MTG Salvation

So, I keep getting mtgo crashes....

I have done the uninstall under control panel, then %appdata% to delete anything with wizards, then the rundll32 clear cache thing.

It just keeps happening and I do not know what to do. I also made sure to restart computer multiple times.. Any help?

Thanks a ton for this deck idea!!

I am running the original list, but I do have some cards at hand that I could use.

I have :

• 3 Liliana of the Veil
  
• 1 Abrupt decay
  
• 4 Putrefy

Would these be worth it in the main deck? If so, what could I cut? Thanks

Hey!

Okay so I have not played seriously in a long time. I am looking to get into a deck that is not overly complicated, competitive, and fairly budget.

What I have currently:

• 3 Liliana of the Veil
  
• 4 Abrupt Decay
  
• 1 Scavenging Ooze
  
• 2 Death's Shadow
  
• 1 Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon
  
• 3 Abrupt Decay
  
• 1 Runechanter's Pike
  
• 4 Inkmoth Nexus
  
• 2 Blood crypt
  
• 4 overgrown tomb
  
• 2 godless shrine
  
• 2 temple garden

Now, I do know that I have some of the makings for a mono black infect deck. Would this be a good option to get started with? Or should I just use the 3 Liliana of the veil as trade fodder to make a perfectly good deck? I would rather have a "complete" deck, than one with a bunch of crap and 6 good cards.

My play style is pretty open. I have done a lot of aggro and board control/midrange. Again, I am looking for something that is forgiving to get me started.
Budget: As low as possible. 50.00 maybe on what I have in trades
FNM worthy

Wow thank you so much man!! I had been following your non budget version. I have exactly 100.00 in credit at an online shop too:) If you don't mind, where would you want to make changes to the deck first when the budget allows? I was thinking the lands?

You need to re-install or repair your installation is now corrupt. Have fun!

I have uninstalled 2 times. How do you run the repair? thanks

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, the box does go away after about 10 seconds or so. Then, nothing.

So I reinstalled and I was able to get to the log in screen. After I put in my password, mtgo starts to load cards, and then crashes. Sigh.

Running windows 8

I checked the servers, and I checked the website and I have not found anything.

This is what I get when I click on the icon to load it:

verifying application requirements. This may take a few minutes.

Anyone have any ideas?

I like Thragtusk over Deathrite Shaman.

Thragtusk
etb 5 live
3/3 survives your own board wipes
huge threat

If you are not running cremate, I can see why you would like to run shaman. Although, I would rather run a card that cycles and is instant to make it harder for people to play around.

They are both good cards, but in this deck Thragtusk wins for me.

Quote from badjuju

Yeah, I meant, the difference is, this one actually performed well at a major event. Just thought it might be good to consider that list as a launching point for further development (as opposed to arguing over Thragtusk's obvious inclusion).

Ya I don't understand the Thragtusk debate.... This is actually the 2nd time this list was won a descent size tourney. If, you consider an online ptq big. I agree that this is the list that is most effective that has been talked about on this primer. The biggest question is probably whether or not to mb/sb Deadbridge Chant .

Did you guys see the old-school Rock deck that Top 8'd the Nashville Open yesterday?

http://www.starcitygames.com/events/coverage/deck_tech_the_rock_with_robbie.html

Its just about the same deck that we have been testing in this forum...:)

Sounds like the rock deck that has gained popularity on modo. Look at some of the top lists. Frank lepore also did a deck tech on it a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the info guys!

I figured summoner was okay since it was so late in the game, I should have a green source at that point.

Oh sorry, I am running u/w + green.

I have a very even uw split. So I am running 7/7/4. I also have one simic cluestone.
