@TheDeadManX Just had to offer my congrats also for making Top 8... Makes me feel even more like a punk for chickening out on Faeries and going with Doran... well, live and learn!
next clan contest is card cycle creation; we're just working out what type(s) of cycles will be used. the choices are:
- vertical cycle in one color (common/uncommon/rare)
- five-color cycle (any rarity)
- both cycles (8 cards total)
How about a cycle that triggers off other card types that are played?
example
Burren, the Blacksmith
1RR
Legendary Creature - Human Rogue Warrior
2/3
Whenever an opponent plays an artifact or artifact's activated ability, [CARDNAME] deals 3 damage to that opponent.
"If you cast aside that which I provide, then you are truly a fool!"
I think a 3 card set similar to what brought Spirit of the Night into play would be cool but do a different spin on it. Now I know it was 4 card set since Urborg PantherBreathstealerFeral Shadow were involved, but this made me remember 4 cards from Mirage that should have been forgotten. I liked it because although they all were linked and SOTN was overcosted, they still could function independently but were naturally drawn together. Maybe in the spirit of Common,Uncommon,Rare, we could have them build on each other, like the common suspends and when resolves brings in the uncommon, and then the rare.
It could been seen a few ways. Just a suggestion or 2 to get our minds working
For those of you who saw me at FNM last time you probably saw me crash and burn. Needless to say, i need a little assistance building a deck.
Heres the deck I just ran:
12x Forest
5x Swamp
1x Plains
1x each of : Doran, Nath, Epic Proportions, Timber Protector, Oakgnarl Warrior, Shimmering grotto, Terramorphic expanse, Wanderer's Twig,
Vigor, Seedguide Ash, Changeling Titan, Lace with Moonglove, Leaf Guilder, Briarhorn, Rootgrapple, Lys Alana Scarblade, Elvish Branchbender,
Nameless Inversion
2x of: Gilt-Leaf Ambush, Vivid Grove, Lys Alana Huntmaster, Fistfull of Force
3x of: Elvish Harbinger, Imperious Perfect, Cloudcrown Oak, Sudden Death
Add? Subtract? input would be very helpfull

Brady , glad you could make it here as well, hardcore I know your lurking, post up and join, this is a good place to setup for drafting too. I'm bored at work right now and just started playing dracula X chronicles for the psp, may be the hardest castlevania yet....but anyways back to mtg. Does anyone have any foils that were in my faerie build up for trade?
Wait til you get to the "gauntlet of bosses." In hindsight though, it wasn't that hard. I completed it with 30% -- I guess I have some more work to do...
@all we have everyone here pretty much, can now boycott Mark's comics at will! FNM at DEADMAN's house, hear he is putting in vending machines and will be selling singles from his binders. Herbal Remedies are also available to those 21 and over with proper ID..
Looks like everyone's pulling together. Nothing like a Top 8 to Rally the Troops.
@ carminemac - the artwork I spoke of a week or so ago "the brute" I bet you remember this art now hahahaha , but click on the legends art of that card, that was the one I was referring to. I love how it's an enchantment too, 'the brute' it sounds like it should be a creature
Martyr has to get spellstutter studda, studda studda
@Card Reaper - Your deck lacks focus, as a general rule of mtg, the best decks revolve around a theme, basically a way to kill someone. It seems like you have a bunch of cards just in the deck as filler. Do you not have many cards? I mean even some key commons / uncommons would help you make a much better more solid deck, GoC should be able to help you out and even myself with that, but first you have to think of how you want to kill someone. Is it with fast aggro creatures? Is it with alot of removal and a few creatures? Is it not with creatures at all.....I see since you have alot of green cards I'm guessing it's killing with creatures, why not focus on making an efficient elves deck...
PS - I like briarhorn alot, it's cost effective plus it's beats and flash is sick, almost tournament quality.....and UHHH is he a treefolk??
Mascioli! Nice seeing you here dude, and excellent about the friday pickup, how far did you go in the T8? Did you take out that clown with the black/green elves deck that Flores was making love to , that beat me?
I eneded up making the finals and losing to Jim Davis (who T8ed a GP) with teachings because I got stuck on three land game 1, then two land game 2. I did beat Tim with g/b elves in the T4 even though I punted game 1 of the match.
opponents' win percentages and tiebreaker points. 8th-4th place all lost the first round of t8, so it would depend on draws and points (fun math stuff). Just means his record and opponents records were better than 8-6th place finishers.
Once again, congrats DMX and dieplstks on high finishes.
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.

It must be something in the Air at Marks Comics, either its Chris's killer customer service or Marks Low Low prices and give aways
5th place, heh, that ain't bad, look how far I make it when I actually don't get mana screwed. Themchops , props on pointing me on the new direction for shuffling technique, it got me to that top 8. As far as Mark's is concerned, I like Mark, but his prices are just clownish and he refuses help. As far as "chris behind the counter" is concerned , that guy is a load. He can't wait to go home and beat to some weak animae and clean up with his WoW batchrag. Leave the store open for 10 minutes past the end of FNM chris, the rag ain't goin nowhere haha , and theres some kind words from your, people's champ.

I would really prefer a treefolk deck and just brutally smash face and pump creatures but i lack the treefolk to do it. i guess the next best thing is to make a good elf deck. i'll put one together and post the decklist later. thnx:)

@ Spliff - Just to let you know, the guys at High Light studios are seemingly efficient. I'm up to 2nd in their que already, however their art/ability has not been tested so I will be the ginea pig. If mine gets done before yours and it's nice, I might reccomend these guys as they are fresh on the scene, it's great to hold out for Le Gambit, the original playa hata , but it seems like his and the aether sig shops days are numbered.
Any of you guys have.... River of Tears, Underground Rivers or Finkels i can borrow for tomorrow night at marks? I might actually play if i can get out of work in time.
Biscuit, you really from LB? I lived out there for a year or so, what a B buster it is getting to and from there. One road in, one road out. As of now I have the finkels up to borrow for tomorrow as well as 1x river , which is also up for trade, but we all know where the other 4 are.
Long beach blows.... except for the bars that are every block and the hoes
Yeah that'd cool if you got those.... i'm thinkin of playin the deck mascioli top 8ed with. Seems like a fun deck to play and it bashes
Double-posting, let alone triple posting, is against the rules. One of your posts was also very spammy, and could have easily been edited to add content to. Warning issued.
unfortunately, if you face up against me, it's curtains son, fae has such a good match vs u/b manequin....but anyways, just a tip to you , just use the 'edit' post, to edit your last post to add more comments in so you dont have to open up a new one everytime, i mean unless you really want to, thats cool too heh, but yeah i got those for you to borrow for tomorrah given I can get out of work ontime also, which I should.
Why do people insist on making the deck worst (not just adding thoughtseize, but adding things like Urborg, Academy Ruins, etc, etc)? We obv tested thoughtseize and didn't inclkude them and given the very high rate of success by almost everyone who piloted the deck we just might be right. Might be because they're (seize) not that good in the current meta, :(.
Maybe not so good in mannequin, but I know it's killer in mine, the tempo based disabling, disarming and destroying are what makes it tick. Thoughtseize is an essential part of it, getting early information, and rip a key card out. It's just that damn good for me. Also what's your opinion on a draft 2nite dieplstks?
I'm in the city until 10 tonight for school, sorry. I'll def be up for a draft tomorrow though (can't play in FNM as my ratings so close to a second bye at constructed GPs (1896)).
All right, I'm in the city right now, getting out of work shortly. I would be down for drafting post Mark's tomorrow diepls, also will you be stopping in w/ the sower tomorrow?
