Dies to Removal

I tested Shred-Freak extensively. He wasn't awful. I've just started testing BTE, and so far she's only "okay". I don't play the mirror very often so I'm inclining to agree with you and already anticipate switching back to RSF, or humoring Firefist Striker. But my natural inclination is to...

You're siding Electrickery, so you clearly anticipate a lot of aggro. If you get there and there isn't, that's a dead card. I'm not saying drop it, just that you gotta weigh the space it takes up against how hard it will be to play around aggro. I'm still going to suggest -1 Mutavault, +1 Mountain. ...

Played vs Willy Edel (I think) heplayed BUG midrange, similar to mono black but with decays, reaper of the wilds and scavenging ooze. Mull to 5 and mull to 6 and stopping on 2 lands = dead.

I dabbled in BUG right before Theros released. Didn't have enough Red.

Good luck, sir.

I'll give him this: dude's got massive internet balls. And speaking as a guy who's into martial arts ("into" as in "digs", not "is proficient with"), there's a big difference between training for your health/self-defense and training to win tournaments. One teaches you ...

Going into a mostly unknown meta,what do y'all think would be better? The pyro list with only 1 muta(i only have 1), or the devotion list? Going into an unknown meta, it's hard to say. I'd play Pyro, but that's only because I'm more comfortable with it. Your real edge is going to come from learning...

Second result on Google, along with his X-Box Live profile, his Youtube channel and his Bungie account. If I look hard enough I can probably find his Facebook too.

Well I found his Vampirefreaks.com profile, and WTC is not correct in that regard.

Or anybody really, I'm driving myself batty by thinking about this too much e.e Over-thinking is a thing. Sleep on it, but it sounds like you're actually trying to choose between PyroRed and Devotion Red. If Devotion jives for you more than PyroRed does, play Devotion. You're better off doing what ...

SB more praying. Mono-U is just a bad day. Mortars and fliers are your best bets.

Annihilating Fire, or Flames of the Firebrand. AF is great for nuking Voice without him shitting out an elemental, and for Phoenixes in the mirror.

If it's one or the other, either Weird or Fanatic, I'd pick Weird. Walls early, beats late and fills the same slot in your curve.

But GHC and Shred Freak are viable options as well.

Agreed. I could never dump Ashley. I'll put up with her shit until she rotates out, and then I will be sad. Strangely, I have the same problem with finding FFS. Three of us each bought a box of Gatecrash boosters and we collectively came up with one copy. Rarest uncommon ever. EDIT: I have 9 Skullcr...

Some have had success with Firefist Striker. I haven't tried it myself, but FFS has come up on other people's lists commonly enough. I can't argue with his ability to deny a blocker. Two denied blockers per turn, if you have Chandra in play too, is nothing to cough at. I guess it depends on how aggr...

The 2 life loss from obzedat isn't what makes him the pain in the ass vs aggro. It's the 2 lifegain. If you have a board state where you can afford a turn 5 take 2 damage a turn spell you're probably already winning. Ofc in a b/w aggro deck it'll be fine but I'm talking about in the whip/obzedat/bl...

If I were playing Obzedat and they dropped an Erebos on me, I'd keep blinking him. They'd still lose 2 Life a turn and Papi would still be immune to sorcery-speed removal.

I'm a fan of burn over combat tricks in general. A well placed Shock turns a chump block into a trade.

Bit intimidated, guy had the champion mat from 2014 and after some quick chat found out he had been playing competitively for around 2 years, told him I'd been playing for around 3 months and he laughed and said that would explain why I'm playing red and that I'd eventually move onto a different co...

I'm jumping on the RB wagon too. I was going to wait until Born of the Gods to start brewing, but until then I'll just pretend Rakdos Guildgate lets me scry. Good blade-proof targets for Price are Desecration Demon and Gary, so I will definately consider the 3/1 split if MonoB proves out to be a pro...

I have this vague recollection of associating that username with someone who is a complete tool.

What, the Ham Challenge was too sensitive a subject for them?

We seem better off being here.

Thanks guys.

I gotta ask, because I don't want to dig through a year's worth of backlog looking for the drama: what happened on MTGS that made FoS decide to migrate?

I've been lurking for about a year. Haven't really committed to the community because about the same time I joined the forum I started planning my wedding. Which happened last Sunday. :jam: So I've been cold turkey with Magic since about March, because it was either afford the wedding my wife wanted...

*shuffles out of bed*

...where am I?
