Oh, turns out that I am totally doing that.

[Khaospawn]

MDU at least has video proof.

Okay, so when I say that I spent the last 2 afternoon proxying up various Red decks and playing one of my friends against his proxied up decks for a few hours, do I need to take pics and post it so that you actually believe that someone is telling the truth? Do you really think that somebody like me, who obviously has no shame about posting his stupid, drunken antics or terrible relationship decisions for the entirety of DtR to make fun of, have a reason to make shit up for no reason? Especially about something like Magic, no less.

C'mon, dude. You should know some us of by now.

[LP, of the Fires]

It's still fine. It's not like vs. Rakdos cackler in red decks where it's a 1-drop and you tend to use whatever removal's lying around to kill it early. By turn 3/4, you've seen a couple extra cards and you can be more selective with what you're slinging.

Also, I'm really thinking about RG agro now. Turn 2 rabblemaster seems like a good thing and I like the idea of cutting courser for something more aggressive.

Who's mad now?

[LP, of the Fires]

That's just your spurglord defense.

[Khaospawn]

I mean, I totally could've posted pics. I tend to draw tits and dicks on some of my proxy cards.

I'm not. I was actually laughing when I wrote that.

This is priceless.

[Alex]

That's just your spurglord defense.

You should see how angry my girlfriend gets when things that upset her don't bother me at all.

"Oh my god the fish died! "
"Oh, that sucks."
"You're not upset!?"
"No, it's just a fish."
"..."

[Purp]

I'll take dressed to burn.

RG aggro stopping at 3? but polyk and sbd would get lonely. You are going to start with RG aggro, and just end up with RG monsters.

[Khaospawn]

The more I think about it though, I don't think I really question anyone's actual testing/results. But I am starting to wonder how seriously they take it. Like, do some people just play a few games and then come back saying, "This card was fucking BONKERS and I LOVE it"? And then people just take that and run with it? I dunno.

I'm just sitting in my corner testing a bunch of little Red aggro decks and not really liking any of it.

[LP, of the Fires]

I'm not stopping with 3.

I'm likely gonna end up somewhere in the middle of agro and monsters. I'm just cutting the non-aggressive stuff like courser and Caryatid for Rattleclaw and Rabblemaster/fanatic of xenagos/boon satyr.

I could also see running ashcloud phoenix in this deck, though I think that's 'too cute' when polukranos is probably just better.

[LP, of the Fires]

I believe I articulated why Red Aggro sucks some days ago, though thirst's deck looks promising.

[Khaospawn]

Yeah, but I'd rather stick my head up the cow's ass instead of taking the butcher's word.

I'll admit that's how I felt about Rally the Peasants and Dynacharge. I played very few games with them before going to GP Charlotte with them. They
performed well but it was a total shot in the dark.

[Khaospawn]

I like the Crowd's favor in red's deck. But it's very similar to where I've ended up myself.

I fell in love in Butcher. I am gonna win something with it. But yeah, I always fall for something. MTGO is great for that, because dailies are doable even with dumb cards.

[Alex]

I'm pretty sure if every DTR member had an invitational card, mine would probably be Midnight Haunting though. It was another card that I just looked at and was like "Whoa this card is really good..."

I'd like for mine to be Hellrider. I pulled 2 of those fuckers in the DKA PreRelease after returning from hiatus (skipped INN for...reasons) and jammed him in every game of Magic I played until he rotated.

[Jedi_Knight]

Firecat. Blazing. Or whatever the fuck was it's name. I loved that bitch. Even though I went 1-6 with it.

Bringing down the Sledge.

[Khaospawn]

Although, it could probably benefit from another land, methinks.

[LP, of the Fires]

First past, will test later tonight(or tomorrow).

[Jedi_Knight]

My testing will be done on MTGO. With Butcher.

[Khaospawn]

I'll be lucky if I can get around to do any more new Standard testing this week. My work week is all jacked up, along with the rest of my Magic buddies' schedules. I tried to get as much in as I could the last 2 days. Fingers crossed for maybe Thusday night.

[Purp]

Post pictures of your testing or else Alex won't believe you.

[Khaospawn]

[Khaospawn]

Pics or it didn't happen!

[Khaospawn]

I think I'm starting to hate my job. Like, who the fuck wants to work the corporate retail grind when there's so little time for Magic activities!?

[Khaospawn]

[Jedi_Knight]

I plan to supply that with new WoW expansion. Because fuck pandas.

[Platypus]

Has anyone been "testing" any Boros lists? I'm thinking something mostly red, with white mainly for Banishing Light/Suspension Field/Chained to the Rocks. Maybe Iroas?

Nothing like a FOS vs FOS feud to bring back all of the lapsed members.

[Second Harkius]

also if someone wants to make me an official 'FOS' sig that would be awesome.

it should reflect both my disdain of scrumps and my love of memes and trolling

winner gets a rare "Spam thank".

[LP, of the Fires]

Not yet Platypus. Probably won't since it's lateish in testing, but if I did, it would include Chain and Wing-Mate Roc probably as the only white cards, then I'd go from there.

Not sure how I feel about Heir. Should we not be playing Xenagos walker? Sure he doesn't line up well against Sarkhan or Mantis Rider but who cares?

[Khaospawn]

Is this going to be like a Gorillas in the Mist type thing? You're going to live with us in the wild, learn our ways and language, but then sell us out to poachers at the last minute?

Scrumpers in the Mist....
