Magic should be a living card game.
Why do you hate having a thriving tournament scene?
I don't buy it.

Wiping out the secondary market has consequences. Most game shops make their margins on standard singles, and taking that away will make it a lot harder to run a card store than it already is.

I like sweet tea, but the McDonald's sweet tea around here is basically sugar water. It's face-curdlingly sweet and mostly undrinkable.

We say "Grandma stumped her toe when pouring the sugar" to explain that.

I rarely drink tea, but when I do it has to be sweet.

Valve is such a shitty company

I mean, i guess whats new, (a game company crapping on consumers, what a twist right?), but seriously, fuck valve.

[deck]Mardu Tokens[/deck]

Chapin/Flores special from their podcast, seems like it could be pretty sweet against Esper Dragons.

What did Valve do?
Mods have always been grey area legally and up until now have always been free because... how do you charge for content you made for a game you don't own? Valve enabled Skyrim-mod developers to put their content up for sale where valve takes 75% of the money.

So that has some unfortunate implications that really suck (and some of them are major) but most of the whining is "waah I have to pay for my games"

There is a whole lot of shit on the pile for this, not just "wah we have to pay for games." I hate the prevailing opinion in gaming where people should just accept getting fucked over because "fuck you, you entitled consumer."

I mean, valve has been shitty for a while now, but this is just the cherry on a shit sundae for them.

The new tech is to take your old Mardu deck, swap Chained for pretty much anything else and then realize Outpost Siege forces Esper players to Ojutai you or die. Surprised they don't maindeck discard, but MARDU CHARRRRRRRRRM!

Valve CS is some of the worst in the business.

First FNM tonight since I sold all my cards, still got everything for mono red. Should I just run the list from the SCG Open or run Atarka Red?

Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2015 2:17 pm

Atarka red.

Was it difficult reconciling "red cards are bad" with your winning results?

red deck wins ... when it adds a touch of green.

Just 4-0d the Modern daily with Grixis Delver. I love this deck.

Yeah but you can't cast Atarka's Command in control decks.

When you play aggro and your opponent turns the corner, you have no hope of winning. You're sitting there like an asshole playing shitty cards. And this is basically how all of your matchups go, by definition.

When you're playing control and your opponent steamrolls you, you have no hope of winning. But at least you're playing fun and exciting cards, and still have other fun matchups as well: control mirrors, midrange matchups, etc.
Lol

Honestly, given that feedback, I would just start putting Ugin and Haven of the Spirit Dragon in all of my aggressive red decks. :stupid:

Wow that Mardu Tokens list looks pretty sweet actually.

Tokens are great vs the Mono Red decks full of X-1's and efficient burn and pretty good vs Control with all their spot removal and sacrifice effects - especially Raise the Alarm as an instant.

Crackling Doom is obv insane right now.


I might seriously play this tomororw at the RPTQ...long night of testing ahead.

Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2015 7:19 pm

I'm probably playing some version of Mardu as well. Either control or midrange.

Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2015 7:25 pm
by dpaine88
I've been dismissing Mardu even though they are my fav colors because the lists are too midrangey for my style and I suck playing them.

This one feels JUST aggresive enough..

How has control Mardu tested? I feel like you wouldnt have the tools to fight the other control decks because you have no early pressure, they counter your stuff, then Dig and you lose...

I love how this deck can get under the control decks with tokens and back it up with powerful burn and removal and card advantage.

It's that or Esper Dragons for me, but I'm not confident in the mirror at all, so I'm thinking of defaulting to my strength in attacking.

Green decks are HUGE down here, and Mardu matches up against them perfectly.
