I agree, he definitely should have used Snapcaster on Timely Reinforcements, not DoJ.
These guys just seem generally awful. Frank Harris chooses not to Dissipate BSZ(which would leave him tokens to block Solemn), and then casts DoJ to kill a 1/1 Solemn and a Spellskite..blah. And who needs 5 cat tokens when you can just make 4 and leave 1 mana sitting around for no reason instead.
What else can he return with sun titan though. I think the misplay was flashbacking the day instead of the timely. Terrible. Hed rather kill a 1/1 stromkirk and 3/3 stormblood than letting them live and gain 6 life, have 3 tokens on the field and a snapcaster on board. Gideon would kill koth regardless.
Yeah not flashbacking Timely seemed pretty loose against a deck that can just burn you out. It's not like the Noble and Berserker were cards he should fear with 3 tokens and a Snapcaster able to block.
I call BS on obvious. No way you could have called that (Being a 1 of sideboard not seen game 2). I figured brimstone volley for not killing the gideon. Yeah him not bringing back a creature (IE snapcaster) is probly silly although if you put him on a phoenix and brimstone it's game anyway.
Not much the solar flare could do there at the end honestly. Yes a smarter move should have been snapcaster since he didn't have Dissipate in hand.
This is what separates good control players from bad ones.
The play was to snapcaster into timely, regardless of what the mono red player had in his hand. The titan can wait a turn, the 1 damage extra from titan doesn't make a difference because it will be a 3 turn clock regardless.
And your BS call is BS. Hmm, this red player has been holding on to one card that he can't play with 5 mana and no creatures on the field. I WONDER WHAT IT IS?

To post on this forum you must...
1. Have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
2. Stubbornly argue for at least 1 page of posts.
3. Regurgitate things you read on Starcitygames or Channelfireball.
4. Hate all netdeckers
5. Claim your 2nd place FNM deck broke the format and Delver is not even that good.
6. Tell everybody that MBC is coming back every time a new black card is released.

As I stated a Brimstone Volley... that isn't lethal and waiting for morbid or a creature to sure up the game. Yes he should not have used snapcaster for DoJ, but you saying something in hindsight has nothing to do with what it could have been during the point in which they were playing. Didn't realize you were psychic however, and I will yield to your superior super power.
This putting style after each word is so lame. These announcers should be replaced.
I'm very disappointed at seeing Solar Flare doing so poorly. What is it having such a difficult time beating?

Anything other than itself? Anything that wants to win before turn 10? The deck is greedy and requires a realllly good draw or late games to win.

Everything it seems like. Just watching it get beat across the board by a bunch of different decks. Looks like RDW and UB control have the best match ups versus Solar Flare from what I have seen so far on the live feed.

Some people say it just isn't that good; ie. can't beat quick aggro. Personally I haven't tested enough to say.

Flare definitely can struggle against Red because it's so fast, especially game 1 without Timely. It should be favored against any non-aggro deck though, because late game with Flare is redonkulous barring enemy Surgical Extractions.
I'm really tired of "best within" and "-style". I understand these people don't have any schooling in casting but at this point the mute goes on

Yeah, need to write emails to SCG to have them not be commentators together ever again. Flores just seems to be incredibly annoying whenever he commentates.
Flores sadly is starting to remind me of how madden was before he retired....

Don't you see that the whole aim of Moderators is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make infractions literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten.
I feel that all the solar flare players were bad. And I dont know why mental misstep isnt seing play? The card has been house against aggro in my playtesting.

MM is a dead card against a decent number of decks/cards. It was only seeing legacy play because of how many 1 drops were played in the format. A MM can sit in your hand all game and possibly never even see a chance to play it.

Thank you from everyone who is watching.

kibler draws- "why didn't he get his wolf?"
sooooo bad
The funny thing is that even if Mayor of Avabruck's wolf generation triggered at the upkeep, it wouldn't even matter. It's a mandatory trigger.

Not to mention it is quite vulnerable to graveyard exiling, including a 1 mana artifact which cantrips in black.
Uh why M.Flores?
