Dies to Removal

There are detractors but I feel like Zoo is a legitimate strategy. Naya Zoo is pretty damn good.

See, my view is that I can do that in Standard and win any time I want, and that the other formats are where I branch out a bit and have some fun.

White has really great sideboard hate for a lot of popular decks, which is mostly why I want to play with it.

My favorite color combo is RB, so perhaps I should just brew up a Dega deck and turn dudes sideways.

The real reason I'm playing soul sisters is that it is just such a good meta choice for me and will win me store credit until I can afford to build something I really want to play.

I can't even h8cha bro. I'm playing Z's mono U brew in Pauper to grind tix.

Happy almost New Year and such :3

My uncle looks better than I expected. But still, yeah, down an eye. He's so down on painkillers I don't think he even knows we're here.

Blood Baron is a pretty good card.

Yeah, I'm primarily talking Modern though. Is he worth a damn there?

What else are you going to play in a dega shell? He's a dude that you can turn sideways in those colors.

Blood Baron isn't a good card.

Chapin hasn't written anything relevant in years. My fear is he becomes the next Flores.

I'd have black and red creatures and splash the white for sideboard cards and removal.

Reading PV's articles has really made me want to learn how to play control. I feel like I might really enjoy it, and possibly be good at it. Playing around Zem's legacy U/B definitely feels like a trial by fire, though.

To be fair, that's about the most skill intensive deck I have ever played as well; when your only realistic win condition is ultimating a planeswalker, its going to be a steep learning curve!

I like him better than most other cards at his cmc, but that doesn't say a lot since there is much to be desired there in those colors anyway.

You and I both seem to have a very conservative play style, Zem, while still having a preference for aggro decks.

Play what you enjoy and what wins.

Zem prefers Sentry of the Underworld to Blood Baron

Happy New Year Kait

Zem prefers Sentry of the Underworld to Blood Baron

I did not know this card existed until this post. Into the cube it goes.

Combos with Purge the Profane.

Do you even purge?

I like Naya Zoo because you get to run Knight of the Reliquary. That card is badass.

So messing around with Pauper RUG Ramp:

Lands
4 Gruul Guildgate
4 Izzet Guildgate
4 Simic Guildgate

6 Forest
6 Island
2 Mountain[/deck]

Want to look at a more control oriented version too; RUG plays all the best cards in the format, not close.

Most listened to song of the year: There's Something About Us Under the Sheets (Daft Punk x Ellie Goulding) - B Roc of the Knocks

I've been stuck on Get Lucky for like, two weeks now.

STill listening to Miley Cyrus

Twerk it!

Just made a party out of nothing. Just needed a little booze and fire. Good times are being had. Cheers, gents.

Yeah, I should probably step back from that list for a bit until I know what I'm doing. Tube can attest to how terrible that deck can be in the wrong hands. I
think one point I lost when he was hellbent and I had Jace.

I first heard this Feb 8, night I met Pip.

That's pretty funny.

Best song on the album is Instant Crush. Get on it.

Pharrel Williams is hot stuff though.

Right now, nothing is topping the George Thorogood I'm jamming on.

Dat pickin' solo on One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.

Slide in the key of G, get sum.

I had him ship a revealed Prime Time or some other non-lethal threat that I had another answer to by the logic that it was stronger than the average card in his deck. Next turn he top decks scapeshift and I have no answer. Now, after reading PV's "Strategy and Tactics," I would never make that mistake.

Didn't he write an article on the value of Counterspells? Whoever did, it was very informative.

I just want to play Z's RUG list and craft lines that result in Bertoncini's classic "two Explores"

We could all get our chance to do that in Standard now.

Looks like I'll get my Remands in for Modern FNM on time, but I'm not sure about my Serum Visions. I'm wary of running UR Delver without them so if I don't get them in I may take it as a sign that I need to troll my LGS...HARD.
