I'm having some mana problems with it, and I'd like to fit in 2-3 Troll ascetic. I'm willing to drop kokusho, the evening star but i like the kind of reccuring sap i can sometimes get with genesis. Also, how do i get it to the graveyard, and get it to stay. As soon as it hits the field either my opponent will ignore it, or kill it, then remove it from the graveyard. Would sudden death be good to get rid of a withered wretch before it did it's foul deed. And would wild mongrel be good as well, to try to get genesis in the graveyard?
EDIT: In playtesting against ravager-affinity, I have no idea how to deal with it. My friend is getting 9/2 ornithopters swinging at me on turn 2-3. Smother/putrefy/pernicious deed only slows him down. It takes me too long to whip out what I want. living wishing my kataki, war's wage takes me 3 turns (assuming i have living wish in my hand). I get destroyed. Any help there?
EDIT AGAIN: For the trolls, should I do -1 loxodon hierarch, -1 ravenous baloth, -1 kokusho?
Hey guys, dropping in. Extended season is fast approaching and I'm thinking about participating in a PTQ, but I'm not sure what to play. I was thinking of converting one of my decks to be competitive extendedly, I have W/R/G astral slide that's legacy (it would be extended legal if not for the mox diamonds. I was considering making a confinement/loam combo deck for extended, but i'll need to test it and work on it a lot.) and I have B/G rock that's perfectly extended legal. Unforunately it's not good enough to be extended, it relies on big creatures like avatar of woe, spiritmonger and kokusho for the win. It's not anything like gifts rock nor aggro rock. The only thing it really has in common is pernicious deeds which I run 3 (i have 5 though). Anyone here in the competitive scene and have any advice for this scrub?
I already splashed red for lightning rift. I have mox diamonds for multi-mana i suppose, and I guess it wouldn't be hard to splash some more duals and use fetch lands to get them. but it's a fragile decking keeping it at 60 cards. Not sure what I would drop for FoW. I'd rather have some card I could sideboard in.
Hey guys, I'm building semi-competitive, semi-casual confinementslide which uses the loaming engine to maintain my protection. My friend made semi-competitive, semi-casual vialjoblins. Don't ask about joblins, it's just a joke. Both are legacy legal and legacy competitive, but we made them for fun to face off. My biggest threat is enchantment destruction such as cleanfall. Is there any surefire protection for my enchantments against global destruction?
Awesome banner mr. Stuff. But you did it prematurely. I was about to post saying I'm going to wait till part 2 of Naruto comes out and request a banner then. The art I found for the older versions of the characters were from the manga, which are still cool but I don't think they'd look good in the banner I have in mind.
@Mr. Stuff: is there enough art out there of what everyone in Naruto will look like 2 years? I was wondering if you could make me a banner of what characters look like now, and what they'll look like after the 2 years.
First pack had the red akroma, 2nd pack had damnation and jedit. 3rd pack had timbermare. Tourney pack was pretty much garbage except for verdeloth. Played R/G like most people at the prerelease.
I'm a little scared of pyrohemia(the red pestilence). That drops on the board, and this deck gets almost completely screwed. Which is why I'm definitely agreeing with liemke on this, krosan grip is a neccessity. I don't know why, but I have a feeling pyrohemia is going to be played.
aether membrane is a great defender, not much can get through it, so it pisses people off. The bounce ability makes it a ***** to deal with too. Hammerhein Deadeye is awesome, if you play R/G (most people play either red or green or both or some other combination) it's awesome removal, it can even kill an akroma. Dead//gone is good too. Pyrohemia is almost bomb status, you MUST run it if you play red, it's just awesome. Mire boa is great too, regenator's are hard to find, and this one will take most of the hits for you, and if you're opponent is play black, sucks to be him. Slivers aren't played, or at least not in my flight. It might be good to put venser's sliver in your deck, just to be safe. Don't run uktabi drake, it's just not that good in limited. That was just what I saw in my deck that was awesome. I don't remeber too well of the U/G/R deck that hosed me.
EDIT: Forgot 2nd place moment of the tourney. From around 10am-12pm I was known as the guy seeking Solitary Confinement because every 10 minutes I scream at the top of my lungs "DOES ANYONE HAVE SOLITARY CONFINEMENTS?! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I WILL GIVE YOU ORAL SEX FOR THEM!!!!" No one had them, but then during my flight the guy 2 seats down from me had 3 of them, and i traded various crap for them. At like 3 times their value. Whether the oral sex happened or not will be for me to know, and you to question my sexuality about
The prerelease was awesome. First booster in my sealed match had red akroma, second booster had damnation, third had timbermare. I got a verdeloth in my tourney pack. I think I also had a Jedit in my damnation pack. I played R/G and just straight beatdown. Unfortunately after destroying my opponents in rounds 1 and 2 (going 2-0 each time) i went against the good decks and got steamrolled. My 4th round opponent was a sicko. Match 1 he got a turn 1 magus of the scroll and pinged me and all my creatures for 2 every turn. He wiped my creatures out with A LOT of burn too. 2nd match i thought it couldn't possibly be as bad as the last one, but it was worse. He got out a turn 3 magus of the scroll, turn 4 jay ballard. Enter scoop phase
Trade of the tourney: My psionic blast and 2 glimmervoids (played) for his 2 Mox Diamond.
2nd place trade of the tourney: My damnation for his 2 overgrown tomb.
moment of the tourney: Some guy ordered dominoes, 3 medium pies, 2 breadsticks, 1 order buffalo wings, and a liter of coke. They kept calling out "JON, THIS DOMINOES GUY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR 15 MINUTES NOW!!!! EVERYONE NAMED JON RAISE YOUR HAND!" About 5 minutes later some guy bought the dominoes stuff (not Jon, just a hungry guy), he gave out a couple slices but realized him and his friend couldn't possibly eat all of it, so i bought a pie off of him for 5 bucks. I ate about half of it and this person came over who was really hungry. I remembered him because i wanted to trade for his goblin lackey but he valued it a $7 and it was played as hell. He wanted to buy some slices off of me, but I declined. Instead I counter-offered for his lackey. After some grumbling of his tummy, he agreed, and I essentially got a goblin lackey for $2.50
EDIT: Forgot to mention I hung out with ripewiththings2say. He's cool, it was his friend who gave me the two tombs for the damnation.
