a welcome sight at the top of the standings zeman.
get em.

Went 0-3 drop at the 2k, played mediocrely and couldn't find keepable hands. Lost 2-1 Dega (1 mana from killing him g3), 2-1 loss mono U (mulligan to oblivion g3) and lost B/R 2-0. Maybe more to come after I've slept, though fon't know how much I can say. Never drew Pyrewild once. There's still a to...

I'd echo running AiR build if on a budget, it's very good (and I pick that style every now and then as a wake up call to my playgroup if I ever feel they're gettig soft to it ;) . Beginning my travel to this big tournament (my good friend top 8ed today vs 309 other players which was awesome), and wi...

LaZer- Playing a £2k in London, UK.

Can't find a Rod of Ruin, so I'll have to see if the singles dealer brought full sets.
They had 310 people for today's PTQ, so a decent chance of a pretty big turnout tomorrow. Don't know whether there's any coverage though.

FullofGravy

Ended up 3-1 last night.

Win vs RG Devotion
Loss vs BR Aggro
Win vs UR Devotion
Win vs BR Aggro

Won multiple games with the singleton Dragon by itself.

FullofGravy

currently 2-1 with 1x Dragon in the main. Lost to B/R when I drew more lands than spells both games. Including hitting Mountains with Chandra each time.

FullofGravy

Yeah, I've been hearing a lot of talk about Golg Charm here.

I've found Wear//Tear backbreaking here (getting Esper with it is the best feeling), so IMO it's a valid choice. Certainly solid to deal with a lifelink cloak.

FullofGravy

Zooligan - I believe the hexproof matchup had been defined as harder; fundamentally it's rather different.

Ultimately Esper is playing 2-3 MD Devour Flesh etc. so I figure the deck will get crushed fairly reliably by a lot of the decks at the tournaments.

FullofGravy

Assault is OK but I'd rather spend a slot on a more powerful card with wider applications than it.

FullofGravy

resolving a Chandra and pushing to ultimate can also be real given they only have D Sphere to answer her.

gravy + fries is our standard drunkfood
Are you Canadian too?

UK brah (made a vocab concession)

D+T is a fine choice of deck to pick up Helios imo.

I remember it seming like most game losses came from failure to be able to cast Advent.

Like positive winrates but some those were people misplaying against Voice etc.

that thread should have a health disclaimer.

Also, hi.

FullofGravy

yeah you want to be firebirding or removaing something for your 1/2 to get through I feel.

FullofGravy

G/W is awful, I tested it for approximately a day before laughing at the manabase and selling the cards.

Pretty sure there's going to be enough green midrange to be on Zealot/Pyrewild this weekend, I think.

FullofGravy

You're English too LaZerBurn? Haha.
I lost to U/W Cuneo godhand in game 3, still rolled him game 2 with quick start. Hopefully Boros Charms/Skullcracks will be good enough this weekend versus that.

Primer on how to stop the Winter Orb goblin EDH player ragequitting when you Memnarch their commander on turn 4?

(true story happened the other day -.-)

FullofGravy

Haha, netdecking comments will be amusing this weekend when I travel to the capital for a £2k. :p Anyways I should have a better sideboard this week. Notably though seen a lot of people tracking down MU Devotion cards in the country very recently. Still not sure whether to find space for that Rod of...

FullofGravy

Weird day went 4-3 pretty tired for full rundown but will post results (R/W - 65players) W vs. R/G Devotion 2-0 L vs. Esper Control 2-1 (missed very probable on board win in game 3) W vs. Grixis 2-0 W vs. Devotion Red 2-1 W vs. 73 card mirror match 2-0 L vs. Esper Control 2-0 L vs. U/W Control 2-1 (...

FullofGravy

Played the same Pyro White list again today went 5-1 over two tournaments, only loss was 2-1 to mono blue as I am missing the Fanatics from my sideboard, will have those on Sunday for sure. beat 2x GW midrange - Easy wins, lost one game because stuck on Mountain/Mutavault vs. Centaur Healer and frie...

FullofGravy

Yeah, when I was on BWR I had great success with the Collector, but being on the other end is much less fun. And yeah I was chatting to the BR player after (who was on our WMC team) and he was going on a lot about not being able to find things like Anger of the Gods (he did g1) and I made it clear t...

FullofGravy

3-1 today with standard YP Walter White build. -Beat all in red heroic, game 1 he god drew me, but games 2 + 3 Chandra + Shocks annihilated all his guys. -beat RG ramp 2-1, nothing much to say, fine aggro starts in both games I won. -lost to B/W 2-1, was very human-heavy with plenty of Soldiers, Cap...

FullofGravy

I think Boros Charm is going to be reasonable if people are going to be playing something like the Naya control list, as they seem to be geared toward using Anger/Mortars overload to take us out of the game. And obviously Verdict decks.

FullofGravy

Whats up man, enjoy your stay! I was the [Soundtrack] leader until our clans demise. See you around pinkfloyd right? cheers Are you full of gravy? I have to know. I definitely eat a lot of gravy :munch: it comes from a random old rhyme with my name that kinda just stuck as an online name thingy.

FullofGravy

Just acquired all the new cards I need. feels good to be aggro again. There are so many Jaces running around I don't really feel comfortable spending slots on Assemble. I wish I could though. But yeah everyone defecting to mono black is pretty awesome :) if enough people modify their deck choices se...

FullofGravy

Got it, derped for a second.

Caryatid really isn't a big deal.

sure thing.

For me it's better to identify what could possibly be problematic and then check off whether it actually matters rather than walk in blind. So thanks for the note.

FullofGravy

I just tell them to go ahead and pick up the deck and win an event with it..because if they don't then clearly that's just embarrassing themselves under their own incorrect logic. Other than that, you just gotta play the game though. Kinda sucks though. I guess when it comes to people that i don't t...

FullofGravy

Pardon me sounding like an idiot, but what is RSF? Shred Freak. (Embarrassing outside Fanatic of Mogis) And I'll have to test the Boros too. My only concern is that it's the Caryatid-heavy draws which are quite tough without either Jester/Chainwalker to press through. I miss having a home for Ghor-...

FullofGravy

Yeah, luckily although we have a lot of control aficionados here they're pretty chill. They'll troll me all the time about my constant aggro choices but i win a lot (especially compared to the other aggro players) so it's all good

FullofGravy

Hi guys, I finally joined up here. Some may know me from mtgs as mirrorentity* (sidenote: I used to moderate clans ofc, and actually enjoyed chatting with a number of you guys in the fires thread. I was pretty much in the throes of inactivity when shit hit the fan (about 2 weeks before i actually re...

Hi, first post here. Really enjoying the quality of conversation here compared to...other places. I played R/x aggro and variants for the vast majority of last Standard season, top8ed PTQ with R/G, top 8ed WMCQ with Naya Blitz etc. After a bit of a break it's time for me to focus on R aggro again.
