I can respect the idea of adults watching MLP. I cannot respect the idea of them calling me out about my own personal interests simply because I say I don't like MLP. Truthfully, I think the show is lame and if you do watch it as an adult, their is something.... immature about you. But, as I said, I respect those that do watch it, simply for the fact that I too have my immature interests.
I guess it all really comes down to compromise and putting up with things, rite?
Here's a link to help you see the deck list and of what's to be rotated out (specifically when RtR comes, all Scars of Mirrodin rotates out). Hope this helps.
Hello. The name is X and I'm in need of finding a good gaming laptop.
Here's the thing. I know gaming on a PC is much better than a laptop. The unfortunate thing is I'm rarely home. And truthfully, i don't have time to actually sit down and play for 3 hrs straight. But there are games I do want to play. Truthfully, I'm looking for a laptop that can run Steam games and LoL, and at best, Starcraft 2. I've got a budget of about $600 dollars. Again, not looking for anything crazy powerful... just something that will allow me to play games with others.
If you need any more specs, let me know. Thanx all, i appreciate the help.
Oh, one more thing. Please don't suggest me an HP or Apple. I've lost faith in HP and I've never been a fan of Apple. Thanx again.
I see the reasoning cutting goblins and goblin grenade. Not really seeing a reason behind goblin guide...Fireblast does spark my interest for a killer finisher, might figure a way in put it in the deck.
I'm going to keep pyromancer ascension since I've see it in numerous mono red decks as well as my buddies burn deck, which is mono red and it works very well
The reason behind running Goblin Guide is because its one of the best 1st turn plays a mono-red deck can play. Simply put, its burn on a stick. Drop it and then swing. Yes, a person may get a land out of it, but it tends to throw people's game off while also enabling you to peek at what may be played next.
If you plan on running Pyromancer Ascension, run Magma Jet. The scry factor will help you better set up and activate Ascension instead of hoping for luck draws. Another suggestion, albeit a bit clunkier, would be to run Crystal Ball or Isocron Scepter w/ Magma Jet. Just activate each artifact at the EOT and you'll be able to better manipulate your draws.
Is iso scepter playable? Of course. Imho, one of the most broken artifacts in the game.
4 Counterspell and 4 Mana Leak is all you need. And if you really want to lock everyone out, run Knowledge Pool (though I prefer the ol' Curse of Exhaustion trick). That'll really annoy everyone. However, i feel that your finishers need more of an umph. I feel that they're so lackluster. How about some sort of heavy hitter, like Blightsteel Colossus?
I think Koth should go to you and Chandra Ablaze goto your gf. If you're running mono-red dragons, Koth's 2nd ability is going to be a life saver fro you. As for Chandra, her 2nd ability and ult can help your gf win in games of attrition. At least, that's how i see it.
For unbeatable decks, I play Belcher. As long as you have cards like Boseiju, Who Shelters All, even with cards like Daze, you quickly become a force to be reckoned with. Sure, its cheesy, but at least it shuts them down. That or play your own version of counter control.
So I'm not one for playing MTG. I'm in it for the deck creation. And sadly, I've just run out of steam. Anyone care to give me deck ideas to work with, combos to play with, or cards to build around? I'd greatly appreciate it. Please don't give answers like "make an aggro deck" or "make something that deals with control". Give me specifics, like Hive Mind control or some funky combo that no one has ever thought of. Give me a lead and I'll build it.
From experience, mono-red D-Storm doesn't work, particularly because the draw is so bad. You're literally goldfishing with luck. Even worse, if you top-deck one of your dragons, you've almost have no way of reshuffling them back into your deck unless you use blue. D-Storm unless really works well with blue because of cantripping and hand fixing. If he's was really bent on not using blue, trying using cards like Crystal Ball and Magma Jet to hand fix. I haven't tried things like Faithless Looting, Reforge the Soul, or Dangerous Wager to see how those work, but I assume using them in conjunction with Elixir of Immortality would be helpful.
Dragon wise, I tend to use Bogardan Hellkites and a single Karrathus for a clear cut alpha strike and guarantee that one player will be out.
Lightning Bolt, Rift Bolt, Burst Lightning, and Incinerate should all be 4-ofs, at least the bolts should be 4-ofs. Couples with the Shrine, they're beastly. If you're feeling alittle combo-y, I like playing with Kiln Fiend and Chandra's Spitfire. Kiln Fiend is particularly amazing with all the spell synergy it has. As a back-up plan, I play Fling to make sure I can push damage through.
