Dies to Removal

Well, usually in those anime the guy with the weaker ultimate move loses so... if your ultimate move is worse, you're kinda fucked.

I finally found the thank button :D Z I have a quick question, I've had the displeasure of facing RDW Mirrors more often now from the PyroWhite PoV - I reckon due the casting cost of our burns, shock lands and CitpT lands its better to play first. I sometimes find myself shocking myself to deal with...

Anyone else been playing with Pyrewild Shaman? I'm curious about others thoughts, if any. Yeah, I tried him out tonight to hate on the new R/x/x DE's meta. I was pleased... very pleased.... went 4-0 stomping MonoU 2-0, R FoM 2-1 and Naya 2-0 (round four I split for the win) I won't post the replays...

FNM Report: Deck is standard Walter White, SB -3 Peak Eruption +2 Fanatic +1 Flames. Round 1: Josh Stronk with Junk Midrange 0-2 What a disappointing start to FNM. Josh and I had played before, and it was a matchup that I'm comfortable with. Game 1 I was on the draw, with a decent hand but no one-d...

Turned $2 into Chandra!

Too bad our PyroRakis deck is waaaay too inconsistent for higher EV / higher pay threshold events, like dailies.

Well done, dailies are fine imo - even if you lose one you just that much better for it.

Man, I run Satyr out all day against any deck in which I must play Beatdown. Dega included. Even against Naya and Big Boros? especially against naya whether they're playing 0/3 plants or naya control though I do miss me my free wins with volcanic strength... Interesting, vs BRW and BR I can underst...

I'm playing in a GPT tomorrow. Esper and Mono-Black are really overrepresented here. I think I want to play this: [deck]Creatures (28) 4 Ash Zealot 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Fanatic of Mogis 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Rakdos Shred-Freak Spells (11) 3 Chained to the Rocks 4 ...

Silly idea: what about using singleton Pyrewild Shaman ? Once running, this motherfucker just can't stop. Just try him. I really loved him in testing variety of decks. After watching Trollshow go 5-1, I want to try testing Pyrewild Shaman :o btw: I went 3-1 with my new list, I fought so many odd li...

Is there a possibility of running more Mutavaults in this version magicdowunder? Some of the best synergies I had with FFS was when I had Mutavault out and capable of being activated. Perhaps I'm just being greedy though, lol. I was thinking that I want another Mutavault as well XD, I'll see what I...

Woot! Good wins Keftenk & Helios, I took my first important 1-2 drop in weeks today (the inf. streak is over) - giving me a reason to rework the side boards.

magicdownunder

Went 2-2/drop tonight at FNM because I'm dumb. Match 1, Junk - lost game 1, couldn't find two more points of damage. Game 2 I just flat-out punted: lightning striked a Scooze to prevent him from eating a phoenix when he had another green mana up. Had I ignored the Ooze, I could have struck the Boon...

How do you guys find the RDW MU? Its a slaughter right?

I faced Big Boros three times now during the DE's I won twice and lost once (the lost was really one sided-slaughter), I'm starting to believe its really in Big Boros's favor.

magicdownunder

Speaking of FotF, how is the one in the main performing over shock? That was a relatively recent thing that didn't get too much discussion. Its has been great, its a good answer to Nightveil Specter which I see everywhere and can do 2-4-1 vs the harder MUs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WARNING: RA...

I do not own any Strikers, so I want to determine if I should make the effort to get them.

It depends on your meta, against GR and/or MonoU turn two BtE into Firefist Striker is huge enough to shift the balance in your favor.

Against lets say Control or Midrange you can live without him.

The first two sets of videos which I'll upload will be the version running Act of Treason , as it stands I'm currently testing Boros Charm in its spot. Any conclusions on this? Looks like Act saved you against big flying demons. But Charm is good against timely Verdicts. And to face an extra 4 and ...

@MDU: a) could you post what the music is in your video descriptions? my girlfriend overheard the music from the first game in your latest set, said it sounded very familiar and it's bugging her. Not to mention I really like some of these songs (usually not a huge fan of video game music but you pi...

Starting in the dailies next week :) Downloading Camtasia now :) All I've played is the Beta, is it that bad? I just had bad experiences with it, I tried it during the early stages had trouble exiling cards, using basic abilities from cards like Grim Lavamancer and everything just felt messy. (app....

magicdownunder

I thought about trying some dailies but I'm very new at MTGO and I don't quite have all the mechanics down yet. I'd probably get smashed by some noob because I can't figure out how to work my triggers or do things at the beginning/end of certain phases. Just don't play the beta and you should be ok.

magicdownunder

Interesting, I havn't seen any Pyrored list online but the traditional Devotion Red list is favorable.

Really though I can't see why you'll ever really want to face a true mirror unless your many time better then your Opp. (even then they can luck you out).

magicdownunder

I am +$190 so far, so going well. I want to face as many red mirrors as possible, it is literally my best matchup. I just wreck-face in red mirrors. I think last season on stream I went 18-3 or something silly. Devo red or real Pyrored vs Pyrored mirror? (btw 1900+ rank DE have been weird tonight, ...

To negotiate on articles. $10/ video which means every event is a free-roll. Sweet, its not like we're paying for decks or events right now anyways so that $10 on top of the usual winnings :dance: . I wouldn't be shocked if many of the RDW grinders are sitting on $500 or more at the end of this sea...

@ MDU - the Reckoner/Fanatic plan is fantastic! Thanks for that :) If it's not too complicated to explain (cos I'm an IT retard) could you tell me how you upload your games please? YouTube is rather user friendly now, just signup with them and they provide you with an upload link where you can drag...

Negotiating a writing position with a certain major website. It's not CFB or SCG.

Very nice, I hope it isn't PureMTGO

magicdownunder

hey MDU did you get to do any events with your updated BTE list? I've been loving the change but I've only got to test against UW control. I wish the 4th YP didn't need to be cut but I can't imagine cutting much else I'm glad many of you are trying my 02x Vaults, 04x Boros Reckoner + 02x Fanatic of...

magicdownunder

This is precisely why I don't like writing primers anymore, people take my thoughts as absolutes and apply them too rigidly. Playing the YP turn 2 vs. Esper should obviously be the correct play. Adding 2 to your clock now in unarguably better than waiting to try and make a 1/1 later. I still think ...

magicdownunder

DD is good against walker decks, but pretty bad against this deck IMO. It's actively bad against YP, BTE and FFS so it lines up poorly against the core of your deck, and even worse against your SB cards. I guess a big part of my comfort with playing Chandra is that I'd pay 4 for a falter with rebou...

G1: GR Aggro G2: MonoBlack Devotion G3: UW Control G4: UW Control First off, loving the music. Second off, Match 3 Game 1. You scryed into a Phoenix and EOT Shocked for a PyroToken when he was tapped out. Which is a decent play, but had you waited for the Verdict, you could have Shocked next turn w...

Just shoot me in my damned fool head. I got on MTGO right before band season and dropped $$ for all the staples I would need to build most aggro and mid options in Rx/Bx...I had already grabbed Chandra while she was low, so I was good to go.

Thinking about pimping out my deck, but we have some cards going for 10+ (even 30+) which I'm 2nd guessing. I can Justify Mutavault because I'll most likely put it in my RU Delver List in modern, Sacred Foundry is another Modern Staple I'm ok with - but the two cards which I'm unsure of are Boros Re...
