Dies to Removal

Alex

I've been called much worse things, I prefer to be a lord over my domain than for people to refer to me as "Aspie."

Alex

I went x-1-1 last night, thank you very much!

It's entirely beyond me why somebody would play Tron with all Japanese lands, all of which have art that leaves the viewer confused as to whether he's looking at a mine or a power plant, and none of which have matching art.
Because they're an asshole.

Admittedly I do very subtle
things to put my opponents on tilt since Magic players are a bunch of autistic sperglords with OCD, some of which include:

Play with one mismatched die in my brick of dice.

Play with multiple playmats on top of each other, none of which are the same size.

Intentionally play mismatched permanents. (My Lords of Atlantis are ALL from different sets in Fish, for instance.)

Play with my lands upside down.

Constantly play with my deck half-on, half-off of my playmats.
As someone with asperger myself I would appreciate not being called a 'sperglord'

thanks

Stop being a sperglord about it.

Alex

Oh, add that to the list of things I do to piss of my opponents. I take an eraser and erase the borders on my basics.

Alex

I should have gotten more Abrupt Decays, that card is going to fucking skyrocket. #badspecs

Alex

Up until recently I had 16 Mutavaults.

I transmuted them into Liliana of the Veils.

Well actually that's a lie I played mono red in Scars/Innistrad because SHrine of Burning Rage was the best card in the format.

Alex

Do not switch to blue decks. Your clan's stubborn refusal to only play red decks is at the core of who you are.

I never really played red decks.

Alex

I actually don't even get the fascination.
You wouldn't, you filthy Island tapper.

Hey, my Affinity list plays a Mountain as its basic.

Alex

I feel like I should probably go back to Oceans of Salvation sig.

Alex

I actually don't even get the fascination. There's almost no merits to playing red based aggro in a land full of Sylvan Caryatid and Courser of Kruphix, lol.

Alex

ITT: FOSers arguing over which red common 2-drop to run. Sounds about right
Everything Spam and Madding has said is true.

Alex

Going live, gonna draft some cubes.

Alex

Oh, Suga, I know it isn't an anthem, but I'm also a pretty big fan of Pennon Blade for swarm-y decks.

Alex

Oh, and Phalanx Leader.

Alex

That's going to be tricky, your best bet for finding anthem effects is to lean heavily on Battle Cry and Intangible Virtue.

Alex

What kind did you get? Also, I drafted your cube in one of my videos.
I was able to get a case of ultra pro pro mattes for about 30 shipped.

Did you ever get a chance to look for any of the cards I'm missing? I'm itching to draft this thing IRL

Also, link to the video?

I have SOME of them sitting on my desk, I still have two more boxes to go through to find the rest.

I posted links to my Youtube channel over in the Cube forum. I'm at work otherwise I'd link them to ya.

Alex

Alex

Anyway, any deck I build once Khans come out is going to have a base of 4 Thoughtseize, 4 Despise, 3 Drown in Sorrow. I'll probably end up playing GB. Courser and Caryatid are too powerful to ignore.

Alex

So am I the only person that likes Frenzied Goblin?

It's good against Courser, scrumpy against Caryatid.

I'm not for nor against it.

Alex

I honestly think Todd Anderson made the best red deck that I've seen so far.

Get out.

Alex

@SM - I don't think 3 mana for 3 1/1's is enough bang for my buck.

It's fine if you have a Foundry Street Denizen shell. Otherwise it's bad.

Alex

I don't know if any of you guys cube draft at all, but if you do, check out my videos. :O

Actually it occurs to me how good High Sentinels might be with Heroic. Akroan Skyguard, Fabled Hero, Dawnbringer Charioteers, Favored Hoplite, Hero of Iroas, Lagonna-Band Trailblazer, PHALANX LEADER!, Wingsteed Rider?

And those are only the white ones. You can play whatever secondary color has the best combat tricks/enchantments. I personally like red for Hammerhand, Anax and Cymede, Titan's Strength, Inferno Fist, etc, but I could see green being good because there's some decent green enablers too.

Alex

I think Heroic might actually be really fucking good in the coming standard. Fabled Hero, Anax and Cymede, and a few other choice Heroic cards are actually secretly very strong.

I played RW Heroic in a few FNMs and I was surprised at how fast the deck could be. It is very thought-intensive though, the math is tricky sometimes.

Alex

4/4 bears? Power Creeeeeeep!

Right? I said the same thing.

Alex

That goblin token might be the best thing ever.

Alex

Going to do a few run Cubetutor drafts on my cube and Suga's cube.

Alex

That's correct. I think card is good, not ZOMG BUSTED though.

I mean, I'll definitely play it, but I'm assuming it's not as good as Soldier of the Pantheon. It DOES combo nicely with purphoros.

We're going to have to disagree here. I don't know if you've ever played with Bloodghast, but this card is almost as good as that, and Bloodghast is REALLY good.

Alex

There's no way that's the right translation for that.

Alex

Wow that card is fucking retarded.

Alex

Just finished watching Silicon Valley, I was surprised at how much I liked it. :\

Alex

Instant speed first strikers is very relevant.

Alex

Scrumpelstiltskin

Incoming troll account.

Alex

Remember remember the fifth of November, the mana flood, misplays and scrump.

Alex

Anyone down to play some vidya games and Skype?

Alex

I haven't played at an FNM in almost six months now. Feels good man.

Alex

How do I only have four thousand posts?

Alex

I am the best player in my state without a pro point...yeah that sounded pathetic even to me

Pro points are overrated anyway, SCG points are much more useful.

Alex

I could see doing that if you were Tom Ross, but...
