Should I be annoyed when someone looks at my deck, hands me cards like Genesis Wave to put in and then plays that deck and hands someone else Jhoira representing beaters/jokulhops on turn 5? It feels like telling a friend to play white weenies and then slamming down RW burn in standard. Shrug.

Elricity

Thanks. I'm not sure, it doesn't feel like it should be legacy style but maybe it is or maybe I'm just not putting enough pressure to slow people down. Rafiq is probably what I'll swap to and retool accordingly. It was one of the combo players who suggested I put in genesis wave after looking at th...

I originally built this deck just to have some fun with a couple others that played Commander with a card I got as a birthday gift. Now I'm actually trying to make it competitive and running into issues in a group hug/combo meta. My experience with EDH is pretty low since I play it only every month ...

My fat jokes are reserved for magic players

I think you're out of luck then unless you want to argue fashion with them.

Your inside source...is he inside you often?

Thankfully, I'm not a 18 year old anorexic boy so I'm not his type.

Elricity

my main dilemma with the whole thing is that gay is my favorite insult and i really want to insult gay people but when i call them gay it doesn't work My inside source tells me to call the manly ones fairies and the flamboyant ones fat. Works every time. Or just say you like Chik-Fil-A if you need ...

Elricity

I don't say someone's black when they're on welfare. I don't call a man a woman for liking to cook. I don't call someone a Jew if he's being cheap. Nothing about being black or being a woman or being Jewish or being gay is something to make fun of or use as an insult. If he means lame, he should sa...

Elricity

You mean playing them together?

The T/T builds could try to go back to 11 W and run malice/silence if they want. Builds not on eidolon could do 2 silence since [mana]RR1[/mana] is functionally the same at 18 or 19 R. Comes down to whether scry is more consistant than the edge on mana sources. Not sure myself.

Elricity

I only use one monitor but yes, it has stayed put in multiple events over multiple days. I ever used a paint program to set up the frame size so it would be in the correct resolution but I haven't needed it after the first time.

Elricity

Once you have it in window mode, it's always in the same position. I set it once with OBS and didn't have to touch it again. Unless you mean dual queing in which case, no clue.

Elricity

Wow what's with all the 10 white source mana bases lately. I want at least 11. 10 means you're not going to have a white source in your opening hand around a fourth of your games and you have a less than 50% chance of hitting one in your top 3. My ideal mana base has 12 white sources, 12 mountains,...

Elricity

Searing blood has never changed how the aggro match plays out. Except all the times it did. The card puts you ahead in the race... The only deck that I'm "racing" that has <2 toughness creatures is the burn mirror and it can be a liability (see my sideboard plan vs mirror. It's mediocre g...

Elricity

Appreciated and it might be the right call. I'm just scared game 1 of having 6 high cost spells before I can remove the chaff. I'm likely underrating the convoke portion more than I should though.

Elricity

Searing blood has never changed how the aggro match plays out. I do also think 2 stoke might be too much maindeck unless you're hedging hard against nightveil specter. A second in sideboard I can get behind though. The rest is just playing with the amounts of cards. The main reason I might not follo...

Elricity

I think it's a very solid sideboard card right now. But you will cry the first time Bx kills Gryff before it has a chance to counter Gary. That requires 7 mana so it may not be worth the fear but I still only consider it half a skullcrack at best against them. Is immune to duress and sin collector s...

Elricity

It's true, I'm actually surprised my Black Mages tracks didn't get hit with it.

I should go ahead and add the DTR link to the introduction. I just assumed anyone seeing the youtube channel was from here. I'm not monetizing mine because I'm lazy.

Elricity

@Elricity Great videos there you posted over this last weekend sir. When you run off for a minute in a MU I assume you're beating a dog and/or kids. Thanks, doesn't look like I'm getting a chance to get on MTGO again until Thursday =\. I still think I'm regularly making at least 1 mistake in just a...

Elricity

So anyway, back to the topic of setting people on fire. I agree with Purp that cutting shock is a bad idea when it kills 12 guys, particularly judge's familiar which is aggravating. Plus YP tokens are at their best here. Also, if you are on the flamespeaker plan, you really want shock to punch throu...

Elricity

Hivemind. That's why. It is a really good card. And as someone who has repeatedly messaged me for sideboarding advice, critiquing other players for deferring to a better players understanding of strategy is a bit lame. You must of thought I meant the word hivemind meant "cause zeman does it&qu...

Was running some tests with a friend with the naya planeswalker monsters version and Boros Reckoner was causing him fits. Does the non jund version just have to hope that that can gore-clan rampager over it or mortars it early or is this just a case of "don't play anything but Jund monsters if ...

Elricity

Sold some boosters at 3.0, keeping 200 ths and 14 jou/bng. BTW can you remember why we moved away from PyroWhite / DosRakis to burn? Do you think cards like Nyxfleace Ram, BileBlight, Drown in Sorrow was a reason? Pretty sure it was bile blight and that it's matchup vs blue devotion was always bad....

Elricity

Since I'm busy and lazy today http://www.reddit.com/r/spikes/comments ... artifacts/

You'll likely see me get bored of trying to build this pretty quick =p

Elricity

Do you have a deck list in mind? I imagine you would be generating into doom engine or juggernaut most likely.

Elricity

My only concern against black is that there's a chance they doom blade it to still get their effect to go off but that is narrow until late game. Can't topdeck the win there though I would assume it's coming in along with skullcrack for more outs. Against monsters and mono blue though, it should be ...

I've been reading some old articles about how difficult it is too go inf. online - but whenever I read post by our new online members or watch Events I see our guys going 3-1 or 4-0 all the time (granted I don't see every game due too timezone) is going inf. really THAT hard? If it isn't how does i...

I got disconnected from Modo twice tonight... is that common?

I've never had it happen, sounds like it does to other people.

Any chance at an invite? I'm Pyrosynthisis on MTGO Sent :) On a general note - why do some of you have diff nics on here and on MTGO when you don't have to? Yes I know I have too much time on my hands :D It didn't want to accept my credit card the first four times and in MTGO's brilliance, they res...

Elricity

I'm trying out uploading the videos in reverse order so they naturally play front to back. Not sure if that's irritating for people or not. Slowly uploading these when I'm not hogging the internet connection.

Elricity

@Hk1997: I watched that 4-0 where you beat Reid Duke senselessness with three Young Pyromancers in play

Elricity also continued his 3-1 streak in that event as well so great stuff all-round guys.

Followed it up with an 0-2 but I'm still up 12 tickets so I shouldn't complain.

Elricity

I'm enjoying it and definitely need the help.

So the big question is, how much are you planning on selling that Bronze Sable for?

Elricity

have you ever wondered what the voice of the devil sounds like? did you ever expect it would sound like every other nerd in the whole world?

Actually, I think that's how the devil sounds in my nightmares. Going through it now.

Elricity

Ok, I did finally have a game where flamespeaker didn't help against black. He killed 2 Chandra, 2 Flamespeaker, 2 phoenix and I ended with 10 lands, none mutavaults. Game ended on turn 21 when I finally ran out of answers for his 8 threats as well. It was a bit silly.

Elricity

Why cast Tajic with 2 mana open?

Elricity

[deck]Creatures (8) 4 Scuttling Doom Engine 4 Volatile Rig Artifacts (13) 2 Pithing Needle 4 Trading Post 4 Darksteel Ingot 1 Elixir of Immortality 2 Ratchet bomb Spells (8) 4 Ensoul Artifact 2 Anger of the Gods 2 Mizzium Mortars Planeswalkers (5) 3 Jace, Architect of Thought 2 Ral Zarek Lands (26) ...

Elricity

Thought about it too but haven't tried it. My fear was that 2 mana was a bit much for a cantrip when we probably don't need the mana fixing. In a smaller land all in deck, it might have a home. After doing some goldfishing, I think you either want to ensoul or shrapnel blast but not both except in a...

Elricity

Done, thanks.

Boarded in flamespeaker in all my games. Saw it once, instantly ate a doom blade and screened for my mutavaults. My mission continues.

Elricity

pillar of light looks nice 2w instant exile target creature toughness 4 or greater

Far better than reprisal right now in the meta as far as creatures it hits vs misses

Elricity

You are a braver man than I. That said, at least you have two outs via banish to his two outs. I think mono blue used to run 4 when red aggro was in its hay day?
