Please, no GoT spoilers! We haven't seen anything from the third season yet (I'm not paying for the local HBO channel).
So, you know nothing?
I see what you did there. I'm on to you.

Thats' funny that I had the same thoughts last night Vala Re: Reckoner.
@Platypus: The lists are missing pillars of flame. I'd swap out the FotF for them to be honest, you need to be interacting with decks you want FotF against earlier to prevent being overrun by the time you could even hit 3 mana.
I also think wolves deserve a place, -1 LM -1 Ash/BTE +2/3 Wolves?
Which decks would that be? Green-based with mana dorks? If so, how about Electrickery? That would take care of Spirit tokens as well, which are my main reason for the FotFs. But Pillars have been missed, that's true.
Thanks for your list, rcwraspy!
So I did some more tweaks:

@Platy: Naya Blitz, Silverblade paladins (aristocrats), mirror ash zealots, nobles that have swung in, etc. I think Alex was saying something about electrickery to blow out Junk rites mana dorks and stuff, haven't tried it myself. Pillar is just a bit more flexible imo because it hits x/2

Checking in, hello redbros! Day 73, had a new lady over last night. She brought the first season of Doctor Who (2005). Nerd alert!
I'm dragging some serious ass at work today now. My night was not restful.
I'm a huge fan of Dr. Who. Just finished "When A Good Man Goes to War."

If Naya Blitz is on the draw Flames of the Firebrand will almost always kill at least a Champion of the Parish and potentially at least 1 other once you have 3 mana open. Some very common lines:
T1you: Land, Noble
T1them: Land, Champion
T2you: land, BTE, Boar, swing Noble put counter
T2them: Land, Boros Elite, grow Champ
T3you: you can either acknowledge that your stuff is already bigger and race them or FotF both their dudes and swing out
And if their T2 was
BTE > Something then Champ is 3/3 and your FotF just became an overcosted spear. So you got a 1:1 instead of a 2:1 or a 3:1.
Only when their T2 is BTE>BTE>X does FotF not hit their Champ on your T3 when you're on the play.

Pillar in hand will always kill a first turn Champ.
It'll still do it when you're on the draw and it'll do it before Champ gets in for 2-3 damage.
Those are both relevant in that MU.

Even though I have no context, I do enjoy the phrase "let's swing that judgmental pendulum back the other way there, kettle" immensely.

I'd post context, but he blocked me on Facebook, lul. Basically he made this post about how he wrote an article that got him all emotionally worked up, so I figured I would initiate some lighthearted jest.
But he's kind of a butthurt little girl, I guess.

I met him at one of the events. I was not impressed with his manners at all.

I don't think he's aware that there's a high likelihood that I'll be the one editing the article in question. If I hated my job more, I'd throw in TONS of gay jokes just to spite him.

Step 1. Edit insensitive gay jokes into his article.
Step 2. Publicly call him out for hypocritically making insensitive gay jokes.
Step 3. Report back here for hilarity.

The plot doth thicken.
After realizing that they were sitting on a mountain of straw men, they decided to simply go into DFE mode. (Delete fucking everything.)
This type of stuff makes me realize why the DCI pays attention to social media when considering Player of the Year now.

Nothing major, actually. They're just making sure I'm going to handle "future work" professionally in lieu of the situation.
Which means I guess I won't be editing his stuff anymore.
