[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

Saw that. Kinda douchy little mind games.

[windstrider]

Today has been a day of unending frustration. The car stalled out while my wife was going someplace this morning. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and she was able to drive it back home. But by all that is holy, why the hell can't this thing run for more than a month without breaking down?!?

She took the other car, while I drove the other one into town to Autozone to get an idea of what's wrong. And it behaved perfectly. By that time, my plans for the morning were disrupted. After poking around the engine, I can't find anything wrong with it, which probably means another trip to the shop.

I want to push the damned thing off a cliff and never look back.

What kind of vehicle, windstrider? Fuel pump & sparkplugs (and sparkplug wires) are the most common causes there.

[Kazekirimaru]

Sorry to hear that, windstrider. Hope your day turns around.

LP.updates??

[Self Medicated]

P. Sully keeps saying "Desecrator Demon".

EDIT: And just watched Mono Red destroy Mono Black.

EDIT EDIT: Watching Esper vs Esper is like watching paint dry.

[Kazekirimaru]

LP.updates??

[InflatablePie]

G/R Devotion vs Esper Devotion, Esper played all 4 D-Spheres starting turn 3 (Polukranos, Polukranos, Arbor Colossus, Garruk). lols

(and then Sylvan Primordial and giant Mistcutter Hydras stomped him)

[TubeHunter]

get on cockatrice for a few games, join the first standard lobby i find. Guess who is in it?


Mother-fucking Kahmal!

I beat him 2-1 with pyroboros. (would've 2-0'd him if i didn't fuck up) Turns out when you block an ash zelot instead of my mutavault with your wurm, you will usually lose it to a lightning strike!

I gave him a good game, in which he responded with leaving the room.

My most fufilling game in a loooong time

[Kazekirimaru]

And here I thought he was making progress.

[rcwraspy]

there's a large gap in play quality between players people expect when they see mountain across from them and the players that most folks in FoS are or have become over the last year. Kamahl was probably expecting the former, and got the latter.

[rcwraspy]

I want an LP update.

[photodyer]

RW Devotion just went 7=0 (James White) over RG Devotion...sweet! LK is on RG I believe...now Esper vs. MBD

[TubeHunter]

I want an LP update.

I checked the standing after round 5 (last posted standings) and he was 3-2

[Link]

Man I wish there was an SCG open near me soon I am SO DOWN to crush an esper meta

[RaidaTheBlade]

Hey guys, i need some thoughts...

I've got a buyer for my grixis commnder, but the naya and jund arent getting much attention on ebay atm...
Should I just swallow the $40 as a lesson nd crack 'em open a part hm out/use some of he cards, or just keep trying on ebay

[Kazekirimaru]

Remember how I said women are frustrating?

I was wrong, they're just terrible.

(Apologies to the 0-1 women who will read this[but it's true.])

[Link]

raida are you asking a bunch of red mages whether you should be patient or not

[RaidaTheBlade]

I know right? Patience isnt a virtue i have... I know holding onto the sets for awhile would get the best profit, but me impatient...

I don't know if those 2 are worth piecing out or if they're better to keep unopened and just get no use from them e.e

[Helios]

What happened to buying cards to play with?

[RaidaTheBlade]

The commander set i wanted to buy to use was the esper, but i couldn't e.e

The grixis was for money. The naya and jund were to try and sell, but I'd be okay with keeping them if i couldn't

I jus tdunno if i should keep trying to sell 'em or say screw it and open em up

[magicdownunder]

Turned $2 into Chandra!



Too bad our PyroRakis deck is waaaay too inconsistent for higher EV / higher pay threshold events, like dailies.

Well done, dailies are fine imo - even if you lose one you just that much better for it.

[Link]

losses are usually more due to our deck being "buget-y" and inconsistent than learning things in dailies though unfortunately, as well as the extreme time sink for nothing for when we went 2-2

definitely think dailies are worth it, just not when you're not confident in your deck against the metagame

[Helios]

If you can sell them for more than $30 sealed, right now, do it. They'll be in big box stores and easy to get ahold of for months and months.

If you can't sell for more than $30, open them and play with them. If you want to actually buy a sealed set to invest in, you'll have plenty of opportunity in the coming months when they flood the Walmart shelves.

Also, someone explain to me the allure of white aggro. The deck is literally nothing but vanilla dudes and cards that protect your dudes. Pretty sure Boros Charm is the only card in that deck that makes you make decisions.

[RaidaTheBlade]

Makes sense, I guess. I've got the grixis sold for $50 already, but I'll leave the others on ebay for a few more days, and just see what happens

[InflatablePie]

SCGLA Boros Mirror, player 1 has double Soldier and a Boros Elite out (+Mutavault), player 2 runs out two Dryad Militant (did have a Sovreign in hand he coulda played), gaining P1 4 life to 24, P1 swings in and P2 attempts to block soldiers with the Militants.

I understand derping (I did some bad plays last night) and it's round 9 out of 10 but c'mon man it's the mirror and you just played your own Soldier a turn or two prior <_<

[edit2] Match 2. Player 2 goes Plains Militant. Player 1 goes shockland, Soldier. Player 2... swings in. Oof.

[edit] re:Devotion RW vs RG, saw that match. Chaining up a Purph followed by Mortars-ing a Weird looked painful (Game... 2? or was that game 1)

[RaidaTheBlade]

Suddenly I am seeing scg opens as less skilled then I used too...

Well, wait, what was player 2's record going into that match?

the one where the assclown played two dryad militants into two soldier of the pantheons, got wrecked, then swung a dryad militant into soldier of the pantheon g2?


He was 7-1

yeah


iunno either

[InflatablePie]

Both players were 7-1. (well, one of them just lost.)

[pedit] dammit Fate

You answered your own question

[Kazekirimaru]

A 1/1 will kill you eventually if you cannot answer it.

[InflatablePie]

this boros player is just shoving his cards across the table when attacking

goddamn dude you're not Gruul don't smash so hard

[RaidaTheBlade]

7-1, Jesus Christ... Suddenly I have more confidence in my goals of playing at those things competitively...

Is it bad I wanna point out the 'irony' of a red mage saying that?

[Link]

you're crossing into dangerous territory sir

[InflatablePie]

I noticed that just like Esper players are always making snide comments about mono-red being bad, I see a lot of red players hating on White (usually GW).

Can't we all just get along ;_;

I'm not sure whether to verbally eviscerate you for misusing "irony" or
verbally eviscerate you for perpetuating the "all you do is turn things sideways" viewpoint.

[RaidaTheBlade]

It was a joke Fate, ergo the winky face ;P

And IP, it's just like how every state has another state it talks a lot of shit about. (More then they talk shit about the rest)

For instance, I live in Georgia, and GA's pet whipping-state is Alabama. We mock it mercilessly.

Considering both were done as jokes... (Winky face and quotes ;P)

Also: "It's like raa-iii-aaiinn on your wedding day..."

[Kazekirimaru]

Fuck that song until its molecules weep.

[RaidaTheBlade]

Whenever anybody says the word ironic either correctly or ESPECIALLY incorrectly around me I sing that line. Even when the teacher does it in class.
