Dies to Removal

Aesnath

Aesnath! Good to see you, sir, and dissertation defense is certainly an understandable reason for being focused elsewhere. Glad to hear that you're still around...how went the dissertation? The defense was a success--I am now done with all academic requirements of my degree. I should be a Psy.D. th...

Aesnath

Hey y'all, how's it been?

Sorry, I haven't been around much--too busy with defending my dissertation and moving to Ohio--missed everyone though.

Any good mono-R lists lying around?

Aesnath

People who go to college for real skills make me jealous. I should have done something more useful with those four years. :rofl: Try getting a doctorate in psychology: I've been in school longer than anyone here, I'd wager; my pay, prestige, and general world knowledge will likely not reflect that ...

Aesnath

Can anyone tell me what happened with R_A? I seem to have missed it. He picked "them" over "us" for no apparent reason that I can see. As far as I'm concerned, unreliable friends are no friends at all. I get that he may have disagreed with the R/x stuff, but the appropriate way ...

Aesnath

Wow, that is one hell of a busy weekend. My internet was down, but I missed a lot. Everyone's suspended from MTGS...again (not that it matters as much, but still). They are officially using this thread as evidence and RA's gone off the deep end. Oh, and Sasky's a mod and photo's older. Congratulatio...

I used to collect video games--I've been slowly selling off my collection since going to graduate school. I kept a few cool things though. I still have my Saturn and the import cart--was the only way to play the expanded Symphony of the Night and Radiant Silvergun back in the day. I also have a Turb...

Aesnath

I know this is kinda odd, since I wasn't really involved in the construction/maintenance of the R/x forum, but I'm rather enjoying some of these conflicts. When tubehunter suggested vexing devil a few days ago, I really lost it. So flippin' funny. I also really enjoyed S_A's definition of competitiv...

Aesnath

As a player who is mostly seated in Limited play, I have to say this, and it's going to sound mean, and I'm sorry for that: If you think sealed is a luckshoot, you are not as good at evaluating cards as you think you are. I've played sealed for every set from Kamigawa forwards, and I've never actua...

Aesnath

I'm a pretty big fan of the original Evil Dead series. I actually think Evil Dead 2 strikes the best balance between the comedy and humor elements of the franchise. I also saw the remake--I liked it OK, but it was missing something. I really disliked the actors and the attempt to create an emotional...

Aesnath

I agree with the crap shoot terminology for sealed--it is entirely possible to draw an inconsistent mess as well as overpowered insanity. I'm not saying good players can't rise above mediocre pulls, but there is a limit.

Aesnath

You're too creature heavy to really be a "burn" deck--as a result, I'd run something other than lava spike and vexing devil--either burn that functions as removal or reliable, aggressive creatures.

Figure of Destiny is perfect for this deck.

Agreed--a must have in this list.

Aesnath

Alex making friends! I'm very friendly. After all, I was a Disney prince! Maybe your facebook friends don't know about your princely status. I mean, how can you be homophobic when you are a part of the Disney monarchy? Disney is very gay-friendly recently. Jeez, the clan has been productive recentl...

Aesnath

Jeez, the clan has been productive recently! Alex making friends! Z educating MINDS! Tubehunter making the BEST VD suggestion I've ever freaking seen! Seriously, lots of laughs. @Still posting on MTGS: I'm torn, I still visit MTGS quite a bit, and post when I want to. The simple fact is, outside of ...

Aesnath

That list does not impress me.

Agreed. If burn was viable, I'd want to be a part of it. It isn't.

Lol why did he run cackler over stromkirk noble in that list?

Agreed.

Aesnath

So a deck with 4 Vexing Devils got 3rd place at the Columbus 5k. The fuck? What's the list look like? [deck]4 Ash Zealot 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Vexing Devil Creatures [16] 4 Boros Charm 4 Brimstone Volley 4 Pillar of Flame 4 Searing Spear 4 Skullcrack 3 Thunderbolt Spells [23] 4 Clifft...

*Jumps in* Hello Senori *jumps out* Like WCT mod Senori? What's he doing in here? Yes, that Senori, he was browsing this thread 10 mins ago. Obviously here for badass lessons. We should charge a fee. Maybe he asked Z about VD. It's important to speak with someone you can trust about such issues.

Aesnath

First off, happy birthday to the FoS people who have had recent ones (pyreheart, lorddax, and RT). I'm a bit surprised at the number of April birthdays around here. My birthday was on the 15th (but I tend to keep personal info off of public profiles, so that's why no one knew). As for DGM, it looks ...

Aesnath

Happy birthday, Pyreheart! We spent the evening playing and plotting Magic with Windstrider...the complexity of the current and upcoming meta makes my head hurt. Dammit...I've been saying for weeks that black needed a scalable sweeper, and we got one. Well, sort of. I can deal with it being somewha...

Aesnath

My 2 cents: I like the not-Chandra Banner.

Aesnath

@Huntmaster and rotation: My impression is that it creeped into a few lists, but nothing significant. I wouldn't entirely rule out him seeing play, but it isn't looking good. HOWEVER, he is a pretty unique card in terms being the mythic double-sided werewolf. I would not be surprised if he holds som...

Aesnath

Yeah they shut down the MBTA system (public transit - buses and commuter railways and subways and trolleys) early in the morning, and the circle of things getting shut down and essentially roped off has gotten wider and wider as more time has gone by without them getting the 2nd little fuck. Jeez--...

Aesnath

Not relevant to any of the decks you all are discussing, but how about that morphling variant?

I feel genuinely confused by several of the cards in this set.

Aesnath

I am a very powerful wizard.

Not helping your argument.

Aesnath

Obviously a fairy tale. Nobody has a playset of 'Goyfs.
does having a foil set and 2 non-foil sets also not meet this requirement?

All this proves is that you are highly unlikely to exist.

...

Unfortunate really.

Aesnath

I actually like how the general flow of this thread was: "Hey look, legitimate problem" "Let's discuss possible policy" "We disagree strongly!!!" Have a light internet fight "Everything's OK" "I miss a very specific pair of boobs" At least a page sol...

Aesnath

Eh, DGM will increase the supply, but not by a lot--we're talking two new shocks at most from a box. I think a drop may occur, but not a huge one. The demand continues to be high for most of them, so I don't see them falling too far. Long story short, if you want them to play them now, I'd pick them...

Suspension lifted on MTGS?

What to do, what to do...

Love Garbage's first two albums

As for MTGS, lurk until something looks like fun.

Aesnath

I want to murk people with a 10/10 that is immune to removal :( If there's one thing that is making magic, as a game, and standard, as a format, better, it is the incredible fun of unsolvable, unraceable creatures. I just don't get who thinks such creatures are a good idea. I want to put R&D in...

Aesnath

@photo: That's incredibly...awful. I wish you a peaceful mind and a serene heart tonight and on the nights that follow.

Aesnath

Debating getting a student loan to finance legacy goblins. Worth it? :P G'night folks. Frankly, when I purchased my black lotus, it involved student loan money. However, I was getting a deal, and I sold the damn thing for more than twice what I paid for it a couple of months ago. I'm not saying it'...

Aesnath

So about the new and improved Mana Drain...interesting card.

Breeding pools are cheap--I'm picking them up just in case. If mana drain is in standard, I want to be a part of it.

Aesnath

Platypus : why don't you try two Barbarian Rings out? Just take out two mountains. Excellent idea--I'm not a fan with the lavamancers, but without there's no reason not to. You guys are making me want to go play Legacy again. Do you know how much of a mistake that would be? Life-ruining. Like Tammy...

Aesnath

In my experience, you can do OK with as few as 6 fetches, but you certainly want more.

Aesnath

Yeah, stay away from the flambreaks against goyf--it will never kill it. You've just got to race the bastards; that's pretty much the solution to everything though. I firmly feel that burn decks need either grim lavamancer or figure. They occupy the unique position of being useful early and late, as...

Aesnath

@platypus: S/Bs are always best when tuned to your expected metagame. I can tell you that I like the faerie against things like reanimater and other similar strategies. Crypt is a reasonable card, but I would never side it in vs. goyf or the like. There are also upsides to relic of progenitus . If y...

Aesnath

Happy Birthday windstrider--do something this weekend. @legacy burn: Since I put a list together a couple of years ago, I've run it in several local events. Here's what you should know, you'll steal a few wins no matter what the meta is. However, if the meta features lots of combo, you're going to s...

Aesnath

I feel like mentioning, as others have done, that the random Queen break was incredibly epic. I'm proud of you all.

Aesnath

A little slow on the draw, eh Aesnath?

Always--also, really have trouble parsing multiple quotes on this board.

Aesnath

I love me some sad robot and wish he was always in print, but is getting a basic land going to do much good in this format?

If you're not running green, it sure seems like it.

Is this real life?

Or is this just fantasy?
