Dies to Removal

DarthStabber

I call it "oh no you mardidn't".

DarthStabber

SSRIs reduce your libido significantly as a very common side effect. I'm still in it, and it'll probably be a while till I break, just because I feel zero temptation.

DarthStabber

So Ham, got some ham challenge questions. 1) does it count of I complete it accidentally? You just realize out of the blue you have met the requirements. 2) what's the policy on performance enhancing substances? Because SSRIs are very good for this. 3) if this becomes controversial I formally submit...

I find that the first couple of weeks is fantastic for speculating on commander cards. I made a good turn on my chromatic orbs (wish I would have kept one or two, and I even meant to, but I traded them all away accidentally).

DarthStabber

Been there, thank you pile of avatar of discords. It's worse when you're wrong about a card.

DarthStabber

Tested Avaricious Dragon, and it seems pretty meh.

This makes me sad

I miss grafted skullcap and mindstorm crown. He would probably be too good of he were mindstorm crown on a 4/4 for 4.

DarthStabber

So abbot of keral keep, a great red card from origins or the best red card from origins?

And is anyone else dealing with the urge to curve into avaricious dragon in standard? Last year curving into fanatic of mogis got me a lot of packs.

DarthStabber

Playing Xenagos as my commander, and seeing all those red and green cards, it makes me think of Christmas. Xenagos is Santa, and every turn he gives one lucky boy or girl (or wurm, or dragon, or beast, or plant, ect) a present. Burnished hart is his reindeer, helvault his bag of presents, gruul warp...

Islands are the mountains of the sea floor.

DarthStabber

So drafting red blue thopters is the win.

My last bf, a hot piece of mardu beef cake, left me for that slutty dragon I killed thousands of years ago. Bitch is so slutty he'll put out for any color of mana.

DarthStabber

How come every time I find a new bf his old friends come after me screaming home wrecker?

DarthStabber

Grabbed a xenagos and built this pretty quick, not tuned, most of it just shit I had lying around. Works really beautifully, play a creature, double it, swing, opponent plays removal spell, rinse, repeat. Probably needs more ramp, and some anti-synergies to be work out, but over all I like the way i...

DarthStabber

Probably not until rotation. He does fetch up deathmist raptor, and any number of other things, but in a world with nykthos and genesis hydra I don't see it. Having said that you should probably hold them, every article I've read is expecting them to go up significantly after rotation. I'm looking t...

DarthStabber

It's probably bad when the first metric I'm analyzing a card with (after what it does on an empty board) is "how does it interact with hordeling outburst and dragon fodder".

DarthStabber

Just got back from prereleasing. Got foil chandra in my 7 card pack, and went 5-2, did not lose any game where I untapped with her. At least 3 times it went chandra, untap, double dragon fodder. It may have just been my pool, since I saw no compelling reason to pollute the purity of 17 mountains. Re...

Epic GET

DarthStabber

Who'd have thunk that ancestral recall with the added cost of exiling your 'yard wouldn't be broken.

DarthStabber

why would that sound odd when this is a thread of people who say the same thing but about magic as a whole and not just modern

That's a very good point. I'm rarely in such like-minded company in meatspace.

DarthStabber

It may sound odd, but unless I'm playing either burn or infect, I'm just not going to play modern. Mostly I don't want to spend a lot of money on a deck when I could just go to the shop earlier and just draft. Thanks for the info though. Part of it might be just wanting to make pulse of the forge wo...

DarthStabber

What do you guys think about pulse of the forge in the Sideboard of modern burn for soul sisters? There's 2 people playing it at fnm, and out of 12 people who usually show for modern that's too many autofolds for my taste.

DarthStabber

Malignus + Xenagos, god of revels

DarthStabber

Dual decks: Jaya vs. Chandra

On a more serious note, if I have zurgo, ballstroker as my commander (tiny leaders) do I have to play extra to dash him after he's died a couple times, or is he like darevi where I can just keep paying 2 to dash him on turns where I have extra mana?

DarthStabber

Young pyromancer was mostly just a bear, I ended up with more enchantment based removal than instants or sorceries. Flowstone embracex2, fatal attraction, [card]seal of fire[card]. Did have brimstone volley, trumpet blast, and arrow storm, but that was it.

DarthStabber

Did a pick your packs draft last night. 4-1 finish with mono red after bringing a pack of modern masters 2, m14, and innistrad. P1P1 hellkite charger . Pack 2 pick 1young pyromancer, pack 3 pick 1 brimstone volley. Damn last night was awesome.

I was building a counterspell based control deck to play with my "nefew" (my brother is hosting a 16 yo Dutch foreign kid named Thor). He's not been paying that long, but he wanted to know why people don't like counter spells. I misread the shit out of spell contortion , completely missing...

Translating sjw points into ass is not the easy conversion you'd think.

DarthStabber

I see a lot of this type of shitstorm in atheist and lgbt spaces.

DarthStabber

Sjw = social justice warrior (usually with a negative context)

Cis = Cisgender, not Transgender

I definitely should have checked my privilege before assuming the redhead was a white girl. Hair dye is a thing. On the average day in St. Louis you'll see more black women with red hair than white. Interesting side note: I was listening to MaRo's podcast and he said that he believes that granting ...

DarthStabber

Who knew Chandra was Indian?

Yeah, it's a very Indian name. I used to work with a woman named Chandra, and her parents came here from India in the 70's.

Come to think of it Nalaar is also really Indian.

Disregard females, acquire Goblin Guides

If you have Hulu check out last night's nightly show, they go deeper into the story, it gets weirder the more you learn about it.

DarthStabber

So how the fuck did that crazy white lady in Washington convince anyone she's black, or even part black. The rest of the story doesn't even matter, the headline in Washington should be "first truly color blind state", because apparently everyone in that state is now too baked to tell black...

DarthStabber

New chandra is my favorite pinger of all time, must have for commander.

DarthStabber

What about volt charge?

It's an extra proliferate, and it can come as a cheap surprise.

DarthStabber

Where would this spell be in terms of playability?
PIERCING BOLT 1R
Sorcery
this deals 2 damage to target player and it's controller

DarthStabber

But it sure is fun
