Dies to Removal

Suga, Snaps is...okay in EDH, in my experience. He's awesome in a deck that's able to bounce him with things like Riptide Laboratory and Crystal Shard, or blinking him with Resto and whatnot.

I things he's okay for a few reasons. For one, I usually don't like to exile spells from the deck since everything is a 1-of. If I'm playing straight (or just heavy) blue, I usually like things such as Mystic Retrieval and Relearn, since I can recycle my yard with Elixir or Guile or an Eldrazi.

That makes sense. If you saw my post in the Commander forum, I'm trying to take the Grixis Commander 2013 deck and upgrade it. I always loved Commander, but I never had my own, just used others decks, so I'm going to take Jeleva and make her my first
real Commander.

Blergh. Feel like crap. I wish I could cancel for tonight's class, but that would not be wise with only two weeks to go in the semester. Thankfully, it is a two hour class and not a four hour one.

So having decided to rebuild mind seize around nekusar I am left with what to do with power hungry. Shatter gang is cute (and staying in the deck), but not what I want in a commander. Prossh has a really neat etb, but I prefer commanders with more splashy abilites, as opposed to just big bruisers. This leaves sek, who I have been working on anyway. The existence of murderpost in standard makes me even more interested (oh gods, i'm considering trading post, some one stop me)

sorry to hear that, Windstrider! - hopefully it's just a passing thing!

Thanks, raspy. Me too, especially with all the nasty bugs floating around right now. Last thing I need is to get sick going into finals. They're bad enough as is.

Windstrider, feel better, brother.

Suga, good luck on your deck. You've taken your first step into a larger world. But I must warn you : optimizing the manabase of a three color commander can be very....trying. I did it with Kaalia, but never again.

Take back whatever crap you were going to call your CFB column and go with "Red Deck Whims"

What about "Red Deck Shens"?

Trying to figure out an aussie pun to suggest... Closest I've gotten so far is 'cooking with fire', which just begs for a barbie joke.

He does have the advantage of grixis being a slower and controllyer, meaning you can afford more etb tapped lands. I have already spent a couple hours wrenching on the manabase, and I decided that consistency was going to be better to pursue than speed/tempo. I also decided to jam the tools for slaverlock, because I am a horrible person. More countermagic and or killspells is nice, but adding curse of bloodletting and bitterheart witch is going to be fun. I already tried bitterheart in my ascendant evincar deck, and the threat of deathtouch and a curse is actually a pretty good dissuasion, and now there are even
better curses.

^that got a giggle Raida.

This, NB IMO.

Ham wins.

Anybody wanna' theory craft mono-red blitz or AIR with me?

Fast decks are well positioned right now.

I didn't believe him when he said JtMS was being reprinted?

I don't appreciate you guys trying to out-creep me.

I'd be pretty pumped to finish my set of Deltas and snag the others... but mostly the deltas

I want mucho Fetchlands.

There are non-delta onslaught fetches??

For your article's name: Turn to burn?

Would it be bad form to post my personal Standard deck as a "Primer" in the Competitive forum because I think I'm that important?

I really think that what I'm playing is different enough to warrant its own post, and it is on the competitive level...

Here? Let me check with the mod...

Yeah sounds fine.
