Really, Rolling Thunder was the winner for a while there. Just happens to be a good unknown card. Though at some point wizards realized that we were fine with not being able to split the damage and just wanted other awesome abilities to be tacked on, like as in demonfire and banefire.
Hey everybody! Sorry I've been gone for so long, first set of finals and then exhausted zombie-state afterward have been occupying my time. On the other hand, apparently I got a 4.0 this semester, so I guess it's worth it.
As AI can attest, I'm more than a little Timmy, and Comet Storm makes me very happy indeed. My Urzatron may have a new favorite X-spell to supercharge!

Good stuff. I rolled 2-0 in round 1 as well. I like being able to read my opponent and know what to expect :).
And for some reason, Venser looks like a female every time I look at your avvy lol.
Good stuff indeed. Grats on your win as well. I'm hoping that everyone finishes rounds in a few days instead of taking the entire week. But judging big group who turned in decks at the last minute and those who didn't submit at all.. eh.. my hope isn't very high.
Edit: :facepalm:-again (only on my part, this time)! It deals X to each of these targets? For six mana you can deal a total of six damage to three different targets? That makes it considerably better, actually. I thought it was dividing it as you choose... I love Comet Storm!
I agree Fenaris, as a resident on the oklahoma/texas border, and since Oklahoma doesnt get jack, im thrilled I can travel south yearly now for big events.
My long desired return to this forum! I got a new charger for my mac, so I can post more frequently, as well, I bought myself a nice new desktop. With one problem: The keyboard isn't compatible, and my mouse isn't being read. I'm still troubleshooting, so it should be up and running in no time at all.
On another, more Magic related note, I built Haakon, and am thinking about building mono-W Test of Endurance. Any thoughts?

I have Deckbuilder's ADD.
I think i would still play fallout over comet storm
For splitting damage, obviously. But the appeal of this card isn't that it gets multiple targets, but that it can hit multiple targets. Otherwise it's an instant speed Blaze, which doesn't seem too bad. I am likely to play 4 Fallouts and maybe 2 of these in Standard-to-come.

Intet says hi.
As in there is no way this isnt going to my little intet edh deck.\
It's an X-spell, though... it's good, but Intent wouldn't be too happy to "cascade" into it, I don't think.

Did a draft the other night at Milton Keynes FNM and got a turn 4 kill I was quite impressed.
T1=Plains, Steppe Lynx
T2=Mountain, Attack with Lynx for 2, Plated Geopede
T3=Plains,Trusty Machete,Equip Lynx,Attack with Lynx and Pede for 7. Ops life total 11
T4=Mountain,Windborne Charge, Attack for 11 with pede and Lynx.
The rest of the event was cancelled to the heavy snow we've had.
Very nice, very nice....aww...
It's too bad it was cancelled. But this definitely proves that Windborne Charge > Mindless Null in draft by a good ☺☺☺☺-ton.

Also, hello and welcome, to any new members that i missed!
the elf will probably see play in elfdrazi, but i don't think comet storm will see much play, it pretty much needs 6+ mana to be ok
You do raise a considerable point, Banefire (the best playable Blaze-effect in the format) doesn't really see any play, and if not Banefire, why Comet Storm (barring Jund-Ramp getting as big as it was, again)?
Quote from pheonixtearz »
is there any specific blade you prefer? or do you mean fencing?
I study anything and everything, I'm paranoid about not being one-dimensional...
My preferred however, is the closest thing to perfection it is possible to achieve: The Japanese long sword (katana). The subtle curve and manner of forging gives it a perfect balance of flexibility for thrusting, and hardness for cutting. I could go into enormous depth, but for all intents and purposes, I'll just leave it at "my favourite sword is the katana :stupid:".
Quote from pt »
personally my favorite sword is a falchion.
What's your reasoning? I suppose it's about as close as the West got to a perfectly versatile sword, but I'm not sold on it.
...sorry if I've offended you, but it is evidently in my nature to do so unintentionally.

I don't exactly like the falchion but swords that are similar to it, i personally own a blade that shares a close resemblance to the falchion, it's like a falchion in almost every way except for the back and the width of the blade, it's thinner than a falchion and the back is curved, but it still has the weight and the style of a falchion so i describe it as such.
i like it because of the weight it has on the tip of the blade, it really feels wonderful to swing it, it's a nice fluid motion, almost as if the blade is swinging itself, the balence of the blade is a little off because of the weight, but it fits my style perfectly.

I'm not offended in the slightest.
Also, i am by no means a swordfighter, i just like swords and i mainly judge them by looks and feel, not on how well they do in actual combat.

Also: Considering fun decks to build for casual in a meta that doesn't change much. ATM, it's a tribal Rogues deck, a tribal Centaurs that sees little play, a R/U Suspend, a black Mortivore Control, a green ramp/stompy, and a Jund deck that is extremely Bomb-y, but not tournament build.

Ejdeha, Gen0, DarknessFalls, and RukarumelFieldJournal all need to be contacted about possibly being portal'ed.
I am also a fan of swords. My favorite blades have to be the Shuanggou or Hook Sword. I just love the way the practitioner moves while using the blades and how the blades are used. I will probably never use one because they take a lot of martial arts skill to be good at them.
Hi everyone. I think its time that I retire from this clan and mtgs as a whole. I don't play magic anymore and I have no intentions of returning. If I ever come back to magic, you guys will know.
Goodbye guys.

In other news, I've won my Round 1 of the MWS T2 tourny (2-0)! :banana::toot::dance:
Love to go into more detail but no deck discussion this early.

Its going into my Wort, the Raidmother EDH deck for sure.
Pretty much. Fallout is just better for killing lots of small dudes.
I also agree that a Rolling Thunder reprint would have been sick.

Congrats to both of you SC and LJ for winning your first round :).
Eh, I'm happier with an instant.
Indeed, congratulations!
EDIT: wait, is comet storm an instant?
That'll happen for an Izzet. No good ever came from white for the good old blue and red.

i just realized i haven't posted here in over a month
anywho, i'm currently in arizona visiting family, and i finally got some internet time so i thought i'd chime in and see how everyone is doing.
mine was fairly boring, the usual exchanging gifts etc.
i actually got bored of that game after a week or two.
the elf will probably see play in elfdrazi, but i don't think comet storm will see much play, it pretty much needs 6+ mana to be ok
is there any specific blade you prefer? or do you mean fencing?
personally my favorite sword is a falchion.
congrats to the both of you!

Not quite. For some reason it almost looked like Venser was wearing some sort of headdress lol.
You do raise a considerable point, Banefire (the best playable Blaze-effect in the format) doesn't really see any play, and if not Banefire, why Comet Storm (barring Jund-Ramp getting as big as it was, again)?

I'm currently torn between a cumulative upkeep deck, using Eon Hub. And a silly little Pest token combo deck. Nuisance Engine + Mycosynth Lattice + Intruder Alarm + Fyndhorn Elder + March of the Machines.
