Dies to Removal

Omg I keep facing this 50 dolars mono green agroo. He killed me with boon satyres spike tracer through obzedat and elspeth... Deck is extremely fast and also quite durable, both giant growth and aspect of the hydra are powerful, but some good deckbuilder need to tweek it a little as I dont really think spike tracer is good in such a deck plus playing both experiment one and elvish mystic in same deck doesnt seem fine. Plus I saw they dont play dryad militant, some dont play new 3/2 centaur or stuff like ooze or brushstrider to get something more from bte. Deck seems powerful, have reach in form of giant growth and aspect of the hydra and boon satyr, and trample with nylea, the god.

I'm down to 2, with blinkmoth nexus, an open mountain, and springleaf drum. In my GY there is ray of revelation. The opponent has a gladecover suited up with rancor and a coronet. He swings in and says "GG". I respond by activating nexus, blocking, tapping him with springleaf drum for green, cast ray on rancor, coronet falls off, and the nexus/gladecover trade. He puts "..." in trade. I grind out a few more turns and win the game. He ends with "you're so lucky, I should've won". #dontsayggtooearly[/quote:2jouf34e]

You where incredibly lucky to blow him out with on the board tricks

All the luck. Ended up losing in the finals. Up to 5 rupees. Riding that Brobot train to valuetown. I lost to a deck I haven't seen before, was r/b/w good stuff deck? I don't even know how to classify it haha. Dark confidant, bolt, thoughtseize, inquisition, etc.

@Zem

Yukihiro Ken got 34 points and lost his win and in in gp with Blue Black heroic with artistan of forms, pain seer, xadrid necromancer, tormented hero and agent of the fates. He is playing bon of erebos, springleef drum, triton tactics and mizzium skins.

OMG I love decks that are sooo funny

MIND BLOWN, agent of the fates + bon of erebos
+ mizzium skins = lols, combined with xadrid necromancer he gain DF protection as well.

springleef drum + pain seer, ok this man wins style points (expect to see this on MODO for about a week).

Forgot to mention Hidden Strings. It triggers both heroic AND inspiration AND can be done twice one turn (so 4 triggers... scary), plus can be eaten by Niv Magus elemental (as every other heroic enabled card, I suppose he is also playing elemental).

LINK ME TO THIS LIST NOW

Might not be the exact list but it has to be damn close to this:

//Creatures
4 Tormented Hero
4 Judge's Familiar
4 Nivmagus Elemental
2 Artisan of Forms
2 Spiteful Returned
2 Vaporkin
4 Pain Seer
4 Agent of the Fates

//Spells
4 Hidden Strings
3 Hands of Binding
3 Triton Tactics
3 Boon of Erebos

//Lands
4 Watery Grave
3 Temple of Deceit
6 Island
8 Swamp

//Sideboard
1 Hands of Binding
1 Triton Tactics
3 Woodlot Crawler
2 Mizzium Skin
3 Stratus Walk
4 Duress
1 Thoughtseize

It's in the GP coverage

He didn't make the top8 so i'm not sure if enough timmies will notice the darn thing and spread it all over MODO for 1 week of free wins or not.

I don't really like the 1 of ultimate price

It's the best 1-of removal (hits the most number of played targets compared to the alternatives) and if it's dead you can feed it to Nivmagus I guess?

That deck is just the nut, going to run it at FNM this week.

I'd probably want two copies of Fate Foretold, that seems really good.

Up to #126 in the rankings.

Nice - I'll be able to play again on Tuesday and Wednesday (then I'm swamped again), hopefully I haven't drop much from my 38th position (meh, as long as I stay within top150 from now till the EoY event I'm happy).

Just lost in the finals of an 8-man to a similar sounding deck. He was
running this version which didn't use giant growth or bte.

I lost to this in 2 8 mans in a row on Saturday, feel MUCH better to know it's not just me The list I faced was more likely the 6th place deck as it had Giant Growth and BTE. Interesting to see it put 2 in the top 8 here and that the Burn list has 3 Awaken The Ancient!

I got YP online twice and won both of those games quite comfortably. Save Chains for Nylea and it should be fine. The other games were so one sided it wasn't even funny, he simply over ran me and had a pump spell for every single one of my removals. It's likely too slow but Assemble might be worth considering?

Were you casting removal on his turn or your turn?

Mine; the theory being that at least then he couldn't get value from the pump if he had it. Correct line or not?

Yeah that's correct just wanted to check.

Does anyone have 1 Temple Of Enlightnement I could borrow for testing purposes please?

@ Zem - thanks Much appreciated

Btw Junk Midrange really stomps on red burn. Too much incidental lifegain in coursers, angel, obzedat and ooze. I love killing my own caryatid so I can eat her with ooze and bump my team to get myself to 5 life in response to his 3rd topdecked Boros Charm and swing with 4/5 angel and 4/4 ooze for leathal

It doesn't shock me that Junk is a bad MU for burn, did you work out how to SB correctly for it yet (watching a set of Duke's videos should be enough if you can find them)?

Mana screwed out of game 3, round 1 of the daily. Feeling great

Good games though, can't fault my opponent for having it all. He drew his 4 Path to Exile when he needed exactly his 4 Path to Exile in game 1.

He didnt play any events with junk on stream, however I managed.

Play mono red or Esper, will ship CFB lists if you need them.

Would like to take you on that offer (especially the monored since I currently don't have basically any cards for Esper).

Will dig them up and ship them to you when I get home.

I believe that after the next update, i have cracked #100.

That is insane you've almost caught up too Butakov who is a professional grinder (well at least he claims he clock up to 10 hours per day on his player report sheet) in less then 2 months, I won't be shock if your in top10 by the end of the month.

Thanks mate. I think I am just playing a really good deck well, and having everyone here at DTR helping me improve the deck and my own play skills has been instrumental.

I already have playing 4 sealeds (I dropped one sealed at 0-1 yesterday with a decent pool because my friends showed up to BBQ and I couldn't roll a blunt and chill with them while playing--the wifi didn't reach outside) and 3 drafts

That actually really impressive considering how hard it is to farm limited, if I guess it right you did this in less then 4 days no? If you keep it up you may show up on the limited potyr and show up
kait as the new limited god >:)

Todd Anderson is in my 8-man (I think he is on Esper) so time to get my revenge for MOCS11(1) - he didn't make it into MOCS11(2) muhahah, so if I can beat him I'll be able to make it make it a nice 3-1 but if he beats me it will tie it up 2-2

Yea, since Thursday. I've been running well and seeing the format a bit clearer with my short break. I think I needed a reset on my pick order, and listening to podcasts like limited resources has helped me also. No reason to be overconfident tho. I've had my rating up to 1850 in limited before and it's only at 1753 right now so...

35 QPs this week.

I wonder if people will notice when you break top 10 in a couple weeks

Your both monsters

@IO2: My limited rated is currently 1770 I blame my MOCS3 which I went 1-3 for that (I'm so happy that event crashed), at the rate your going at you'll over take that with ease

@Z: Standard master!! I'm on either 9 or 10 rupees after this event (beat Todd, so I'm happy)

My limited rating is 1605...I need to summon Madding for assistance....

Thanks MDU >:) I am almost embarrassed by the deck list I took to GP Melbourne, it is so much more refined and powerful now! Well done on beating Todd (not that it is that hard, dude is a scrub).

Well done on beating Todd (not that it is that hard, dude is a scrub).

I'm not going to deny that but for me beating Todd is like beating TWoo - it has nothing to do with beating a better or even player, its all for the sheer thrill of saying "hey I beat that scrub ** times"

Definitely agree, I get the same way about Bad Nelson.

Need some help from any Financial Magic Wizards.

All prices are based on this site (thanks lazer)

Here are some cards which I'm not using should I sell them (I'm I being ripped)
(MOCS Promo) Tropical Island $25 SOLD - desperate times, desperate times...
(MOCS Promo FOIL) Scrubland x2 $28 (but I think this price is a lie)
(MOCS Promo) Scrubland $7.8
(MOCS Promo) Savannah x2 $12
(MOCS Promo) [card]Lion's Eye Diamond[/card] x1 $89 (it went down $40, so its not worth sell yet)
(MOCS Promo FOIL) Batterskull x1 $20 (why is foil worth less then non-foil????
(MOCS Promo)
Batterskull x1 $24

I'll update more later....

Random: does brimaz and daring skyjek attacKing together trigger battalion on skyjek?

No.
