45 QPs.

[Pedros]

Good play this night. 4 QPs from 2events, up to 17 qps.

[magicdownunder]

Im also on 17-18 QP (I can't recall), I won't able to play for the rest of the week - but I'll get my 35 for sure

[zemanjaski]

50 QPs.

[magicdownunder]

You should overtake me this week, I'm amazed at your ability too multi-queue Z.

If I attempted the same thing I think my win/loss rate would flip on its head.

[zemanjaski]

I won't, I am going to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Wednesday/Friday; date night Thursday, Friend's birthday party Saturday night and another 1K Saturday during the day ~ so I will only be playing tomorrow night and Sunday night this week

Hola Madding

[zemanjaski]

Skype?

[Kaitscralt]

Working otherwise yes

[Kaitscralt]

Then again if I weren't at work I'd be on ESO

[zemanjaski]

That's cool, shoot me a message if you see me on.

[Kaitscralt]

I haven't seen you on in a while

[zemanjaski]

I don't normally log in to skype, only to mtgo, but I will make more of an effort.

[imopen2]

So this doesn't really have anything to do with mtgo, but Mike Flores on the top 8 podcast is the most frustratingly asinine bullshit ever. He's all talk and no real knowledge. He's been talking for 10 mins about how staff of the death magus is the death of boros burn after playing a dozen games with the deck, and describing hexproof as "a deck with pro black and pump spells."

He's like the worst version of that loud guy who brags about his awesome board state or whines about how lucky his opponent got.

[Mcdonalds]

But teh life gain bro, so good

Dat article from ten years ago brah

[Kaitscralt]

Flores is so bad he makes Adrian Sullivan look good

[imopen2]

I had a great idea for a block reanimator junk list with ashen rider and abhorrent overlord using whip and escape from the underworld...went to mtgo results for block and see basically the same 56/60 as 50% of the decks.

[zemanjaski]

I'm yet to actually lose to Staff of the Death Magus.

[LP, of the Fires]

Flores is a shinning example of what happens when you rest on your laurels and why you should always be seeking self-improvement.

[zemanjaski]

Well said.

[zemanjaski]

Should be Top 50 after the next update.

[hamfactorial]

Great job Z

What does this mean for MDU? Nothing because I can't play in during the Standard Qualifer time period - but I can still abuse the eco shifts after the events are over and I can support you guys who are entering the event

[zemanjaski]

Got Ashiok and Ephara in my draft deck.

[zemanjaski]

And the Mnemonic Wall + Whelming Wave combo.

[BlakLanner]

Oops, I win?

[hamfactorial]

$money$

[imopen2]

If you can survive that long it is pretty hard to beat. Ashiok is oops I win

[zemanjaski]

Couple of Returned Phalanx, Vortex Elemental, Griptide, little bit of removal. No bomb creatures, but still, if I draw the good cards...

Got Traveler's Amulet and Burnished Heart for fixing too.

[zemanjaski]

I can't ever actually turn on Ephara, I would need every blue permanent in the deck in play hahaha.

[zemanjaski]

Not that I care, I am already up on $$ obviously.

[hamfactorial]

Believe in the heart of the cards!

[zemanjaski]

Really need 1 more card draw spell I guess.

[Kaitscralt]

How is your Limited practice going

[zemanjaski]

Combo of Ephara plus Plains successfully assembled Game 1.

[zemanjaski]

Pretty well, usually going 2-1 now.

[Kaitscralt]

Whelming Wave is probably not worth it in most decks, even with Wall.

[zemanjaski]

It protects my PW and set's up my god, I like it in this particular deck.

[zemanjaski]

1-0.

[Kaitscralt]

Seems decent in that deck, but it's often uncastable with Bestows across the board
