Dies to Removal

I was lured here by the promise of MonoU scalps, would you say your trample and Charm makes you the favored player in the MU?

I have a lot of issues with what Kibler has to say honestly, the entire article starts from the premise that MODO is a problem where, infact, despite it's flaws, it's a net good, especially for the international community. Have of his criticisms or more only relate to how the crash affects him pers...

I'd just say fuck it in regards to the big boros matchup. Along with committing ritual suicide for losing to Todd Anderson. This is necessary. I will lend you my sword. I'll take it :cry:, if wizards didn't pull the event and you saw how the match went down - you'll be saying much worst things. Big...

As a Big Boros player, does Peak Eruption scare you? The meta game is annoying me as of late...

I gave the GP list a shot (had most of the cards so it only cost me about $60 and my pride) and I got thoroughly crushed, Big Red/Red-White and Devo Red/Red-White are very common decks in the online meta game - I foolishly believe I could get lucky and face monoblack and esper, which resulted in my ...

I'll post tomorrow after I've slept. The most important piece of info though is which matchup(s) do you think need the most work and go from there. FWIW, I like stormbreath or more mortars vs. G/R devotion and while boros charm is a fantastic magic card, I think you're good enough in the matchups w...

Probably boros charm, which can blank our AotG and dome us for a dragon's worth of damage. AoT will net you four damage plus a falter at most. Hammer could be a pain, but I think we have enough removal to invalidate it. WLH is a life swing, but can't hurt out dragons. Dragons might be ok on the pla...

what do you guys hate more? Being AoT, facing down a dragon, hammer or Warleader helix? (I'm trying to find better ways in dealing with Big R/RW)

Just like Chandra, locks them out of the game I imagine? Nah, G2+G3 they side-out a few x/1 guys in favor for Fiendslayer Paladin and a removal suit/defense suit, you get lesser targets and have to race to hit your Rod before they hit Spear of Heliod or Ajani - assuming your only running 1x Rod its...

magicdownunder

Do you think it has just as much use against Mono White? They also run a ton of x/1's, or in this case would FotF still be better because none of Mono White's creatures have Pro Red? No, its too slow for white weenie - they'll resolved a walker or enchantment by the time you cast and activate it. I...

So was Rod of Ruin the spicy tech?? I must know! ^____^ Its the real deal, Pedros and myself have been testing it against MonoU decks for a week now. It just has two issues: 1) its a huge mana investment you never want to see more then 1 in a single games (So its just a 1x in my list) 2) It only de...

@ Helios I feel 22 is the correct land count. I always seem to flood on 23, which I think is part of why I wanted to Hammers. Post board I can go up to 23 if bring Dragons in and hammers out. @ MDU Do you mean Pyrewild Shaman ? I'll try 1 FotFB and 1 PWS for a bit and see how it feels. I'm still no...

magicdownunder

@Johnny, your meta is really tough nut to crack. You can't play 4x Chain MD if you know you will be facing control, hammer while good vs Control and Aggro - it is just bad vs Midrange so you don't need it. Against Gx (I know this isn't what you want to hear) you need to try and get lucky, G1 - MD si...

magicdownunder

I've tried something similar and found I needed more than 23 land for Stormbreath. Not saying it won't work, just found it tight myself, I ran 25 with 4 Vaults IIRC. 2nd this, I also tried and fail. I watched a few aytor replays and he got to play mono black so many times. First of all, congrats to...

magicdownunder

I only play on Cockatrice and IRL, so my meta is a little different than yours I suspect. Japanese players are tricky for me. They don't follow the meta at all really, and like to brew seemingly random decks that are actually quite good. What are your thoughts on Hammer of Purphoros in the main dec...

magicdownunder

It's not a card disadvantage if you get something out of it (A 1/1 token, saving a creature from a burn or fixing your topdeck). You're supposed to save the [card]Titan's Strength[/card] for necessary time instead of just casting it early and hope for the best. It's like throwing that Shock to the ...

Grats on the result MDU! Looks like you're gonna get another go at it, yea? Correct, if you read my 32 edited post, MOCS11 went down hill from R7 onwards - so anyone who had 5 wins or more at the end of R7 will be invited to MOCS11 Revenge. It will be like Day 2 event, with less then 64 players so ...

Congrats on the result, even though you missed Top 8, it's quite an accomplishment. The reason I don't like Titan's Strength, is that while Scry is obviously good, it represents card disadvantage in most cases, and that worries me. If you tell me it's good, I'll test it, because I've come to trust ...

What did it do for you against the green decks? Your Sideboards matter in this MU, Fight also happens to be a sorcery speed (most of the time) that is why Titan's Strength is better then shaman against Gr/Gu - this isn't theory crafting, I've tested it against a proven field. Help me understand. It...

Beats LSV, loses to Todd Anderson, figures.

It was a very annoying loss, because it was due to player error (on G1 at least) and to make matter worst I fought Todd 3 times this season and my only loss to him has to be during mocs...

Alex is our Chaotic Evil member. Solved it. And, for the record, I am a Viking. Vikings were actually farmers and devoted family men until it came time to raid neighboring shores for more supplies and extra food for the winter.

I laughed at my opponent for having two Titan's Strength in hand after I fried ll his creatures. RDW / variants don't want any dead cards... not sure we want that card at all. [card]Titan's Strength[/card] is a dead card in many MUs, except for Gr/Gu and MonoU where its fantastic. When I did run th...

Oh no. What happened, MDU? Details! I think if I ran your list card-by-card I would have done much better. I won G1 against Big Boros (in the first match of game one I lost because I couldn't hit my fifth land with 2 dragons in hand), I lost G2 against MonoBlack because I kept a 4 land hand and pro...

I think that Pyrewild can be easily reduced to 1-of in main. One provides lots of value already. TS is okay, Pyrewild is still better I guess just because of the flexxibility. One additional land would make 2 Stormbreaths possible. Last Breath is terrible in aggro deck. Arrest / Pacifism? Or Glare ...

Man....today is a day that will live in infamy.

I lost 1-2 to Mono Black piloted by my very own playtest buddy and brother.

Fuck that guy....

I know how that feels...

It makes me understand how MonoU must feel when they lose against Red.

zemanjaski, have you ever experienced those games where you just hit one Mountain and 2-3 Mutavault ?

What do you guys think about trying the 3x FFS + 3x YP strategy with Ash Zealot over BTE? Obviously Zealot in 'classic' PyroWhite (3x Chandra, 23 Land) vs. Emily+FFS in 'new' PyroWhite is debatable and a meta call. I've found that I really miss having more hasty guys, especially when I need one mor...
