Dies to Removal

RaidaTheBlade

Oh god, horrible thought. What if mtgo had integrated voice chat? The bitching would never end e.e

RaidaTheBlade

Heh, and now I want you to start streaming again even more e.e

RaidaTheBlade

I don't own any ffs, lol. It's actually been the card I've had the most trouble getting (don't have plans to use it atm, but I like have a playset of each potential card for testing). Even several stores in the area are sold out. Same for getting more then the 2 skullcracks I currently have e.e If I...

RaidaTheBlade

Somebody challenged you?

Also, I kinda wanna see Z slap Kamahl down...

Actually, can that be a new show when you start streaming again? "Z finds random asshat noobs on mtgs and shuts them the fuck up"?

RaidaTheBlade

The thought behind bte was sorta what I've seen you discuss on how it messes up 1-for-1 removal. I also helps speed the deck up since I'm running reckoner and only 4 1-drops. I'm also not above going turn three bte into phoenix, so I include that when I consider targets for it. Anyway, if I dropped ...

RaidaTheBlade

I guess what I meant is what events did you play that gave pro points

RaidaTheBlade

I'd love some feedback on my potential fnm deck e.e [deck] Creatures: 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Ash Zealot 4 Burning-Tree Emissry 4 Young Pyromancer 4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Boros Reckoner Burn: 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 4 Shock Thighs: 2 Chandra, Pyromaster Land: 21 Mountain 1 Mutavault Sideboard: 3 Pea...

RaidaTheBlade

Z, this is proly a stupid question, but what pro events have you done in the past/can I see archives of them for inspiration? Also, when are you gonna start streaming again? Also, to everyone (but especially Z cause you are smarticles :P) I can't decide between making my deck for FNM closer to devot...

A U/B MoW deck does sound pretty scary o.o As far as devotion decks being 'fragile', I think that they can be, but it's really not a huge amount of it. Hose-card wise, I'd say Mono-U has the most potential hoses to be thrown at it. Mono-Red is the most single-idead, but it also has the most potentia...

RaidaTheBlade

I actually ran 4x truefire in my r/w aggro last standard. Forgot to mention that earlier e.e Also, to be frank, before I found dtr and you guys, I didn't ever really notice anything wrong with sally's competitive forums... Now it seems like an obvious pit of idiocy. I thought you could oly post in c...

RaidaTheBlade

And truefire was so annoying in draft, I grabbed them thinking they were guildmages, and I was sorely disappointed when putting my deck together. Truefire actually did massive amounts of work for me at the gatecrash prerelease. Was one of the best 3 cards I had in it. Of course, sealed is different...

RaidaTheBlade

Yeah, most of your points seem pretty much solid to me

I still don't use him, but that's just cause I have an aggro heavy meta, so weird just works better

RaidaTheBlade

Khaos, try looking into Gemini Syndrome. They're a pretty new metal band that's actually really really good

RaidaTheBlade

I personally respect how powerful Satyr is, but I don't like it from a viewpoint of my preferred playstyle.

I tend to run the weird instead, for extra devotion, and because of its utility in such a variety of matchups.

Redthirst, I find myself liking you more and more every day.

RaidaTheBlade

Looking at your list, I'm of two minds. It needs more burn, I'm fairly set on that thought. Whether it be magma jets for scry, or mortars to take advantage of the nykthos ramp for easier overload, I dunno. I'd almost say either drop the satyr or the shred-freak for the burn. It'd fit with the slight...

RaidaTheBlade

My personal quirks on creature choices aside, my only real issue with your list would be the land. 19 moutains and 3 mutavaults seems way too 'unstable' or irregular to maintain x4 reckoners in the mainboard, and to be able to expect to play them on curve (if you're aiming to, which is usually the c...

RaidaTheBlade

I mean, there was an okay amount of everything, but, well... Alright, maybe a bit of background is needed here e.e I live in a smallish town about 30 minutes outside Atlanta GA. There's no lgs in my town, and the closest one is about 45 minutes away. There's about 3 or 4 roughly that distance away t...

RaidaTheBlade

-sigh- that sounds amazing o.o
Now if only I had the money required for a nykthos playset, a stormbreath dragon playset, etc, etc, etc e.e

RaidaTheBlade

If you're going to run Pyromancer, then you'll want the Shocks to get the most value out of him. You can stall a lot of decks with a Pyromancer on the field and a Shock in hand. It's also good for when you need a Phoenix back. That being said, Pyromancer doesn't feel right for this build. I can't a...

RaidaTheBlade

I hate asking this here, cause it almost feels like spam :gonk: But would people please be willing to take a look at the build I had ruminating following my gamedays yesterday? I posted it in the (now seemingly almost abandoned[comparitevely speaking]) devotion thread, but have had no feedback :( Th...

RaidaTheBlade

That is beautiful, Ham o.o

RaidaTheBlade

I posted up my gameday writeup in the devotion red forum. I could post it here too (minus the decklists) if anybody really cares enough

RaidaTheBlade

Gameday reports! List going into the first gameday: [deck] Lands 22 Mountain Creatures 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Ash Zealot 4 Frostburn Weird 1 Rakdos Shred-Freak 4 Boros Reckoner 2 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Fanatic of Mogis 2 Ember Swallower Spells 4 Lightning Strike 4 Magma Jet 2 Shock Other 1 Chandra, Best Ca...

RaidaTheBlade

I'm starting to play around with a deck idea halfway between pyro-red and devo-red... Slowing down and removing 1-drops, for young pyro, and upping the burn package to 12 main. (And then either keeping 2 chandra 1 hammer, or going 3 chandra). I kinda want to, cause I noticed how often I seemed to be...

RaidaTheBlade

Question.
What do y'all think is the best build of pyro for an unknown meta?

I mean both 'should it be monored or pyros' and I'd be grateful for a decklist or two to think on. I'm basically trying to decide if it's worth the extra money to convert over from devo red...

RaidaTheBlade

I just went 3-1 and got second place twice at two gameday events in a row. I'm tired atm, but in the morning, I'll post up a write up with whaever I remember e.e

RaidaTheBlade

Also, you know what feels great? Double peak eruptioning an american control player in the same match. Mwahahahah

RaidaTheBlade

(thought I posted this earlier, but guess it didn't go)

i just finished game day 2. I got second. again.

So double second places. You know what? I'm kinda okay with it. It sucks to not aget a mat, but I've already got the chandra m14 gameday one, so...

still makes me feel good

RaidaTheBlade

-sigh- Finished 2nd place in the first game day.
Just finished round 3 of game-day 2, was 2-0 going into it, but lost 1-2 this round to a rakdos aggro, cause fucked up and kept a stupid damn hand. Best I can hope for now is 2nd again. I'm really freaking pissed at myself.

RaidaTheBlade

I lost to the mono-u devo 0-2 e.e silly as fuck

Might have gone better, but game 2 I had to mull to five cause 5 land then noland.

Gonna try to play in gameday2

RaidaTheBlade

ohgodwishmeluck

I'm 3-0 right now at a 16-person game day. The two possible opponents are a r/g ramp and a mono-u devo MoW (master of whores).

I've got electrickeries in the sideboard, but I'm still REALLY worried. So close.... really wanna get that mat

RaidaTheBlade

I need some help on my sideboard plan... What the heck do I do against mono-u devo?
I've got mizziums and electrickeries in mthe sideboard, but I'm not sure what to take out... Do I trade out for some f my other burn, do I drop my 1-drops and go slower? Wat do? ;-;

RaidaTheBlade

I'm so screwed at game day, cause all but 1 of my phoenixes, and my chanda are in the mail. Not to mention msot of my sideboard (peak eruptions and skullcracks...) I'm having to cobble together a reasonable list, though it leaves me slightly slower then i'd like, and also a weird sideboard... I have...

RaidaTheBlade

I decided to copy Darthstabber, and gave the blasphemy thing a go. Hail Chandra, Full of Fury, The Flames are with thee. Blessed art thou among Planeswalkers, and blessed is the bird of thy womb, the Phoenix. Holy Chandra, Wielder of Fire, pray for us pyromancers now, and at the hour of combustion. ...

RaidaTheBlade

I actually tend to prefer just using text ones e.e
If I remember, I actually tend to disable them in my posts. I just usually forget...

RaidaTheBlade

STOP JUDGING ME!!!!!

-runs away crying- ;P

RaidaTheBlade

It's an emoticon, just sorta means that I'm confused/out of it... The e's are supposed to represent confused eyes... -shrugs- Don't look at me, I didn't invent it, I just use it

RaidaTheBlade

I'm not sure WHAT set to get... I wanna get the Esper one out of principle, cause I run an esper edh already, but the Naya one has a few cards I'd really like for me red/white edh e.e

RaidaTheBlade

I wanna try and grab a playmat tommorrow myself, but my phoenixes, chandra, peak eruptions, and skullcracks dont come in until next week ;-;
