And i missed it.

[NerdBoyWonder]

That ended fast lol kinda funny how the last 2 people that got schooled pretty much ran off saying"No I'm right you're wrong cause you're a fat, stupid doo-doo head!"

[hamfactorial]

I felt a sudden disturbance in the farce, as if millions of phallusies suddenly cried out in error, and were suddenly silenced.

[DarthStabber]

Of course the thread wasn't getting anywhere, nothing on that site does, other than (perhaps ironically) the casual section. I wanted to jump in, but I'd rather not get banned and i've picked up a few infraction lately.

Those infractions and warnings are worn as badges of honor around here.

Think of the clubhouse wall in Sons of Anarchy with all the mug shots.

[zemanjaski]

The 26 land Boros landfall aggro deck would have blown his fucking mind.

[Kazekirimaru]

So, where's the next raid?

[Kazekirimaru]

;D

[redthirst]

Beats me. It's not like I go picking fights with random fucktards. Most of the time they just happen to derp their way into my life with their ridiculous posts full of hypocrisy, blatant lies, and faulty logic.

[Khaospawn]

Stop changing your logic so much, guys!

[Yarpus]

They see me thinking, they hatin'.

[Aodh]

What are our FNM lists, gentlemen? I'll be building Big R(X), R(w/b) Pyro, MRD, and Dos Rakis, and just rolling a die. The meta's evenly disbursed here and don't wanna' labor over it too long. Will post a report in the appropriate thread.

[TBuzzsaw]

I kinda wonder what he runs and what his own deck lists look like. Very curious.

$50 says he's a net-decked Esper player.

[LP, of the Fires]

I play Esper at FNM so....

[Helios]

Walter White 5ever.

[Khaospawn]

Big Red Fucking Dragons.

[TBuzzsaw]

I play Esper at FNM so....

Not dissing you, just saying his logic sounds so much like a lot of control players I come across, although I wouldn't be surprised that his Mana Nazi-ism has him playing Mono Green Devotion with absolutely no red splash.

[Valdarith]

My local meta is so midrange heavy that I am practically forced to run Rakdos. But I wont be going to fnm until next week and that's Modern night where I'll be reppin Koth red.

[NerdBoyWonder]

Won't be sleeving up Big Boros for another 2 weeks. Next 2 FNMs are draft followed by Modern. I won't be playing booster draft (I'll be out of town) but if I can play modern I'm reppin BroBots.

Glad my LGS doesn't do that, but I understand why.

[Jack]

Soul Sisters 4 lyfe until I've accumulated enough store credit to purchase a better deck.

[Khaospawn]

Freedom - ew, that's dirty. Filthy kithkin lover.

[Khaospawn]

I don't even know if Soul Sisters runs a kithkin.

[Nuwen]

I plan on splashing a second color into Zem's YP$ build for no good reason other than funsies! The net change is +/-7 or 8 cards (Dreadbore, Exava) and different sideboard angles, like Rakdos' Return for a fireball and dark betrayal as h8 in exchange for sometimes-dubious mana and no mutavaults.

Expecting to crush all the monoB/U and G/R devotion builds. The build is a little soft to some esper hands, but no one at our LGS wants to spend Friday night behind a high-stamina deck.

Thanks for the marching band nostalgia, man. I can tell that the kids have been out been practicing formation for ages (it's hard stuff!).

I doodled some Bastion line art, which makes me want try some card alters. I think I'll do 1/1 Squirts, Scumbag bears tokens and repaint Hammer of P into The Kid & his hammer.

[Helios]

There's a pretty good Rakdos brew in the Pyro thread, Nuwen.

[zemanjaski]

If you're going to play for fun, look no further than Tymaret, Muder King.

[Nuwen]

Damn hizzy.

[hamfactorial]

It's impossible to have more fun than Greek zombies.

[Nuwen]

Great article & props on the feature, BTW. We already knew Zem is a fire god.

I really appreciate the author's pause to say:

Basically, red decks reward playing the deck and playing the opponent very well. Combo decks reward playing the actual deck optimally, and control leans more on playing opponents correctly. Since red is typically playing so many individual underpowered cards, they need to make the most of each draw step. Most importantly, though is that you aren’t playing perfect Magic, so stop worrying about what deck has the highest skill cap attached. If you’re Dave Price or Patrick Sullivan, you can talk about that, but for the ninety-nine percent of you, worry more about playing a simple deck perfectly.

When I read the MGTS posts linked here, at least one person falls into this trap without fail. Card evaluation in a shell and against other decks
can vary along the skill curve. We quickly learned that Thoughtseize is the most skill-intensive magic card I've used yet, for example. Until I started playing it, I wasn't thinking about the flow of magic on more than a turn-by-turn clock basis. It's amazing what kind of influence you can have on the game with perfect information, perfect ability to play your oppoent's deck odds in addition to your own.

[zemanjaski]

If the mana is good enough, Tymaret is kinda fucking gross actually. Murks 1-for-1 removal decks.

RE: skill levels (any archetype) what always blows people's minds is when they make a great play and I tell them "saw that line two turns ago" or when I cold call their hand; being the beatdown isn't about maximising the damage you can do in any single turn, it's about winning the fucking game.

Aggro is about resource management. A shock is only ever 2 upstairs and frankly that's terrible. When you know enough to get more than 2 damage out of it, then you're getting the idea.

When it's:
R
"Deal 2 damage to target opponent. Search your graveyard for any number of Chandra's Phoenix and put them into your hand. Tap target Desecration Demon, swing with your team for lethal"

You're doing it right.

Playing red aggro is not dissimilar to playing combo; with the added burden of not just having
to assemble the combo, but having to play it correctly.

[Yarpus]

Weesdom.

lol "better deck"

I don't even know if Soul Sisters runs a kithkin.

Nope.

[Kazekirimaru]

/inb4 h8cha bro

[hamfactorial]

h8cha bro

[zemanjaski]

I need to top 32 GP Melbourne to crack 10 pro points.

[hamfactorial]

If you fly me out and we get paired, I'll scoop to you EZ.

[Kazekirimaru]

I doubt you'll have to.

[Helios]

Will scoop for plane tickets.

[hamfactorial]

Yes but this option preserves my dignity
