Merry Christmas ya filthy animals

[zemanjaski]

So, New Year's Eve is a good time to pop the question, no?

I haven't even got a ring.

[zemanjaski]

And I'd want to try living together first.

[Platypus]

And I'd want to try living together first.

That's a very good idea.

[Valdarith]

If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it.

Whoa oh oh.

[windstrider]

And I'd want to try living together first.

Absolutely.

See? Proper sequencing.

[redthirst]

I leave for a few days and y'all let the rabble in.

What would you consider fun in an EDH deck, Kaze?

[Nuwen]

Merry Christmas~

We're on a white-sand beach this year. Fuck yeah.

You guys are the best , I only became a Youtube partner last month just throwing in random videos of the game I love for fun so I was really shocked when I received $24 in the mail today (It was for the stuff I posted on November when i still had a low fan-base so I figured I'll only get .20 Cents or something).

I think the amount will be much higher this month since the Subs and View count is much greater then November, I'm very grateful for the support guys and I'll continue try my best to return the support you have shown me.

Your videos are great ! We'll continue watching them until you
can earn a real wage

I see too many people trying to be aggressive by playing weak cards. Zephyr Sprite, Cloud of Faeries, Frostburn Weird etc. all suck.

Anyone plays goblins in pauper ?
If you want to be aggressive, that's the right deck.
It is also less stupid than it seems, rewards tight play a lot.

[RedNihilist]

Merry Christmas ya' all.

E Buon Natale all'inaspettato altro italiano che è comparso :0

[Jack]

Merry Christmas (Eve), FoS.

[Lightning_Dolt]

It's officially Christmas here. Merry Christmas, ya bastards. All the best

[Jack]

Johnny, I just read through your tourney report, and I must agree that that is the sweetest GP playmat I've ever seen.

[Christen]

Merry Christmas from the Philippines you all!

[Kazekirimaru]

Merry Christmas, Eastbros.

[photodyer]

Merry Christmas to all you Down Under brothers... bro hugs and a great beer toast to you.

All you 'Muricans gotta wait til tomorrow!

[Kazekirimaru]

Something that doesn't make the whole table hate me like my last two decks(Jhoira and Momir Vig).

Seconded! I love a good Mountain

Have you seen this: Elder Dragon Vault? I was passain through San Marcos, Texas and found this at Alphe Strike Games. It's a dual Commander deck and Dice Box. You also get a nice 20 sided dice. It cost me about $30. The company is called Legion Gaming Supplies. The cover is a lizard trype of hide to simulate dragon hide. They also make a Binder with similar hide cover for $30 (the Store I went to). There is a magnet to hold the lid shut and it is made really well.
Kaalia and Nekusar have a new home!

Variance is not being kind to me tonight. Lost the first games of two straight eight mans.

Also, I'm sick of "Turn one Thoughtseize you." I'm even more sick of the baddies that keep it in against me postboard and still win.

You are aware that many high level players keep some Thoughtseize post board against red right? Hitting high value cards like your 4/4 haste creature, Skullcrack or other anti-
lifegain card is a huge swing in their favor.

That player which won the GP with BR actually boarded in TS against red that how strong thoughtseize is, its just all about the timing.

I'm aware, yes. That doesn't mean they're right. I see a lot of black players keeping Thoughtseize in against even burn decks. Against a deck where the opponent's cards all do the same thing (3-4 damage) that's the last card you want to play.

Thoughtseize is great vs. burn decks. Quite being bad.

NCIS, Special Agent Gibbs. He slaps the back of folf's head who say stupid shit or go off topic.

And PAGE 700!

Okay...what's the magic required to get the youtube tags to work??

FIXED THANKS TO SM!!!

[Self Medicated]

LOL! I'm watching you trying to edit the post Jerry. Sorry for laughing. I went through this same ordeal a few weeks ago. I learned that you just copy the address from the browser address bar. Then take out the "S" from https and wrap the whole thing in youtube tags.

[photodyer]

Thanks, SM...I would never have thought to pull the damned S!

[Self Medicated]

No worries. It eluded me for quite some time.

By the way, coffee and Wynton Marsalis is a great way to spend your morning.

No it's not. Learn to play (and spell).

Merry christmas redbros! Currently being alone due to a visit from my old friend influenza, and not really being able to drive for 6 hours, and even if I could I really don't think the flu is a gift worth bringing.

How dare you not know what that means

Why would anyone under 40 know what that means? I am only aware of ncis because my parents are always watching it.

It's an okay
deck, it's the closest thing the format has to RDW. It just can't compete with affinity since it has more bad matchups, in my experience even hexproof and stompy are better positioned. I would put it on par with blink decks, both are kinda rogue.

If you want to tap mountains I recommend burn, it's fairly simple and mindbogglingly consistent (I am undefeated with it in paper).

[Kazekirimaru]

I only know of the headslap thing thanks to commercials on USA while I'm waiting for Psych to come back on.

The flu sucks. Did you get your yearly shot? Bet you will next year!

[DarthStabber]

I did not get a flu shot. Everytime I get a flu shot I am mildly ill for like a month, so for the past 5 years i've just done without, and caught the flu twice. It's a case of maybe getting it, or guaranteed getting a lesser version over a longer period of time. The last time I caught the flu was during the swineflu panic, which freaked me out, but it turns out it was just regular flu.

Thoughtseize is great vs. burn decks. Quite being bad.

How does the burn player win? How does the black player win? How does
thoughtseize affect the situation?

Burn player needs to deal 20 damage without dying to what, desecration demon/pack rat/gary. Black player needs to stabilize till he can win with aforementioned cards. Mono-black runs approximately 8 million removal spells to burns 8-12 creatures(cacklers/phoenix/YP/Dragon and dragon would probably get boarded out).

The burn player likely doesn't improve his deck much at all after board because the strat is fairly straightforward. The biggest improvement is playing 4 toil/troubles postboard assuming they aren't maindecked. The black player gets to make a bunch of changes and improves his deck massively(mostly taking out connections/erebos) and gets to add duress and additional copies of pharika's cure.

The reason having access to 2 thoughtseiz'es is still good(or great) is because you still want 6 discard effects. If you want to be obstinate, paying two life against a burn deck "feels bad". The goal though is to win the most games of magic and
thoughtseize accomplishes this. I've won all my matches vs. burn with Esper and Mono-black usually on the backs of turn 2/3 thoughtseizes taking toil/troubles which is affectively a gain 4+ for me. You don't even suffer the traditional weakenss of discard being bad top-decks since you rarely get to that point and you have pack rat. Your 1 mana disruption spells function as curve fillers(turn 1, discard, turn 2, removal, turn 3, removal+discard being an example) and additonally all of the burn players cards DON'T do the same thing. Toil, Chained to the racks, and Skullcrack are all the important cards that the black player cares about and discard is the one way to answer all of them.

You can call your opponent bad for thoughtsezing you on turn forcing your skullcrack and having him take a lightning strike(or whatever) but in reality, he probably knew what he was doing better then you did and was setting up gray merchant to win the game.

Same applies to esper really. People get surprised when I bring
in my anti-control package vs. the burn deck but it turns out sin collector, negate, and the third thoughtseize are equally great vs. Red spell based decks as they are vs. blue spell based decks.

[Wraith223]

The flu sucks. Did you get your yearly shot? Bet you will next year!

Fuck flu shots. They NEVER worked for me. Have not gotten the flue since the last time I got the flu shot (after getting the shot within a week).
