MTG Salvation

Quote from Necropsy

To a store, but I really wanted a box And in New Zealand our prices are </snip>.



I would, but once I can acquire some Hydras, I can get another 2 Bonfires for virtually nothing (100% Vorthos player only interested in Hydras, doesn't care about rarity or value) and I want a box of RTR to get shocks and I wanna build Jund beatdown control (I guess you'd call it!)

Infraction for inappropriate use of the word "retarded" - LN

ah new zealand.
where the women are men and the sheep are nervous.
but yeah that doesn't seem all that bad considering you're out of murica and trading into a store.

this new demon seems pretty cool times. I think he'll be better when Slip rotates because they can't sack a souls token and then blow up the demon.
I don't know, he seems bad against L. Souls, RG aggro, and BR zombies, which iirc are the pillars of the format. he's not THAT bad against Delver though

@Yanni, are you today's Tom Sawyer?

@Necropsy, you should have made that gr aggro deck!

Well, the deadline for these round three results were do at 12:06am est. No word as of yet regarding the results from our friendly neighborhood mod...

Let's get some more proposals or votes for the next thread title! I'd like to do the thread shift by Monday, if at at possible.

he's gets high on you!

seth said they had the string ensamble with them that recored parts of the new album and yyz sounded nutty with it.

I like the House Dimir Never Left thread idea, that seems cool

Quote from Necropsy

Well, just traded Huntmaster of the Fells and two bonfires (1 foil) for a box of RTR. I'm happy! Can't wait 'til preorders ship!

wow that seems like a rip off.
130ish in value for a box? or was it too a store?

So I couldn't find any scalped tickets that weren't stupid expensive, but my friends gave me the t-shirt they caught. It has a picture of one of the band members as a kid and it says "my car goes fast" on the back. all an all, fun times, well worth the trip.

@Yanni, your point is valid, for you I will never play it in Standard. Well, you never know, (lol, I doubt it). But will gleefully clutch them in either limited formats.
Fnm tomorrow. Brringing... rg aggro! Chea! I'm stoked and ready for a tournament after all these drafts.

I was go ing to go cube at FNM, but a friend called and I'm driving them to a Rush concert (for cash because they're going to you know)

I mean yeah it's a total house in limited and i'm sure some random jank decks will play in at FNM... but that doesn't make it good in constructed, which is all I care about or play for the most part.

dude.
a pulse, for two mana, that hit relevant things in standard.
zomg
aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssoooooommmmmme

also verdict is pretty cool. wrath effects are fun.
that last one is crap though. wooowhooo a permanent giant growth for all my guys.

Quote from Digi

the less people have to complain about Standard, the more fun we can have:)
+100 to this.
The mana fixation at the end of this block will be some of the best we've ever seen in Standard.

@Yanni, that's terrible. I'm so sorry you live around a bunch of pats fans.

Before anyone says anything, [Insert tasteless Ben Roethisbeger joke involving a dog and allegations involving unwarranted groping]
Someone said they named one of their teams Brady Gaga. That's pretty funny. somebody also said Plaxidental Shooting.

It's pretty funny to see this dog act like a wide reciever.
this set, even with what we'ev seen, is a homerun. I will likely open WAY more mtg packs than I have in the past.

Quote from Necropsy

Looks like I'm building a WBG standard. This + proliferate and populate... Janky jank of course but by god it will be fun!!

ZOMG
IT SAYS WIN THE GAME

GAHHHHH

seriously though guys I see this card doing what Karn does most of the time. Coming down, killing something, and fogging. The first ability isn't THAT great. It's cool, but it's not spectacular. It almost should just say zero: destroy target tapped creature. because lol.
I'm not sure how the ultimate will work in standard. With all these burn spells to kill X/1s, I don't see this getting much play other than to be an expensive mealstorm pulse + fog.
but yeah this plus populate is stupid
I wouldn't mind playing Jace + this chick + quirion dryads + black removal and just good blue cards.

digi, I wish I followed football more than I do. as in, any at all. The only one I know is one of my friends from college taught his Boarder Collie "Finn, I'm tom Brady" and the dog will run ten feet in front of you, then will chase after whatever you throw it

that dryad is sick.
Semi-graveyard hate + savannah lions that I can p'lay in green OR white?
thanks WotC!
you've almost made up for FTV Dirt and Commander's FTV

I'm seriously considering just getting 2 sets of Uncommons/commons and buying the rares I need.
this set is sick.


I just cehcked SCG

REASONABLE PREORDER PRICES? NO WAY

Fatty wurm of the set.
It's like a really big thrag tusk without the life gain!
it's also big!
guys did I mention it's big!

Quote from Digi

@Yanni, I was working on a cube for a while, but noone was really interested around here. I disassembled it when I started building all these Commander decks. My cube was begining to be awesome, too. Oh well, I get way more play out of all those good cards in Commander.

@Judge's Familiar; this is by far my favorite card previewed. It's seriously a more versatile Cursecatcher, (though doesn't get fish bumps, so it may not be as played). The flying aspect is sweeeeeeeeeeet.

We need more round three judging results for the card ccreation clans contest.

@Artists, could someone make me a Stan-Tezzeret? I have some cartoony Tezz images and a million Stan images laying around. If possible, I'd like it to look like it was created that way.... anyone interested in hooking me up?

I'm going to get mine in tomorrow. It's cube day.
I'll post a list when we finish the first draft with it.

I made it so Stasis is a Deck. Storm is a deck. Goblins and Burn are decks. Stoneblade is a deck. Affinity is a deck. Elves is a deck. Ramp is a deck. Monoblack Aggro is a deck. Jund is a deck. Kiki-Twin (in R and UR flavors) are decks.

I tried to make it as fun as possible without anything being TOO oppressive.
For example, I didn't throw in the Lackey style goblins, but they have lots o lords.
I'm going to try and draft Stasis cause lol.
'
so here's an update, we're done with one pack so far and we're taking a break for whatever.

I open my first pack, here's what's inside.

Boomarang
Isochron Scepter
Manaleak
Disperse
Bloodbraid Elf
Duress
Hymn to Tourach
Endrils of Agony
Kiki-jiki
Squadron Hawk
Tectonic Edge
Forbidden City
Captain's Call
Llanowar Elves
Hypergenesis

Now there's some really good stuff in this pack. I wanted to force stasis, but I took the Isochron Scepter because that card is bomb no matter what. the close second was BBE and I was going to either land Hypergenesis on the roundabout or just go into Naya or Jund (RG aggro is not very good) Kiki was a distant third
I got Stasis in the passed pack from Seth.
Here's what my pool looks like as of now (in order)

Isocron Scepter
Stasis
Foil
Mana Leak
Frozen Aether
Darksteel Axe
Sharding Sphynx
Forbidden City
Hoodwink
Counterspell
Brainstorm
Boomerang
other crap that no one wanted
so I'm set so far. we'll see how it ends up

the deck

yeah I plan on picking up a 4x Uncommon/common set just so I can have the judges. Those are the nuts. It's a solid cheap blue beater that can also double as a counter spell
also the gates, those are good.

and the charms
and I'm sure we'll see some good cards past that

in recent news, I'm making a Cube for funzies.
elves are really good!
so is twin!

it's also unpowered because I'm poor

I like Niv.
He's not as stupid broken as old niv, but I like him.
