That reads as "the reason eidolon is so good is because my opponents are bad".

if the average monster players kill eidolon then shouldnt i use that information to my best advantage?

BiddingMaster

Eidolon is bad vs Monsters; it's less bad vs Jund Monsters because that's a substantially easier matchup. Its not the most amazing thing since sliced bread yes but every time it eats a mortars and allows my yp to go unmolested feels really nice. It happens alot and I see a substantial amount of jun...

@BiddingMaster - do you find it strange that you board in Eidolon against almost everyone? Is this intentional trickery to set up game 3? If you really only keep it out against 1drop.decs it almost seems better to main deck it. On the play it's actually not bad (1/2 the time) and you can board it o...

BiddingMaster

No shit its 20x cards, I was saying there are only like 4 cards with CMC that trigger it. Also, Miscutter Hydra and Rakdos Return don't trigger it. You are just asking to lose that race.

but i rarely do.

I just 4-0'd another daily events with this decksist. This is how im going to be sideboarding for my future games an I think I have the plans correct as best I can give them in a nutshell. I do have to deviate sometimes based on how things work out but for the most part this is how its going. [deck]...

That... is not mathematically sound. well im not a math aficionado so I dont know the exact % of drawing a black source for one black card in our deck.

How many black sources do we need for erebos?

4 seems to work fine for me. i never want for a black source.

BiddingMaster

From some of the comments I've read by Purp, Dauntless, and Val, my assumptions on Eidolon are seemingly justified, though I haven't really voiced much of them. I've only played 9 matches with Eidolon (hey, don't judge me! I'm coming back from a 6 week hiatus and I've been dealing with some life pr...

BiddingMaster

Dropped from FNM. Lost to mono black in the third game because mull to 5 into 2x toughtseize is GG. I know that one is just variance, but I actually can't remember the last time I beat UW in a real event. Give me some advice please guys. How / what are you boarding? how well we do vs mono black is ...

BiddingMaster

Getting really fucking sick of UW. I was just elixir'd 5 times in three games. Also just lost to FSP. Guy didn't get the memo to run rams... tilting.... poor dragon got countered... guy just refused to tap out... Any concrete advice on this matchup? I want 4 eidolon and 4 firedrinker satyr and 3 ch...

BiddingMaster

Aren't you worried about Ram invalidating your Firstblades? If I was worried, would I play them? You're a clever guy, think about it. I agree. I rarely see a ram from the control opponent because the sideboards that I have seen only run two of them and some only run three anyway. When i say rarely ...

BiddingMaster

@Brainsick I'm trying to sum up your argument here: people that play the Eidolon are non-interactive dummies and people that play YP$ are the high brow thinkers? Am I close to the mark? Bidding Master, you are my hero.... We tear each other to pieces about YP vs. Eidolon and you play them both 4-of...

BiddingMaster

this is my new test deck. I really liked the deck I played at the scg open and this is the same deck with a tweaked sideboard. I think this sideboard plan helps out in the matchups where I was falling behind and just straight loosing because I was running eidolon. Any thoughts would be awsome guys a...

BiddingMaster

With my old list i had glares in the side because i couldnt beat fiendslayer paladin. Now that they are playing ram i find myself boarding out chains since a critter plus a burn spell kills it. Also they only play it as a 2-3 of and i dont see them draw them all that often. Ive seen it across the bo...

BiddingMaster

What do you guys think of mana confluence? Im thinking of selling mine off when I get the chance because im facing an incredible amount of aggro on modo but I dont want to have too many tapped sources for eidolon on turn two.

BiddingMaster

Question for those running Banishing Light over a Chained to the Rocks in the main, or in the whole 75: What non-creatures do you find yourself casting it on that you'd consider "must answer?" I pretty much only found myself using it against the early Planeswalkers like Domri but then it ...

I posted a few of my videos on youtube set as private but I was wondering how discriminant should I be when I start posting them for the general public? What vids should make the cut and which ones should not. I plan on playing 8+ daily events per week so I dont think I should Post every single one ...

BiddingMaster

There isnt a matchup where Eidolon is better than YP$, though yes, it is easier to play with. My thoughts on eidolon is that it is by no means a replacement for YP$ in any shape or form. the reason I suggested it as a maindeckable card is because it is basically a benevolent bodyguard for YP$ and i...

BiddingMaster

So how has eidolon of the great revel worked out for everyone? I was happy with 4 in the main but I see that some of you are running 2 in the main or 1 in the main and the rest in the sideboard? Also has anyone tried out dictate of the twin gods yet?

BiddingMaster

Is it possible that missing every Soldier of the Pantheon trigger was a meta choice? I'm not sure if free lifegain is good against burn. :V I tried looking for these videos but it doesn't look like SCG hosts them, do they? I'm amused that it doesn't look like they put that in their write ups. go to...

BiddingMaster

I wished that someone would explain to me why dirty casuals would want to drive hundreds of miles and spend $25-$40 to play in a highly compettitive event? When I was a casual player the store level events were enough competition for me to handle.

BiddingMaster

Expect to see more NVS and Whips in the coming week to combat all the burn. well. in the states anyway. Im not sure how scg results effect other countries. Well z is right about one thing. I routinely see people who go to scg events who just arent that good. Its the curse of any open event because ...

BiddingMaster

everyone should go back to the scg coverage at knoxville and skip all the way to 16:40:00 and you will see me loose to kendell burdette in game three to some awkward draws. Hopefully z wasnt talking about me when he said man those were some bad players

Just because the card might be better than some people initially thought doesn't mean that every argument in support of it is suddenly validated. People made some arguments in support of the card that other people disagreed with. That's really all that happened. I've heard some terrible justificati...

BiddingMaster

Ok seriously? I suggest eidolon and give you guys a plan on how we use the card and what our plan is when we board in other cards and you all think that is terrbile and not worht any testing. Then all of a sudden the card shows up in a decklist of an accomplished player and now its a card that is w...

BiddingMaster

Also, thinking about dictate, I dislike it.

Against control, do you really want vaults attacking you for four? Just a thought.

sry. I didnt mean to say that I would board dictate against control. It was for the mono black matchup and maybe the junk midarange matchup(sketchy) and monsters.

@rhyno ok so to the first question. Shock has synergy with yp and phoenix but eidolon has synergy with every other card in the deck. it can either be 4 more copies of yp or 4 more copies of phoenix in that I get to kill creatures with my burn and still get to deal damage with the eidolon which is wh...

Ok I forgot one thing. I have completed 5 hours of testing with eidolon of the great revel. That cards is the real deal folks.

Ive always felt like shock was a lackluster card in our deck.

Thats why you need to post your thoughts first. That gets the ball rolling better than trying to gain the benefit of someone else's testing with no effort on your part. I am guilty of this as well but I have tried not to.
