Dies to Removal

Right, I need some advice so I can take down next weekend's modern GP trial: viewtopic.php?f=103&t=1962

No, seriously I don't expect to win, but a top4/8 would be nice, because that means price loot of some kind.

Good luck, I've been trying o ask for thought and advice to help with an IQ this weekend, with minimal luck ;P (this is mainly sarcasm, plz don't lynch me guys)

Christmas is eggnog and fruitcake - both with copious amounts of rum.

Looks like I missed out on a corruption party. I'm on to you two...

It's not a question of who's corrupt. Everyone is corrupt. The question is, how corrupt?

Tubehunter, you won't survive much longer...

Heh, I could say the same for you

I think I just broke up with my girlfriend.

I think I just broke up with my girlfriend.

What happened? Is it due to that situation you mentioned earlier?

Kind of. We talked. Talked. Talked. And I think it could be already considered as over.

Went to Wal-Mart today and they only had two Commander decks left on the shelf. One of them just happened to be the Esper deck, so I grabbed it.

Kind of. We talked. Talked. Talked. And I think it could be already considered as over.

Expound?

Um.. Congrats Yarpus?

Kind of. We talked. Talked. Talked. And I think it could be already considered as over.

So was it more or less a mutual decision?

I just told her what I was thinking about. Mostly the part of me having no future. Not being able to respond with her dreams about having family one day. Becoming worse and worse. That there are so many differences in our approach to life that sooner or later we will just start to clash with each other. That I can't promise her that 10 years from now on, I will not be an painkiller-addicted junkie. That she deserves something better.
She understood everything. She knew about it. And then she cried. And we talked more. I wish I could cry, but I didn't. And now... hell, I don't know.
I'm an egoist. I always was, I am and I'll be. Why to actually once be at least a bit selfless I have to become the worst man in the world. Fuck.

looks like dr. zimbabwe not only carries you guys in magic accomplishment but now also in maintaining relationship accomplishment

So, how're you
feeling?

Like a piece of shit. Thought I would feel that I'm doing right thing - but I don't.
And Kait, yeah, cool.

But you don't have to be. Tomorrow's not guaranteed for anyone here. If you've got a shot at a relationship with someone who stands by you, who can bring happiness into your world, then take that chance. From what you've described, she stood by you through some of the worst times in your life. I think she knows what she's getting into.

Have you looked into your own motivations for pushing her away?

Yup. I guess I've sugarcoated it all over in my mind.

Lol

(a dossier with the name Redscrumper stamped on it is left on Stardust's desk)

The plot thickens.

Built Kiki-Pod.
Opponent has Ajani at 6 counters and Liliana at 2. Swing with Exalted Resto Angel into Ajani. Pod off Resto for Zealous Conscript. Steal Ajani. -2 to helix and kill off both him and Lilliana.

I like this deck.

Melira Pod > Kiki Pod

Kiki Pod is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more enjoyable.

The word you're looking for is 'homosexual'

"Kiki pod is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more enjoyable".

Re: Yarpus
I still think that it's better to have things "settled" this way rather than being not honest to her while feeling hindered by her.

Don't know how anyone can play melira pod and not hate themselves.

With Ouphes.

It's like, a mediocre pod deck and a mediocre midrange deck.

When I can beat your combo deck in the long game with soul sisters, something is wrong.

I was playing Melira Pod before it was cool. You know, when there was a Standard version of the deck that used Phyrexian Metamorph, Leonin Relic-Warder and Suture Priest.

Also Bramblesnap, Phyrexian Metamorph, Leonin Relic-Warder was a thing that I might have done against a few unsuspecting motherfuckers.

Edit: Since I know people will ask, here's how it works.

Have Bramblesnap or Suture Priest in play. Play Relic-Warder, you can fail to find a target if you want. Play Metamorph copying Relic-Warder, have it exile itself, causing it to flicker an indiscriminate number of times. You can use Bramblesnap's ability before each flicker happens, giving it +1/+1 before every flicker. Suture Priest gains you infinite life using the same principal. It was a bad combo, but that deck was still really fun.

K, played Boss sligh:

4 Foundry Street Denizen
4 Firedrinker Satyr
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Lightning Strike
4 Akroan Crusader
4 Dragon Mantle
3 Arena Athlete
4 Ash Zealot
4 Legion Loyalist
4 Madcap Skills
4 Titan's Strength

17 Mountain

Sideboard:
4 Skullcrack
4 Peak Eruption
1 Coordinated Assault
1 Pithing Needle
1 Nivmagus Elemental
4 Shock

Was VERY surprised at how enjoyable the deck was to play. Buddy asked me what he thought of it, and I responded it seemed fine but gimmicky. It actually felt like standard affinity. Aside from devotion green, all the matchups felt fine, and very winnable and the decision trees where interesting. That, and I enjoy decks that only lose to flooding. If anyones poor and what's a deck to play, rummage through your draft leftovers, sleeve this up, and go to town.

Including monoU?

Ok, just fuck Mantle and play some real Magic cards instead.

Surprisingly yes. I won a match where my opponent was at 14 and cast a MoW for 5 tokens. Battalion legion loyalist, madcap skills, and titan strength all come together beautifully.
