After you play the deck you will see the deck does not need counters. On turn 2 you have to develop and can't wait around to counter. You have bounce and creature killing to handle anything too big to handle.
The time reversal is the card that sets the whole thing off, and let's you take full advantage of the extra cards. I have considered many cards and consecrated sphinx is one to try. I can definitely see the sphinx finishing games. The eldrazis really would never be cast, and the shuffling effect doesn't really do anything for you.
I will try the sphinx to see how it runs, the only thing I am concerned about is the mana cost, but I can always pitch it early in the game. And it would reallt set off time spiral as well. The other card I wanted to try was sword of war and peace, but I don't have the cash.
This deck I think has some merit and is a total blast to play. There is no killer combo or anything, just a solid black-blue deck that doesn't pay for creatures and you spend all your mana killing there's and clearing the way for your guys to get through
The way it works is that you pitch your bloodghasts and pharaoh's to your looter or infestation. The bloodghasts give you offense while the pharoah build your defense. You protect Jace and yourself with bounce, dismember, consuming vapors and the pharoah. You dig until you get a time reversal then drop your remaining cards and cast it.
The deck slowly wears down opponents by killing their creatures and punching a little through each turn. It may not be tier 1 but its got really fun cards and wins games
Heres my dual land set. Courtesy of Laura Lou who has been doing cards for me, since I started collecting altered cards. This set is pretty much the crown jewel of my collection
I don't see it working well with your typical discard decks, I think it will work best in control. Maybe B/U or B/W.
Sure it doesn't affect the board right away, but thats because it makes them discard. Discard give you CA, and CA wins games. You have the rest of your deck to control the board. It gives you CA and puts them on a clock, two things that have won magic games since the beginning
I would still rather have the rack, but personally I really like it and think its an enchantment powerful enough to build around.
Honestly, after seeing you guys anti tip viewpoints on the subject, I really don't have a problem with people spitting in your food, and I actually hope it happens to you more. You deserve it!
What a bunch of ungrateful cheapskate's. You are trying to make up excuses to totally screw people who are providing services for you. What a selfish point of view. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
If a place charges $20 and I am expected to pay a $4 tip then I am actually paying $24 for the meal. If the tip is not really optional then the meal actually costs $24 and the advertised $20 price is just a gimmick to trick me into thinking the food is cheaper (kinda like the $2.99 price is meant to make me think the product is not actually $3)
Your supposed to tip someone when they provide you a service when you don't want to do that service yourself.
You can get off your lazy ass and go pick up that pizza for 20 bucks. Theres no hidden fees or anything. You pay someone for delivering the pizza because your too lazy to do it yourself.
From your previous posts, it sounds like your taking the delivery service for granted because you think that the system is flawed and think you shouldn't tip becuase the price of delivery is included in the pizza. The only problem with this is that it isn't. The company shorts the drivers on pay and offers them tips as a pay to perform wage and a direct route to put more money in their pockets without increasing overhead.
If you want to pay 20 bucks for the pizza and not get delivery scammed/tricked/gimmicked, go pick it up and save the delivery guy from having to deliver a pizza an ungrateful customer who doesn't appreciate the service they are providing.
Ill usually tip between 350 and 5 bucks depending on the size of the order.
I just want to mention that the drivers at domino's and other restaurants know the people who dont tip, and you are BLACKLISTED. Let me tell you a little story of the corrupt domino's run by my shady ass friends.
Each week there are several people who order domino's and each week NEVER TIP. Sometimes ordering two or three times a week, never tipping.
The drivers and the managers get pissed so they start messing with your food or doing other stuff.
Lets just say I stopped by one time to visit one of my buddies to say hi. All the drivers were out in the parking lot spitting in a guys pie. My friend told me to too and that it was a habitual non tipper, i thought it was messed up and didn't do it. Out walks the manager, who opens the box, picks up a pepperoni and hocks a luggie right under the pepperoni. At that point I knew it was chill to spit in this guys pie too.
Another one of my buddies pissed on the pizza before putting it in the oven because he knew this guy was coming in for a pickup instead of the normal delivery. He just wanted to personally hand the pizza to him. The guy walks out sampling a slice on the way to the car, while my buddy is laughing his ass off.
The only good vampire movie, ever, was Blade 1? I'm giving you some serious side eye right now.
I mean, even the Underworld movies were on par with Blade. And then there's many films with vampires that were actually good. Starting with, but not ending at, Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Dracula was good... it was no blade though I was really just trying to make a joke to hate on vampire movies in general. I don't actually believe the only good vampire movie was blade. Although Wesley Snipes pulled off the impossible being a black man-vampire badass.
The twilight series is to movies as vampire tribal is to standard.
Vampires are overated, and the only good vampire movies were the blade movies... correction the only good vampire movie was blade 1.
Their trying to make vampires into something they are not. Trying to pose the questions "Can a Vampire Love?" and "How much do vampires feel?" This shouldn't be in a vampire movie. I don't even want to mention the bad acting, haircuts and makeup.
Oh then you got the obsessed tween and regrettably saying adult fans and emo douches.
Although the troll is the superior card in a vacuum. The Griffin does more for you at this point. It fits into your colors without the GG commitment, and goes with your theme so far in the WB Fliers.
picking the troll at this point would mean a major switch in colors and you would pretty much have to drop black, even though its still pretty early i think you made the right choice sticking with the flier.
I don't think you are in need of a psychiatrist. You have endured a slew of tragic/depressing events, you will need some time to mourn your losses and internalize how your life has changed and you will of course be depressed about the changes. This doesn't necessarily mean you are a depressed person and need to go on pills or anything.
To characterize yourself as a depressed person who needs therapy, I usually think that a person needs to be free of tragic events but are continuing to be depressed or after a tragic event takes an abnormally long time to mourn the loss and is unable to internalize and adjust to your new life. Maybe just talking it over with some close friends can shed some light on things or even just to help you get your thoughts off your chest will make you feel better or give you some relief and support.

the moral of the story. TIP YOUR DRIVERS!
Although the ranger is good, you will see more of them if you need the color fixing later.
Dracula was good... it was no blade though
