Glad this shithole is still here.

Is there a facebook group or something that I didn't know about?

Jasper

Needs Makindi Sliderunner. Card's sweet, and gives very few fucks about Hangarback Walkers.

Jasper

Every deck I've brewed for post-rotation has been shit. Notably, all of these decks feature zero Siege Rhino. If this Grixis Dragons deck doesn't do well tomorrow, I'll be forced to play the Rhino on Saturday...

Jasper

Looks hot Jsilv. I especially like the Dragonmaster Outcasts being paired with Ojutai's Command. Was talking with my buddies about that, but I hadn't tested it yet.

Jasper

Not sure if this goes here, or if it belongs in it's own thread. Been testing a little bit, and it's done very well vs GW Aggro and Abzan Control. Currently 2-2 vs some aristocrats brew.

@Jasper: Are you still testing Atarka or are you now focused on MonoR/Blue Splash? - - - - - Anyone get the chance to play against GW Constellation with MonoR? I played against it a few times online and just Token + Command / Immense them to death but it seem like its unwinnable from the MonoR side...

Jasper

Monastery Mentor is bad.

Jasper

Ran Pat Cox's list, had to mulligan a million times, and kept flooding out. Went 4-2, for 12th today. My sideboard was a little different, but not by a lot. Thoughts: Boarded out the Titans Strength every game. It's only real benefit to me was the scry 1 on my greedy 1 lander keeps, casting it on my...

Jasper

Sounds good. I have a $1k tomorrow, not sure what I'm playing.

Jasper

3-3, trying to get top 32. Varience is such a bitch.

Ive got a couple beers in me now, maybe its helping. Anyone have any thoughts on red devotion?

Jasper

1-3. Won round 1, lost round 2 to Abzan with the nuts, lost round 3 to Temur bullshits from double stubborn denial, lost 4 to Temur bullshits.

1 loss, and im tossed into the Temur bracket. Lol. No real issues from the deck thus far, couple mulligans on zero landers. Just not my day.

Jasper

How close do you think you are on the numbers? Glory Chaser tested extremely well for me in another list that i was testing. Generally got in 5 damage in a game if played turn 1. Walks right around Caryatids and shit. Debating a last minute audible. My list has been testing very well, but you cant i...

Jasper

This is where I'm currently at. 4th Stoke may be too much without tokens, I'll figure that out today. [deck] Creatures 15 2 Zurgo Bellstriker 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Abbot of Keral Keep 3 Goblin Rabblemaster 2 Pia and Kirin Nalaar Spells 24 3 Wild Slash 4 Searing Blood 4 Lightning Strike 4 Atarka's...

Jasper

Jasper, how was the singleton Roast in your main board? Worth it instead of the Stoke? Assuming your logic was cutting a Stoke for a Roast. Even Scout seems better than Valley Dasher... The singleton Roast has been fine, given that the two largest decks in the paper format are Abzan and GR Devotion...

Jasper

How did the mana feel? Did you ever want to go up to a 4th confluence and drop a temple or anything? Mana felt fine, and the Temples were actually pretty nice. I intended to run 3 Temples and 2 Confluence the morning of the event actually, but didn't have enough time to hit a vendor, slept in late....

Jasper

Played in the Standard Super Sunday series event today at GP Dallas. Went 7-0-1, the only undefeated deck from the swiss. I put this together around 3:00am, taking various ideas from other red decks that day 2'ed the Open last weekend, and that one Japanese tournament. Also read a little around here...

Jasper

Back to testing Mardu again. 4-0 at FNM build. Played against GR Devotion, Mardu Midrange, Mono Red, and Esper Dragons. 2 strong tournament players, 2 decent players. [deck]Creatures 15 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Seeker of the Way 4 Abbot of Keral Keep 3 Soulfire Grand Master Spells 19 2 Kolaghan's Co...

Jasper

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. Card's actually insane. Trying to get some foil Abbot's now s...

Jasper

Anyone else on here going to the Columbus Invitational? Also, if anyone has any tips, id be happy to read them. Planning on playing Mardu Dragons for Standard, and RW Burn for modern. Ive also been playtesting Hamfactorials Baby Boros, and it seems really strong, im just not too comfortable in Modern.

Jasper

Lost 3 consecutive win and ins and missed top 8. Hahahaha.

IQ tomorrow though. Id like the mono red matchup to be better...

Thoughts?

Jasper

Generally speaking, they only play 1 threat per turn, so if you Seeker on 2, you can just play removal until they take a turn to cast a removal spell and a creature, and then you dragon them. Thoughtseize is there to catch anything that is a 2 for 1 or greater. Sometimes my Seeker is just good for t...

Jasper

What's your SB plan against Abzan Aggro guys? Mine has been -Rabbles -2drops -any dead removal (Command, Slash if any etc.) and board in basically the whole SB (RtB, Wound, Crux, Sieges, Seizes, Duresses if any, Dragonlords if any). Not sure about boarding PWs in and definitely not boarding in Ange...

Jasper

Mad Max was fucking amazing, end of story.

Jasper

Im horrible at doing tourney reports because i dont keep many notes, but heres what i have written down and some things i remember. W R1, Abzan Control. Win. Dont remember much, but i do remember the match being extremely easy. My main testing buddy took his Abzan Control to 23rd, so i had solid pra...

Jasper

On the topic of Mardu, I got 12th place at the Dallas Open on Mardu Dragons. Felt pretty good, since I audibled onto it at like 3 am Saturday.

Literally just copy-pasted Turtenwalds list with the mana base changes he suggested, and replaced the 2 Outpost Siege with 2 Chandra, Pyromaster.

Jasper

Senpai noticed me guys...

I don't even know how to respond.

Jasper

Got first at an IQ yesterday with the following list. Put it together the night before, following some of the things you guys were talking about in the thread. Got my invite just in time for Columbus, my old home town. 4 Foundry Street Denizen 4 Monastery Swiftspear 3 Zurgo Bellstriker 1 Lightning B...

Didn't do so hot at the GP. Changed the burn package around and did 4 Claws, 1 Stoke, and added a 2nd Queen in the main. I think I'm just going to keep playing this until I find something else that I feel comfortable playing. Izzet Burn seems like it might be something I'd enjoy, not sure. Oh, and t...

Jasper

I think I should start retesting Mardu Charm with this meta even if it feels awkward. If it somehow was able to hit Stormbreath Dragon, it might be playable. If it dealt 5 damage, it would definitely be playable. As it is, it's just not quite good enough. Hell, if it could go to the face, I'd play ...

Jasper

So you'd say it was a good choice for the weekend, or no?

I'd say so, as long as you had a plan to bust open the mirror. My buddy Chris Top 8'ed Super Sunday with Mardu Mid.

Jasper

Scrumped out of GP San Antonio with my GR Aggro list. Played against a bunch of rogue shit. Super Sunday, i played against Mardu 6 of the 8 rounds. 1 round was no opponent, another was Boss Sligh.

Mardu, Mardu everywhere...

And I can't buy a single C14 deck because the stores here only sell all decks as a set.

Commander

Pleb.

Jasper

Never did do much testing on that RWb build I posted above. Anyone else try it out?

I'm liking Crackling Doom more and more from reading about it and seeing it played in other decks.

Jasper

Just take this primer:

viewtopic.php?f=96&t=602

and update it.

Shit, if you're lazy, just move that whole thread back where it belongs. Too much useful information for it to just be rotting in the archive.

Jasper

http://www.starcitygames.com/article/29594_Making-A-Faster-Monster.html Relevant article. The list he posts at the end is very similar to what I have at the beginning of the thread. Feels like I'm on to something. Creatures (19) 4 Ashcloud Phoenix 4 Goblin Rabblemaster 2 Rattleclaw Mystic 4 Stormbre...
