Dies to Removal

Looking at the MTGO player of the year race, I see that magicdownunder is tied for 69th(!) place in the constructed standings. That's awesome, dude.

mdu do you have a job or do you get to spend all your time grinding ? cuz no matter how many times I qualify , I just can't put up the hours for 35 QP's

like I've beaten some of mtgos most notorious names on multiple occasions, but the difference is they're ALWAYS logged in. it's easy to win packs if you can play in -every- daily.

It's remarkably slippery

Also, what do you guys think of the boggle deck?

You'll lose to Jund and Junk, but since DrS is banned we may see less Jund and Junk....

I only play 1 event per day (except weekends), people tell me I'm just lucky all the time....

I think its just because this season's Standard was so abuse able that I'm doing so well

What if I main deck the white leyline? That card seems like it just owns most of the decks in the format...

Leyline does stop discard and burn, but Affinity, Jund/Junk, Pod and Twins don't care (I rate these are the top list in Modern, though Jund/Junk is weaker now). Online Tron, Merfolk, Hate Bears and Scapeshift don't care much for it either.

That said if Lilly see less play I believe Boggles would do very well - I may play Boogles as well since I love the comments you get when you win with the list .

no need for modesty, do not make up excuses for success

if you're good, you're good

grind on, grinder

The bogle deck was a meta call by Reid in a championship mostly populated by players who prefer UWR control decks. In a more wide open meta, there are many ways to answer the deck. It will mise wins though, given the right draws, so is never bad. It's distinctly weak to permission and combo.

But then again, YOLO

Well it shuts down liliana and discard so that hurts Jund's ways to beat you, and it stops Karn, pod infinite damage combo, scape shift loses to it too, right?

You can't be targeted by any opponents abilities I believe...

I retract my comments on Leyline (I thought Lilly didn't target, I really need to read up on Modern since I'm also getting ready for Modern MOCS) yeah go for it

and i retract my comments about you being good

are any big tournies being covered this weekend besides scg?

Do you also play local events Kait? I haven't playing any local events in years...

i am what you'd call a local monster

This would be for GP Minneapolis which isn't for a few months, so the meta will probably change a bunch, but my main worry is that UR delver is a very popular deck and they often run hibernation sideboard and that is a beating but it's probably not worth worrying about a 2 of in the board.

I'll buy the deck and see what I think

Currently testing:

Modern:
Boggles
Soul Sister (it still does well against a lot of decks)

Standard:
Mono Black Aggro
Foggy Maze
Esper

Block:
Mono Black Aggro
UB Tempo

If anyone opens a Brimaz and is comfortable loaning/selling it to me, please PM me. I'd like to run 3 in tomorrow's Modern DE.

3-1 in my first release event with Green. only loss to the 4-0

2-0 in my second release event with Red.

nice

i didn't play any mtgo tonight

my anno is sunday so between vday and that i have my bank account on life support

i should be able to get a pre re in tomorrow

yea, the only reason im going to play so much is that I sold like 400 tix worth of cards.

2-1 =/ couldn't beat the agent of fates with 2 ordeals on it

in round 4 of the first prerelease I pulled off the turn 2 satyr hedonist into turn 3 nemesis of mortals on the play. that got a scoop in response

3-1. the rare inspire minotaur is insanely good. did you know he can copy your opponent's gray merchant or ship kraken?

@_@ that's quite disgusting

yea, especially when you use the instant tap-bounce (something helix?) at eot to bounce their one blocker, untap, copy kraken, attack for 13

oh, and the 3/2 conscripts guy is amazing too. I had a 5/5 and the conscripts, my opp has a 4/4 and a 2/2. I give my conscripts +3+3, trample, and I draw equal to the damage it deals, steal the 4/4, attack for 15, he has to block the 5/5, I draw 6

sold all my packs and entered a pre-release

got shitty pool

let's do this

built 2 decks as is my normal tendency

lost round 1 in record breaking time, decided to double queue and jumped into a release draft, opened a temple of enlightenment which i took over glimpse the sun god which was the pick

my bng pack is gross though

uw temple
siren of the silent song
asphyxiate
asphyxiate
nullify

wheeled a divination

etc

p2p1 reaper

bug getting there again?

I like asphyxiate

abhorrent overlord, i love you old friend

i really like what bng adds to draft

at least at first glance

mnemonic wall gets so much better with aspyxiate

1-0 with a hyper aggressive RW in another prerelease (went red again and got the rare minotaur again )
