Dies to Removal

For anyone wondering some generalized sealed tips:

17-18 lands
23-22 spells
6 non creature cards
17 dudes
14 CMC3 or 4

Anything over CMC5 or more needs to really add value to deck
Each targeted enchantment wants 4 targets to make sure you aren't drawing the enchant but no target
Your best cards may never get played. Bombs are useless if you can't field another 21 cards around them.

I shift the guidelines a bit by set but thats my general baseline.

I'm trying to decide between B and W for the pre-release. Both promos are great. Both have a pretty good selection of commons and uncommons. Removal seems to be a
little better in B (surprise, surprise).

Im going black for the better creatures and removal instead of tricks and bears.

I'll probably go B also. Tormented Hero, Mogis's Marauders, and Gnarled Scarhide at uncommon. Bloodcrazed Hoplite at common. Dayuuuuum!

So is godsend a combination of "god" and "send" or a combination of "gods" and "end"?

Whoa.

So is godsend a combination of "god" and "send" or a combination of "gods" and "end"?

I'm willing to bet the latter based on the fact that it exiles creatures and doesn't allow you to cast any more of the same.

Which god has the best end?

Pharika. I like 'em spooky. And liable to poison me.

I'd bend Nylea over and jam a tree root up her hippie ass.

Thassa's end smells a little fishy to me.

Xenagos brings all his boys to the yard.

Damn right it's better than yours!

T-Minus one hour and counting until I get the hell outta Dodge. A 6-gang of 12's and Giants baseball await me. And after the kids are asleep, a bowl of Humbolt's finest and Arkham City GOTY edition. Then pre-release tomorrow morning. Things are looking good.

Disregard FNM, acquire kick ass jam session.

Disregard FNM, acquire beer and weed.

Disregard productivity, post to DTR from office bathroom

Disregard Ham Challenge, acquire tissues.

Disregard condoms, acquire.....oh, shit

Good luck to all at the Prerelease tonight~

May the Mountains guide ye all, sons of the Flame.

Disregard FNM, acquire beer and weed.

Weed AND beer? Not a good plan, but a lesson it is all stoner padawans must for themselves learn.

And why would either on it's own preclude FNM?
In my case it was: disregard FNM acquire poverty!

Disregard condoms, acquire.....oh, shit

Disergard ".....oh, shit", acquired Planned Parenthood.

And to those about to play the prerelease:
May your plains be flatter
Your islands wetter
Your swamps slimier
Your mountains rockier
And your forests woodier

For those about to Rock....


WE SALUTE YOU!!!

Trying to promote mini side project: link here

Only running 3 non-enchantment creatures, golden hind, pharika's mender, and hero's bane. Loads of recursion and 2 [card]kruphix's insight[/card], and the rest is bestow and constellation. Surprisingly awesome for having no removal (okay I have an asphyxiate).

Pharika, Erebos's Emissary, and Master of the Feast are my bffs tonight.

idk why I don't play more sealed.

re: cardboard crack, it actually could be ok to funny if the author would stop using the 4 panel format and stop over explaining the fucking joke. Like the mindslaver one is close to reasonable if we cut a panel. Here's an easy one.

here's the original: http://cardboard-crack.com/post/82957809029/worst-fears

here's one without explaining the joke twice.



Final panel still has too many words, but at least it's less awful. It could probably be just the China statement and it'd work fine.

I just thought the red one was hilarious since some one did a entire
article about how red decks used life total as card advantage and that strip basically summed it up in a few sentences.

Picked White, got crap, went Blue/Green.

Played Kruphix, store up a shit load of mana. Play Colussus of Akros and monsterize the same turn. I lived the dream.

So from everyone's experience thus far, is black the way to go?

Black/White heroic if you can, although UW is really good too.

Did any of you guys ever give R/W devotion a serious try?
And more importantly could it be worth a second look?

Aside from that, how big do you think the new hexproof is going to be?

Just reserved my spot for the prerelease tonight. White was sold out so I chose black. Maybe I'll get a sweet BR or BG pool.

Went 4-1 for 7th at the prerelease playing UWR Krakens, Dagron, and Starfish Control. Prepare for hell to freeze over.

LGS owner wants to move up a tier at Wizards and needs to get 50 people to show up for a prerelease. Promises that everyone will get +3 boosters as prize support if 50 people show up. 74 people show up at the hole in the wall shop.

I open my packs, 1 rare is a legitimate bomb, the rest are standard side board cards or not playable. I manage to go 4-1 in swiss for 10th place, tie breakers kept me out of top 8.

The only surefire way to entice a Magic player is to offer him +EV.

been playing hearthstone quite a bit. fun game.

I think Hearthstone is a fun game, but I'm not great at it and my card pool isn't very deep.
