anyone got a wur list they wanna PM me? trying to tweak mine to beat jund, elves and boros but feel like it's missing something still. the two from worlds were solid but I feel like there's something a little better...anybody wanna share some tech?
Next time you post popular opinions, please word them in such a way that they're not infractable. Someone may be widely thought to be the dullest tool in the shed, but you can't publicly call him that, which as a mod I can neither confirm nor deny that I fervently believe he's a tool.
Do any of you guys have a game boy/GBA/DS for sell/trade-- I don't care if its an old one or what not, I just would like to have something to play on the trains to/from the city. Also interested in any Pokemon/RPG games for said systems
More on to the point:
So if I HAVE to play jund, (its either that or boros without baneslayers or elspeths for the board) do I keep putrid leech and garruk in? Opinions?
Nighthawk is not the optimal choice for MD in jund; neither is charm.
I completely disagree. Nighthawk MD has been fantastic. It is great vs bushwacker/rdw for its ability to lifegain/eat bolts and it has evasion to finish games. i put this in the deck after philly and haven't looked back. it also kills wall of denial, and sphinx of jwar isle. it kills knight of the religuary. it kills nocturnus/bloodwitch.
At philly, I cut the MD terminates for resounding thunders, and was pleased. When the meta shifted to bushwacker + elves, i swapped those out for jund charm. i have been so impressed with it that i can't imagine playing without it. it counters lightning bolt/earthquake, beats crypt crab, beats elves, beats white tokens, beats bushwacker, beats open the vaults, and is just generally good.

i have kept both of these in. i've seen some lists that cut both for borderland ranger and siege gang commander, and i'm not sure its the best play. i'm concerned about losing leach, as it singlehandedly can dominate certain matchups for you.

i was actually blown out by toms jund deck one game because the charm removed 2 of my hellspark elementals from my graveyard
it is very versitile and is quite effective against all types of decks this format as samoht said
also nighthawk is also ver good at stopping the agro red decks and boros

i'm going to try swapping the terminates out of the MD for the charms. it seems like totally the correct call. if i put in nighthawks, though, i might take out the leeches, as it seems that i'm siding them out every match anyway. this might just be a mark's meta call and not much else.

I'm pretty sure Boros doesn't run Hellspark, that is the domain of Red Deck Wins, which I tend to like more than Boros anyway. Getting a pyroclasm against Boros seems fine too though, and Nighthawk helps with the life issue.

Well the list FFFreak just posted on channelfireball.com runs hellspark and earthquake instead of skyfishers and 2 copies of the vanguard. It also drops peaks for terramorphics. Quake seems decent as it gives the deck more options for burning people out and seems fine in the mirror if they dont keep up fetches...which... is probably bad. Rhox War Monk seems to be a house in this format (does anybody have any extras they can bring to Mark's tonight btw), so bant or cascade might be decent. I still have no idea what I'm going to run. My primary options are spread 'em, fog, jund, and boros. After seeing like half of the people at Jim Hanleys last night running jund, spread 'em is looking nice and fun, but seems like it just fails against boros.
Put in the nighthawks but don't take out leeches... I can see where jund charm maindeck is good if people are playing hellsparks in boros... But I prefer kor skyfisher, its just my preference...
I don't know your exact list goc, when I get to ur house later... We'll both look at it.
Edit on jund debate: Every time I hear boros losing to jund, its because they ran out of gas at a... Absurdly early time in the game... If they don't, then boros wins or jund wins by the skin of their teeth... Even if boros runs out gas too early, they still did enough to where they don't need much...
After board its like a 50/50... Jeez, such a coin flip format standard has become. Theres a black president(no I'm not racist, and I think he will actually do a good job.), no one good runs against our mayor, mariah carey almost had nick cannons(WTF!!!!!!!?!?!?!?) baby... What the hell is the world coming to...
If jund drops a thrinax, and you don't have the path, you lose. if jund hits a nighthawk off the BBE, you lose.
If jund gets screwed and does nothing but play blightning on t3, you win.
That's pretty much the way the games go. On the play, its like 75-25 jund. on the draw its 50-50. That to me is getting rolled by a deck. Also, my 1x lavalanche totally blows you out!

It's an interesting list, i still prefer RDW. It is much more to the point, and doesn't give the same amount of time for the opponent to recover.
As far as war monk, i might be able to bring some for you for states, call me if you need them.

At least you top 8td... I swear though, Its so much harder to top 8 champs than anything else cause of the dumb stupid decks people play.
But nice on the top 8 thought.
Although I cooled down a bit from the screw-over I got today... Still pretty pissed about it, but I'll be alright. Not sure if top 8ting champs is so important anyway.
Stop belittling my accomplishment because you didn't do it.

Jim Hanleys (33 st. across from the empire state building) does drafts/t2 on Thursdays so I'm going to be hanging out there if anyone's interested. Also, congrats Samoht...huh huh....what'd I say about the War Monk? Shortstack FTW...woot. I'm sad I ended up not coming out to states, but I was pretty sick on Friday night so I just decided to sleep in and draft at Depot instead.
Does anybody have sungrass prairie, or a hell's thunder for trade? Also, does anybody have some extra wild nacatls that they could bring to Mark's?
So.. wtf is going on lol, heard stuff bout marks and you all went to a new place or something, people going to jail and all good stuff.
won't rehash it all, but we're all back at mark's, except for a certain thief who shall remain nameless (and somewhat homosexual). if you come down to mark's, i'll fill you in.
On another side note: I ****ing hate this game even more... Regionals and ptqs can suck my **** from now till the end of magic... Fnm's Ill play and states... Well, the decks I saw there and possibly might have lost against.... Yeah, screw that, I mean fnm is the same to kind of, but at least its free or is convenient.. Gran prix's are a givin...
I've said it before goc but I have hung on long enough... SCREW MAGIC THE GATHERING... Well not totally because I'll still play fnm, but other than that. SCREW IT TO THE GROUND WHERE DIO SHOULD GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
I'll be available both wednesday and thursday this week (my days off) so if anyone is feelin to chill at their place or mine for mtg or video gaming or whatever I'm totally down just let me know whats up. NYC dark knights.....WHATS UUUUPPPP!
i'm down both nights, mike. we'll do our normal thursday plan if you and the boys are up for it, unless you (and anyone else) want to come out my way either night. i'm open, let me know.
last but certainly not least:
NEW YEARS' EVE PARTY will be on, as usual, down by my house. you all are invited - those who are on my facebook have already received invites. if anyone else is interested, let me know, and i will ship you the details.
