Dies to Removal

In the main I agree but UB has some real nice anti-control cards that are absurd in drawn out games; so I want to test that. If it's not favourable enough ill just play UW myself.

I like the new take on GR Monsters that BBD top eighted the SCG with.

Ill check it out.

Mirko Vosk.

GG.

I can't believe you aren't playing red! what will your readers think?

They think "that guy is a GP champion and very good looking - he should play Spike Spiegel in the live action adaption"

I expect a lot of Mono U and UW and I don't like red in that meta.

Ok

Last night i lost to a guy who mulled to four.

Anything can happen

I think Ellie Goulding wrote a song about that.

Ok

"There is no genius other than one which is expressed in the works of art; the genius of Proust is the sum of Proust's works; the genius of Racine is his series of tragedies. Outside of that, there is nothing. Why say that Racine could have written another tragedy, when he didn't write it? A man is involved in life, leaves his impress on it, and outside of that, there is nothing ... it prompts people to understand that reality alone is what counts, that dreams, expectations and hopes warrant no more than to define a man as a disappointed dream, as miscarried hopes, as vain expectations." - John Paul Sartre

it was against g/w with some hexproof (running maindeck courage armor witchstalker and gladecover along with other normal g/w shit.)

He mulled to 4, kept witchstalker forest plains gladecover,

turns in order
forest gladecover
draw fleecemane, plains fleecemain
draw forest, forest witchstalker
draw unflinching courage, cast on witchstalker
draw unflinching courage, cast on witchstalker

I never stood a chance

Is this Z6 or Z1?

Well that sure is a disappointing way to live life Z.

I think Ellie Goulding wrote a song about that.

That was stuck in my head all day. Fuck you.

Don't talk about dreams, live them, is the message.

You're a lucky man.

I have listened to Under the Sheets 1062 times.

Even good songs become bad when you only hear the chorus for 3 hours.

I was just hoping to see our Grim Lavamancer burn some dudes (I still hope you get a feature match). I assumed you'd be playing red since it is more than playable. I would only not play red if there wasn't a viable red deck lol.

If you're set on U/B, maybe this would be helpful?:

The lyrics to I Am Mine tattooed on my body say otherwise.

That's amusingly similar!

Thanks for the list.

Might be worth testing.

Thanks for the list.

No problem, took me a few tries to get the formatting right.

He's list is obviously substantially more tuned than mine; mines a bunch of 4-ofs which is rarely correct in control.

I've not heard anyone like Prognostic Sphinx; but ges stuck with it for months now. I need to at least test it.

Tomorrow's low: 10 deg F.

I live in lower Alabama. This should not be.

Canadian Bro, whatchu know 'bout cold weather?

We know that we aren't supposed to have it.

Fair enough, I think I'm going to immediately freeze to death upon my return to Canada. The part of Japan I've been living in for the last 4 years never really goes below minus 3. I'm moving home end of March / start of April, so I'll probably catch the tail end of winter.

The Fires of Salvation will keep you warm.

I can attest that this is at least somewhat false.

The Fire is not strong with this one.

i've heard the only 2 people i trust for magic advice at my lgs rave about the sphinx. i think it would be worth testing a few at least

It would need to play a lot better than it looks; but maybe it does.

Prognostic Sphinx is sweet. I've been playing him in Walls as a 2-of out of the board against control decks, since generally they'll spend the early game shocking themselves, expecting to never take damage from my deck.

A little slow on the draw, that one.

Someone with a facebook link him to Ham's article. I can't stand authors who don't do research.

The Jund depths deck that won the open looks so sweet.

Yes please play entomb as a value card
