This thread is for people in the MTGS community to coordinate times for play testing on Cockatrice. If you want to find someone to play with, but don't want it to be some random person on Cockatrice, post in this thread so others in the community can get in touch with you for a match. Not only will this cut down on the riffraff of Cockatrice, but it will also help bring the MTGS community together. If you're looking for someone to play against, please post the following information:
Cockatrice name
Goal (testing x deck, testing against x deck, etc...)
Time you will be available

You can't always win, and just because you lose doesn't mean you played badly.
Even if you lose, it is important to remain confident in your ability to make good plays and decisions. Lose that and you are truly lost.
Testing is great, and the better the testing is, the better off you'll be.
It is impossible to tilt and play well.
It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose.
username naughtay... im usually free after 1930 EST every night... testing merfolk and budget gruul zoo... because those are the only modern decks i have lol
And didn't Lantern start a thread like this in the Modern Community Sub-Forum??

Be a lemming hunter. Don't be a lemming. Really, all you had to do was explain to him the popularity metric, not give him the lemming hunter manifesto...

You're right. I never look in that subforum and had no idea. I'll still be around for today.
I am going to be around for most of the day. Looking to get some more testing in with GW Hatebears. I've got a few more games I want to get in with the list I've been playing, and I made some adjustments with a new list that I would like to test as well.
DOLZero
Test GW Hatebears vs known big dogs in the format: Twin, Zoo, Pod, Jund, Fae, etc...
Should be on and off all day
PM me on here or on Cockatrice
I'll be connected for a while, if anyone needs a punching bag for their decks then I've got my Boros pile that I personally could afford to get in more practice with so feel free to ping me via 'Trice.
We just had a rockin 4 Man Round Robin tournament with myself, Pyro, Lantern and Badd B. Looks like we are going to setup another one soon. Next tournament is either going to be another 4 Man Round Robin, an 8 Man Single Elim, or an 8 Round Swiss with cut to top 4. Get at me on Cockatrice if you want to join.
Here are the results of both tournaments from today. I am going to be taking off Sundays from now on, and if people are interested this can become a regular thing. Next Sunday is a no go, as I will be playing in a 5K event, but after that I am game. Just need interested people.

Gonna be testing Wolf Run some more tonight probably. I've added black for better removal and being able to Primal Command for Olivia Voldaren instead of Polukranos. Should be much better now.
I'm online randomly, but often. PM me if you can play at a reasonable pace, and let me know you're from MTGS
Pyro
I play many decks, but my favorite two right now are UWR Waffles and Eternal Ruse. I have an extensive collection and consider myself to be a more than competent pilot with most decks, so if you ever need to test against something, hit me up.
Available randomly, but online fairly often.
PM me here or on Cockatrice. If I don't respond to a Cockatrice PM withing 10 minutes and I'm not in a game, I'm probably AFK, as my computer doesn't sleep if it is plugged in (symptom of watching a lot of movies on it).

So in anticipation of being snowed in tomorrow while somehow miraculously maintaining an internet connection I'm going to be idling on Trice for a while.

I'm testing UB Fae right now. Pet deck of the moment BW Tokens with Bitteblossom. I'm also competent with Pod decks (more melira than Kiki) and play storm in legacy (so modern UR storm couldn't be a problem).

Hi guys. I'm really new to Modern and want experience in all types of decks, just so I can prepare myself for everything. My IGN is MrBunni. Feel free to contact me any time. I'm usually totally free on Sunday/Monday. Otherwise early morning is usually when I play.
It depends on how many people we can get. If you message me on Cockatrice and tell me you're from MTGS, I will add you to my buddy list. Right now I only have one person from my buddy list online though so we would have to get at least one more.
EDIT: And I need about 25 minutes or so before I can start.

I would be up for hosting some 4-8 man tournaments as well. The last time we did this on a Sunday we fired off a couple of mini events.

Is it being buddylocked again, though?
