Like a lot of cards, they're not good or bad, just different to the commonly accepted 'wisdom'. Are cards like this frequently bad? Yes. But that is because they don't fit into most traditional builds. In some decks however, they're basically Searing Blaze or better ~ even if I "2-for-1" m...

I do listen sometimes.

Thanks Helios.

Good evening, everyone! On the subject of Modern, I wish they would push in the direction of making that more popular. I enjoy Modern a hell of a lot more than Standard. Playing virtually any deck you want is pretty nice. Just not as large a playerbase. Few things are better than hearing late the n...

zemanjaski

I could see -1 Loyalist, +1 Dynacharge, but the deck is actually serious.

Crazy like a fox.

zemanjaski

Block Constructed is pretty good at the moment.

zemanjaski

Yeah; I think I really want Liliana, some hand disruption and Tragic Slip; will have a think and get back. Ideally we need 12+ effects that want to be in the GY (for looting to be either cycle plus scry 2 or straight draw 2) and we're basically there already, so the core concept looks viable.

zemanjaski

Few things are better than hearing late the next day "I'm still sore". I know. When you said that to me this morning, I got so excited. :trolo: As long as it is later the next day and not exactly the next morning - getting a 2-for-1 is important because that's how you get ahead. See kids?...

/this is going to be a workspace area for a variant I want to work on. Introduction - why this deck? - why now? Core Concepts and Strategy - the perfect curve - the perfect mana base - redundancy - little synergies, big victories 4 Ash Zealot 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Burning Tree Emissary 4 Firefirst Stri...

It sees fringe play in Modern and Legacy. Its just that the sort of decks that wants it (RDW or White Weenie) aren't good in their respective formats. It used to be a 3-of in the mana-sink variants of legacy burn, but there have been enough reasonable cards printed in the last few years to oust it (...

zemanjaski

I definitely have Annihilator triggers though.

Few things are better than hearing late the next day "I'm still sore".

zemanjaski

The idea is naya blitz, but with playable mana. Also, you get to play Reckoners, which is HUGE in the pseudo-mirror.

zemanjaski

I should add some Vexing Devils!!

zemanjaski

Ok I have been drinking. Caught me red handed.

zemanjaski

Nice smilie jackass.

zemanjaski

Want to try this on the weekend if I'm sufficiently sober (or not, the deck may not require it): [deck] 4 Ash Zealot 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Burning Tree Emissary 4 Firefist Striker 4 Gore-House Chainwalker 4 Legion Loyalist 4 Lightning Mauler 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Stromkirk Noble 1 Dynacharge 4 Searing Spe...

I don't think dega midrange looks or plays anything like an Aristocrats deck. Also, the deck only has 2 aristocrats in it!

zemanjaski

Looks like a worse version of the Dega Midrange deck I posted a week ago. It isn't really an Aristocrats deck though.

This is why I can't post on MTGS anymore.

zemanjaski

I experimented with a 4 colour version, featuring Lingering Souls and Tidehallow Sculler. Will try to dig up my notes.

zemanjaski

What is there to argue? The card is amazing if you have around 11 or more effects that benefit from placement in the GY.

zemanjaski

You can't realistically beat a BTE opening when on the draw.

zemanjaski

It sees a lot of casual play.

zemanjaski

Sign me up. Need to get LP in as well.

Edit. I just have fond memories of the Mono Red midrange deck with 4 Hound of Griselbrand, 4 Mortars and 4 Crucible that GW could never beat. Good times.

zemanjaski

How is GW aggro doing these days?

Oh.

zemanjaski

Yeah, I need to watch how conclusive I tend to be.

zemanjaski

I do like a lot of the themes in the deck. MASS creatures, including a lot of bloodrush ones + Domri might be a thing if you're expecting a lot of midrange or control.

zemanjaski

Zombies are NOT good right now. BA was much better before rotation; it is garbage now. People still run it because apparently no one who plays the deck shows the slightest innovation or ability to build beyond netdecking ~ although the card was good in the threaten+sac variant, I will give it that.

zemanjaski

As long as he doesn't write an article where he claims "hitting RR or GG on curve every game was no problem!" I don't mind.

zemanjaski

That mana base is AMBITIOUS.

zemanjaski

I don't consider SCG results as highly as the results of my last trip to the bathroom.

zemanjaski

5th place guy with 4 muggings, firefist strikers.

<-PROPHET

...

then again his list has slaughterhorns.... 2 kessig wolfruns on 19 land... and 4 skullcracks in the side <_<

5th place of what?

zemanjaski

I'm trying to just go one day of the ham challenge. I'm fucking horny, but the lady friend will be over tomorrow and damn how do I love blowing a huge load in her. But my dumbass wants to jerk off to some porn. I have no will power. Must resist. It not only gets easier over time, but it significant...

zemanjaski

I was testing a 25 land version, but I know what you mean. I was leaning on Dreadbore, Mortars and Temblor for early removal. Looting, Souls and Unburial Rites for the CA engine. Liliana as well. You certainly get to play a LOT of powerful cards.

zemanjaski

Cyan is not as smart as he thinks he is. The reasoning PSully gave, which I agree with is that on an empty board, or in topdeck mode, Walking Corpse is a million times better. Walking Corpse also increased the amount of draws where you went 2 power guy into 2 power guy, which is ironically a MUCH be...

zemanjaski

The line is "Hi, I'm Zemanjaski and I am the best thing that hasn't happened to you yet". Don't exchange your name for mine, because mine is a brand and it works.

Dega Midrange actually looks pretty damn good IMO.

zemanjaski

I really hate blood artist

zemanjaski

Not only is BA underpowered, but it significantly increases the number of 'do-nothing' draws the deck has, and a lack of proactivity is deadly against the aggro decks of the format. There is a reason PSully played WALKING CORPSE over BA

Z:

I haven't been in the gym in 2 weeks, I've been sick and moving into a new place. My numbers are probably at 0

Thats OK, same as the number of times I got laid last week. Rough patches all around.

zemanjaski

What are your numbers at Ham? If you're having any issues with recovery or loading let me know and we can figure out a solution. > Christen; the Dega midrange decks with Gideon are WAY WAY worse than the versions with Obzedat and Aurelia :( The only people advocating for the Gideon version are Kamah...
