You activate the ability on Undercity Informer, which puts it on the stack, then the leaves the battlefield trigger of Fiend Hunter goes on the stack and will resolve before you mill.
Your opponent is correct. When a player leaves the game for any reason, they take all cards they own with them.
Can you imagine someone steals one of your cards, then kills you, but the game takes another 2 hours or so (casual edh for example). That would mean you can't jump into another game until that creature dies or the game ends? not very fun.
I've played at my fair share of LGS and part of what keeps my loyalty is how they treat my wife and I are both present. Most places are fine, but one place I remember they failed hard. She'd ask a question, and the guys at the shop would look at me and answer.
Another selling point for me, is if the staff are willing to work with me on pricing or how they handle when I have an odd request. My current local shop doesn't do an amazing job at the pricing when it comes to pre-sales, but when selling singles, they're pretty good and are willing to go the extra step to make me feel like I got a deal (even if I didn't).
Marknut, what seems to have happened, is he wasn't paired for round 1, then the TO paired him against another player who wasn't paired. Then after winning round 1, the reporter dropped him, and when this was noticed, he was paired against a 0-1 player. So the reporter sees him as 1-1 (getting a loss for missing round 1). This means the reporter sees him as 3-1 when he should have been 4-0.
There is no reason for the TO to admit he knows the player was 4-0 and use "level of competition" as a reason not to pay out. In fact this never should got this far. In round 1, a repair should have been done to get the 4 players who were left off the roster into the round. Bad form on the TO and I would be finding a new store to give my money too.
No you cannot put a card on top of your library as a reminder. you can use a die, token of some sort (as long as it doesn't cover the library entirely).
apparently it works? I guess 6 board sweepers, life gain, and big beaters aren't enough? *shrugs* I watched a "Traditional" MBC deck get smashed on the scg feed...
Not sure what more you'd want from a deck besides wins...
Today, I went 3-1 with Black Market version of mbc.
I don't understand why so many people are hating on the Wellsprings and Trading Post. Yes, its true, you don't get any extra cards until you sac it some how, but when you do, the amount of ca you generate is insane.
Against the meta, which is more aggro, your opponent can't just play 1 threat at a time, and hope to out race you.
Surgical Extraction, Nihil Spellbomb, Memoricide, Grafdigger's Cage. We have a ton of answers to Undying. and doubling up on the removal isn't so bad when you consider that your mutilates aren't just killing the undying critters.
So, I guess you'd call my deck a "Black Market" style deck and I've been having good results with it thus far.
Last FNM I went 3-0-1 with it (as I posted in the other thread) and in testing this week, I've only lost twice, both being due to bad draws/god draws for my opponent.
There you have it. I've been tuning this list, but I'm still not sold on the SB yet. I'm searching for something to really push the Delver Matchup more in my favor. Every aggro deck just folds to the 6 sweepers. I don't see much in the way of Grixis/Esper Control either online or in my lgs, so I'm not sure how that works out.
Niche: Your on the Inkmoth plan I see. Nothing wrong with that. I run it too, and I have found it very nice vs Sword of War and Peace. Let them gain life, keep yourself stable, and focus on getting swamps down for 1 swing kill. I personally don't like Karn even though I'm running more of a ramp list with 4 solemns and 4 talismans. I just found that I'd rather play wurmcoil engine and try to draw out any counters my opponent may have.
Vicious: I guess that depends entirely on what discard spell we're talking about. I've been toying with the idea of a 1of Wit's End or Monomania in the sb for the control match up. Monomania can resolve turn 4, where Wit's End is turn 5 or 6, but vs control decks, these seems to be the pivitol turns. Grixis Control is known to tap out turn 5 or 6 and Esper wants to land Gideon or Tamiyo asap.
Niche, yes. I think the Satchel is very under rated in MBC. 2 of it's abilities are exectly what we need from it. Free ramp and life gain to stall. Those decks running both Mutilate and BSZ are very swamp hungry, and any way that we can cheat swamps into play to make those 2 spells more powerful, I'm all for.
