Dies to Removal

Me: 0 cards in hand, 0 known cards in deck, catch a glimpse of second card during draw-step, call judge on my self.

Judge: "We'll do this the old fashioned way." Shuffles deck, presents to my opponent, says my penalty is MISSING my draw-step.

Lols ensue from all parties, then I ask since that obviously can't be my penalty and he reassures me it is.

Proceed to lose the game that if my cards came on time would have been literally unlosable. Curb stomp opponent in game 3 for vengeance.

you've been a great help

You're making things worse for your own amusement. You're kicking a guy when he's down; a guy most of us consider a friend. I'm asking you as nicely as I can to stop.

for you, the world

I other news I ended up getting fish for dinner. Thanks DtR.

Manifest me a river.

Whisperwood me an elemental.

I'm not gonna manifest you a lap card.

I want to manifest your wood on your lap.

We need a lapgod smilie

Why did the Elemental need to be in his lap?

To whisper "wood"
whisper "wood", CORAL!

You win the internet.

Despite the hate, collaborating with Zem helped us all become the better than average players we are today. He fucked up. He will serve his time and get his mind right. I welcome him back when he is ready.

I couldn't have done it without you and Z

Thank kait, too. That fucker was under the table feeding Z those whisperwoods!

:zemanlapski:

That's excellent

Thank you Dechs, LD and Purp. Your support at this time means a lot.

Glad to have you back, z

You may be an asshole.

But you're our asshole.

And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling judges.

Meddling Mages.

Thank you Dechs, LD and Purp. Your support at this time means a lot.

Talk to us, James.

Glad to see you're back here, z.

This 100% this. . . I remember the early streams and laughed my ass off when he was thinking of making Lauphiette and I mods, like "I have 2 big black guys as my mods, hells yeah" Fuck the rest of the world. Fuck those reddit assholes. The Aussie has swag = Zemanjaski.
I really wouldn't have had the guts to get competitive if not for James, and his crusade against vexing devil that 1st year. Too many people in the MTGO community are sitting around waiting to talk shit because they don't do anything else particularly well.
Speaking of which, where the hell is redthirst?

Still trying to jam Tymaret like a baddie. This is certainly a pile of Cards That Do Stuff. Goldfishing @ work to see if it's worth the playtest time.

Rabblemaster, burn, SB thoughtseize.
That deck looks really cool.

there's nothing unnatural about the love between a woman and her tymaret

Hmm... there's an artifact you should consider running in some number then you can up your tymaret count by one or 2:
I mean since your running tymaret and Alesha



[card]Hero's Blade[/card]

That suggestion is bad and you should feel bad.

Decline hero's blade. The second Tymaret is a dead draw because he can't sacrifice himself, so 3-4x is bad. Can't afford dead cards to create the slim chance of drawing thing + winmore_thing.

Satyr Nyx Smith, Rabblemaster, and Mardu Strike Leader are all rotating in on my tests.

These are the lists I'm testing against:

Seen most frequently in the last ~3 Standard events on SCG. Not the greatest sample, so I have no idea if these see consistent play and what iterations they've gone through. Going to spend the next couple days catching up on the format.

Cut the Abzan Whip deck from the gauntlet and replace with Abzan Midrange/Control, it's the most popular deck in the format with some key differences from that list

Add GW Devotion

The other stuff looks okay

Heya, Nuwwen.

Other dudes to consider for Tymaret shenanigans: Sultai Emissary and Grim Haruspex. Sac the Emissary to get a new dude to sac again. Meanwhile, Haruspex draws cards each time you sac a dude.

There's a B/r sacrifice deck floating around in the developing section. It might give you a few ideas.

I thought she was trying to build a constructed deck.

Saito came in 9th at a recent GP with mono black aggro, you might want to look at that as well and see if splashing Tymaret is possible
