Genius at its finest: Tubehunter puts Rootbound Crag into play from hand. Tubehunter taps Rootbound Crag. Tubehunter taps Blood Crypt. Tubehunter puts Burning-Tree Emissary into play from hand. Tubehunter puts Mogg Flunkies into play from hand. It is now the ending phase. langel: the land must en...

This is actually a fine idea. I'll use all of my best Aussie stereotypes and see if I can still seal the deal. I will provide chat logs if successful. Just practise all those Aussie jingoisms with the most exaggerated Aussie twang you can force yourself to speak. Pick up a 6-pack of VB as well, the...

Working on Boros Landfall again; love that deck!

Modern Landfall? If it is, the deck is really fun. I'm not sure how good it is in Legacy though.

Kaze: About the only Delver deck that works in Standard is UG Delver. Even then, you'd be better off just not playing Delver.

Speedbump

@Khaos: Also add 3-4 Council of the Absolute in the sideboard. So busted against control naming [card]Sphinx's Revelation[/card].

I'm fucking around with Modern UWB Hatebears, trying to get all the cards for it. Deck is absurd against Combo.

Actually I'm contemplating on what kind of list I need to utilize Judge Judy so I can beat Red. Cuz, y'know, I only play Red and I need to be able to beat things like her and Junk..soooo... Ideas anyone? How can I make the sickest anti-Red Lavinia deck so I can run Khaos Deck Wins through the Gaunt...

@Platypus: Sorry to hear about 1-3. I think that a lot of testing would have made it 3-1. I'm thinking of setting up a deck testing area, so people can practise certain formats against other members. All we would have to do is to type what formats you play, as well as which decks in that format you ...

'morning, gents.

I feel kinda old this morning. Oh wait. I am kinda old this morning.

Meh. Age is just a number, right?

Happy birthday, you old bastard.

Age is just a number. You're just as old as who you feel.

I managed to again top 8 on a 3-1 record with jund aggro and then lost in the top 8 to the mirror. I'm not one to blame luck most of the time but g1 I mull to 5. G2 on t2 he drops 3 bte's and a boar. t3 a mangler. t4 Aristocrat. Yeah I can't compete with magical christmas land like that. I think yo...

Speedbump

Platypus: The PM wouldn't let me send this through, so I'm posting here for everyone to critique. Alrighty, the Meta explanations. Jund: Should be a straightforward win. Most of the losses are when a questionable hand is kept, and then ripped by discard. Post-sideboard, it's still a good match-up. J...

Day 59 redbros. How's everyone else doing with their personal goals? Fitness, magic, career, etc. Day 0. Some days you win, some days, your gf leaves for work at 7am. Magic is going alright. I'm trying to brew UW/UWg Hatebears, with help from much better Magic players in the clan. Started running a...

So, Legacy Burn... I might participate in a Legacy tournament next weekend, and I have basically two options: Legacy Burn and my counter-sliver deck. The sliver deck isn't really competitive, so that leaves me with one real option. So, I have this burn deck: [deck]19 Mountain 4 Lightning Bolt 4 Cha...

1-2 drop at the PTQ. Fucking angry; because I got a game loss for turning up 1 minute late, because the 162 player tournament only has one toilet. Opponent then only got a warning for casting a Think Twice , drawing the card, then getting to tap his mana accordingly. I'm going to get drunk and inst...

I have a shitty RDW deck I use for modern that might become burn in legaycy since I still have my chain lightnings I should ask for advice on sometime soon.

Hit me up if you do. I've got 2 years experience with it.

Guess who gets to try twenty different kinds of cake today for their wedding in a few weeks?

I'm going to get so carb-loaded.

Congrats man. I wish you the best of luck. ^^

#8: If you are playing the more traditional Red Deck Wins (8-12 Burn spells), you can hold your Burn spells back a lot later. This way, your opponent is forced to deal with having to wipe the board when they are around 10 life, in fear of lethal. And if you're playing the Aggro variants, it means th...

Speedbump

Sweet, would love to hear whatever you come up with :) Re: Boros, how is the mana working out? I think I would want to mostly keep the all-red creature base (because I think hitting white on 2 will be too much to ask, though I would love Wojek Halberdiers), but splashing for 2-3 Boros Charm seems p...

Speedbump

I find Modern to be ok, once I learned how to abuse Rakdos Charm . There is still the degenerate Combo decks in the format, but there are more fun answers to the Combo decks nowadays. I'm running RBg Burn, splashing the G to play Deathrite Shaman . Card's good. Still trying to make myself an avatar ...

Speedbump

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about Stonewright on a 19-land build. Seems counterproductive, and I'm a huge Stonewright proponent. Maybe at 20 I'd throw in a couple. I agree that Reckoner may not be where this deck wants to be, especially with all the removal being played to work around him now. Wo...

Speedbump

I like Stonewright with 21+ red sources. I don't think 'strictly better' means what you think it means :) I should elaborate better. I believe that with a lot of opponents going to run Supreme Verdict , the ability to still have a board presence afterwards makes the Rw version much more favourable ...

I just realized I'm 24 points shy of being able to play in the World Magic Cup Qualifiers :( That sucks... I was one win in the Modern PTQ away from trying to qualify for 'Straya. I didn't do too badly for playing a few months of the season. Thanks Jerry! I am at work! Celebrations have been delaye...

Speedbump

With Zero Testing, I'm just gonna say a bunch of stuff. If ever you go up to 20 lands for whatever reason, I'd play 2 hellriders. Just saying. 0 Stonewright HAS to be wrong. I'd like to see more pump affects ala dynacharge as game ending reach. It's actually very possible boros reckoner isn't good ...

Speedbump

I don't see what 19+ land has to do with the Traitorous Blood vs Mark of Mutiny discussion? Re: Pillar, it ranges from just good to really bad; I would rather have it in the board. I think all the problem scenarios you envision can be played around with the inherent synergies already in the maindec...

Speedbump

19 Mountain is the lowest that you'd want to go to, mainly because of needing to cast all the critical 2-costing spells. You have to give up on things like Hellrider if you go to that many lands though. You could in theory be sitting at 20 Mountain , cutting 1 Firefist Striker for the sideboard. Eve...

Cheers to y'all for the birthday wishes. The day was spent eating, drinking, and with my redhead gf. You know your day's going to be good when you get pounced on as soon as you wake up. ^^ Felt a little worse for wear today, but worth it. Went to work for an hour and a half today. Not enjoying the e...

And now I think I'm ready to die...I just had the poor judgment to go over to MTGS and read the latest discussion in the Dos Rakis thread.

Gwievyth's build is still seriously good for Brighthammer /propaganda It looked good but i lacked the restoration angels, which were pivotal in the build in testing. It just wasn't the same without them. I actually think that a more burn-heavy Boros does quite well in a PTQ or normal event, because...

Speedbump

I actually think that a more burn-heavy Boros does quite well in a PTQ or normal event, because everyone and his dog is going to try and out-race Reanimator before it comes online. I am preparing for a lot of Blitz decks, as well as a bunch of Reanimator decks. I'd be highly surprised if the meta we...

Glad we moved over here. Cunty moderating has been getting on my nerves recently. My UWR Delver deck is very bad, or maybe I'm a fucking bad pilot. Either way, I'm going to go with Rw Aggro, adding Boros Charm and Boros Reckoner. The meta where I am is full of Reanimator, so being able to race my op...
