And he's not the only one at my LGS who does that. There's a whole little clique of them. One of them bought a Jund deck (INN/RTR season) and actually did pretty well, which just reinforced them all to do it even more.Man, this sounds exactly like some kid who used to play at the LGS I used to go to, right down to the way he'd buy decks wholesale off of eBay. Always so annoying to play against 'cuz of shit like this, he'd do shit likeI don't think he knew how to run it. Game 1 I played T1 Stromkirk Noble, T2 Ash Zealot, T3 Reckoner, and then he scooped. Game 2 he got the combo off, and I hadn't boarded because I didn't see his deck at all game 1. Game 3 I double Slaughter Games and he scoops again.
I find out later that night he'd bought the deck whole on eBay and it had arrived that day.
scoop game 1 and say something like "You won 'cuz your hand had more money in it" when the biggest ticket card I'd be holding was like a Wall of Omens or something and his hand was just a grip of Vengevines.
I used to think I could win by netdecking a top list too. But these FoS pricks rid me of that misconception pretty quickly.

I'm getting a playset of this one, but that being said I don't like its anti-Storm implications. Thankfully, it has a double R casting cost so that limits its usability a bit.

No, I also have to put up with people like Dechs trying to be clever.I tried telling people on Facebook that Ajani isn't that good. Now I'm "the bad guy." Why do I even bother?

As far as Standard goes, he's probably going to be more useful in a little dudes deck that just want to attack. You can inflict more damage than you'll take from him by attacking. And then your opponent will take some damage from trying to stop your onslaught if they play some removal spells.
In a pinch, Khaos' beard can help turn this around.

They have to kill it or take more damage. "Gullible and expendable, that's a 2'fer."As far as Standard goes, he's probably going to be more useful in a little dudes deck that just want to attack.

Yup. Taking damage isn't too big of a deal as long as your opponent takes more.As far as Standard goes, he's probably going to be more useful in a little dudes deck that just want to attack.

What do we thinks going to see more success, New Ajani, or Keranos?
Both cards are 5 mana and mostly gaurentee 1 turn of value. Ajani is easier to answer, but gives immediate value. Keranos is infinitely more difficult to answer, but needs multiple turns to get value. Both cards are in arguably mediocre colors, but the UR scryland being absent from standard means UR hasn't really had a chance to shine meaning there's plenty of room for a new archetype to appear.

How's about setessan tactics? I'm not 100% sure what shell it goes in, but that is some serious removal in green. I was nervous about strive, but this card has some real potential, especially as an instant speed mass removal spell.
thanks to nbw for the sig.
You do need to try to gay it up a little more.
You're like the least gay member of this clan.
And that's counting the fact that you voluntarily have sex with men.
