Dies to Removal

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.

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

Look at the list of cards with complicated decision trees.

Now look at your statement.

Now look at the list again.

I'm on a horse.

I like white a bit, so here's something to give you a bigger box to stand on.

- White decks are usually split between 3 decisions with its mana, extend board state, protect creatures, or enhance creatures (anthems or combat tricks). Often, around turn 3 or 4 you have to figure out whether or not your opponent can get rid of your turn 3 or 4 creature before you can untap with it. If they can, you have to sandbag it because you'll need to keep your protection up. Likewise, anthems make everything better, but they're pointless if you've got no creatures. If you have enough creatures on board, do you make them better with anthems or protect them?

- White also has a psuedo control aspect, there's probably a word for this already, but white likes to fuck with the
rules of the game. It's able to slow decks down directly like Thalia's non-creature spell tax or stonehorn dignitary's your opponent skips their next combat step. If you're even slightly sadistic you'll get a thrill out of the face your opponent makes when they realize their entire game plan has been thrown off because they won't be able to cast a critical spell on time.

- White's play style is more about overcoming your enemies than running under them or reaching over them. If the colors were in a fighting anime, the Red fighter would do his ultimate move on his enemy and say, "You're a 100 years too slow to defeat me." The White fighter would say, "Come! Use your ultimate attack against mine and let's find out whose is stronger!"

- My inner Timmy fucking loves soldiers, knights, heroes, and angels. Seriously. The ideas and flavor of white cards usually gets me excited. Path of Bravery? Terrible card but 2 dudes charging a giant ass dragon on
horseback is bad ass.

Generally, I don't find "less complicated" decision trees, decks, cards, or whatever someone dislikes as simple to be a bad thing. If I can put up good numbers while thinking a lot less than my opponents, awesome for me. I won't be as tired as the tournament goes on and my deck has fewer decisions for me to derp over and throw a game.

How dare you come in here with your insightful talk and your viewpoints from across the table.

The problem with WW isn't that it's simple, it's that the archetype doesn't give you much room to outplay an opponent.

Well, usually in those anime the guy with the weaker ultimate move loses so... if your ultimate move is worse, you're kinda fucked.

Scrubbed the fuck out. Lost to a Guy playing Walter White who new all of our names and apparently stalks the boards lol.

So...are we getting famous now? I mean, everyone knows our names, but what we don't know theirs. That's being famous, right?

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

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

I will throw the One Penis into Arial's Crack of Doom - though I do not know the way.

Anyone know how I can get some THS sealed practice online outside of DEs? For some reason 8 mans are phantom only and you get no packs for those events.

First draft of my article to CFB submitted >:)

man I figured it was aggro that killed you LP, I told nuwen that was your only iffy MU =/

She couldn't understand why given your 2 cmc road blocks and angers....

maybe throw in some 1 mana terminates movin forward

I'm no expert on MTGO, but I believe Sealed only comes in two flavors: Phantom and DE. Unlike Constructed, there are no other formats that really make sense...either you're paying into a competitive pod with prizes or you are doing no risk/no return.

Ugh that's awful. Phantom sucks because you get no packs, only phantom tix and a QP if you win out. That's unacceptable to me.

Looks like I'll have to try to catch a sealed DE but that will be pretty difficult given the fluid nature of my schedule.

I'm right with you, Val; that's one thing that drives me nuts about MTGO because I can't often commit the block of time. I've tried to do a Sealed PR or RE twice now and had to bail both times because of "other stuff".
