion is best against Bx Devotion and it falls into the category of "must answer or die". Outside of enchantment...

DerWille

That Griff is one of the cards that I'm most excited for in M15. It had me with torpor orb on a pogo stick. Instant speed made me dirty myself. I'm picking up a play set ASAP.

DerWille

Not a bad video, but a few things. - Try to keep talking. Silence is probably one of the worst things you can have in a video. Try to find something to talk about, anything really. You can go over deck archetypes, go into more detail about why you like THS block draft, talk about yourself, make fun ...

DerWille

@MDU - It's not really possible to go infinite here like you can on MTGO. Most events in my area are free with some sort of pay out. At one store, if you don't buy anything but go on a winning spree, he'll accuse you of stealing cards and ban you (happened to a friend). The tournaments don't work th...

DerWille

Satyr Hedonist has been in Standard for awhile now but seen no play. This is a bit different since it grants haste, but a lot of 5s we'd be ramping into have haste anyway. Let's not get too excited. The mana can be used for noncreature spells too just like Satyr Hedonist, except you don't need a gr...

DerWille

@dauntless268 - I'd swing Young Pyromancer at him, hold the charm. That'll drop him to 8 life. Another swing and charm + lightning strike/skullcrack is lethal. In this situation, I think Jace is forced to +1 each turn or he will die to your board + burn very quickly so he can be ignored until he's i...

DerWille

As some of you may know I'm on my mini-two-week hiatus so I'm just tossing out ideas, I like too hear your thoughts on: Spark Trooper : Vs Monster, BWx and Jund Harness by Force : Vs Monster, BWx and Jund Font of Ire : Vs Monster, BWx and Jund [card]Elspeth, Sun's Champion[/card]: Vs Monster, BWx a...

DerWille

I'd probably go for it. x2 threads is about $50 and the you're getting $52ish for it. Snapcasters are used in a lot more decks than threads.

DerWille

I guess it's reasonable to say that Burn matches up well against Bx's plan, but the raw power of Bx decks makes it tough to beat them if we don't have the answer immediately, and their discard makes having that especially tough. All too often it feels like I'm just praying to my deck. Also, I don't...

DerWille

After playing at the Open, my biggest concerns are the following: How does Burn consistently beat Bx decks? How does Burn consistently beat Monsters? If you have answers to these questions, I would prefer it if they were mildly detailed, as I've asked them before and the answers are usually rather ...

DerWille

I don't get why everyone fawns over legacy. It's the cheesiest format of them all. Ignoring the fact that the pros enjoy Legacy because the cards are *their* cards and *they* built the decks. They're forty years old, loving every minute of what got them hooked. The Legacy envy that budgo's and scrum...

DerWille

Has anyone ever felt like the Magic games they play are like solving a puzzle? Sort of like an awkward puzzle that's always changing and allows for multiple right answers. When I was playing last Friday, I remember sitting down across from my opponent, taking a look at my hand, and then, after seein...

DerWille

Even if it means a significant tempo hit? I'd consider the trade if it were turn 4 or 5 and I had a back up land in hand. That's no different than attacking with a mutavault when your opponent is showing removal mana. This was swinging in on turn 3 and they would throw their mutavault at him going d...

DerWille

I got a chance to play burn again because I went to a different LGS for FNM. Creatures (8) 4 Young Pyromancer 4 Chandra's Phoenix Spells (29) 2 Chained to the Rocks 4 Shock 4 Boros Charm 4 Lightning Strike 4 Magma Jet 2 Searing Blood 4 Skullcrack 1 Banishing Light 4 Warleader's Helix Land (23) 4 Sac...

DerWille

Oh, back to the Japan thing, I appreciate all the advice you guys gave me. I just found out I'll be staying in Tachikawa (somewhere near Tokyo?). Anyone familiar with that area? I'll have three two weekends to be able to explore the city. What are some things I should go see? If you decided to go a...

DerWille

But now you have a 16,384 block to make.

DerWille

Hero worship is one thing but that's... that's... like... one step away from a Brian Kibler body pillow. You know the ones that Japanese otaku have with anime girls that have the "fuck me" look?

DerWille

Is 2/2/2 JOU/BNG/THS for the pool? Also, could you post up your deck list whenever you get the chance?

DerWille

@DocLawless - That would be a cool promo card. It's incredibly flavorful. Better than a dude being stomped on. I think the fact it depicts 2 white characters in white would make it a no go. They're pretty consistent with the color schemes.

DerWille

Shit. I'm going to Japan, and all I know about their culture comes from anime. What do I need to know? If you know enough Japanese to ask for directions, you have to pretend like you're super embarrassed, like middle schooler asking his crush to the dance. Otherwise, you'll freak them out and they'...

DerWille

@MDU - I've had more success with Assemble. Make them have the charm. That charm has the potential to hit YP$ and friends, Chained to the Rocks, Blinding Light, and Assemble the Legion. It can be pretty easy to force the charm and then play another card that requires it for an answer.

DerWille

I think the guy with 7 shocklands got the better deal. Maybe not in the short term, but in a year or two, most definitely.

DerWille

Trading pile assessment pls: Guy one: Foil Deathrite Shaman Guy Two: 2x Snapcaster Mage 1x Deathrite Shaman I'd do that trade in a heartbeat. But then again, I don't care about foils and I need two Snappies... Wanted to second this. Also, whoever is getting into DotA, if your team has picked 4 agil...

DerWille

They killed off Elspeth? The hell? She was like my favorite planeswalker.

DerWille

Seems like a cool enough plane. I'm curious what the twists are.

I hit a car while riding my bike. While riding on the sidewalk, there's a drive way with a blind side because of a tree. I didn't see the car. The car didn't see me. So they pull out into the sidewalk and I go crashing into them. Put a small dent in the car. I'm fine. I didn't hit my head but the sh...
