--- Dies To Removal --- MTGO Clan

[Kaitscralt]

poor bastard

[Elricity]

QP is worth allot if FoW is on the line....

Well, I did the math last night and realized the proper split should give 1 BNG pack and both are right around $12. How come BNG jumped in price so hard?

[Elricity]

Ok, another question. I had been using my previous trade partner list to keep up with various bots I had been dealing with. How do I remove these people that I've been doing the splitting with? On the beta.

[Elricity]

Screw it, bought 3 vaults. I'll just make it up in prostitution.

[Kaitscralt]

ah fuck it i will jump into my first eight man

[Kaitscralt]

took ten minutes to fire

people getting bored of this standard or something?

[Elricity]

Just finished mine, 3-0. American and two mono black. Assemble crushed both games from my opening hand. No clue how I got that lucky. Mutavaults did god's work.

And I did it accidently with an extra land in the deck =o

[Kaitscralt]

i lost on a mull in game three to bw

[Kaitscralt]

up a round in the next one over mbc

[Elricity]

I just lost round 1 vs mirror using reckoner in the DE. Game 3 I get blind obedience and do work but 6 spells vs 8 lands just can't do. One was a vault but it didn't matter.

[Kaitscralt]

into the finals with a win over mbc in round 2

[Kaitscralt]

duno why i am even playing since eso comes out tomorrow. bored i guess.

[Kaitscralt]

ah well.

Won my 4th modern 8 man -- Up to 4 qps. Wish the ones I played wednesday counted would be up to 8 already =(. Oh well, Brobots is putting in work -- 4/4 in 8mans, up to 1797 constructed rating.

[Elricity]

Holy shit. Game 1 vs a heroic black white deck. Thankfully he plays so slow, he grinded himself down to 8 minutes and me at 14 as I finally died on turn 17 with a double ediolon'd creature and him over 100 life. I had double YP in play to chump forever but drew no spells, just creatures to brick him until I land flooded and drew my chains way too late. Game 2, my whole plan is to stall and run out his timer but I have an aggro hand and he only plays turn 3 spear. Is that dickish?

Turn 4 with 4 minutes on clock I play blind obedience hoping he won't concede so I can bleed him on more time to lock out game 3. Instead he just leaves the match, I guess realizing he didn't have enough time for game 3. Phew.




So far.

Oops. Took white weenie on topdeck mode as I killed everything he had. Helix his single boros elite...he plays brimaz without mana to protect it. Wow I got greedy.

[Kaitscralt]

online, the clock is a part of the game to be used for any advantage you want

[Elricity]

And I've now spent $240 on MTGO. Dammit.

[LaZerBurn]

You have cards to show for it, I have 0 rupees am down 34 tix in the last 24 hours and can't win a game to save my life

[imopen2]

I've spent so much more than that you can't even imagine

i assume he meant just now. if he means total then he is just making his first deck.

[magicdownunder]

I usually take break after one event loss, keeps me from tilting.

OMG I so need this.

Someone needs to slap me EVERY time I keep a high-land hand. Why can't I learn?

[imopen2]

I'm up to after winning another draft. I'm in deckbuilding for the sealed daily with a very aggressive WU that curves out at ornitharch...the UR build looked solid too with a bolt, strike, and the red hasty scry for 1U guy...but I think the WU will take more people unawares with how fast it is.

[LaZerBurn]

Amazingly I'm not tilted, just poor

It took me awhile to learn that, Mulling is very important I had a game in this set (vs Redzone):

Standard Elimination Report (Event 6926390)
BW Control vs (MDU) Blind Zurm (Standard Elimination R1 Event 6926390)
(Zemanjaski) Rw
Burn vs (MDU) Blind Zurm (Standard Elimination R2 Event 6926390)
(Red) Rw Burn vs (MDU) Blind Zurm (Standard Elimination R3 Event 6926390)

Where mulling down to 5 won me the game.

[imopen2]

Wouldn't it be better value to avoid playing in 8 mans together?

[montu]

I'm in Round 1 of a SE . . . mulliganed to 5 against Esper Control and won G1 in 9 turns, and crushed him G2 in 6.

I completely refreshed my deck choice. Now MB is 4x YP$, 4x Phoenix, and 2x Chandra (the rest burn and Chained).

SB is 2x BO, 2x FDS, 2x SFD, 2x Mortars, 3x Searing Blood, and 4x Cackler.

I figure if I can't win, I'm going to at least have fun. (lol then I won.)

EDIT: BTW, that win was against Joe Spanier (FoundOmega). In G2 he played 2 back-to-back Archangel of Thunes. I killed the 1st and the second was irrelevant, since he was at 1 life and I had a shock. He did manage to get a BO on the board G2, but against FDS and Cackler, who cares.

I've done the math. At current booster prices, you need the following match win rates to break even:

2-Man Queues: 73%
8-Man Queues: 61%
Daily Event: 52%

So, yeah, DE's are where it's at. It's just very hard for me to fit them in my schedule.

EDIT: Also, with a 67% win rate, your expected QPs for 8P is 0.75, and 1.0 for DEs.

[magicdownunder]

YES!! - if your trying to go inf. or your new too magic I highly recommend sticking with DEs and PE to earn your riches.

SE have HORRIBLE EV just play it if you really need to grind or if the timezones are just horrible for you.

[montu]

Nice thing about DEs is you can play all the games you pay for if you want.

[imopen2]

I meant not entering 8mans that Zem or another clan member is already queued for. It seems like you guys could wait for the queue to fire again and both win 2 rupees

[imopen2]

Unless you see ham in the queue. That's free wins right there

[magicdownunder]

But the only way we can snipe/see if another clan member is queuing is if we play on the beta

[Kaitscralt]

you could use the clan chat for communication

[montu]

2nd time today a Mono Red deck played triple BTE against me.

[montu]

I don't get why people don't use the beta. Works pretty well for me.

[montu]

I'm entering event #6924045. Everyone else stay put.

[zemanjaski]

I've said it a few times;

DEs are easily the best way to build a bank roll.
But if you're after quick QPs, you need to fight through the 8-mans.

[zemanjaski]

Btw, Zem, this will boost your ego, last night at my frat I was talking to a new member who I guess plays MODO a lot and he knew of you by name, he's been watching your videos on CFB and he knew you were a main creator of the boros burn deck. He might come join the clan
