  • posted a message on Return to Ravnica is gonna be...not so good, for Mono Deck Players huh....
    Two colored decks really aren't usually that hard to understand. I don't see how there being more than one colors makes it harder for you to focus on your plan. It's like saying that you HAVE to kill your opponent with only one color of card. It doesn't make any sense. Fetch lands, whether bi-color such as Windswept Heath or Verdant Catacombs or any color basic fetchers like Terramorphic Expanse are great assets to multicolored decks and very simple, as are dual lands that produce multiple colors in exchange for coming into play tapped (under conditions) and what not.

    I think I've heard somewhere that the new client is supposed to have planechase, but I haven't heard any word of it for the current client. I could be wrong though.

    There's no real way to avoid random generation and draw. Sometimes you get screwed, sometimes you get flooded, life goes on. There's no sure fire way to ensure that you will draw/not draw land perfectly.

    As much as I love the card, you either just win or are way too far behind that it doesn't matter. I've been able to cast it twice, each time when I had four guys. The first time I was at 2 and copied my opponent's Seraph of Dawn and still managed to get killed. The second time I copied my own Vorstclaw against my opponent's 1-creature board with them at 12 and they just conceded.

    Personally, I think the only thing that will destroy the planet will be when our solar system's sun finally dies and implodes and I haven't heard scientists saying that'll happen anytime soon. This thread has reminded me to make bets with people that the world won't end the day before the supposed end times.

  • posted a message on AVR Salvation Draft #1
    Just one question to begin with. Why would you not splash blue for the Bruna you could have had P3P1? You were already BW and Bruna is pretty powerful even just as a 5/5 vigilant flier. Am I missing something important here or is it simply a matter of preference/needing removal?

    Quote from seanmmatthews
    This was MTGO, so if it didn't change, it has to be right.


    First off, please be aware that just because it happened on MTGO, does not make it right, as computer programs are not in any way infallible. Second of all, it's likely this has nothing to do with rules issues and much more likely it's some kind of glitch/bug that needs to be reported to wizards.

  • posted a message on Best Bot for Bulk Sales?
    I recently sold off a ton of my unwanted draft commons/uncommons to the Lunarbot chain, but they paid at most 0.01 t for a single card to as low as 0.003. Not amazing, but from about 3K or so in junk C/UC I made about 10-12 tickets.

    Just search "Lunarbot" in classifieds and look for the ones matching the zodiac (Rabbit, Monkey, etc) and see if they can give you a decent sum.

  • posted a message on most beautiful lands?
    For me it's between the full art Zendikar lands, the Lorwyn lands, and actually the more "bright and cheerful" of the AVR lands. I prefer my lands alive and full of color.

  • posted a message on Mono black in AVR
    I've been trying to avoid mono black as I've been told I should, but at the same time I squirm every time I pass an Evernight Shade, as they inevitably come back to wreck me later in the draft. That, Blood Artist, and Death Wind seem pretty good to me, but I don't know about the rest.

    I can add that UG Soulbond is a total house.

  • posted a message on Niv-Mizzet kill conditions?
    While it might not be a win condition per se, I like combinining Mindmoil and/or Teferi's Puzzle Box and Archmage Ascension. Screw up everyone else's hands and tutoring with Mindmoil and Puzzle Box while simple retutoring your entire hand with an active Ascension, netting lots of damage and not disrupting your plan. Kills quickly with Niv or Psychosis Crawler.

  • posted a message on Avacyn Card Prices
    Agreed, they should drop once the release events begin this week. Despite coming out after AVR has been on paper for some time and therefore people knowing what is good already, cards around the time of the prerelease events are always high due to those of us paying out the noses for the overpriced events. There are a few cards, however, that have, instead of dropping value since the beginning of the prerelease, GAINED value, so there are some that likely won't drop after they're over.

  • posted a message on BETA, how get in?
    Its not about how much money you spend you know. It whether or not they think you are qualified to test the beta. Try describing more in depth WHY you'd be useful as a beta tester. There's no use stewing over and getting angry about it. If they don't want you for beta, getting pissed isn't going to help. Not to mention its not supposed to be about free packs but testing the client. Keep that in mind.

  • posted a message on GUR Infected Miracle Stompy
    Since Chancellor doesn't do much but be fat and vigilant (and not infectious) and you're playing red, why not Razor Swine instead? Its first strike and infect make it hard to block unless your opponent has an 3/3 or greater. Not to mention its a team crushing blowout with Revenge of the Hunted. Must block and lose half your team and NOT kill the creature? Sucks to be you. If you're stuck on a fatty though, I'd much rather have Craterhoof Behemoth coming down to make my infect guys amazing and possibly lethal for that turn.

    Also, I don't think this deck REALLY needs birds, since it doesn't want to be hardcasting its miracles and if you take the chancellor out its costs run fairly low. Maybe some Apostle's Blessing or something in their place for saving your infect dudes?

    (If keeping the fatty, birds should stay.)
