I think the lolhammer, Hammer of Purphoros , should be added to the key RDW cards. A resolved lolhammer basically makes control fold. It generates waaay too much VCA for most control decks to handle. In UWx control, [card]Elspeth, Sun's Champion[/card] is the only answer and that's only if they can ...

I played my friend's deck a little today, I found his mana inconsistent so I've been nagging him more about increasing the land count to something more reasonable. Ghetto Green with Bling Mk.

I took Zman's list to Wednesday night Magic at one of the more competitive game stores in my area. I went 4-0 for the night. Round 1 vs Esper Control 2-1 this one. He beats me game one. Double Azorius Charm really screws up aggro decks and buys him enough time to set up. I grind it out as best as I ...

[quote="[url=http://diestoremoval.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=115851#p115851] Removing a single 2-power creature from the board vs. aggro is not something you really want to be doing, you've got to do better than that. If that were the case, they could just play Omenspeaker as a "Scry 2, b...

I keep telling him to run more land in his decks, but he's had success at 20. Even when his Ooze is a mana hungry bastard. So you'd think Nylea, God of the Hunt should be in there? We were talking about it that. Would you think it should be a 2 or 3 of? Treat it as a global trample with an expensive...

My buddy and I are having problems trying to figure out where exactly we should take his green deck. We're opened to basically any ideas, but anything requiring a second color will be a bit harder to get a hold of since we'll need to find the shocks for it. Currently, we were thinking something like...

I went to Monday night magic at the most competitive store in my area. I went 2-2 for the night. Round 1 vs U/R Control I 2-0 this pretty easily. I was able to build a board and get hammer online easily enough. Game 1 was almost a gold fish round. Game 2 he sat there countering me but lolhammer took...

Which is funny because in games like Starcraft people understand instantly. If normal CA is having tons of workers on minerals, VCA is having tons of barracks to make marines.

(Watch me completely make an ass out of myself and get CA and VCA wrong)

Last, is [card]Pyromancer's Gauntlet[/card] a trap vs control and midrange? I've had a little testing with it and it basically turns Chandra's +1 into a must answer game ending threat. The burn in the deck just gets nuts with Lightning Strike become a 2 mana Lava Axe at instant speed. I was thinkin...

[card]Pyromancer's Gauntlet[/card] + Flames of the Firebrand = [cards]Lightning Bolt[/cards] x3. Regrettably Gauntlet is worded such that you can only tack 2 damage onto a given target...you can Bolt 3 different targets, but with fewer targets you lose the multiplier. I don't know that I could just...

How do you deal with suited-up Hexproof creatures or Fiendslayer Paladin in Bant Enchant? And how do you keep up with folks' latest lists? I'm figuring you have to deal with this at your LGS. There's a few ways I can think of, but none of them are very good. 1. Until the paladin is enchanted, attac...

When I was testing this deck out against my buddy's ghetto green with bling (as he likes to call it) that's basically a bunch of bulk rares, uncommons, commons, and 4 scavenging oozes , I thought it was a crappy deck and that I would beat easily. Reality hit me and he proceeded to kick my ass for t...

Everyone with a pulse knee Chandra was good. The Gauntlet on the other hand requires a very specific card pool and meta to be considered even remotely playable, not to mention a deck with the right amount of cards to make it live for one third of the time. I do like the card a lot right now. I can ...

@JWarson - I'm not too bothered by it. The only one I'm slightly bothered about is the U/W guy because he's a good guy and I ruined his night. The Jund guy is a bit arrogant. During game 1 he told me, "I can't tell you now because of the tournament, but I played aggro for a long time. I'll give...

DerWille

I gotta disagree. The hammer is a boss. It'll let you fight through mana floods and give you that extra push when you need to close out a game. It's pretty easy to get an additional 6 power on the field from 4 lands (sac a land on their turn, sac a land on your turn). Sure, you're burning down your ...

I was suppose to go to a win a box tournament tonight, but only 6 people showed up for it so we did a free standard FNM instead so another 2 guys joined since it was free. I went 5-0 for the night.

I'm afraid of getting the curve too high. I really want this to play like fish. Maybe not. The side needs Dispel I feel. And I'm pretty sure I'll sub 2 Jump Horse for the spears. I wouldn't worry about curving out at 3 with white. The color's best creatures are at 3. Up the land count to 22 or a bi...

About that Boros list, is it an exact copy of ours or did he tinker with it?

Hey Zman, I'm not quite understanding the new deck. You've explained how it's better against mono-red mirror, but what about the other match ups? It seems like it would be slower than BTE based decks. How does this deck want to beat them?

DerWille

I'm going to be a bit harsher, but don't take it too hard. Stop thinking, man up, and take your girl to do something fun. I'd recommend something physical like frisby golf, if it's warm enough, or ice skating, if it's cold enough. Don't do something passive like watching a movie. I'd keep it light, ...

Also, bears are surprisingly good in sealed. This format was a LOT faster then I thought it was. Post your pool and I'll see if it was actually terrible or if you just built it wrong. Yes, that was my conclusion as well. The format is a lot faster than many (myself included) expected it to be. I'm ...

Warning: long post Thoughts on the Prerelease *Heroic is ghastly in limited.

I went to FNM last night, I went 5-0 with my Boros Humans deck. Went to the midnight prerelease and went 7-1 for 1st place. My buddy and I both pulled an Elspeth in our opening packs. I also pulled an Ashiok out of my packs for winning.

I've already taught my son to pray to the crank at night before bed.
This may have conjured the worst mental image I've ever laughed at in my life.

Even the Japanese have begun their ritual worship.
