Hey, can anyone make me a Fires of Salvation banner with Restoration Angel in the middle flanked by Boros Reckoner and Hellrider? And have my name on it? If the card art can be blended together pretty well like Photodyer's banner, that would be awesome too.
SM, if you aren't in any hurry, I'd be happy to as soon as I get some discretionary time. This weekend is don in as I will be heading out on Saturday to
help brother windstrider celebrate his birthday, but I should be able to set you up within the next couple of weeks. Sound cool?
Totally cool. Thanks man!

My pleasure! I may have to tweak around a bit on blending in Resto because she's in a high key image (light background and colors) while Hellrider and Reckoner are dark images, but it should be doable.

I feel obligated to mention that I might use the image too, since my deck does play all 3 of those cards.

Yeah, I'm kinda in love with your deck. God I know that sounds bad. Totally no homo. Anyways, I am in the process of acquiring the cards to finish it. Just grabbed 4x Sacred Foundry and the charms off ebay today. Probably stop in to my LGS later and get the rest.

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2013 9:05 pm**

Alex, I'm probably going to start playing it too (Fate, hence the reason I might not be getting rid of those reckoners). The issue for me is the Restos, I just don't feel like spending the money on them.

Anyone in the clan have a set they want to loan/trade/give me a deal on? I have 4x Deathrites, and I also do alters.

Sorry man, mine are spoken for. The best deal I've seen is a playset for $60 on ebay.

That Bohemian Rhapsopy stuff just made my evening! Awesome stuff!

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2013 9:57 pm**

Think I'm actually going to FNM tonight. I could simply go to a draft, or show up to a Standard FNM early and try to buy something relatively cheap like Khaos deck wins or hope that people are friendly and they lend me the cards for either Aristocrats or Jund.

Give Alex's deck a go. If you want cheap though, AIR w/out the white splash comes in at like $60. Only expensive cards are the SB Reckoners.

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:14 pm**

I don't know how I feel about that deck. Khaos deck on the other hand is something I'm more comfortable playing since I have a strong grasp on the archetype and I really would enjoy giving people the business with hound of griselbrand in postboard games. Probably gonna substitute bonfires with flames though.

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:26 pm**

Go, go KDW, LP! Since I can't play tonight (cooking dinner for the woman....and then I'm gonna pound her tuna!) it'd be nice to know that somebody will be beating face in with Hound of Griselbrands and Stonewrights!
:fourhorsemenoftheapocalypse:

edit: RE subbing Bonfires for FotF: Good call. I've almost made the same switch myself.

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:51 pm**

It's more of a budget thing, but I prefer flames anyways without access to mana acceleration.

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:53 pm**

If I could play any deck regardless of budget, I'd definitely be playing the Aristocrats or jund though. Falkenrath aristocrat+Knight of Infamy and Rakdos's Return are respectively 2 of my favorite things in the format currently.

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:00 pm**

Knight of Infamy has such bitchin artwork that I just want to play it so I can look at the card.

Once I get the art laid out, it will be no issue to do an "Alex" layer...like 2 minutes. If you want a different spin on the theme, just say so; I can work something up if you would prefer different cards featured.

I'm glad you spoke up...I was tempted the other night when I was goofing around to do a Prince Eric/Mermaid-themed sig for you as a brotherly troll.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:50 am**

So who is all going to go dominate FNM tonight? Probably already under way for you east coasters. I'll be taking Jund aggro again tonight.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 1:13 am**

Not I:( Been sick in bed wednesday & thursday, so I'm not going this week. I'll be back in action next week, once I figure put which deck to play. I kind of want to keep playing AIR, because it has been so strong in my local meta, but forfeiting the control matchup isn't exactly where I want to be come DGM.

Alex's deck looks awesome, but it'd require me to drop about $150 on cards (I was borrowing the lands as well, and the guy I was borrowing from wants to play a crappy version of the Aristocrats).

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 1:38 am**

Me neither. Wife isn't having a good time with her meds right now. That, plus I don't have the mana to build Alex's Boros deck. On the plus side, I did get my playset of Arabian Nights Kird Apes in the mail today. Those are going right in my modern deck.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 2:24 am**

Sick as a dog. Also, I don't play FNM.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather, James...we missed you this afternoon during the "Wayne's World" reenactment! We ended up bagging FNM due to too much on our plates, but we get to go have fun over at windstrider's tomorrow.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 2:41 am**

Happy birthday Windstrider.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 2:46 am**

I feel like mentioning, as others have done, that the random Queen break was incredibly epic. I'm proud of you all.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 2:52 am**

Alex's deck looks awesome

Yeah. I will never get tired of hearing this just so you know. Please, PLEASE stroke my ego more.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 3:21 am**

Is anyone doing a new banner? I can try my hand at doing one up, but would need to know what the preferred resolution of the image is.

And I agree that Alex's dick is awesome. Oh, you said "deck"?

Dude i am in love with the 4 horse men. I'm inspired I've been thinking of how what my banner should be like
Wow. It should be like that.

You know what never gets old? Beating your manager in sales.

Top salesperson second time this week. If I make it tomorrow, I get a nice bonus. I like bonuses.

So, anyone destroy some FNM tonight?

I go on my laptop and for some reason I see a series of posts quoting bohemian rhapsody that stop at the line just before that, so I figured "fuck it" and keep it going

So of course it turns out to be several pages back (or not in this thread at all)

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 5:09 am**

completely scrubbed out at FNM tonight, went 0-3 with a bye. Lost to a turbo fag deck the second week in a row and just about quit magic. the local meta is pretty hostile to aggro right now and it's really disheartening since I can't afford to play anything but mono red or boros deck wins. One of the guys that beat me let me try playing his aristocrats deck for fun and it was a blast, which makes me want to play the deck more.

I'm just so frustrated right now

Turbo Fog is no joke, broski. Aside from being the ultimate troll deck, it actually does quite well in almost all metas. It has answers for everything, unparalleled card advantage, and is the epitome of inevitability. It's one of my favorite decks.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 6:15 am**

I beat turbo fog with hellrider and burn.

Then it must have had bad draws or a bad deck in general. Most tend to run sweepers and Witchbane Orb.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 6:37 am**

Ah...mono red has a very favourable turbo fog matchup. That's a fact.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 7:20 am**

Traded a reckoner and some store credit for a Chain Lightning, a foil Volcanic fallout, a Fireblast, a Pillage, a Flame Rift, a foil Flames of the Blood Hand, and shits of other red cards. Im a happy camper:)

Don't know what the hell I'm going to do with those hings, but I do like fire.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 7:27 am**

Now I feel like an idiot. I'm like 90% sure some of those cards used to be like $4-5 cards. And now theyre not
Wooooow.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2013 7:47 am**

I managed to again top 8 on a 3-1 record with jund aggro and then lost in the top 8 to the mirror. I'm not one to blame luck most of the time but g1 I mull to 5. G2 on t2 he drops 3 bte's and a boar. t3 a mangler. t4 Aristocrat. Yeah I can't compete with magical christmas land like that.

I think you can blame his good luck on that one. Even 2 BTE's is tough. 3 is just gross.

Also, I didn't realize you could build legacy burn for so cheap. If you don't play the Lavamancer one (which was apparently still good enough to win an SCG event) the entire deck is around $200 even, and I've already got most of it.

Does anyone know if burn is any good in legacy right now?

We'll see later today.

I'm entering a (probably small) Legacy tournament in 1.5 hours with a cheap burn deck. Decklist and some thoughts can be found earlier in this thread.
