I spend most of my time listening to ambient music and soundtracks. Almost all "real music" seems dull in comparison. There isn't much that I actively dislike, though.
that name isn't familiar. I thought Modus Ataraxia was some old legend or something. I typed it in google and realized it's a real person. :/ Does he like suicidal cards or something?
I have been known to have a soft spot for them.
Also, that card is an insta-play for me. Anyone want to ship me a list of what they think are the relevant spells played in the format that make it worth a slot? I'm lazy right now.
Everything I could watch through cable, I can find on the net. I feel that more people could do well downsizing their lives sometimes. I pay $30/mo for my acceptable 25MB internet, and that's it. Need to call me? Do it on my POS Cricket phone, of which I pay $12/mo, because that's what a damn phone is for.
Also, I'm not pre-ordering anything (yet). Stupid UR legend is not really UR (again).
Way to go, Wizards! You've predictably printed another UR Legend that does a blue thing and a red thing, but doesn't even come close to being remotely UR!
Pat yourselves on the back. You've done it again. -_-
My Melek, Izzet Paragon started out this way. But even though you never look threatening, if you have no creature, eventually people will attack you just because everyone else has blockers. (Plus Melek just isn't very good.) I caved in and added a few Fog Banks.
If you can convince people that your Jhoira deck isn't Obliterate and Friends.dec, do you think it might ease some of the hate being thrown your way just for playing her? Because I had an idea to just take a lot of turns, and try to win as quickly as possible within those turns.
You're probably going to have to jump through a few hoops to convince people not to gun for you. The problem is, what's the point, when your deck isn't too much of a stone's throw away from being high powered? Imagine yourself spending time and effort talking about the merits of the deck, only to end the game with a chain of extra turns and an Omniscience. Do you think anyone would react differently?
With Jhoira, you really only have two options. 1. De-power the deck on purpose and play the cards straight, so people get the picture that your deck is atypical. 2. Own the archetype, and if anyone comes your way, knock them out of the game to set an example.
- The idea of having a deck based on a unique character as a main focus is very appealing.
- Multiplayer format is perfect for social gatherings with friends.
- Massive card pool creates opportunities for ridiculous/fun card interactions, along with excellent combo potential.
- Singleton format with 100 cards allows for diversity between games.
The format pretty much meets every Magic-related need I have.
As a dedicated, long-term chaos player, I've found that players don't mind the archetype, as long as it avoids two things: turning the game into an exercise in accounting, or stopping players from playing the deck they sat down to play.
Planar Chaos, Psychic Battle, Shared Fate, and Grip of Chaos all break at least one of the rules. They seem "good" on paper, and you might even enjoy what they can do to the game once or twice, but they are trap cards. I would advise against using them. I love Confusion in the Ranks more than anyone I've ever met, but I don't use it, because it's rarely fun for the other players at the table.
Player casts Brainstorm (for example). There is no other Brainstorm in their graveyard. Is any damage dealt by Dwarven Shrine? I'm assuming no, but I wanted to check.
My next version of this was going to be Naya, but now that I'm reading all the responses I'm thinking BUG would be pretty fun.
Going from WBG to UBG only changes one color, and is still very heavy control. The deck is going to feel almost exactly the same, and you will likely be disappointed. Follow your gut instinct.
All three of these cards will draw you large amounts of hate. People hate Wanderer because of its brutal efficiency and explosiveness, they hate Animar because of its combo potential, and they hate Riku because his perceived ability to win out of nowhere.
Warp World is the best card ever printed. All the creatures want Warp World, and all the instants and sorceries want to be Warp World. When I grow up, I want to be a Warp World.
It does less winning on its own than Skeleton Ship did. That is to say, no winning whatsoever. Unless that phase has passed.
Also, yes. I am. I like having an association with an under-valued style of play.
That's pretty much exactly 99% spot-on.
By the way, Gals... I know it's UG, but I'm thinking Kruphix is pretty much your wheelhouse.

Tradition, and the Dunning-Kreuger effect.
Because intelligence doesn't always have full bearing on our ability to make sexual decisions.
Solves that problem.

Rith takes care of this. You'll need chump blockers. Plays well with Doubling Season, too.
Blame people that hate things.
Put out tons of chump blockers, defend your planeswalkers. Win the game.
