Dies to Removal

NotARobot

I guess skullcrack forces master to take damage while blocking? I'd much rather have 4 chains and 2 BL instead of hoping for him to block with the master instead of his tokens or something though...

NotARobot

Reckoner is pretty good at shutting down any agro decks as well.. It's been an easy -4 Phoenix +4 reckoners against any blitz weenie style deck.

NotARobot

Hah I saw that vid purph. I feel like he misplayed pretty hard.. no reason to let you untap with yp in play... but yeah nice stomping

NotARobot

The part where the guy argues he almost 4-0'd a GP one time was great.

Not even GP, just FNM lol.

NotARobot

Sounds like the guy was just 0'ing chandra repeatedly instead of ticking her up? IDK about that... Like vs white weenies he said chandra drew him 3 lands in a row while his opponent rebuilt his board... why not go for the ultimate? I pretty much always go for the -7 unless I'm desperately digging fo...

NotARobot

Wait what he ulted jace and didn't get a helix or something? Am I missing something here, why would he do that

NotARobot

"and 2-0 BW through a t2 Ram, double thoughtseize, sin collector and Duress."

o_o

Talk about worst fears haha

Nicely done!

NotARobot

If I had seen sparktrooper game two, I probably wouldnt tap out on my own turn, especially with a shock in hand.. Its a tough call for sure though. I bring in reckoner for the mirror now running shouta's list, its performed well in the mirror for me.

NotARobot

I've won plenty of games on the back of yp tokens. Never underestimate those suckers!

NotARobot

Looking forward to it!

NotARobot

HK, if you dont mind can you go ahead and post your MBC / BG sideboarding?

Edit : Nevermind you are on top of it!

NotARobot

Also more mortars makes for more dead BBOV, which makes me happy.

NotARobot

Wait just kidding here it is [deck]23 lands 2 Mana Confluence 8 Mountain 3 Mutavault 4 Sacred Foundry 1 Temple of Malice 1 Temple of Silence 4 Temple of Triumph 8 creatures 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Young Pyromancer 29 other spells 4 Boros Charm 3 Chained to the Rocks 4 Lightning Strike 4 Magma Jet 3 Se...

NotARobot

Hmm looks like the burn player took it all in GP moscow! Cant seem to find his deck list though

NotARobot

Sideboarding vs monoblue you took out shock but left in skullcrack, why?

NotARobot

Zem, if you don't mind me asking, what deck were you facing that you brought in the flamespeaker against?

NotARobot

Really missing postboard mortars vs bw and more focused control hate running shootas list right now

NotARobot

It was posted a couple of pages back PirateKing, theres also a few videos of him playing it. Search Purphs posts I think

NotARobot

Well you dont absolutely NEED skullcrack postboard vs monsters. You can respond to Nylea's Disciple trigger by murdering stuff with lightning, and we should be keeping their board relatively clear anyways

NotARobot

Just got back from my thursday night standard, took Shootas deck out for a spin. Round one was vs some kind of UG monster deck. Game one I saw some coursers, boon satyr, carytids, a kiora, and polukranos. In retrospect, it might have been a block deck? I'm not sure. Running 4 chains in the main plus...

NotARobot

So in the shoota list, when did he bring in flame speaker? Against control and weenie agro decks?

NotARobot

The problem with keening is that throwing it out early lets THEM play around the removal and its often quite unfavorable for us... I dunno.

NotARobot

Renounce the guilds? I like that BBOV killing tech

NotARobot

Back on revel burn MDU?

NotARobot

Feel myself moving back towards my old sideboard of this : [deck] Sideboard 15 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel 1 Chained to the Rocks 3 Mizzium Mortars 3 Toil // Trouble 1 Reprisal 1 Wear // Tear 2 Anger of the Gods[/deck] Felt more rounded than what I have now.. Just been unimpressed with keening, ban...

NotARobot

No, I'm not. I feel like I'm not losing those games to enchantments - its because I dont have any threats that I stick early enough to actually put them under pressure, I get them to like sub10 but then run out of spells while they refill their hands and stall me out with counters and junk. IDK.

NotARobot

Yeah, my SB definitely needs some adjustment. Been totally disappointed with keening apparition, definitely dropping it.

NotARobot

Almost all of my losses in 8-man SEs on MTGO have been to W/U control, holy crap does that matchup frustrate me. I feel like every post board game comes down to a critical spell with Dispel to protect it and Toil//Trouble has been sucking too. I'm putting away the Toil//Trouble for Satyrs again. De...

NotARobot

Went 8-1 in 3 SE's last night, beating Sam Pardee (Smdster) in the last final. He voiced his frustration after realizing that he was just lost to a million YP tokens in G3. He told me that I "fundamentally don't understand the matchup" because I had SBed out all 8 non-interactive spells a...

NotARobot

MJ apparently 4-0'd with this deck yesterday. http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/236307

Should be 2 wear/tear in the sideboard as well, not showing up for some reason.

NotARobot

NotARobot

Purp what list are you running currently?

NotARobot

Also, about keening apparition - whats your SB plan for those? I can see bringing them in vs hexproof but idk about most other decks.

NotARobot

Just watched MDU's latest videos, 2 rounds of burn vs Bx devotion. Are you guys not bringing in eidolon for those matchups? I've felt like it performs fairly well against all bx decks.

NotARobot

Too deep!

NotARobot

I like that list, but it looks weak to bw midrange to me. What do you guys think?
How so?

Reprisal kills DD and Obzedat, and it has Chandra.

I was thinking of bbov, the bane of my existence

NotARobot

I like that list, but it looks weak to bw midrange to me. What do you guys think?

NotARobot

Did you find much use for harness at all Gigex? Everytime I test it out its been underwhelming for me.

NotARobot

I dont think I've EVER sided out jets. Scry just makes the deck work.

NotARobot

Purp IDK if you saw this, but heres a link to Z's latest reddit thread on boros. Little bit of explanations there : http://www.reddit.com/r/spikes/comments ... _decklist/
