Dies to Removal

I split my sealed pools into 4 piles: Bombs, removal, dudes, tricks, and complete turds then I split those piles by color. Then I determine based on this grid where the strength is. It usually works out that I run whichever color has the best removal + whatever color has the best dues, ties are brok...

I just remembered a vicious seething jimmy rustling offense: LEGGINGS ARE NOT GODDAMN PANTS!!! Maybe it's because i'm gay, but I really don't need to see the contours of your nether regions in sharp relief. Even if a woman is in good shape they look aweful, and because I live in st. Louis it's even ...

Control should be your bitch
mid-range is trouble but you should have the edge preboard
aggro is a coinflip.

Even without recursion pheonix is haste and flyinng, and how often does red get cheapish flyers?

-people who say "literally" when they mean "figuratively". You did not literally eat your weight in pancakes, you may be a fatass, but you didn't do that. Hyperbolic language for emphasis is okay, but that's just moronic. -peanuts in mixed nuts. Peanuts are fine, but they don't g...

Booster draft has all the good things people say about sealed, only it's actually true, and a good player can hedge his odds even without bombs. No bombs in sealed, goodluck, you might be able to get there, but you're probably going to get humped. I say this as a limited player, I go most seasons wi...

SUCH GOOD TIMES KAZE. I'm also firmly in the camp of sealed is an awesome format. I view sealed the same way I view manascrew/flood. It teaches good players how to be better by fighting your way through bad situations(bad sealed pool as example). Remember, you can't win every game of magic or every...

My first thought is madness cards, you are pitching them to jaya anyway. Violent eruption leaps immediately to mind. I have jaya in my kumano deck, and those and that's a great card to pitch to her (I would run ve even without a discard outlet, because divisible damage spells are cool).

DarthStabber

I joined for the red magery, I stayed for the dick jokes.

DarthStabber

So the general opinion is that we play sealed because we "have to"? Good, I'm glad it's not just me. I do have a friend who like the format though. She's not great at constructed (half the time I build decks for her, but she does well with white weenie), and she can't draft well, but for s...

Zur can fetch a lot of quality stuff, I had a lot of luck going steel of the godhead or flickerform first, and then grabbing the other. As a note you can now grab thassa, god of the sea which is pretty badass, or heliod's spear which is really nice.

DarthStabber

Oh gods, dat terrible feel when you remember that the PTQs for PT BotG are SEALED. I've been spending so much time reading for and prepping standard, and some drafting. Does anyone actually like sealed?

DarthStabber

I honestly feel white is probably the strongest on the ground, they have all the tools to come out fast and hard, and keep their steam as they chug through. Last breath is better than it seems, divine verdict is a common and nails everything, their heroic guys all get bigger through out the game, ma...

DarthStabber

If you find the idea that your friends like you to be unacceptable you could run karn liberated , your opponents will probably start off pitching land to it thinking it won't go off, and as you get closer you can start pitching your own stuff. When you finally do have the ultimate ready (probably wo...

Isn't that the Tudors/GoT girl? If so,

Maybe it's because I hang out in too many LGBT spaces, but I read that as "Go Tgirl", which made me kek, and is a very different mental image.

DarthStabber

Never ascribe to sarcasm that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Australians and Canadians can certainly work together. We're both apart of The Crown, after all. The British Empire is alive and well. Right under your noses. Yeah, it's pretty much just us americans and the irish that told the brits to cram it their tea holes, everyone else was much more polite an...

Just because you are obviously beatdown doesn't give you an excuse to overextend into board wipes.

DarthStabber

RSF is in because he's the only thing even close to ashly, and you would run 12 ashlys if you could (now I am thinking about disney's Recess). If you put reckoner in the board you can 4x ashly, 4x freak, and 4x fisty main deck, which is where I seem to be in the minority. Everyone else started at fa...

DarthStabber

That's true, there are some decks that are, game 1, a giant pile of answers and 2 copies of 1 big beater, and I have no idea how to play that as beatdown (unless it's a R/X control deck where you start throwing burn at their face), especially in UB and UW (and especially esper)

DarthStabber

That's what smash effects are for.

Argument is the perfect time to strike with maze's end In response, activate Alchemist's Refuge , cast Amulet of Vigor . Resolves, cast Door to Nothingness . Amulet trigger, untap Door. Show you the door? If you have that much mana ham, I've already finished the race. Nice try though, you probably ...

That's what [card]tatsumasa, the dragon's fang[/card] is for.

DarthStabber

Elvish visionary was a consideration, though he ended up losing to coiling oracle who lost out to cursecatcher, who was recently replaced by judge's familiar. A first turn play frequently wrong foots people (not expecting from counter control), and if i can make people play around my one drop's coun...

DarthStabber

I remember the years of the faeries, some people made "control" variants that were still very fast.

DarthStabber

Yeah I've never actually run godo, but making jaya ballard a 5/5 trampler is immensely satifying.

DarthStabber

Contagion clasp can go in just about anything, it's colorless removal/debuff, and I'll bet that almost every deck can use proliferate to some end. [card]tatsumasa, the dragon's fang[/card] is a significant bump for equipment, and after a board wipe it can be a 5/5 flyer. In what little edh play i'v...

Of course, we made a flurry of testicle jokes, and this is the forum for dick jokes. How silly of me.

Hero of bladehold or signal pest. Never underestimate signal pest.

4 architects of thought AND a memory adept plus an extra in the board?!?!?!?!?! ZOMGWTFBBQ, somebody either didn't remember the new legend rule, or they have biggest jace boner anyone has had since worldwake. And 3 thassas? I'm sure there's good reasons for all of the numbers there, but I don't see ...

DarthStabber

the worse part of the master of waves deck is they can chump and stall and then still play elspeth....

If this is a real deck then electrickery becomes a sideboard option. It doesn't get the master but at least it gets the waves.

DarthStabber

heads up, master of wave is really fucking annoying I miss ghostfire , and keldon megaliths , but at least he still dies to mutavault and hammer tokens, and blue permanents is still nearly an oxymoron. I think I actully fear him more in legacy, because he vials in easily in fish, and with multiple ...

Women are my favorite kind of women.

But men are the best kind of women, they don't get pregnant.

I Why are we even talking about credit in the first place? I had a decklist very similar to what we are all bitching about before I started talking about it on mtgs (which led me here after clicking the link Z's sig). It's not like it was an inobvious deck from the get go. Run good shit with lots of...

If you aren't think about it at least once per round it's not enough.

My main edh deck, I have been polishing this turd for a while, every newb builds an elf deck, mine just never went away, and after 10 years i've got the pointy ears right about where I want them. The deck became edh about the time of ravnica when I became aware of the format. It started under the le...

This is one of the most important things you will ever read in your magic playing career.

DarthStabber

But wouldn't people wonder why you had one of those Dune worms following you everywhere?

Some of us are growers not showwers, and as tightly as that particular method binds your junk, growing just isn't going to happen.

Devotion to balls?

WINNER!!!
