I missed the bus.

cunthammer

4 days, that must be some kind of record

I pooped and it stinks

i guided my friend through duels of the planeswalkers 2013 last night against 3 other AIs playing planechase. he'd never played magic prior to downloading dotp for free, so i was teaching him about how to play well, etc, why cards like glowmoth are completely irrelevant and why an opponent being at 80 life didn't matter at all. the latter was good because there was a point in the game where one of the opponents had like 86 life and we were at 2 and then 1 for pretty much half of the game. to be honest, though, we only won because one of the other two opponents needlessly triggered the oblivion stone effect of one of the planes (it was elesh norn's whatever bullshit in case you want to play along at home) when we were far and away dead on board.

we also missed at one point that the rules text on one of the planes was "draw a card every time you roll the planar die" while freaking out that the computer players had
gone from 0 to 4 cards in hand, but also planechase is bullshit and why would i know that.

we won at 1 life through conservative attacks and not ever meaningfully interacting with the planar deck.

I should make some videos or stream, would any of you watch a complete mtg random? do people do that?

I somewhat consistently top 16/32 900 person PTQ's on mtgo without ever top 8ing, have a meaningless 1850ish Limited rating and probably am really obnoxious to listen to

I would watch if it isn't painfully unfunny / boring / neckbeardish / terrible.

Planechase is awful and I don't respect it.

Also, why don't you draft M14?

He is gone for actual true reals now, you lot have hurt his feelings.

I do, I've just been cycling through some RTR packs I won in a Sealed Daily waiting for them to run out but I guess I'm too awesome to ever lose 3 drafts in a row

But what if you equip Goldenglow Moth with a Slagwurm armor? Powerful!

I might bug you with requests for advice in limited sometime

I am notoriously terrible at figuring a limited format out

I'd watch just so you can ridicule me in chat

the card was not available in dotp so it was not a concern.
celestial armor, however...

I'm guessing you mean Celestial Mantle to which I say K-K-K-K-KILLER COMBO

yes that one

blue looks like the best thing you can be doing in theroes. grip tide, unsommon plus scry

red has a lot of solid removal too though

I might actually do sealed or draft this set. It looks solid.

white seems like the only bad color. again.

that said white is the only color that has several ways at less than rare to kill monstrous creatures.

several in my language meaning two

what about some sort of deck test videos where I take a deck in the Standard meta and then play like 10 matches with it in the 1 vs 1 for a pack thing, just so people who want to see if a deck is good / worth buying cards for / is fun can watch me test it and summarize so they don't have to. it could be done with essentially every tier 1/2 deck in any given meta/season, and also take requests for people's home brews and run them through the circuit

someone must be doing this already ^

is burnished hart actually insane in TTT limited a question that will haunt me to my dying day or at least the first week TTT is live because i think getting one or more monstrous creatures active is almost unbeatable

play dailies/8 mans. 1v1 is twoos thing and he does it with crazy decks and also it is pretty terrible but has a crazy following because most people are pretty casual johnny type players.

5 mana accelerating creatures, one of which is rare, one of which is a ritual effect.
hrm.

fucking china taking all our jobs

bring me on for commentary i'm good at being a stream sidekick this is not me being sarcastic.

6 monstrous creatures at C/U... Good enough to build a deck around, not good enough to grab all the hart's you can going in blind. It'll be a good card because of bestow too, but don't count on the monstrous creatures to back you up. They're too aggressively costed to not be high picks for any deck.

i'll be the al micoles to your john madding

I will actually brainstorm some ideas that incorporate you.

This is quite brilliant.

picked up more scavenging oozes today because why not

Go Yanni!

i bought like a hundred firedrinker satyr and boon satyr because i may hate them but i'm also not an idiot.

that's not true at all i loved wolfir avenger and that card isn't even as good as boon satyr.
