Dies to Removal

RaidaTheBlade

I know this is a slight bit off-subject and that I haven't followed the burn deck a huge amount, but I had a thought. I remember MDU having a test list for dega/barely-dega burn post-spoiler but pre-release. What is the viability of that? We saw one of the gp top 8 lists splash black for toil//troub...

RaidaTheBlade

Should have, but nah. I tend to try to not tilt people too bad. I don't slow roll for instance, I usually just do enough to kill them, and don't salt it by showing them how extra dead they were e.e

RaidaTheBlade

Heh, I've seen him play it... Atually, he's why I decided to try hearthstone to begin with. TB is awesome :D It was just really cool cause it wasn' like that deck where that's the point. It just was so even that it got to that point. That said, fatigue didn't come in to play really. We had both only...

RaidaTheBlade

Just had the stupidest game, in all the best ways. It was back-and-forth, each of us having the advantage at different points. And at the very end of it all... http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Raidatheblade/Screenshot2014-03-25at95933PM_zps8bc8d389.png We had both cast LITERALLY EVERY CARD IN ...

RaidaTheBlade

If you think that list is crap (and I wouldn't much blame you. Again, my excuse is that it was an experiment), then we could also try and look back a bit and work some on a previous version. The list I ran at gameday and a fnm or two to some success could bare some revisiting. That was the one befor...

RaidaTheBlade

I for one am inclined to start over from scratch... I find myself agreeing, it's why I've been mia for a little while. I wasn't sure what to do with the deck... I threw together a quick build a few minutes ago, which is really rough but sorta shows my thoughts. I'd like to get back to a more normal...

RaidaTheBlade

Well, I'm a beginner (I just started about 2/3 days ago), but why the heck not!

RaidaTheBlade

I just started playing hearthstone a few days ago, and am enjoying it so far. Playing a mage, cause I like how it plays, and I'm too lazy to try and unlock all the stuff for the other classes, though I am tempted to try warrior... Anyway, I went up against a warlock just now, and it was quite funny....

RaidaTheBlade

I'm still on the 24 land setup myself (it seems to work better for me. I haven't had many problems mana-wise), but if you're on 25 land and want 2 vaults, I personally would go: 8 Mountain 5 Swamp 4 Blood Crypt 4 Temple of Malice 2 Rakdos Guildgate 2 Mutavault You could also have a 7/6 split on the ...

RaidaTheBlade

I use a deathadder 3500. It's pretty amazing

This = a good morning

RaidaTheBlade

The boston made me really want to put on one of my records to wake p to this morning,for some reason...

Oh well, now I've got Nazareth on, so I count that as a good mornin'

RaidaTheBlade

I would think that getting the counters would be easy, given the scenario you just gave.
Discarding cards with mind over matter would put the counters on it.

RaidaTheBlade

Let me know when you finish. I need a book buddy to discuss feels with

RaidaTheBlade

Also, anyone who's into Fantasy novels should check out Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive - it's definitely some of the best stuff I've read. I knew there was a reason I like you people! Sanderson is currently my favorite author, pretty much. And I must echo the recommendation. Any of his ...

RaidaTheBlade

Also that praise from MDU made me tickle. And giggle. And smile. Thanks.

RaidaTheBlade

Any thoughts on your list from the match vs Z? Going back to cacklers but cutting shocks for a whip and a chandra, with the land at a 7/7 mountain swamo split, with no mutas.. Then instead of devours, a second whip and fourth exava side. I see why you did it, cacklers make our games vs control bette...

RaidaTheBlade

More like TITomi Tanaka, amirite?

...I'll see myself out.

RaidaTheBlade

I actually use that mountain myself! I use the black-bordered mirage one. I have a soft spot for the old frame with the written out ability. And the art's awesome. I also use an urza's saga swamp by john avon. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=3577&type=card http://gat...

RaidaTheBlade

Aaaaaaand there goes my productivity this morning...

Also the ham challenge. And I had made it an entire -checks watch- 30 minutes, too!

RaidaTheBlade

Windstrider, your latin in your sig made me want to try something, but it ended horribly.

I tried to find the roman for 'i burn', but the result was 'i am on fire'.
That said, 'cogito ergo uror' sounds awesome. But 'I think, therefore I am on fire' is hilarious to me for some reason.

RaidaTheBlade

Speaking of sleeves, better triple check them this time

I recommend the KMC Hyper Mattes, best sleeves I've ever used.

RaidaTheBlade

Random dumb question, is there anyone who sells custom sleeves? http://www.yourcardsleeves.com/ Dude had a kickstarter a while back, and was slowly working at it. There hasn't been an update in months though, but the last that was heard was that he had them good to ship, and was working on the fuck...

RaidaTheBlade

Nice! Sucks that the cat is out of the bag, but who reads scg these days? Right? :? Anywho, I do have a couple of questions for you Jedi. Mant to ask them earlier, but this reminded me e.e The only differences I've noted in your list from mdu's/mine are -1 Hero's Downfall +1 Land, and in the sideboa...

RaidaTheBlade

I've seen enough gay pornos to know where this is going.

?

RaidaTheBlade

Honestly, I like our control matchup. I don't usually have any problems with them. -shrugs- Of course, that is one of the biggest reasons I like this deck. There's no matchup that feels unwinable. It preys on a lot of the top decks :P Although that naya hexproof deck you're workng on makes me very s...

RaidaTheBlade

Fair enough, fair enough.

I'm a little disappointed too, mainly because I don't want to play against this deck, and you promoting it isn't helpful ;P

But it's a nice looking deck. Also abuses the metagame right now, with devour flesh seeing less play, with some b/x devo lists only running 2 main

RaidaTheBlade

RaidaTheBlade

I haven't really followed this deck, just been watching the youtube videos, but a question occurred to me.
Why aren't you running Eidolon of Countless Battles?

RaidaTheBlade

CURSE YOU VOCAL MINORITIES!!!

RaidaTheBlade

Even on a delay, streaming could cause problems. Even if what they see if a few minutes old, it can still be relevant. Also, the lists really haven't changed all that much. As I said before, the differences at this point boil down to about 4 questions. Your list is still really solid, and a 83.3% ma...

RaidaTheBlade

Nah, I'm with ya on this one. I think 2 vaults is the right number.
Since the only 1 drop in the list is shock, I think a 3rd guildgate isn't too far off the mark. I guess testing will tell, lol.

Any chance you'll stream your testing today? I'm bored with nothing to do ;P

RaidaTheBlade

I like the look of the list! Let me know how the mana ends up going, cause with the 7/5 mountain/swamp split with lbz and the whip main makes me worry. I guess with zealot there it does make sense though... Still worried it might go weird on occasion. But yeah, the version I've got sleeved right now...

RaidaTheBlade

He has 2 dreadbore 2 ultimate price, how is that more then our 3 dreadbore 3 hero's downfall? ;P That makes sense meta-wise, but which would you take to a wide-open meta? :P These are just questions I like asking. I'd personally say ash, since she's better against more of the top decks, with only g/...

RaidaTheBlade

My statements were based on his slightly higher creature count and lower manacost. But when his rats are all dead vs control... And I said we were better vs aggro/midrange cause we have so much removal. Anyway, I never got your thoughts MDU. If the cacklers got replaced with 3x of a two drop and a w...

RaidaTheBlade

Also, if y'all like Mike Portnoy, have you listened to Adrenaline Mob?

They're a metal supergroup and are pretty good. Portnoy did drums on their first two albms, omerta and coverta.

RaidaTheBlade

Err, Val, the ides of march is the 15th...

RaidaTheBlade

The list from the 5k and our current lists are fairly similar. We have a slightly heavier creature base, with either zombie or phoenix, while he went with packrat. We also have a bit more removal, and our hero's downfalls are better then his ultimate prices. As far as landbases, he fit in an extra v...

RaidaTheBlade

I'd still say aggro (though I think you once called it aggro-control, which I like). It is kinda riding the line though. The idea and the execution behind it are that of an aggro deck, that can offer a lot of fast hard-hitting pressure, and still have the reach to go long. So in that respect, it kin...

RaidaTheBlade

So you've been running ashley? Have you had any problems casting her/any mana weirdness at all? Basically, I like the idea of 3x some 2-drop besides jester, and I wanna look at the options. Ashley is the forerunner at the moment, but some other things to consider are pack rat, spiteful returned, you...
