Dies to Removal

Sasky

It is not for me (using the ipad app).

Sasky

This set is easy to understand. Play creatures, make them big, or play lots of really small creatures that pump each other. Your opponent most likely has no removal.

I just came back from midnight pre-release. Built a boros aggro deck and went 3-0 before going home to get some sleep. I opened two hammers of purphoros. Akroan legionnaire, Anax and Cymede, and wingsteed rider are all super powerful with combat tricks and win games out of nowhere due to this set be...

Sasky

That deck looks like woody allen trying to be sylvester stallone.

Sasky

I just copied the manabase I had for a boros deck, but that deck ran grim lavamancers. So yeah, you don't need so many fetches. Derp.

Sasky

I did not say that the list was performance perfect. It's a "perfect" list based off the article's calculation. It is a starting point but requires heavy tweaking.

Sasky

I was quite fascinated with this article and its applications to modern. Here is a "perfect" aggro list I came up with using his numbers: [deck]Creatures:27 4 Diregraf Ghoul 4 Goblin Guide 4 Gravecrawler 4 Rakdos Cackler 3 Goblin Deathraiders 4 Gore-House Chainwalker 4 Spike Jester Spells:...

My cock's name is...

Oh we're talking about dogs.

Went 3-0 at cube draft last night after drafting this monstrosity of a control deck.

I will take 4 of the new jackal pup, thank you.

I think I'd play that minotaur over the 4CC god. I might be wrong though.

In other news, I went 8-2 in modern using B/G midrange. Sick deck is sick, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a modern deck to play for high stakes.

Sasky

Jesus Christ wizards, BLUE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GET POWERFUL REMOVAL SPELLS YOU FUCKTARDS:

Sasky

No homo.

Sasky

I feel for you across the world man.

We're all here for you, and so are your irl friends. Talk it out with people you trust. You'll get through this.

Sasky

Oh, she has her reasons. She happily told them to me through the window after she locked me out last night for a while.

It kinda is as bad as I think.

Ouch, that's pretty bad. I'm sorry to hear that man. Hope everything goes well.

Sasky

Three months into marriage and the wife is "taking a break." I don't think we've been apart for a day in years. Now she's staying with a friend for a few days. Maybe longer. I don't know how to deal with this. I'm gonna play the boring guy and advise you to give her the break. No calls, n...

Sasky

He takes up too much space.

Sasky

Sorry about that.

But not really.

Pics were awesome though.

Sasky

It's officially getting more difficult to read this thread in the office.

Sasky

Replace one of those creatures with young pyro? Hadouken dude is dead? Pillar your guy make another hadouken dude!

Sasky

The only thing better than storm crow...

... Is two storm crows.

Sasky

Also, it's hard impossible to be strictly better than Storm Crow.

Corrected for you.

Sasky

OH BY THE WAY HERE'S A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT SO THAT YOU GUYS WILL STOP MAKING US LOOK BAD.

Wtf mutavault is teh awesum. Have you ever attacked with a 2/2 PRINCE OF LIES DESTROYER OF WORLDS? Because that's mutavault's creature type too bitch.

Sasky

Red is so awesome in this standard. After playing a fair bit of games against all the top tier decks, I can confidently say that mono red is one of, if not the best deck now.

@Khaos: Hang in there man. I think the old British army saying is handy here: Keep calm and carry on. All the best.

Sasky

Hang in there Khaos and Strider. As the Buddhists like to say, everything is transcendent and cyclical so bad things always come and go into good things.

Sasky

That misspelling sounds a lot like "camwhore".

Sasky

Come on, it's pretty obvious I was talking about post-rotation.

Sasky

Would you rather play ogre battledriver or chandra as the rdw four-drop of choice?

Sasky

FTV:20 is like a cube owner's wet dream.

Sasky

Mono red is awesome with the M14 additions of shock and mutavault. I played some games in between rounds at a modern tourney today against Jund and Junk Crats and didn't lose a single game. The difference between shock and pillar is quite big, for example killing aristocrat in response to sac'ing or...

Sasky

I think I've had a Mono R breakthrough and MAY have found THE Rx deck for the next three months. Yes, it features Mutavault. Do you accept bets? I figured it out bros. Creatures 4 Kangaroo 4 Bungie Jumper 4 Aboriginal Guide 4 Beached Az 4 Wolf Girl 3 Paul Hogan Artifact 3 Vegemite 3 Sword of Slow I...

Sasky

If there are no good one-drops printed for red in a world without thundermaw hellkite and hellrider I'm gonna be pissed.

Basically just means we can neither go small nor big.

Sasky

@Sasky - Goblin Shortcutter instead of Firefirst, maybe? A list running 4x Hellrider should by default also have enough to enable battalion reliably, but Shortcutter has the surprise factor with the ETB effect.

Excellet idea. I have not been following M14 much so that card slipped my view.

Sasky

The 2/2 split sounds good.

Sasky

I so want to play with Shivan Dragon though. I have like a playset of the FTV promo. Anyone got a good shell for him?

Sasky

Is Burning Earth good? I remember Manabarbs being awesome, but burning earth seems a bit narrow.

Sasky

Maybe I can replace Mauler with firefist striker? Seems bad though.

I want to play Legacy so much. I have such an expensive deck (deathblade) but no tournament to play in.

Sasky

Happy birthday Christen! Drinks + sex = awesome birthday. Here's wishing you copious amounts of both.

Sasky

I'm taking night classes after work every day, so I don't get to play much standard, but this will be the deck for me for these last three months.
