Mindbreak Trap (and Containment Priest) are both meta calls. Obliterate, Boseiju and infinite combos involving
casting and bouncing palinchron are too common for my tastes in my meta.
What are your thoughts about Crawlspace? Also, what are your experiences with Mobilization?
My friend tried to convince me that it's a bad card that requires too much mana to be useful ever, but I've
seen it on the other side of table quite often and it always seems to be really good if it sticks...

Bur posted a message on EDH: Ertai the CorruptedI'd probably cut Prison/Propaganda first, since I'd prefer to have an option to protect my PW's.Posted in: Bur
Also, what are your thoughts about Oblivion Ring etc.?
And are 15 Scepter-able instants enough?
... I'm really having trouble with cutting stuff. I still kinda want to add few more counters and removals... -

Bur posted a message on EDH: Ertai the CorruptedFew changes:Posted in: Bur
- Norn's Annex. It was a artifact and not enchantment.
+ Ophiomancer. Since I'm an idiot.
+ Hero's Downfall. Removal for PW's (and that removal is needed in my meta.)
+ Return to Dust. Since 2-for-1 exile is good.
+ Torpor Orb. Since I don't like EtB-creatures.
Also, the thing that worries me a lot is that I have contamination but no way to play around it myself. I would need to have few more mana rocks that produce coloured mana.
EDIT: Removed Contamination.
Also, not cutting Crawlspace or Containment Priest anytime soon. Crawlspace only states about attacking me while Containment Priest is a meta-call.
Also, I don't like Seals since they let my opponents know that the removal is coming miles ahead... -

Bur posted a message on EDH: Ertai the CorruptedI still left Containment Priest, since reanimation and stuff like Tooth and Nail, GSZ and Chord of Calling are quite common in my meta...Posted in: Bur
But, more suggestions what to cut and what to add? I think I'm little bit over 100 at the moment... -

What counterspells would you suggest besides those?
Also, what do you suggest I should cut? I need to cut still quite a few things, any suggestions? -

Bur posted a message on EDH: Toshiro UmezawaPosted in: BurQuote from ISBPathfinder »Personally I went away from Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief a while back because she was just so mana intensive to really utilize. I think she is still decent but you might also test Sheoldred, Whispering One in her place. I was originally against utilizing her but she does some decent work especially when paired with some recursion. Against hexproof voltron is where she really shines but I think she is still a fairly good value engine all around.
Disciple of Bolas goes back and forth for me as well. I ended up cutting him from my list because I rarely had disposable creatures that would give me a good number of cards. Low creature counts + utility based creatures makes him a bit awkward.
Rescue from the Underworld was always awkward for me as well. It exiles itself so you can only use it once and it has a delay which can be incredibly awkward if someone does something on your turn to a creature you want to keep. I ended up cutting it myself due to just odd timing in general with it as well as needing two targets and it exiles itself when it resolves.
Rescue from the Underworld and Bone Dancer are the things I probably won't end up cutting, since they are in the decks just because I like them mechanically (and have a pretty foil of Rescue).
I'll keep Disciple and Drana in mind while I keep on testing. -

Bur posted a message on EDH: Toshiro UmezawaPosted in: BurQuote from ISBPathfinder »It looks like it isn't isolated for me.... I am going to bring that one to Feyd.
Both of those options would be solid picks. Picking up another tutor could also be an option for you such as Diabolic Intent or Beseech the Queen. I don't see anything that looks like it has to make the list that is differing between our lists.
Yeah. I have hard time trying to figure out what to cut, since I haven't had enough chances to properly play test everything (there are some cards I haven't still seen a single time, like Oversold Cemetary and Withering Boon).
But, if you think of something that might not be a good idea (or something that makes you think "why?"), let me know. -

Bur posted a message on EDH: Toshiro UmezawaOkay, that's weird. I see normal deck list with no problems.Posted in: Bur
Also, I've been thinking of cutting Boon of Erebos and something else, but have hard times choosing what. (I'm planning to try Jet Medallion and Word of Command.) -

Bur posted a message on EDH: Toshiro UmezawaFirstly, the ISB's list can be found via the the link at the top of the page...Posted in: Bur
Argentum Armor: Even though it is expansive, it is one of the few ways to remove enchantments and artifacts in mono-B.
Burnished Hart: Since ramp is good and it counts as a creature, why not. I like this card more than many other cards that have been released in recent years.
Stinkweed Imp: He's a dredge-enabler (and a good one), but he's no way necessary.
Your suggestions:
Jet Medallion: I thought about it, but ended up cutting it, when I still had few too many cards...
Boseiju: I doubt he'd be that useful in this deck, since at my meta counter-based controls are quite rare (= there is exactly one + few decks with few counters).
Gauntlet/Caged Sun: I don't like Gauntlet, but Caged Sun is actually good... I wonder how that slipped my mind, considering that I run it almost every EDH I have...
Dark Ritual: Since I just don't like mana rituals in EDH. I like them in Legacy, but not in EDH.
Damnation: I considered it, but since the deck has already quite a lot removal, and mutilate usually removes indestructible things, I picked it over Damnation this time.
Grave Pact: I should actually play it in this... But firstly, I need to find 8th version of that, since I dislike the other arts.
Oh, and just so that you know, this deck is not exactly stax. It's more like... UB-control disguised as mono-B deck. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
(My dislike for alcohol gets ironic when you consider I'm studying chemistry and going to specialize in organic chemistry... where alcohol = water)
But, but...
It's just so wonderful feeling when you get to scare and shock and amaze people, when you trick them into thinking that you are something that you are not. It's like live-action acting in real life! You get to became someone else for a moment, you get to use fancy dresses and make-up instead of those palin and ugly clothes they sell for men. (I really, really dislike most of the clothes there are for men, they are just plain ugly.)
Besides, I (sadly) don't cross-dress often, only during Halloweens or masquerades.
People should always try cross-dressing. Especially you guys and Jiva.
(Jiva incoming in 3... 2... 1...)
Anyways, even though I dislike the though of replacing all effects with the sticks with the same effetcs (removing naturalizes with indriks etc.), I have to admit that I play Sisters of Stone Death -EDH which mostly focuses on etb-abilities and sacrificing my own creatures for more effects...
An acquintance of mine always told me "you always trigger my gay-radar" (well, he might have had a point, since I'm a bisexual anyways), and for some reason some people find my crossdressed-self attractive... Not that I can tell why, I look a tad too manly to look a woman, but as myself I look somewhat a bit too girly to look like a man. Gosh.
(Also, I finally got myself a new profile picture for DA and Google+, all the other older photos of me are ugly. I hate the way I look in photos.)
And if anyone is in anyway interested (which I gravely doubt), here:
3U
Fungumind
Whenever ~ is dealt damage, you may draw a card.
2/2
Next: Ancestral Vision in red. (And don't make it into suspendable lightning bolt, it already exists.)
Great to hear that!
Also: Kittens, if I recall right you are m-to-f, right? Do you ever get flirted by other men and how do they react when they find out you are a man actually?
I have the problem that whenever I crossdress, old lewd men start flirting with me no matter what, most of the comments are about my "sexy and good-looking thighs"...
Yeah, and I don't like it that much over the old one. (Ah, I recall as the first booster I ever bought was RoE and from it I opened Bear Umbra and foil Vengevine...)
Anyways, just got back from my universitys anime club. I have to admit that trying to get the bra on is really hard when you have no mirror. I struggled and struggeld with it, but finally after 5 minutes managed to do it. Luckily, it wasn't as hard to get off...
I play both Anowon (vampires) and Oyobi (spirits) and they are really nice to play with and rely mostly on beatdown.
Try suggesting her something like Ezuri, the Renegade Leader or Thelon of Havenwood.
... That was the best way to explain the term... Sorry.
Perhaps I should go to bed, it's almost 3am here and I have lectures tomorrow...
But before I go, I want to ask this: Does anyone of you have any verbal tic or some sort of catch phrase or anything...? (Or even greet other in foreign languages? I and most of my peers do that a lot, most common ones are italian, spanish, english (remember, this is non-english country) and japanese. I use swedish and germany often.)
Oh well, it's just my conservative side speaking (and being a tad jealous for them both for reaching the level in this thing called "relationships" I shall never reach in my life.)
Anyways, anyone experienced Stupid Sexy Flanders -moments and if yes, how often?
Though I haven't been playing Legacy actively lately, in my meta most of the match-ups require me to be a tad more controlling than aggro. Miracles, Combos, Goblins, Elves, Affinity...
I too have quite similar main deck (don't about the land base, since you didn't post yours (unless you don't play lands :D)).
I play 12 Islands, 4 Mutavaults and 4 Wastelands
For the spells, I almost the same, but only 3 LoA, 3 MoPT and 2 Images and no spell pierces (I do have 2 in SB though) nor dismembers. Instead, I play 4 Dazes and 4 Stifles.
and instead I play 4 Dazes.
Also, how effective is the Psychic Purge?
