dismember is in the MD of quite a few t8 decks, maybe not a 4x but even decks not running black (UW blade) are running dismember MD. I can see how you would say its not as efficient as some of the other removal available right now but it is DEFINITELY not unplayable. :p:o:D:tongue::cool::rolleyes::mad::-/:p;):embarrass::embarrass::cool2::apirate::teach::hifive::smileup:
also, i like smilie faces.
They are called emoticons. Lets get it right people. ;-)
Mikey - Like sphere, and ratchet, and tumble mag and thrumming bird and even shriekhorn? Seems interesting... grand architect??
Crazy ruling (got this one wrong): If you put a pacifism directly on the battlefield with a card like Genesis Wave, you can enchant a Shroud creature with it? Looks like we have a new way to deal with Thrun, lol.
Tom, just read your article. Well written. Your success is all the more impressive in light of your personal tragedy.
Good times at Marks last night even though I didn't stick around long, you guys are all awesome.
I have 4 Tezz, and want to use him, someone drop a cool list on me. Maybe even a crazy tezz pod list?
Ugh so I love my new white weenie deck but by god does it get destroyed by DOJ/Slagstorm/BSZ, any idea's? I think I might main board two or three negates and take out my two dismembers, has dismember fallen to be a sideboard card?
But damn... Even extended got bannings.. Isn't extended dead?
I think that is the whole point. They are trying to make it undead by banning the cards that make it standard greatest hits and diversifying the format.
I mean... I'd rather have something like Garruk Relenteless with micro text than a double face card... At least that's how I feel about it.
Meh, I think its an overreaction. There are 15 of them, thats it. No biggie. Plus , everyone sleeves their constructed decks, so its just a draft issue. Doesn't really bother me.
Well the plainswalker points is updated(its top 100 matter right?)... I'm a little confused as to how I only have 42 plainswalker points... Yet I've been playing fnm for about 2 and a half months straight now.. I've 4-0'd at least 5 times... So Shouldn't I have more points?
Some people have 90 points and I'm confusedXD... Idk how the hell these plainswalker points work...
Whats really important is competitive points, not FNM points. I think FNM points are just used for invites to some kind of FNM championship, but competitive points are what are used to determine byes and things of that nature.
Anyway, The new competitive points season started on 8/29 and the FNM season started on 9/5, so you shouldn't have that many points yet.
That is the link to the Mike Turian article, it has good info.
I have 72 competitive and 33 FNM. Also remember, you haven't been staying for draft, that is an additional opportunity to earn BOTH competitive and FNM points.
Anyone please feel free to correct me if I am wrong about anything.
Wow, you weren't joking about that dude I played at 3-0 last friday. He's #1 in NY in FNM points!
EDIT - If you look at each event (you can expand them on the list) it shows who you played and how many of each type of points you earned. You can figure out exactly how you are at the total you are at.
I'm looking for a playset of the Green/White SOM lands. As always, I have very little (but some) standard stuff, and lots of modern/legacy stuff.
PM me or post here if you have any interest.
Thanks so much! I don't have friends that play paper magic, and I have so few standard cards, so this rotation is going to be rough on me, so again, in advance, thanks!
So wait... Now the top 100 fnm players will be invited to this big tournament that wizards are making in 2012?? Thanks for making fnm cut throat instead of fun..
The bye's for gps thing sounds fun and all... I wouldn't mind getting a bye and not having to have a 1850 rating or something like that.. Although getting to 1850 makes me feel like I worked harder of the bye rather than just played a bunch of magic...
Also now its like... Making the pt isn't gonna mean as much as it used to... Someone who played in like 10-15 events a week between a ptq or fnm or starcity events or a bunch of casual games can make the pt? Now they have taken almost all the skill out... Yes you can make it there faster than someone because you are better and you win more...
But now you can just play in a ton of casual stuff and make it.. This sounds stupid to me..
Edit: Holy Crap, check this guy out...
Laboratory Maniac 2U
Creature - Human Wizard
If you would draw a card with no cards left in your library.. You win the game instead.
2/2
I don't think that is how it works. There are different kinds of points you can earn. Only "competitive" points or whatever they are called, go towards Pro Tour, unless I'm mistaken.
Ya, that blue dude is sick. Leveler anyone?
EDIT - I like this guy the just spoiled
WW3 - Flying and as long as you control a human it has hexproof and indestructible - 5/3 Angel. Pretty damn good with the guy Flores spoiled today.

I don't know your list, but, Doomed Traveler maybe?
I just know that he's pretty sick with Gitaxian.
It looks like its going to be reanimator. Is that the thing you are talking about?
PS - If anyone needs a couple of Entombs, I'm your man.

Also I was upstate helping my buddy move, and we went to check out the local place that runs events and I grabbed 7 packs for 25 bucks on a lark.
4 MB's and 3 M12's.
Pulled a Tezz and a Jace, go me!
EDIT - Hey Tom, pretty sweet that Rietzl called his Philly matches against you "brutal" in his tourney report

I'm surprised they didn't unban visions.

I got points for constructed, but not for draft. Maybe because it ended after midnight?
