MTG Salvation

seriously, Dimir Charm? if you want bad removal, just play Last Breath... the other part of dimir charm is just an bad index and the counter-part is not a real counter IMO..

Never forget the lifelink part of Azorius Charm. I had 2 Aetherling. i won 14 life(i was short in mana to gain the full 16 :P) in a turn. my opponent's 2 Stormbreath Dragon couldn't race that even by getting one of them monstruous with my hand with 5 cards! Elspeth tons of token are nice with lifelink also. even more if the ultimate don't kill them right aways, it save you for a turn in many board states

I'm also wondering the same... and UWcontrol is more played than uwr or esper combined in my area. i did 2 events of 30-35 persons this week...

i know a lot of people are preparing for FNM and Champs tomorrow... in pure UWcontrol, every one seem to play Precinct Captain in SB. I personnaly don't like to put creatures in my SB that are not "great", and that are just ok vs all the decks i try to sb against. its a so-so blocker vs aggro... a so-so win-con vs control... why do we play this? when are we SBing this in? IMO i would prefer a stone wall (like the Ox) vs GWaggro or Raggro or a colour hoser like Fiendslayer Paladin vs red. Vs control Captain seem weak... Nightveil Specter is better vs control IMO... randomly removing their future aetherling is cool, and you can cast thier counterspells (almost a scroll thief with evasion that doesn't count in your maximum handsize)... the triple U is hard to cast althought.

I did 2 tournament wednesday and thursday (i did 2-2, 2-1-1) oblivously its not that great. Render Silent is a card to explore. i more than once timewalked my oppenent that was trying to play duress/thoughseize vs me (midrange). or aggro player that are trying to bait their first spell. i tried that instead of dissolve. its not bad.

knowing every cards price in t2 in 10 sec was nice... its a huge loss for many traders... it means i make less trades in 10 minute before the next round because i have to bargain every price and if the other player wants to check everything... its a pain in the ass i will try to know my prices before the trades and use the usual "how much this?" "ok (its cheap)/no (its too expensive)" Putting the cellphone on the table with that site open like saying "i gonna be "fair" with you today". now i have to return to the old sharky-me... sorry casuals... i won't type every price on my phone.

As i see this, he was in a bad community, i'm sorry for him. People in the community are the reason i stick to the game. I feel like they shouldn't be the reason you leave....

its wierd how Creeping Tar Pit is probably the "best" man-land in legacy and the 3 other(who play the Lavaclaws Reach anyways) are better than it in modern. it probably have something to do with the fact that modern decks play 4 bolt 4 helix... Still wierd!

it might be me, but i noticed A LOT of auction on Daze, Dark ritual and Foil fetch land(polluted delta to be precise) recently... there might be something fishy :S

storm is not bad either... personnally i prefer to play storm rather than belcher... :S

Void is banned for using smilies.

Which store? face to face games?

I got the power 9(8) in Collector Edition, except for lotus for my cube for like 300

The front of the cards looks like beta so its even cooler than a unlimited

If your playgroup don't "accept" proxy like that, screw them and play it anyways... its not like its a mox in EDH or anything that strong. what they gonna do when you will play it? exclude you from the game?

man i thought the OP was crazy and didn't look well, but that playmat really sells for 60-70 on ebay. CRAZY!... i should have won that playmat instead of the DGM one :S

not that i don't like the "Geralf's Messenger / Desecration Demon / Bloodgift Demon / Disciple of Bolas" package, but i was trying to build a deck that doesnt die from its own mutilate the keyrune/mutavault/haunted platemail seemed like a good start. my first list was 4 nighthawk only 3 staff of nin, 2 curse MD and 2 liliana

And than my meta shifted for JUND/UWR like at worlds. Here is 2 thing i noted. Nighthawk were good but not a good source of damage... and i NEED to down the numder of staff. UWR play like 3-4 d-sphere post SB.

i was pleasantly surprised with Lifebane Zombie. Getting every creature from Jund except their 2-3 olivia and 3-4 Lifebane zombie (if they play it) seemed like a good plan. getting those resto vs UWR on turn 3 was a good plan also. and a 3/1 almost unblockable is also a faster clock.

The haunted plate mail is a new toy. i removed the liliana of the dark realms completly... too often it was a 4 mana swamp because i didn't want to kill herself to kill a creature. And the times i was untapping with her, the creature i was trying to pump, almost always died. i want to try Haunted Plate Mail instead. i will lose another turn to equip it on a creature that my opp will try to kill. but i will still have a blocker and a threat.

Is that the best deck? probably not! is that a fun deck? it certainly is. the best deck with the creature package mentionned earlier is IMO the BG rock deck. abrupt decay golgari charm thragtusk and garruk relentless seem to totally worth it. However, i wanted to make a control without much creature in it, and i think i found the right balancing with this version. i'm impatient to test the "batterskull" in T2

the thing is... people don't want your creativity or klug's creativity. it worth less because its a "lot" and people think a "lot of cards" = discount. You will clearly get more as singles but it will take more time for sure. Half of the fun of building a cube is spending 50$ each week to build/pimp it and building your own list. i wouldn't pay 2k for a edh deck or a cube... but i would gladly build one overtime that worth that much.

P.S. : find other cubers that would want the foil cards to pimp thier own cube.

LOVE THIS THREAD! this is hte best season of t2... you can build anything! Your giving me SO many ideas for the next couple of weeks.

i build this deck last week. Based of adams prosak no land deck in legacy

Burito Breakfest in T2


No SB because its like cheating! lol

the deck is such a joke.

one of my friend watched the stream of you vs travis woo... i got challenged to run it at tomorrow FNM LOL... i was running Humanimator this winter. this deck is clearly worse than Humanimator. the 4 card combo with fiendhunter+BTE+undercityinformer+angel is cute but there was two thing i didn't like about this. 1) when you try to combo, some cards get stuck in your hand. 2) Fiend Hunter is bad. 3) Traveler amulet is bad

i removed the blue in the mana base and Traveler's Amulet for Fatihless Looting to discards combo pieces... the mana is more stretch but it felt better. you can draw form it if Apprentice is in your graveyard. Then i removed the Fiend Hunter because i almost never cast it anyways and winning when only half of your deck is in your graveyard feel almost like cheating

i kept ALL the hand with a one lander (green) almost not matter what. i priorize getting temple garden with farseek to get the white mana if i don't need black or red (or if i have other ways to fixes those colour.). if i find a undercity infirmer lategame and i need to sac my 3-4 dude to combo-off there is nothing worse than having to wait for a white mana to combo. note that abundant growth and avacyn's pilgrim both fix the need of white.

here is my deck list.
