Dies to Removal

NotARobot

Eh it was just an example. I feel like it's a good replacement for reprisal, exile really matters against many decks and its only one mana more

NotARobot

Pillar has been great for me. Definitely won me a game at scg baltimore - sided it in for a junk matchup, guy was running multiple exile angels, palisade giant, coursers, bbov, ect. Game one I just burned him out pretty easily, but he brought in the giant for game two. It was ridiculous, I would cha...

Caryatids and tramplers are what make Chandra and flamespeaker bad vs g based decks. I mean she is fine to run if you just want to draw extra cards a turn, but I'd rather keep in higher impact cards.

Zem's m15 set article finally got posted! Good stuff as usual

NotARobot

I forgot pillar / reprisal but you get the idea

NotARobot

Why does them leaving in connections change your sideboard strategy at all though? Typical monoblack players will bring in extra discard for sure, pharikas cure, possibly whips vs burn. What do we bring in? Its different for everyone, but I bring in card draw with the flamespeakers and chandra, answ...

NotARobot

The manabase was solid, as it has been the whole time. The only problem I really recall having (besides severe flood / screw in my 2 lost rounds) was not being able to find a mountain for chains, despite having all the red and white mana I needed. It felt good, I dont see a real need to change it.

NotARobot

Hey what do you know, #13! Same prize for 9-33 though... woo!

NotARobot

I'm waiting for results but I think I missed top 16 by 3 or 4 places

NotARobot

SCG Baltimore open. I only found out about it last night and figured I had to give it a shot

NotARobot

Wow I can't type on my phone

NotARobot

Well the round 10 guy refused to split so I'm 8-2 for the day. Lis round 2 to esper, mulled to 5 in 2 out of three games and got stuck on lands, then in round 8 vs gr bloodrush monsters I flooded out, drawing 6 to 8 lands in both games. Definitely going back to 4 helix-I was hoping for sweet yp play...

NotARobot

Well I'm 7-2 at scg bmore right now, gonna draw into top 32I guess, and flamespeaker definitely handed me wins in at least 3 of my rounds, vs boss sligh, mono blue, and white weenies. It immediately shifts the momentum of the match in your direction. That said it's really a meta call... there's been...

NotARobot

So I'm at the halfway point in scg bmore and can conclusively say that I'm going back to 4 helix instead of 3/2 stoke the second this is over.

NotARobot

Haha yeah I got obliterated r2 by esper because I had to mull in 2 out of three games and couldn't draw more than three lands, but easily won when I had land.

Round three was fun though, mono blue guy kinda lost it when I landed 2 flame speakers and then hushwing

NotARobot

Trying my list out at scg Baltimore today, ended up going a 2/3 spilt on stoke / helix in the main with a hushwing gryff over wear tear in the sb. Took down the burn mirror in round one already, but I was sweating the whole time wishing I had the fourth helix.

NotARobot

What were you mainly hitting revoker with when you cast it?

NotARobot

So this is kinda what I'm tossing around right now [deck] Creatures 8 4 Young Pyromancer 4 Chandra's Phoenix Instants 25 4 Shock 4 Skullcrack 4 Magma Jet 4 Boros Charm 4 Lightning Strike 4 Warleader's Helix 1 Stoke the Flames Enchantments 4 4 Chained to the Rocks Lands 23 8 Mountain 4 Sacred Foundry...

NotARobot

I dont think he spends very much time throwing these things together

It does seem neat to run out in a meta dominated by boss sligh though

NotARobot

You all shift away from keening already too? It never really worked out for me, and I always preferred the additional ability to hit artifacts if necessary.

NotARobot

HK is also featured in: Sam Pardee game (also on Ux Devo, in which after the game Sam provides some rather dodgy advice and tells HK that he doesn't understand the MU at all D:) Was that the guy who said something about not understanding why he pulled out charm/crack for creature removal? That was ...

NotARobot

Yeah they just don't understand that you cannot ignore your opponent's board state in many matchups. I wish we could but it doesn't work that way -_-

NotARobot

Fair enough! I wish these were coming out on mtgo sooner so I could get some real testing in ahead of time.

NotARobot

No interest in stoke the flames at all?

NotARobot

Managed to crack 2 boros painlands as well as nab my stokes... stoked for next week

NotARobot

I can't say that I'm crazy about agressive mining... Might be one of those cards I'm totally wrong about, but with only 23 lands I don't feel like I have so many extra lands in most games that it would be worthwhile...

NotARobot

So.. .. thoughts on what you all are gonna play post rotation?

NotARobot

Is there a thread for planned changes to the deck once m15 hits?

I mean not that much is changing besides the mana and maybe that convoke burn..

NotARobot

Unfortunately they are much more strict about music you upload on YouTube vs what music you play while streaming

NotARobot

@Hk1997: I watched that 4-0 where you beat Reid Duke senselessness with three Young Pyromancers in play

Is there a link to this or is it a cfb premium thing?

NotARobot

I was thinking wild ricochet and posted too fast v_v

NotARobot

Not exactly the right place for it, but I went 8-0-1 in GP DC today! Definitely want to give a shootout to the thread for helping me play smarter magic overall! Now I have to make it through a few drafts.. wish I could just show up and play some burn! x_x Whats the format? What are you playing? It ...

NotARobot

Do you want to borrow a few flamespeakers from me to use in a couple events MDU? I wouldnt mind, would be fun to see you run them.

NotARobot

IDK. Flamespeaker totally saved my ass last night in matchups against MUD and MBA. Once you start drawing cards with it you pretty much cant lose - mindsparker is nice, but it doesnt draw cards, which I feel like is the key thing about flamespeaker.

NotARobot

What 12 cards did you board out?

NotARobot

Maybe glare of heresy is better than w//t for that slot now? I think UW control boards in extra counterspells and lifegain creatures of some sort - rams, archangels, paladins, I've seen all of them recently.

NotARobot

I've had fun running the shouta list but the SB could definitely be stronger against control. I'll probably end up dropping the reckoners - Purp that list you posted above is almost exactly what I had in mind, t//t and more mortars instead for the midrange vamps.

NotARobot

Can I get an invite as well? Notarobot on mtgo

NotARobot

I've been running shouta's list with a 2nd mortars over the 2nd reprisal, but admittedly not in any events, only in tournament practice games because I'm out of tix and the season is about to flip.
