Thanks for the replies guys, that's appreciated. I've had a really busy weekend, so I haven't had a chance to update any of the match results I've gotten so far. I should be doing that here pretty shortly *Hopefully tomorrow). I did get all the PM's, thanks for letting me know.
If you didn't saw my last post, I lost 2-0 to zwouip
I always feel like running it turn 2. Since if they blow their removal on it early that's less removal they'll have for more relevant cards. But I fear that I might be playing it wrong.
Actually, this may be right, depending on your version. If you're combo, Marath T2 is a good way to take out annoying removals. However, there are better plays on T2 against certains matchups. If a deck have no answers for Kiki - Zealous, probably Imperial Recruiter is better.
My friend wants to try this deck against his Prossh combo deck and I'm curious on what their game plan is, and how we counter it.
They ramp till 6 mana, cast Prossh, then proceed to win with something involving him or the Kobolds , in a 2-card combo with their general ( aka Hit/Run, Beastmaster Ascension, Xenagos, God of Revels, Food Chain & co.) My suggestion is: Combo faster than them, try a denial plan on their lands or simply keep some removals open for Prossh.
Well, for starters, here are few that you might have not heard of...
For crime-thrillers, I've really enjoyed Leena Lehtolainen's works, for they are rather realistic, told from the perspective of a novice detective, trying to balance her normal life and work.
Oh, and since you said you like fantasy, and judging by the other genre's, I think you might like Fuyumi Ono's novel serie Twelve Kingdoms (I bought it and loved it). For best summary, I'm going to quote you this:
"The Twelve Kingdoms plays an awful lot like a cynical writer watched one too many bad Trapped in Another World series and thought, 'Okay, what would really happen if you threw an insecure teenage girl into a war-torn fantasy world?'"
(And just that you know, my current avatar is one of the main characters from the novels, Enki.)
But before I forget: Are you people interested in having another intra-clan competition?
Yes!
However, thanks a lot for the suggestions! Totally looking for them in some months, when I'll have SoFaI finished
Yeah, I know When I tried to render the some cards of the set, I was like "OMG i found THE art!" Still, it's annoying that you can't use it for those problems :/
@Comicalflop: Yeah, I saw the artwork but I found it a bit disappointing, so...
Can I also suggest this art for Titanium Sentry? I didn't checked if you already used the artwork somewhere else, but it seems way more fitting than the actual one if cutted right.
Obviously, if we want to make the arts "better" we have to create the card with MSE and attach the art separately with a Photoshop-like program, because MSE transforms all the arts in PNG, lowering the quality of the image.
EDIT: Found a good image for Mindslaver by Darius Zawadzki. Check it out!
Also, for suggestions: What types of series/genres you like? I read, watch etc. quite a lot of things, so if I try to recommend something to you, if you like...
Mostly fantasy, but I also enjoy thrillers, horrors, sci-fi, historical and psychological books. Last serie I finished: Hunger Games, that was good and all, but not amazing... The second one was pretty useless. Now reading: A Song of Fire and Ice, Tome 1. Finally decided to read this awesome serie and I already love it. 5000 pages are a lot, though.
Thank you for the apology. When are you free to do our match? I'm hesitant to rush and do it tonight as there is a possibility that the pairings could change again after Feverous sees our discussion. Do you have computer access right now, or are you using a smart phone to post?
I doubt the pairings will change after we already did a match, so you can do it in all safety.
However, for this time i'd say to keep things like this. Pairings are done, and the method seems "less unfair" than the first one. For next tournament, double flaming thumbs up at zwouip's idea. Player pools seems fair, and two weeks are enough imho.
EDIT: Lost 2-0 agaist zwouip's Doran, MW enemy number 1
That the fact they cost more or don't give the same benefices won't get them a spot in green decks unless they're desperately searching for something like this.
They came out very well!
I did this too on Strip Mine and Karplusan Forest 8E

I vote for Thor
The transformation into another user for Knightgeist is almost complete

Lol and the best thing is that I immediately after wrote to Fev saying I won 2-1
Take the dumbness awaay from meeee!
Also, I heard about decklists for the top8
Also, for me 5 rounds seems fine, but maybe 4 is better for not making it too long.
