So in half an hour I threw together a Narset deck for league tonight. Holy heck she is stupid good. Like to the point where I have no desire to play the deck again.
redthirst is redthirst, fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse. He was the leader of the Fires of Salvation, the only clan I'm aware of to get modded off the forums so hard they made their own forums.
Degenerate? Sure. Loudmouth? You bet. Law abiding? No ****ing way.
i honestly dont see it. i could be horribly wrong, since people are even going as far as crying out for her banning...
maybe edh in my main group is just a different kind of monster than the rest of the world. one where narset cannot hang.
Well I'm not serious about her being broken, which is why I mused about it here rather than the BL thread. I'm in a league, where the competition level is not as high. And I was also facing a non zero number of precons that people had after the weekend. Speaking of, I need to start running Hex Parasite again.

That's why I'm not even going to bother building her. When she was first spoiled, I was pretty excited, and started putting together a list in my head. Then I realized how repetitively it would play, how unfun it would be to play against after the first couple times, and how quickly I'd get bored to tears with her.
One guy in the meta has a Narset deck which is his go-to deck right now, and I'll be very happy when he finally tires of it. Everyone else is quite tired of it, at least one guy has built a deck specifically to mess with it, and I've added extra tuck effects to some of my decks. I don't think she deserves banning or anything like that, but she's kinda broken in a casual-to-semi-competitive metagame.
After the 5th combat step it got boring and I was wishing it to just end. I actually vowed to never play the deck again after last night before the first game was over.

I really wanted to build her when she was first spoiled but I quickly realized that this was about the only reasonable way to build her and it looked not fun. I really love the color combo but she actually feels sort of focused and not fun in how she should play.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
But on a more unrelated note: I decided to play battlecruiser with my current meta after they got mad at me for having too obscure commanders and unknown combos. results are in and they hate me for it. I guess no one likes avatar of slaughter effects with Mr. Ogre... Who knew...? So they stopped complaining finally so I'm okay to continue building Naya Land-Storm. yay!
Anyone else out there watching Parasyte -the maxim-? I sort of assumed it would fall off and become predictable or boring by now but somehow it has kept me fairly excited and it feels like it keeps changing at a good pace.

Gotta drive down to Kentucky tomorrow to set up a new rig. 12 hour round trip, but I guess it gets me out of doing anything else tomorrow.

Which is a good thing
He said He actually has 10 students atm, which is more than he'd want. He's turned down applicants already.
But he'd make an exception for me due to my exceptional performance.
Good day.

I will probably never make the deck, but w/e.
Yeah I heard she was seeing Legacy play. If I ever built her again it would be something random like group hug.

Why? Magic cards are a better investment and more likely to retain their price.

First day of the lockout period ending. We have a followup offering on the 18th so our company stock will probably increase then.

I love That Witch!
I made an EDH deck based of thoughtpicker witch psychic surgery and Circu, Dimir Lobotomist and cantrips
Huh, maybe I should add her to my cube.
