Dies to Removal

SCG today! I'm on some painkillers from a recent surgery (Fuck tonsils!) But' feeling pretty good. We had a huge FNM 40+ people because alot of folks are int own for the scg Open. At FNM I lost the mirror in round 1. I mulled to 5 game 1, won game 2 off the back of eidolon, and had double eidolon ga...

That's missing the point. We beat aggro, that's a reason to play burn. The problem is that the rest of the meta adapts to beat aggro, and we get hit by the splash hate.

I'm split on what to play in the scg open. I'm playing burn in Legacy but don't know if i should play control or burn in the Standard. This si my current burn list. I've gone towards Eidolon and fewer shocks than the Pyromancer version: [deck] Spells 1 Shock 3 Chained to the Rocks 4 Skullcrack 4 Bor...

This is what I'm sleeving up for the SCG Legacy Open in Portland. First time I've played the deck in person, but I've won a bunch with Modern Burn and understand who to target with my Lava Spikes, so hopefully I'll be okay. Then I just have to decide between UW/Esper and WR Burn for the standard eve...

Won my game day with Rw Burn. Not a super tuned list but it's been performing well: [deck]4 Chandra's Phoenix 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel 2 Spark Trooper 4 Skullcrack 4 Boros Charm 4 Warleader's Helix 1 Shock 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 3 Searing Blood 2 Chained to the Rocks 1 Wild Guess 3 Mutav...

The statements about it getting upgraded if he makes top 8 are in reference to what happened at a different GP. At that GP they caught someone cheating, but weren't sure he was cheating at first. They DQ'd him 2 rounds later once they confirmed that he was cheating. That's completely different than ...

Lost rounds 10, 11, 12. Pretty brutal.

We chatted about it after; I was killing him that turn. Meh. Damn, so rugged. Just keep burninating. Your breakers are awesome and you're in great position. :flame: :flame: :flame: This is the top half of the field (from dailymtg after R10): Esper Control 11 RG Monsters 9 Orzhov Control 7 Mono-Blac...

Darthsaber: I don't think that's illegal because it's intrinsically unmarked. I have opponents shuffle my deck like that all the time, and the worst it is is annoying. I'm pretty sure a judge would stop the game, fix the cards and continue.

That was such an awesome game too. I really want to know how it would shake out. His opponent on 7, with a 7 counter jace and an azorius charm in hand along with other unknown cards. James taps 3 for viashino with phoenix on board, leaving up mountain and vault. Not sure of james whole hand, but he ...

Huey Jensen recently beat my friend in a GP Vancouver bubble match. My friend asked Huey what would happened if he used domri to fight a ghor-clan rampager against huey's 3/4 Archangel of thune, asking if the life gain would save the archangel. Huey stonefaces, and says, "The archangel trigger ...

... There's a pretty big opportunity to cheat if you're allowed to shuffle your sb in upside down. This is obviously a mistake, but there's a good reason that the rule exists. I'm sure Z isn't thinking that he shouldn't have gotten that game loss.

Awww Z.... Shuffling your sideboard in upside down is a pretty classic mistake. That's the problem with playing too much MTGO. Seems like the judges made the right call and he'll move forward from here. No sweat. Shake it off and win out. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a random pile of cards. That might ...

We have any ins with the coverage team in Melbourne? I'm thinking Z should get approximately 9 feature matches.

I haven't been active since this thread was on salvation (I have the second to last salvation post ever :p). On top of that, I'm now the enemy, having just won my FNM with UW Control (10-0 games). That being said, came out to give BIG UPS to Zeman at 7-0! That dude rocks. He welcomed me into salvati...

Anger + lifebane zombie is not my favorite combo. Still, both are individually awesome in the deck and should be mained. Yeah, it's true that you can fly over or just suck it up and spear him. Still, control couldn't care less about reckoner and BR midrange doesn't have s single thing he stops. That...

If I'm going to be playing a red list in this standard I want it to be a list that takes big steamy dumps on Boros Reckoner. This makes me think that BR midrange list is sick. it DGAF whether your opponent has creatures, and if those creatures are problematic it removes them. You can bring in discar...

Khaospawn's sig is just gratuitous. But Redthirsts, it zooms in and lets you see the little heart above Chandra's bounteous buttocks. it's so romantic.

HEY. I said I was sorry. For some reason I couldn't access Diestoremoval at work whereas mtgsalvation worked fine so I fell out of tough. Mono-red is a p good deck post rotation, but other than chandra's phoenix and young pyromancer none of the cards excite me. BRW and BR midrange however are fuckin...

DAMNIT. Long time no see y'all, but DAMNIT. I did some pretty smooth criminal tradings coming into rotation. I loaded up on 5 Jace architect of thought when it was 12, now it's sitting at 21. I have my 3 sphinx's. See my problem? I didn't pick up chandra when it was at $10 and now I'd feel like a ch...
