I'm the trouble starter, punkin' instigator
Oh, I'm the fear addicted, danger illustrated

I posted a Modern RUG Delver list a few months back, which I want to revisit with the recent bannings. I can't find it with the forum restructure. I don't suppose anyone either has it or knows where I can find it? I am trying to reconstruct it from memory but I was actually really happy with what I had come up with

[Kaitscralt]

best to let delver sleep

[zemanjaski]

You're right.

[zemanjaski]

Watched the first episode of Code Geass. Initial thoughts:

- it continues the trend of apocalyptic anime with absurdly upbeat theme songs. I always find this unnerving.
- the pacing is horrible, at least in the first episode
- I don't think I am going to like Lelouch
- I like the plot a lot

Will give it a few more episodes to see how the character web develops.

[zemanjaski]

5 minutes into episode 2:

- Knightmares are cool
- theres a girl that resembles Asuka

Show has my attention

I really like this decklist TBuzz, however arent 8 temples too many? And 2 guildgates? I would like to see a 3 color deck like that to have 2 main color + splash one (probably black) for powerful spells like removals/rakdos's return etc.

I could see how you can make it better by playing more 2 drops that are good in late game - stuff like scavenging ooze. It gains haste from exava so in late game it also can be used as a 3+/3+ haste for 3+.

You are really heavy in 3, I understand that 3 drops are powerful, but 10 of them (ok boon satyr is a 5 drop but 8 are still a lot).

Planeswalkers are really powerful, especially domri. Every creature in this deck is quite big, so you will win most fights, and what cant be killed dies to removal.

Red/Green/Black gives you
access for a lot of removal spells. Between Mortars/Putrefy/Decay/Dreadbore/Ultimate Price/Golgari Charm you need to get a correct ratio, also I preffer to have more diverse selection, as they gives you some upsides a lot (mortars overloaded, decays killing connections, etc).

I dont really like to have sb full of removal spells in deck like that. Would love to have some bigger 1 offs such as Garruk, Sire of Insanity or Ruric Thar. More planeswalkers in chandra/domri/xenagos. Or even proactive way to prevent lifegain in Erebos (drawing card is cool)

Some of my friends recorded similar deck in their playtest. They have some technical problems, however it is still watchable:

BTW, what would you take for Games Day:

Last Eric Smith's Rb devotion
or
Last MDU's RB Agro
??

1. Mana looks screwy but out
of the 25+ games I've tested so far I haven't had any problems. Yeah it's a lot of lands coming in tapped, but I've been able to cast everything.
2. I was looking for something in the two drop slot and Ooze definitely will work.
3. My removals is based off of my meta, which is 90% UW control/GR Monsters/Mono B. The top tables tend to be control, so I feel main board Charm is the right way to go.
4. I want to include Erebos, Ruric Thar, etc in the sideboard, but they're a bit slow for the deck. The deck wants to win by turn 5 or 6.

As for game day, go with whichever one you have more experience with. Personally I would go with RB Devotion, but MDU's deck is more consistent.

Lelouch is a shit character. Awkward.

This looks a likely candidate.

[zemanjaski]

That's it! A million thanks.

[zemanjaski]

Are they going to use the same graphic every time he uses the Geass? Christ almighty.

[zemanjaski]

Yep, three times in this episode. I got it the first time.

[zemanjaski]

Karen and Shirley are cute though.

[zemanjaski]

Zem commentating anime in real time seems like an excellent idea.

[zemanjaski]

Now there is High School drama for half an episode?

[zemanjaski]

Lelouch is basically a less likeable Kaze.

[zemanjaski]

Now Karen's in the shower. Just as I get out, they drag me back in.

[zemanjaski]

Nice.

[zemanjaski]

Eyes really are my favourite feature.

[zemanjaski]

This show is all over the fucking place.

[zemanjaski]

Time for some consistency - Digimon, digital monsters, digimon are the champions

[Kaitscralt]

the fuck's the matter with you

That girl is really good looking. Ellie Goulding-esque.

[zemanjaski]

the fuck's the matter with you

Many things, but mostly boredom tonight.

[redthirst]

Where is this hate coming from?

It's not hate. Kid's pretty arrogant.

Sure, he's probably good, too, but I know he's pretty arrogant.

It's also worth noting that the nicer everyone is to zem the more of a dick he is, but the meaner everyone else is to him the more humble and helpful he is in general.

You may have noticed that the times when zem is unsure of his place (like when we first started the Clan, first moved here, and for a few days after he blows up) his post are incredibly nice, polite, helpful, etc. - but the more comfortable he gets, the more
5s he rolls.

Don't ask me why.

[zemanjaski]

Part of that is true, part of that is absurdly false.

[redthirst]

I know your memory isn't good, but it's true: you used to be nice, polite, and helpful more often than not.

[zemanjaski]

I still am to those with whom I have a good relationship.

[Kaitscralt]

you also have to take the madding effect into account, in another year you will all be blood enemies of one another, it's a curse in the walls

[zemanjaski]

So it goes.

[zemanjaski]

And Duncan's horses did turn and eat each other.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

[zemanjaski]

If you come at the King you best not miss.

[zemanjaski]

It is funny how you want to appear to be this benevolent leader, but you're more than content to snipe at me with every opportunity.

[zemanjaski]

When people want my help, I give it freely, as long as they accept my methods.

[redthirst]

I still am to those with whom I have a good relationship.

So you became a huge dick to certain people because you "quit having a good relationship" with them, but why did that happen?

I think...

---

...it happened because you were a huge dick to them.

It probably doesn't help that you consider anyone not taking everything you say to be the Gospel or people trying to help you to be, you know, less of a dick as a personal insult.

But you know,
whatever, why change when what we got here seems to be working too...

[Kaitscralt]

And Zem did drop many names, and nobody was impressed, and his station was regarded as a pedestal of cardboard unable to sustain the great marsupial's ego

[zemanjaski]

I don't claim to perfect. I won't even pretend that I care.
