Get a shrink ray, use, and go commit genocide to get your blood back.

2-1 tonight. Loving the deck more and more as I get better at processing the lines. Round 1 vs Esper Game 1: land AZ t2 and go to town. I jet to sculpt and pressure as he plays lots of land. Along the way he disolves a Strike and finally Downfall's AZ, but I close out with helix to drop him to 4, a ...

https://www.facebook.com/Customcardsleeve Debating getting DtR sleeves with the new logo. Anyone tried this guy yet? Looks like people who were going the route of that kickstarter guy, have actually gotten stuff from this guy. Shuffle video on October 29, 2013 Thoughts? DtR order with sweet new logo...

Getting back in the game! Anyone local to test with, Im in the Metro DC area.

Especially with your asscrack hanging out

Had to work on adding timestamps into our app today. . .now I want to punch babies.

Maybe MTGO just gets tired of accurate timestamping and thats why it throws hissy fits.

Some day I hope to play against a dude named Frank Martin Lexington or something similar and burn his face off, so when I turn that judge slip in it says "Player 2: FML"

Hey guys just chiming in that a 3 gate 3 vault looks to be where the math/sim is pointing. Looks to be the best percentage at having RR open at 2 without making other trade offs.

lorddax

This problem intrigued me so much that it's 3am and I'm coding a simulation because the math gets redonk to follow accurately. Zenbit's fault for reminding me that Karstens code is public domain. Hopefully will have an answer for you guys or at least results before Thursday

lorddax

Remember that it's not 18 red sources we need, it's having RR untapped on t2. Tackling this now, but 18 is the source num needed for just access to RR t2. The issue now is the gate to temple count to ensure the untapped state

lorddax

Zenbitz hit me up if you decide to run with that. Might be a seedling of a DtR app :P As for creatureless burn, Im with Z on shelving it as it seems to fall strictly into what Conley Woods said today: When you are a deck builder, ideas that don't quite make it are a part of what you need to deal wit...

lorddax

Ham, its an MHD problem, particularly a slight variation on the Ash Zealot casting formula in your original article.

P_1 Im thinking no change
P_2 Close to no change
P_3 is where the big change comes as the variations have increased due to need for the 6 configs above.

lorddax

Feel free to ignore these posts, but tossing up here in case other people want to work on the problem Its a hypergeo problem, its that it becomes multi variable that makes it tricky. Trying to see if it can be simplified to be NOT multiple variable as the player can handle the squencing provided the...

lorddax

Intrigued by this problem and figuring out how to approach it. There are only 6 starts that we are interested in as they are the only ones that can provide RR on T2 Mountain Mountain Temple Foundry Temple Mountain Gate Mountain Gate Foundry Foundry Foundry Working out how to approach this with an al...

If this is still a thing, send me a PM. Know a couple of the guys at Alliance, some of whom are on the lookout to snap exclusivity deals.

Nope. And if they did Id steal it from you. . . .

that being said, DtR should so be a clan on Nexus.

lorddax

The manabase is the thing that I had problems with on Friday, and it was actually less the colors and more the actual cards, multiple games I fell behind keeping a 3 land hand + chained but never finding an actual mountain SON OF A BITCH just realized that Sacred Foundry counts as a mountain so you ...

lorddax

Worst part about this? Some players did exactly that in the 90s era. Neutral Grounds, NYC. Sometimes you need to bring spray deodorant for the air around you just to focus on playing.

lorddax

Don't know a ton about modern as I just started playing so take this with a grain of salt, but based on what you said earlier, if you were thinking about dropping Bob, have you thought about moving Hide//Seek to the MB which would free up 4 SB slots? Worst case a turn 2 Seek would give you informati...

lorddax

I was looking at Glaring, but just like Eruption, its very narrow and a dead slot if an opposing deck doesnt run it. And in reality its not the hexproof thats the problem, its the uninteractable lifelink. So I'd want a card that seeks to deal with constant life gain ala Leyline of Punishment or a ca...

With the popularity slowly growing for the deck, I was wondering what an answer to the deck might look like and how to counter said answer. This is where I ended up, which looking at it now, is pretty much a GW revival without optimization. [deck]5 Forest 11 Plains 4 Temple Garden 4 Temple of Plenty...

Don't know if you guys caught this but this deck ended up in a mothership article . . .kind of. Verhey basically alludes to the Z\DtR brew in the end of the article http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/rc/290 [deck=Gavin Verhey's Unfated Burn] 20 Mountain 1 Mutavault 4 Chan...

Thanks guys. Now I gotta go to IT to get a new wireless keyboard thanks to the coffee that just got laughingly spilled all over this one

Think we can convince NBW to do alter art for Beltbreaker Behemoth?

lorddax

Another good article Z. Great to see red getting lots of love. Im half expecting to see this deck pilotted badly at FNM this week, which still means more red in my local meta.

Now we just need PT Sydney to be a thing for an entire season of articles. . .

lorddax

So this is a deck I've had in the tank since September, tweaking it here and there. I had forgotten about it until the 20/20/20 deck was mentioned. Think it might be ready for people to tweak around with so Im posting it here because I don't think it fits in existing RB aggro or Dos Rakis threads. L...

1-2 last night. Actually don't count it as horrible as I assembled almost the entire deck 20mins before round 1. Was short on cards so -1 Charm -1 Helix +2 Flames; this really hurt in the long run as the fourth copies might have closed games. Round 1 vs White Heroic Won game 1 in a fairly non intera...

L_D, I feel you man. Just got diagnosed with untyped diabetes (endocrinologist says 1.5 but wont make it official until my next tests) in July after being admitted for DKA. I've found that if its a diet(ie something I'll do for a bit to reach a goal), it won't work for me. Needs to be a life style c...

Looks like its a new bed, now to just find one at a reasonable price . . .

But before that FNM after not playing since prerelease!!!

lorddax

Queen with Pillowtop but when both of the ladies are in the bed and because they sprawl everywhere, I can't be in it, which makes me very sad panda.

lorddax

Need to poll the audience on this question cuz I can't decide and promised the missus Id have an answer before we go shopping this weekend. So I'm turning to the most intelligent men I know on this subject. . .

Buy a King Sized bed that will fit 3 adults or a Jacuzzi that fits 2?

lorddax

Wait isn't Goku the exact opposite of YOLO?

Just stay away from the slash fiction on Gohan Piccolo. . . ::shudder:: That was an unfortunate click and like a train wreck, you don't want to watch but you cant stop reading.

Heh DtR slash fiction . . . don't know why that came to mind . . .yeah its creepy up in there.

Hey guys so Im thinking about hitting FNM tonight and Im going into the meta blind . . . last time I played a month ago I hit 2 control decks, 1 MonoG devo and GR. Is the 2 CTR 4 FDS 2 BO 2 MM 3 VSB 2 Sparky Able to handle a shift in either direction( more creatures or more control)? Is there a wide...

Jesus 973 pages. . . I think I'll just give up on trying to get caught up and just pretend I get all the inside jokes. Also, I pray to God that I have sons. One dick to worry about versus 10million. . . Also with the population growth, is there a new DtR clan? My box bit the dust and havent gotten t...

I used to go to a pre release venue that was mostly EDH players, which meant super day zero value trade of cards I will never use for good standard cards, especially if they get multiples. Note on the pre release based on my removal and evasion breaks, the numbers are low so expect a ground war a lo...
