Dies to Removal

Happy birthday LP!

Losing to Vidi due to a misplay hurts.

Happy bday LP.

I 7-0-1'd my first event of new standard; we split top 4 and the three other decks we're burn so you may be right. I just find the mana base so unappealing.

It could be worse but why don't you try to fix it?

Maybe it needs more tri-lands.

I have not found the mana to be that terrible when you have 8 scry lands and 4 magma jet to help smooth things.

You only need blue for 2 cards.


The deck is dope, it really is. Jeskai Charm is amazing, all modes are very strong. Mantis Rider as well just so good against green.

Green is probably my least fav color so you won't see my playing Caryatid and Courser.

All that matters is winning though.

You can win with a lot of decks.

Plus, not like the deck didnt win the first larger standard event of KTK.

If thats all that matters, why havn't you been playing the #1 deck each season?

You didn't understand what I wrote.

How about elaborating or explaining yourself so we can have a discussion instead of simply saying I don't understand what you said.

You didn't understand what I wrote.

Takes two to communicate. It's mighty arrogant to assume the problem is on his end.

Dechs you're making assumptions, not me. If rathe never interact with you, it's just such a waste of time.

@ dpaine: all that matters is winning = play whatever, just be sure it wins.

But also, don't use SCG results as indicators of anything, it makes us all dumber.

Your deck doesn't need my seal of approval, my opinion is meaningless.

We know you hate SCG Open, but so far its one of the only events we have to go off of. Its better than nothing till the Pro Tour.

I appreciate what you did for the deck last season. Just figured I owe it to you to let you know that Burn is back for this season- whether its a more Boros control shell, Boros burn or Jeskai Burn. I love your work and am cautiously excited to see what you could do with this archetype for this season.

We lost two 4-damage spells but we gained one so now we have two 4-damage spells, just like it was before Stoke was printed and burn was still good.

Mana could be better but we played guildgates last season in burn at one point in time and it was fine and the Tri-Lands are obviously better than guildgates. I was thinking of cutting 2 scrylands possibly to go to 3 tri-lands to make the mana better. If your mana is right, this deck is very hard to beat.

You were the Boros Burn master man, I value your opinion quite high in relation to this archetype and red in general.

Congrats on the T4 split Dan!

why would you be "cautiously excited"?

Play Caryatid, Courser and Nissa
Profit

Cause it sounds like he has no interest in working on Burn at the moment... I love the thought of a new Zem Burn deck, but it might not ever happen. Hence why I am cautious in how excited I am.

Sounded really weird when I typed it....maybe bad choice of words.

You said he didn't understand you. That statement implies blame on his side. We all know you're a prick; you could at least own up to it if you're not going to apologize.

It does not imply blame. You're just looking for a fight for reasons unknown to me. Grow up.

This. I don't have any incentive to work on a Burn deck; I've tested a bunch for the PT and I think bug is the best deck by a small margin; at least if you're expecting to beat little aggro, green midrange creature decks or burn.

I do enjoy Dech's ironically self delusional posting at times though. Assuming someone is making assumptions so that he can tell them off is a new highlight. Then the classic "doesn't matter if I'm wrong because you're an asshole! Right guys?". Bravo.

I've consistently been unimpressed by Nissa in this format. Bitch dies a lot.

Played your UB control deck yesterday to x-scrump finish. Deck seemed fine, not great. I'd actually splash white for just resolute archangel. Was very annoying to gain control of the game, but stuck at 5 life and dying to topdecked shit 20 turns in.

Happy birthday, Mr. Kincey

Happy birthday LP.

Also, Thanks everyone.

I'm gonna go hang out with friends playing in a GPT at one of the LGS for a bit, then me and my father are going to a Brazillian steakhouse for dinner.

Jeskai Burn is just like burn last format: all the pilots are terrible.

Brazilian steakhouses are the best.

Happy birthday, LP!

Happy birthday LP. May all your magical wishes come true.

Happy birthday, LP.

Happy birthday, LP!

I think a reanimator deck may be the best deck in the format. When everyone is playing midrange with no counters or grave hate I'm not sure how looping Ashen Riders can be beaten.

Dechs always sounds so peeved in all of his posts. Not angry, just peeved. Like he's always got a rock in his shoe or a bee in his bonnet.

He's the dumbest boy in school.

lol, zem, its not like he is too dumb to have made the best EDH primer on this site.

Man you are such a princess sometimes. Let your deeds earn you respect, not your loudmouthing.

Meh. I take tension with most posters for what it is - miscommunication or misunderstanding. Dechs is deliberately confrontational, to the point of hypocrisy. What he needs to prove to himself or others I have no idea, but it's tiring.

And yes, I'm the prettiest girl at the party

Dechs sucks

Happy b-day LP.

Dechs is great.

Red loves the Dechs.
