Sending a vm in a sec.
I'm on right now as well.
I would play, but Gypsy seems to be the only worthy opponent :wacko:
God damn it guys, you make me really, really want to play magic even though I know at my very core I don't want to start playing again.
Plaaaaaaaaaaay iiiiiiittttttt. PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. O.O
That's exactly what my soul is screaming. "Yeah I can make quick mono-red burn dead, get a few games in."Quote:

Wizards used their giant phallus to ban Stoneforge Mystic and Jace, The Mind Sculptor. Bawing was heard for hours by cawblade players everywhere.
In standard play? If so, that's fucking hilarious.Quote:

Oh and Phyrexian Obliterator is now entirely playable so the value is soaring.

Does Phyrexian Obliterator have any trick with other cards or is he just a big fatty who kicks in doors? I haven't been following the game in any capacity lately.
It doesn't matter how hard WotC trolls the player base, we will bitch a lot... but still pay and play.Quote:

He's really strong in a mono-black with Abyssal Persecutor though. So fast.
Is MtG all you guys think about?
...
Me too...
Oh man, when I first saw Obliterator, I thought he was BBBBB for a 5/5, yeah, I can see why he's good now.Quote:

Yeah black is really strong now, lots of options. Splash blue or red or just go mono and balls out.Quote:

Death's Shadow and Immolating Souleater, what's your work around for that deck? I guess you don't really intended to have much of a life total throughout the game so how exactly does it all come together besides having Souleater fuel Death's Shadow?Quote:

For fucks sake, so many cards and I have NO IDEA what they do, don't play for a year and everything is different.
Well, it's time to sell all of my revised duals and start playing again.
2x Doom Blade - Creature Kill
2x Go For The Throat - Creature Kill
3x Mana Leak - Soft Counter
3x Spell Pierce - Non-creature Soft Counter
4x Tainted Strike - +1/+0 and Infect (if you don't know about infect it changes damage to players to poison counters and -1/-1 counters to creature, basically it's a cheap way to win w/ and unblocked creature)
2x Despise Ostracize + hits Planeswalkers
4x Distortion Strike +1/+0 and Unblockable (casts for free again next upkeep if it resolves)
4x Gitaxian Probe - Look at opp hand and draw
4x Inquisition of Kozilek Pro shit
3x Preordain - Scry and Draw
I'm actually look to modify the sideboard now. I think it could use Surgical Extraction, Memoricide and maybe Sadistic Sacrement. All of which are combo breaker cards.
Yeah, I pretty much looked all of the cards up as soon as I typed that. Why play Despise over Duress? Both of them hit planeswalkers, I have no idea what the meta game is, but it appears that you can deal with creatures efficiently. Any specific reason for needing the ostracize part of that effect or are you just using it as more creature hate?
It's good for hitting big creatures out. Kozilek takes care of a lot and slows the game down.
The top decks right now are Valakut and UB Control. Vs these decks I'll be taking out a Plainswalker or a 6 CMC Creature for the most part. Kozilek takes out all the lower tier non-creature cards.
Sooooo...people annoy me sometimes on Cockatrice. Everyone should know what they are getting into if they are playing a Legacy game. First guy I beat left right after I won game 1. Second guy I beat bitched about me getting a god hand after throwing down on his ass and winning the game turn 2 so I really didn't want to even bother with the match. I submit that the deck I was running really can't get too many bad hands w/o getting effed plus mulling to 5 w/ it is pretty doable.
Deck I was using for the lulz

4x Lion's Eye Diamond
4x Lotus Petal

1x Ad Nauseum
4x Brainstorm
4x Cabal Ritual
4x Dark Ritual

3x Island
4x Misty Rainforest
4x Polluted Delta

Basically Legacy is a really fun format, until you have to play annoying people. I much prefer the Germans and the Spanish on there that play Legacy.
Yeah, I played a lot of legacy and vintage. Storm pretty much runs itself, the only thing you need to worry about is post board. I remember when they printed Ad Nauseam, it was a great day for all of TEPS and it's variants.
Yeah it's a pretty pro card. IDT Legacy was around the last time I had quit. But Extended was actually somewhat fun and playable then.
Basically the top decks right now in Legacy are Merfolk, Hivemind and BUG Landstill. I think stuff like ANT and Painted Stone are really easy to run and can definitely get some good play. IMO stuff like Dredge, Goblins and RDW are lower tier right now. There were some more unique decks that placed top 16 at Denver which always makes me happy. Zoo placed at Providence which is lol, I still haven't look at the full top 16 from that yet. All that being said, any serious Legacy deck can beat any other serious Legacy deck. Comes down to luck and playing very carefully. Stoneforge Mystic is definitely popping up a lot more next year I think.
Personally if you grade them out I think BUG Landstill is the strongest overall but I love the sheer audacity of winning with Hivemind.
I'm not as big of a vintage fan. It's all Oath of Druids this, infinite turns combo that...
Back to reading articles about magic I go...:wacko:
Legacy is a lesson in futility, I won this game but lolol.

There is a serious lack of Diabolic Tutor in your black decks :wacko:
Man, RESOURCES. I'm sure there was a better way to deal with that Goyf without starting a counter war. Although Tarmogoyf is kind of a big deal. Also Mental Misstep, I've never seen that card, it's pretty awesome.
Fuck tutors, rip that shit off the top deck like a pro.Quote:

Yeah all he had after that was 1 Lightning Bolt and I had no cards left. lol.Quote:
