Three UR Storm decks? That was a surprise.

Platypus

Ha ha lol. Don't check tge internets until you've watched the PVR'd episode.

Yeah sure...

In this case they posted the spoiler even before the show aired on the west coast, as I understood it. While they can't keep everything non-spoiled forever, this thing was posted way too fast.

Platypus

That Walking Dead last night. Wow

Yeah...thanks to the Official Walking Dead Facebook Page who spoiled the episode for us not watching it live...

Edits: I can't write today it seems...

I don't know who he is, but if I had played MTGO ever I'd probably played against him.

Platypus

I don't know what the problems were with this, but I had some weird formatting and broken tags in the UR Delver primer post as well. Fixed it on Oct 7th which was after the port, right? So, yeah could have been the port.

Platypus

You absolutely need to be running at least 8 fetches.

Well, sure. I intend to some more eventually. The question is what to run instead in the meantime at the occational FNM tournaments I go to.

I think I'll go with 2 Shivan Reef and 2 Gemstone Mine this Friday and see what happens.

Platypus

I have a somewhat similar land issue. I have the current manabase: 4 Island 1 Mountain 4 Steam Vents 3 Scalding Tarn 1 Polluted Delta 3 Shivan Reef 1 Sulfur Falls Reefs and Falls to make up for the lack of fetches. Maindeck is a bit undecided, but I don't have any Digs so I'm going for the more aggr...

Shattering Blow?

Platypus

I would play the deck, but I haven't been able to play since GP Stockholm, and probably won't go to any Standard events for a while either... :( So I can't give any good and proven lists. I'd probably just look at whatever placed high in any recent events and go with that. Redthirst's deck above loo...

There's nothing wrong with playing blue, as long as you play UR Delver or UR Storm...

Platypus

Agreed on both counts. Screw Boros, add blue and go Pristaxcontrombmodruu. What's the thing with that deckname btw? It's kinda prison. It's kinda stax. It's kinda control. It's kinda combo. It's all Zedruu. Also, it's really fun to say it. Pristaxcontrombmodruu. And type it. Right, now that you sai...

Platypus

Agreed on both counts. Screw Boros, add blue and go Pristaxcontrombmodruu.

What's the thing with that deckname btw?

Platypus

Yeah, I would drop the Arena Athlete myself for the fourth Goblin. I like the sideboard.

We had an awesome game of Power Grid this afternoon. 4 players on the basic Germany map. 3 players managed to build and power 18 cities on the last turn, so tiebreakers needed. First tiebreaker is most money left. Two players (one was me) had 1 Elektro left, the third player had 0 Elektro. Second ti...

Platypus

You have more experience with the deck than me then. I don't have the opportunity to go to the shop each week, I have no testing buddies, and I don't play online. So any info is good info for me. Sequencing during turn 1-4 is everything with this deck. I had some games at the GP where I afterwards k...

Platypus

This was a bit more interesting: http://www.starcitygames.com/article/29 ... Folks.html

A couple of Prophetic Flamespeakers in the sideboard might indeed be a good idea.

Platypus

Yes, when playing this deck you just have to accept that you don't always have two lands on turn two. It works because you are willing to take that risk.

Platypus

This got posted today: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=12168 It's not very informative, doesn't really give any new information. The feeling I got from reading it is basically: "I don't understand how these low curve decks can win anything." He's right about Green Devotion bei...

Platypus

Isn't that just a picture of them imprisoning the Eldrazi 6000 years ago? But a return to Zendikar is probably coming sooner or later, probably sooner.

Platypus

Intrigue is a must have. I don't care too much for Seaside myself. After Intrigue I'd go with Prosperity. After that, whatever looks like fun. Alchemy is a bit odd. We own Cornucopia, but haven't played much with those cards. I've played with Hinterlands, and it was ok. The rest (Dark Ages and Guild...

Platypus

So, my own experiences from GP Stockholm... This was my first GP ever, and probably only one for a long while since I don't want to spend that much money going to GPs abroad. I managed to do some test playing on the boat over to Stockholm, but that was mostly against Green Devotion (felt really hard...

Platypus

Some of my favorite games besides Dominion and 7 Wonders are: Age of Steam - Railroad building with pick-up-and-deliver mechanism. Very, very cutthroat and nasty. Puerto Rico - A good strategy game with a somewhat unique (when it was released) game play. Power Grid - Good economic game, but as was m...

Platypus

I'm interested in buying a few more multiplayer games. My girl's coworkers have a family dinner every Sunday that we go to. We drink and usually play Cards Against Humanity, but there's only so many times we can do that before it gets stale. One of them plays Magic, but the rest have no desire to l...

Platypus

Anyone play Ascension? It seems like a good game but I still don't really know what I'm doing lol. It's decent game. As far as deck building games like that go, I prefer Dominion or Marvel Legendary. I guess you're playing the app version? I've never tried that. Only ever played on a real board. I'...

Platypus

I can probably write down something as a start.

That RDW thread should maybe be put in the Strategy and Theory section, and just linked to from any RDW and similar deck thread in the future. So much good and general advice in there.

Platypus

I don't know, that thread started out about Khaospawn's mono red deck that was quite different from these Boss Sligh decks. They somehow got posted there as well, because cheap mono red aggro decks are in fact somewhat scrumpy. But then they started putting up serious results.

Platypus

Should this thread be moved to the competitive section?

Platypus

I updated the OP a bit and added some sample lists posted in the Thread. If you want me to add anything else (maybe you want to write a "how to play" guide?) feel free to tell me.

You could maybe add those two Top 4 decks from GP LA as well?

Platypus

So this is the version I'm sleeving up for now, and I hope I can get a few test games done tomorrow. [deck] 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Foundry Street Denizen 4 Akroan Crusader 3 Frenzied Goblin 2 Goblin Rabblemaster 4 Stoke the Flames 4 Hammerhand 4 Dragon Mantle 4 Titan's Strength...

Platypus

To be honest, I'm a bit worried about running only 17 lands. This is based on the GP LA finalist deck that ran 4 Rabblemasters on 17 lands. But those don't always need to be played on curve, Outburst and esp. Hall you want on curve, so 18 land with them might be better. I'm hoping to be able to play...

Platypus

So, I'm thinking of dropping a Rabblemaster from the finalist deck in order to add a Hall of Triumph, and a second in the SB instead of the second Scouring Sands (I have only one...). The idea with Halls would be to get a slight edge in the mirror match, and the boost from it is relevant in other ma...

Platypus

I know that feeling. What is you main deck btw (you probably posted it earlier)? I haven't the necessary experience with the deck myself, so I can't really help. I'm unsure about those Ride Down and Deflecting Palm myself, but I haven't really seen them in action either. Have you considered Reprisal...

Platypus

Fated Conflagration? Removes Siege Rhino as well, among other creatures. One instead of the third Banishing Light?

Platypus

The basic strat is go wide, and usually leave up 1 mana during attacks so they know you always have titan's strength.

So do you sandbag creatures at all, or just go all in?

Platypus

Since I'm most likely to run one of these decks at GP Stockholm next weekend, please tell me every good advice about running them you can spare. I've run several aggro decks before, but never any of the Boss Sligh low curve decks.

But how hard can it be? Tap Mountain, extend hand, right?

Platypus

Dragon Mantle is great with floods as well.
