Dies to Removal

Josh, I'm testing your R/g deck. It fails against the Ben Stark special. Not trying to retaliate against what's been said. My coworker and I have been discussing your article all day and we've been playtesting over a bottle of scotch. I stopped to take a smoke break to check DtR and, well, that's w...

Tom Martell "And win or lose, I would walk away not thinking that I have failed you all, but that nobody failed me" is my favorite line, suggesting that total strangers will fail him if it doesn't get funded. March 24 at 4:14pm · Like · 9 Tom Martell Be a pal. http://www.gofundme.com/pv45v...

unless you somehow didn't expect people to go 'this guy is panhandling for a magic tournament' and not make snarky comments.

what? I found the thread funny.

If any of you are friends with mascoli on FB, the thread on Khaos is hilarious.

here's another little nugget, LP is 100% correct, SiS gets charged bc people pay it. It's a minor annoying bookkeeping effort that's worth like 1-2% of what the TO's will make from it. With that said, GP prices keep going up and up and attendance is still ridiculous and no GP run by a decent company...

jsilv

as someone who works as an event coordinator for a major company, the last two pages are pure lolz. the idea that any one company is big enough to split off from WOTC is just pure fantasy.

This weekend I learned that Mythics still poison limited.Thanks Rosewater. Atarka is unbeatable and just back breaking on T5 after T4 Explosive Veg. I felt bad every time I did it. Well, isn't that just a function of a sealed prerelease? I mean 75% of games in my prereleases devolved into "who...

How to make any non-Cube/Special Limited format better in one simple step. You can follow along at home!

Step 1) Open pack and remove rare slot.

You successfully made your draft format a better place. Yay!

Bonus Step) Add another uncommon into slot.

Bonus Step 2) JUST FUCKING ROTO DRAFT.

jsilv

I mean, would you want them at rare instead? Stupid dumb giant sixes and sevens are just a part of Magic now. Duneblast Dragon is only at rare and better than practically everything else in the set.

Kaiji is Yu Gi Oh season 0 for adults. While that sounds stupid as fuck, that is a glowing review of Kaiji. If you have not watched it (or the predecessor show, which escapes me right now), go watch it. Both series are great aside. Even the 3+ episode long "powering up" sequences about &q...

jsilv

Start rattling off anime people. I need something to watch.

Kaiji is great, with an ugly ass art style. Madoka Magica is the last really good anime I've seen. Passable comedy stuff was The Devil is a Part Timer.

Two tweets say he got caught with a Whisperwood Elemental in his lap. That's all the info I've seen, no idea how reliable. I poked him on messenger, but yeah, he's probably getting fired and suspended if that's actually what happened (but who knows). It's tough to get DQ'd nowadays.

jsilv

hotline miami 2 is great and you guys love torturing yourselves so you should play it

jsilv

Mardu Scout is so fucking bad.

jsilv

Feel free to humor us with what you'd like to replace it with.

jsilv

Let's put it another way, none of the Standard decks are really good, so as long as you play a reasonable looking base you'll be fine.

jsilv

Yeah, it was the list Not a Robot posted. fffreakslittlebro recently played a newer list though.

I tried the Mardu build that 7-0'd the PTQ and like it a little more than my own. I'm either playing it or Abzan Control (because Abzan Control has no truly terrible matches ATM).

jsilv

Narset is a PW that's absurd when neutral or ahead assuming you don't brick for the rest of the game. It's less match-up dependent than Ashiok was and even though I think some of the gushing is overlooking that this card isn't a slam dunk 4-of, it's only a tad bit worse than Jace, AOT and miles ahea...

jsilv

Josh I'm so glad you talked me out if replying to every comment after Cruise was banned, though I think the guy saying I should be fired and that Hatebears would rule the format deserved a response. A few are special. But yeah, I didn't want you to waste the next few months of your life replying to...

jsilv

He has an opinion and expresses it openly. Hence the hate. Unless you're big timing it, you can't have an open opinion on a popular topic without getting a shitton of backlash. Hell even then it may not save you. PV's inbox was full of illiterate replies and rants about Modern ever since he wrote hi...

Jsilv - 27 lands? It's 25, the two Plains aren't in there. I was c/p'ing a RW list and just editing a little bc the decks are effectively the same except one has Crackling Doom and the other doesn't. I edited it now. @kaits: Elspeth is prbs better than Sorin since they both die to Glare anyway, so ...

Any red deck not running Outpost Siege is doing it wrong.

ub control and uw heroic suck and will always suck, there Kaits said it

btw, not joking, never team draft with lsv. he will doom you.

Scrubbed. Lost to Holliday team because my partners punted by not listening to me. G3 round 8 we have four or five guys out. A flyer a manifest a morph and a heart piercer. They tap out play artarka, the 6-4 double strike Dragon. We have godamn sarkhan in hand to kill it and be way ahead, but team ...

jsilv

The Boros deck is pretty good right now. Pardee time tends not to pick unplayable garbage decks and his record with the deck irl tournaments is like 22-5. Basically every deck Partytime or Holiday play can be guaranteed to have a pretty good Forests match.

I'd enjoy hearthstone more if my Zoo skillz hadn't deteriorated to shit. Couldn't get out of rank fucking nine four x hours. Switched to mech mage and ranked up like nothing. Can't play Zoo either now, though I watch some legends stream it and it looks fine. But then they run into Warrior w/ War Ax...

jsilv

hearthstone is awesome post expansion. for... 2 months I figure. Good alternative to not spew millions on Cube. Can't even focus long enough to play DE's anymore, fuck MODO.

R2 a guy forgot to pay for his slaughter pact. He drew, and I was like, "so you lose" (I was dead on board and him forgetting was my only out) and he was like "are you really going to be a dick about it?" I let him off with it, but don't think it's a dick move if I didn't. Opini...

jsilv

But legacy and modern are the same now.

4 Young Pyromancer and 4 Treasure Cruise won the Modern and Legacy GP's today.

BUT MODERN AND LEGACY... THEY'RE DIFFERENT?!?!?

jsilv

Jeskai and Mono Red are both very well situated against the deck, esp. the former if you can pack some actual countermagic in there. If you play a deck then could already beat the heroic aspect of it, then it's just a matter of making sure you run enough ways to not snap lose to the Ascendancy combo...

jsilv

Trailblazer is a good card, esp. against red where you can actually get raced pretty easily with a slower hand.
