Members should PM god of cyanide with their bios for inclusion.
Some topics for discussion:
- What do you plan on playing at States/City Champs/FNM?
- What is best to draft in Lorwyn if you want to avoid getting physically beaten by other drafters for running Mer-mill? (The wounds of triple-RAV Dimir mill have been re-opened...)
- Who should replace the man, the myth, the legend that is Joe Torre?
- Rockies over Red Sox in 5!!! (take that, 'chops! )
- Will the Jets get the first round pick in the next draft? Will it suck just as bad as their usual early-first-round choices?
- Can the Giants win the NFC East?
- The start of the hockey and basketball seasons.
- How many times a Knight IS enough, anyway?
Also, enjoy for now the beginnings of our MTGSWiki page. (Note: I'll be updating this soon with a recap of our first thread as time allows.)
It's about damn thyyyme. -Voice from starcraft terran marine
Nice, I feel like the NYC dark knights are official now, we went through an entire thread and now moved onto our second, excellent. Props to Mr. Saunders on the new thread title, I couldn't have done better myself.
@ GoC - I saw a 'Doran Doran' build on tcgplayer.com .....we've been beat to the punch, they stole the name lol
@ Chops - I have seen a few builds of that r/w deck, can I see the one that caught your eye? I'm starting to brew ideas for it, I will need someone to lend me 3x amiptheaters though if I actually decide to go through with it. The deck still seems like it loses to *** and Damnation though, no extirpate either to deal with recurring graveyard trash.
I'm sending out an APV for this friday, I have taken off of work to make sure I will have my deck straight for saturday and most likely will be ran at FNM whatever it may be.....if anyone is around early on friday for testing/playing or want to goto Mark's early let me know!
to all you old school WWE , Get the F out... fans. FInally the ROCK and SOCK connection has made it to the WOrlllllllllld Series!
This one won Starcity, doesnt seem too bad at all. Is it a winner, is this my states Deck,???
ALso can I make it with a Zombies build?
Does the Haakon deck have any hope if its u/b with massive card draw
That deck was a fluke. If that deck can win, any aggro deck with removal can win. Makes me think I can bring back non goblins rakdos. A new deck idea has caught my eye, I need to playtest it though....and no it's not boros.
Hey I was told to post here by Ripe. Im going to be at states at neutral ground and I was wondering if anyone could lend me cards because I have 0 new cards.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Id obv give compensation to anyone who lends to me and if/when i win Ill ship boxes.
I don't know how I lost that draft, I had Brion, Ashling the pilgrim, dolmen gate, hostility and th Elemetal and giant top decker. Oh I was in mono red and had every red card..
Two words: Hurly Burly, son! (OK, that's three. And don't call me son...)
New Title is awesome and im going to update the link in my sig in a few minutes. I made it a lot smaller. I might play GB Midrange I dunno yet it all depends on how much goc can lend me

That was some ninja editing... are you sure you've settled on a deck yet?
Let me know if anyone's going to Mark's early - I may give public transportation out to Valley Stream a shot... worse comes to worse I should make it in time for FNM.

i have most of that (save 2x sower of temptation and possibly 1x jace as of the time i'm writing this), but it's going to depend on my deck... i've settled on an idea, but not a list yet.

there's a good chance i'll be playing something that runs doran doran, the top 8 prize card, so we'll have to see if there will be any overlap. send me your list of needs and i'll let you know.

actually, i'll be ending a lesson near the whitestone bridge at 5:15 on friday, so i can pick you up somewhere. i'd prefer it if you can either make it towards where i will be, or somewhere along the queens/nassau border (union turnpike or hillside ave would be excellent), as the GCP and LIE are parking lots on fridays.

I can head to mark's early on friday as well for testing! Also GoC , did you know that carmine's avatar is from a magic card, and do you know which one?
goc if you needed more of a reason to hate giuliani he even flip flops on baseball teams, he said he's rooting for the sox. Ooh you need to put the old thread link in here also
Some topics for discussion:
- What do you plan on playing at States/City Champs/FNM?
- Who should replace the man, the myth, the legend that is Joe Torre?
Sorry it's been so long since I posted... Sucks that I can't make it to Mark's.. ugh...:-/
I'll probably be playing U/B Faeries... insane with no testing, but what the hell...
I think Mattingly should get the job, so he can finally get the Ring as manager, since he missed out as a player.
Yeah to all - early to Mark's for savage preStates testing. What time? around 3/4ish?
I find it hard to believe Asher would randomly post here looking to borrow cards. Not that I think you're lying or not him, just odd since you have a rep as a MJF+BDM barn/protege and surely they've been testing and drafting nonstop so there's bound to be plenty of cards to be had from that. Then again JJacobsen does the exact same thing, and he's still pretty scrubish - so maybe I have no idea what I am talking about, nevermind...
@ DMX, I don't have the full decklist and cannot divulge certain SB tech publicly, but I'll PM you the shell and we can test/tweak Friday. I should probably be playing it myself, as I am losing faith in my meta-smasher...but if "hardcore" likes it maybe it has a chance. more testing Friday will either confirm or deny this.
@ spliff - good call on bringing back the rock and sock connection just for the world series. I may name my deck that for *****s and giggles. brings me back to 1999...
@ WOTC, thanks for not printing anything remotely playable in black for card draw. That's the only thing holding back my enthusiasm and deck confidence.
@ spliff part 2 - STFU. Angelfire was a morph of "Zur/Firemane" decks and Flores' This Girl states deck. For the record I played many other decks in between smashing face with it. To name a few: MBC, b/r squee control [rogue], teachings-esque, chapin's korlash deck for a few weeks, the LSV's chord deck, then back to angelfire. You're just jealous that I finally clawed my way out of the basement in terms of rating, and have amassed a veritable dozens of dollars in store credit at Mark's. Seriously though, if it were still legal, I would probably still be playing heartbeat combo - thems were some good times.
Next time you post popular opinions, please word them in such a way that they're not infractable. Someone may be widely thought to be the dullest tool in the shed, but you can't publicly call him that, which as a mod I can neither confirm nor deny that I fervently believe he's a tool.
Lets make it official ladies and gents, I will be playing U/B faeries for states, not to copy hernandez, but I've been playtesting, it has some really hard matchups, but the deck is fun. It has the potential to make my opponent pull his/her hair out. Isn't that what magic is all about?

Fun is one thing, but this is state champs...I would rather play a deck with 50-50 matchups across the field then one with some toughies. but that's just me. I personally think UWG and BGW are going to be pretty good, but just don't have the time and resources to acquire all cards and test/tweak it, so I am instead playing a deck I know and love - that is mostly my making, with decent matchups all around [sb to improve the less than stellar matchups].
again, people getting to mark's early? gimme a time and I'll try to be there as early as possible.

Well, I've quickly settled on what to play for FNM. I'm not necessarily playing the same for states though and even though this will be my first such event I want to test some more before I decide what to play. Even 3 or 4pm Friday is good for me - GoC, I'll try to take the train/bus out there, so don't worry about picking me up this week.
So for FNM it's likely Blink.
For States? Still messing aruond with GW, Doran and others (yes, even RW burn... despite Chops' warnings).
R/W dermburn as as suggested on tcg is a little underwhelming. my r/w midrange is a little better. I'll PM you the list since DMX decided it wasn't for him.

Themchops, not to insult your all knowing , infallable, omnipotent, uncanny, and undeniable mtg awareness but your going to have to prove to me that your just that damn good. What I'm trying to say is that maybe , just maybe you'll get my respect if you show me some wins at states, until then, your just a chump , dawg. Just as much of a chump as I am at these events, but that was due to my unpreparedness, making a deck the night before and getting no sleep. Things are going to be different this time around, ... I guarantee it.
I need a deck for States....... UB Haakon doesnt seem to have bite. Mono Green just doesnt seem that Aggro. Help a playa out show me some dex
@CarmineMac YOU WOULD not believe the conspiracy I uncovered on SI.com. THey rated the top basketbal players ever by height. Look at these high/lowlights
7-0 Hakeem The Afreakin Dream!!!! Runner-ups: Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Patrick Ewing.
7-7 Manut Bol Runner Up Gheorghe Muresan
I have barely drafted this format at all bceause Ive been lazy with school and other stuff. We test a lot, but all of it is with proxies or online. You would be surprised by how few cards we all have lol. And yeah, Josh is very scrubby. I couldnt really get cards in time so I will just be playing rg this saturday, but if anyone has 4 thorn of the amethyst or mana barbs that would be greatly appreciated.

Whoa there, slow down. I make terrible play mistakes and get no sleep the night before. You play decks with bad matchups then draw ALL/NO land. My play mistakes have nothing to do with my ability to build decks, test/tweak them, or supply secret lists from my ex-chicago team.
If you t8 states, I'll ... I don't know something drastic and crazy. for certain.

I'm playing my rogue b/r control. there's doran, teachings, and gw aggro. everything else in "unproven" - so play something you feel comfortable with and go smash face.
I don't know abut that... there's a sect of teachings decks coming out now eschewing the namesake card for just black/blue good stuffs. counter/draw/kill essentially. faeires are like merfolk - a great rogue choice for say FNM, but not competitive enough or resilient enough to take on the big boys. just my $.02 though - I could be proven wrong once decklists are posted for Champs.
I am signing off for the night, but tomorrow let's hammer out who's coming early to Mark's to get in some testing/trading/borrowing - it needs to be at least 4 of us or it's not really worth it to test.

goc if you needed more of a reason to hate giuliani he even flip flops on baseball teams, he said he's rooting for the sox. Ooh you need to put the old thread link in here also
old link added. as far as giuliani, yeah, he's a stone cold punk for rooting sox over rox... the only times i've ever rooted for the sox are: '86 series vs. mets because i needed to piss off all my met-fan friends, and any time their winning improves the yanks' chances of making the playoffs/getting into a better matchup in the playoffs. so, yeah, hardly ever. no freaking way i root for the sox here. of course, the rockies are blowing chunks in game 1...
Sorry it's been so long since I posted... Sucks that I can't make it to Mark's.. ugh...:-/
I'll probably be playing U/B Faeries... insane with no testing, but what the hell...
I think Mattingly should get the job, so he can finally get the Ring as manager, since he missed out as a player.
good to hear from you again, omar! i think it almost doesn't matter who gets the job; if a non-mattingly guy (read: girardi or pena) gets it, as soon as the bosses tire of him/donnie says he's ready, the job is his.
Fun is one thing, but this is state champs...I would rather play a deck with 50-50 matchups across the field then one with some toughies. but that's just me.
me, too.
again, people getting to mark's early? gimme a time and I'll try to be there as early as possible.
no dice for me, last minute lesson added and all. i should be there around 5:45 or so, so i can get in a round or two of test.
well, duh... as the guy who has constantly loaned his lame ass decks and watched him repeatedly suckle on the teat of defeat... yeah, scrubalicious indeed.
I couldnt really get cards in time so I will just be playing rg this saturday, but if anyone has 4 thorn of the amethyst or mana barbs that would be greatly appreciated.
well, i certainly will not be using manabarbs... unsure about the thorns (i think i only have 3 anyway, but i can check)... if anyone else wants to help our man here out, feel free...
Whoa there, slow down. I make terrible play mistakes and get no sleep the night before. You play decks with bad matchups then draw ALL/NO land. My play mistakes have nothing to do with my ability to build decks, test/tweak them, or supply secret lists from my ex-chicago team.
If you t8 states, I'll ... I don't know something drastic and crazy. for certain.
i know what you can do if DMX top 8's - become a yankees fan!!! seriously, though, DMX just has to remember one thing - don't play boros! oh, and shuffle better...

@ DMX, I don't have the full decklist and cannot divulge certain SB tech publicly, but I'll PM you the shell and we can test/tweak Friday. I should probably be playing it myself, as I am losing faith in my meta-smasher...but if "hardcore" likes it maybe it has a chance. more testing Friday will either confirm or deny this.
@ spliff - good call on bringing back the rock and sock connection just for the world series. I may name my deck that for *****s and giggles. brings me back to 1999...
@ WOTC, thanks for not printing anything remotely playable in black for card draw. That's the only thing holding back my enthusiasm and deck confidence.
@ spliff part 2 - STFU. Angelfire was a morph of "Zur/Firemane" decks and Flores' This Girl states deck. For the record I played many other decks in between smashing face with it. To name a few: MBC, b/r squee control [rogue], teachings-esque, chapin's korlash deck for a few weeks, the LSV's chord deck, then back to angelfire. You're just jealous that I finally clawed my way out of the basement in terms of rating, and have amassed a veritable dozens of dollars in store credit at Mark's. Seriously though, if it were still legal, I would probably still be playing heartbeat combo - thems were some good times.
@me - bedtime. goodnight ladies.
decks:
EDH - Riku, Xiahou, Konda, Azusa
modern - Past in Flames, Onmi-show
vintage - Drains, Oath

Fun is one thing, but this is state champs...I would rather play a deck with 50-50 matchups across the field then one with some toughies. but that's just me. I personally think UWG and BGW are going to be pretty good, but just don't have the time and resources to acquire all cards and test/tweak it, so I am instead playing a deck I know and love - that is mostly my making, with decent matchups all around [sb to improve the less than stellar matchups].
again, people getting to mark's early? gimme a time and I'll try to be there as early as possible.

So for FNM it's likely Blink.
For States? Still messing aruond with GW, Doran and others (yes, even RW burn... despite Chops' warnings).

@CarmineMac YOU WOULD not believe the conspiracy I uncovered on SI.com. THey rated the top basketbal players ever by height. Look at these high/lowlights
7-0 Hakeem The Afreakin Dream!!!! Runner-ups: Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Patrick Ewing.
7-7 Manut Bol Runner Up Gheorghe Muresan
Apparently these men did not play enough Hangtime

That's crap! Bol is a lanky dufus! They obviously don't know about Presence of Gheorghe.
@all: faeries sound pretty good to me
Whoa there, slow down. I make terrible play mistakes and get no sleep the night before. You play decks with bad matchups then draw ALL/NO land. My play mistakes have nothing to do with my ability to build decks, test/tweak them, or supply secret lists from my ex-chicago team.
If you t8 states, I'll ... I don't know something drastic and crazy. for certain.
I'm playing my rogue b/r control. there's doran, teachings, and gw aggro. everything else in "unproven" - so play something you feel comfortable with and go smash face.
I don't know abut that... there's a sect of teachings decks coming out now eschewing the namesake card for just black/blue good stuffs. counter/draw/kill essentially. faeires are like merfolk - a great rogue choice for say FNM, but not competitive enough or resilient enough to take on the big boys. just my $.02 though - I could be proven wrong once decklists are posted for Champs.
I am signing off for the night, but tomorrow let's hammer out who's coming early to Mark's to get in some testing/trading/borrowing - it needs to be at least 4 of us or it's not really worth it to test.

i knew it was from a card, just not which one (thanks, ripe!
old link added. as far as giuliani, yeah, he's a stone cold punk for rooting sox over rox... the only times i've ever rooted for the sox are: '86 series vs. mets because i needed to piss off all my met-fan friends, and any time their winning improves the yanks' chances of making the playoffs/getting into a better matchup in the playoffs. so, yeah, hardly ever. no freaking way i root for the sox here. of course, the rockies are blowing chunks in game 1...
good to hear from you again, omar! i think it almost doesn't matter who gets the job; if a non-mattingly guy (read: girardi or pena) gets it, as soon as the bosses tire of him/donnie says he's ready, the job is his.
me, too.
no dice for me, last minute lesson added and all. i should be there around 5:45 or so, so i can get in a round or two of test.
no problem, bro.
well, duh... as the guy who has constantly loaned his lame ass decks and watched him repeatedly suckle on the teat of defeat... yeah, scrubalicious indeed.
well, i certainly will not be using manabarbs... unsure about the thorns (i think i only have 3 anyway, but i can check)... if anyone else wants to help our man here out, feel free...
i know what you can do if DMX top 8's - become a yankees fan!!!
