Dies to Removal

Playing a terrible deck just to insult people who lose to it is some next-level trolling.

I just finished reading Patrick Chapin's Next Level Magic, which has inspired me to up my game in everything. Obviously this means that my trolling game is being upped. This has made my casual decks substantially worse as my play has gotten better, seems like it should balance out.

Dear god, so much mountain... https://sites.google.com/site/mtgbasics/home/mountain

Thanks for this link, it helped me pick out the mountain foil art I wanted for my decks.

I'm a sucker for Mountains

When I played IRL this was my fave http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Im ... seid=20895 - I had my Ext deck foiled out with accompanying shiny Ports and Wastelands

I'm currently hard pushed to choose between these http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/ ... eid=175018 and http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Im ... eid=175017

What art did
you choose MDU?

I maintain however that browbeat was better than anyone ever gave it credit for, you just had to accept that you were never going to get what you wanted.

I have a soft spot for Browbeat, but that's because the one time I used it was in a very scrub meta. It was when the card first came out in Judgement and the LGS started hosting Saturday afternoon Standard tournaments. The first one was happening on the weekend of Dragon Con (or something like that) and since I knew that none of the regulars would be there and it would likely be just a bunch of noobs, I played Browbeat as a 4-of and everyone else at the tournament was so scared of taking damage that it was always 2R: Draw 3 Cards.

So even though I know
it's not that great, my one experience with the card is that it's broken as hell.

Lava Axe for 2R isn't too shabby either.

Got som new music to listen to today:

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank god.
I dunno but today seems kinda odd.
No barking from the dog, no smog.
And all my full art Mountains by Meignaud.

I brought 12 Foil Mountains for slightly over 1 ticket, something about them appeals to me

zendikar spiral mountains get wrecked

I like Mountains that look like Droppin Suga.

I like it in multiplayer. No one wants to take 5 damage.

This is the best mountain evar

I like that one

Get Unhinged, son.

Though I consider myself a mountain guy. I don't really pick one as my favorite. If there is one, it'll be this because of Shandalar.

That's a nice Mountain you've got there. Shame if BlakLanner tier were to happen to it...

We ain't scared of you.

Le sigh. It was pointed out to me that theres an IQ this weekend on saturday about 2 hours from where I live... So now I've gotta decide between driving all the way there and paying the $25 entry fee, or stayig home and playing board games with friends e.e

Blargleflargle

Come play Raida! I have at least two other friends coming, they are playing MONO B

Plus you can play board games at night. I recommend this game: http://www.amazon.com/Betrayal-At-House ... B003HC9734 ... Especially if drugs are involved. Plus its made by Wizards!

Dear gods, that is probably one of the best board games in the history of board games.

Glad that Tabletop featured it, gives it some well-deserved attention.

I decided not to go, just gonna chill and boardgame with friends. Theres another IQ in Dalton GA later this month I believe, so I might go to that one.

Oh, that game looks like a hella lot of fun.

I think my favorite set, as far as basic lands go, is kamigawa. Wow that sounds weird, hearing favorite and kamigawa in the same sentence.

Not entirely fair now that I think about it, kamigawa limited was a ton of fun, it was just poopy in constructed (other than 2 ninjas, 2-4 dragons, kitaki, and jitte).

YES! The islands from that set look really neat as well. I also love all of the Kamigawa arena promo lands.

Day two of being a jobless bum.

How exhausting!

I have a soft spot for John Avon's Mirage Mountains, especially this one: http://magiccards.info/mr/en/304.html

Has it been printed with new frames and black borders, except as a foil in 8th and 9th edition?

John Avon is a magnificent man. Definitely my favorite Mountain artist. The Zendikar 244 mountains are cool and original, but Avon's art is classic. His work for the Arena sets is sweet.

My lady is very impressed with Avon's artwork, so much that she thought that buying the framed Unhinged lithographs would be a nice touch for the office.

Your lady has good taste.

Running some RTR and Shards Mountains since I don't have enough Zen 244s for PyroWhite (I think I only need two more <_<) and they'll do for now. I love the Shards basics. Especially this Forest.

Although I got a foil one of these in a pack recently and it looks freakin' sweet, might just switch over to those if I can grab some more.

I don't think you can go wrong with any mountain, but I stick to the Zendikar one that Ham likes.

The "these aren't actually mountains bro" from RTR always bothered me, but they seemed to fit in Nuwen's rakdos deck so we shoved all the foils in there

Onslaught mountains.

I'm looking for 35 Onslaught mountains to replace the Snow-Covered ones in my Krenko EDH, but the shop I frequent doesn't sell basic lands (except for Snow-Covered lands, which are a steal at $0.25 each).

For Standard decks, I use the Mountains from the Fire & Lightning premium deck. My favorite is Avon's Mirrodin mountain (because of how fucking shiny it is), but Briclot's Jund mountains also look pretty cool.

I really have to just go out and buy a bunch of cool basic lands, and, while I'm willing to pay $1-$1.50 for a Zendikar basic, SCG is the only site that sells them that I know of and I just don't want to pay so much to have them shipped after I've been so spoiled with TCGPlayer's low shipping costs for so long.

I guess Im spoiled in the other direction by getting zendikar lands at 25cents a piece

I got all of my Zen lands by sniping eBay auctions. They work out to around 75 cents a pop if you can find the guys selling 20x at a time.

When I tap mountains I tap these sideways:

Funny because that's my favorite RTR land. I only have 10 so I need to track down more.

AVR has nice mountains. I like the bright skies they have.

Those aren't REAL MOUNTAINS

I have a lot of basic lands from some of the early sets. I should go through them and collect all the lands I have, especially the Mountains.

@Kaze — Maybe not, but the art on that is sweet, especially for a Rakdos-themed deck. Does anyone else do that? Use basic lands that fit the theme of the deck. My Dos Rakis list used those red/black RTR lands, and the basic swamps had tinges of red in them.
