Dies to Removal

That new elephant spoiled today is pretty tits

aren't you the guy who's supposed to be posting spoilers / new cards on this site?

looooooooooool

gotta give that a + a for sad truths and a for prosperity

lol, so busted

Undefeated FTW at FNM. #notscrumpingforonce

Feels good man.

Your lacking removal and lifegain cards, Rabble Red will be a worst MU then burn (imo) - you could try boarding out your #/2 creatures and run some Angers.

'bout to stream for a little bit. Probably going to play Hearthstone.

Lies, all lies!

This is WoW... not Hearthstone...

Won fnm with goblins again and took home a from the vault annihilation. People at the store are mad, they just can't see me win with goblins anymore.

I traded 2 Legion Loyalists for 2 Eidolons. That just doesn't seem right...

i mean modern goblins. Defeated junk, U/B faeries, merfolk and mono black with pack rat and phyrexian obliterator. Only dropped one match to mono-red burn who had a lot of forked bolt and searing blazes and searing bloods.

Standard Goblins, sure... Modern Goblins? Are you a wizard?

Check out the thread in the developing section. there is my list somewhere there. goblins is the best deck in the format

i like topdecking spikeshot elder or keldon megaliths when my opponent just killed all my creatures but is at 2 life points. Or legion loyalist when he has 6 lingering souls spirits

Good job.

Salty as shit.

Drafted tonight. Horrible mistake number 1.

Normally would have been able to split the finals for a free draft, but I was in a 9 man pod and got paired against double lingering souls, devouring light, multiple raise the alarm white paragon, double constricting sliver+blue card draw.fuck my life.

Lose game 1 to the classic soul mender>raise the alarm>double triplicate+paragon draw. SURE.

I'm playing a fair GR deck with siege dragon and 3/3 twin groves as bombs and some modest roaring primadax synergy. Board in plummet, swamp, festergloom, hunters ambush, and probably something else for my second elvish mystic, twingrove, and likely mediocre garbage.

Game 2, beat double triplicate spirits with a combination of netcaster spider, removal on constricting sliver in combat, and primadax+forge devil for 3/4 turns before he disrupted me. I was down to 4 life before stabalizning and turning the
corner with dragon.

Game 3, I have GOBLIN RABBLEMASTER which goes unmolested for a couple turns, but I convoked him in some spots to play around raise the alarm before it got constricted. Turn five, he plays avacyn, which I plummet. Then I die to triplicate spirits with him at 2 life and me flooding out without ever drawing festorgloom in either game as sungrace Pegasus and fliers kill me. His divinations and jaces ingenuity's where key and I couldn't draw removal other then that early plummet.

Limited is ghey.

Likely keeping my PTQing this season to a minimum to prevent salt.

Gotta watch that blood pressure.

If anyone wants a sweet draft strat though. WG/splash everything. Take all the heliods emissary's+1 verdant haven, then pick up every splashable bomb you want.

LP Nissa or Dictate of Heliod in my deck? Dictate is usually game over when I cast it, it also prevents you from overextending. It however doesnt do anything on its own.

And again question: Shockland or Painland?

Shock Land are better (imo), Nissa is MUCH better then Dictate MD.

Btw is Mistcutter better than stormbreath dragon?

That's a tough one, I think Mistcutter is better then Stormbreath vs Blue - SBD is defiantly better then Mistcutter when your trying to beat lets say Monster - what do you think your softer against?

I think planeswalkers.

I will set on dragons then. Better than walkers, I think similar powerlevel vs control?

Mistcutter is generally much better vs. control as it's infinitely better against them the turn they plan on reving. Stormbreath is better if you can guarantee that it will always resolve.

As for your manabase, I think it's fine. I'd just add the 25th land and have it be a foundry most likely.

Dictate and nissa both seem horrible, mostly because they're 5 drops that need other stuff to be happening, but I'd go with dictate out of the two by virtue of it being castable and synergizing with the rest of your deck much better.

Really? Nissa seems like a card which can just take over the game on its own, dictate is better if he has a board or is trying to dodge damage based removals.

maybe 3rd Xenagos in place of nissa? double green isnt ideal, you are right.

If keeping Dictate MD I have 1 sb slot open. Currently:

4 Nyx-Fleece Ram
2 Mizzium Mortars
3 Negate
1 Ephara
2 Stormbreath Dragon
1 Chandra
1 Keranos.

Maybe play 3 Rams and 2 Anger of the Gods? It would make rabble red/gw much easier.
and Planeswalkers with 2 dragons, keranos, 3 negates, 2 mortars, potential chandra and ephara seems much better than before.

He might be right about it being hard to cast. I dont like to play double green card with 12 green sources. 3rd Xenagos or Dictate might be more consistent (remember going to play ~7 rounds of swiss).

Anyone who wants to Skype while I stream tonight shoot me a PM with your Skype name. I'll be out of work by 10pm EST, so I'll probably start streaming around 11. I'd be down to playtest via either MODO or Cockatrice.

draft strat for a block nobody is drafting anymore

People stopped drafting M15?

[card]Heliod's Emissary[/card]

He meant the one that tutors for an enchantment. Heliod's Pilgrim?

Two people are streaming the MOCS1: Finals if your interested - one is playing GW with 8 Hexproof creatrures and the other is playing Jund Monsters (I'm hoping to dodge them since I geared it to beat the top7 based on mtgogoldfish)

Owen and LSV both lost G1 (LSV had a 1-2 win, while Owen got dropped).
LSV lost G2 0-2 and dropped.

Team CFB is down....

I'm now 2-0 beating Jund Walkers and BW Control

Are you streaming?

Are you streaming?

I fear sniping/ghosting

Though I also failed in the basic recording department since I forgot to hit the record button for the 2nd game (its 1:33 AM downunder and I'm low on caffeine).

Jesus both streamers made it through G2, please don't pair them against me @_@ just keep giving my Tier1.

....app. GW Beatdown is big in this event, while I'll normally rejoice about this - the setup I have going right now doesn't fair well against fat creatures.

Good luck man. Get em.

Got crushed 0-2 vs GW, kinda wish I went with the tried and true set-up but I wasn't expecting a large GW showing - that said I played the game REALLY poorly, I'm gonna try doing a quick jog to wake-up.

I'm now 2-1, if I lose one more I most won't be able to get into top8.

Only one streamer left the GW Aggro with Hexproof Deck he went 2-1 as well (he paired against Rabble Red), I hope I get the Rabble Red MU next (that would be fun) or Jund Walkers.

Fuck her right in the pussy!

Why don't you just block out your hand for big events when streaming

Why don't you just block out your hand for big events when streaming

that actually is a solid idea - I really need to get in on this twitch action because I barely make $20 a month on youTube while players like Asuno (Fatsuno) rakes in 100+ in donations per day on twitch.

CrisaoSilva is out, Edel is out , myyamagat is also out (which means I'll most likely the only person still representing burn) lots of big names are dropping - this MOCS is going really oddly (this is bad for me as well since I need to skip rogue decks).

- - - - -

3-1 now, played BW again

- - - - -

3-2, lost vs Junk (darn rogue deck) can't top8 anymore since I lost these game much
too early (unless my opp. do extremely well - which they are surprisingly), thus I'm now playing for Top9-32

Annnnd I'm out (I tilted into a misplay vs BW) overall I put one lost on variance and two other on misplays on my end - for future events I manage my sleeping hours better and take more boarder approaches vs the meta.
