I like the main deck. Few questions about the side:

- What match up is searing blood for? Is it there to be searing blaze number 5?
- Why flames of the bloodhand over atarka's command?

@MDU: I have yet to go against any RUG Delver decks in my local meta. It's paper so it'll take people longer to adjust, but so far, it's lots of Burn, Infect, Jund, RG Tron, Merfolk, and Bx Eldrazi. --- I'm thinking about going to the SCG Regionals next Saturday with this list: Creatures (13) 4 Gobl...

Bacon is delicious.

LoL sucks because no matter how good you are, one person can A) be terrible and cause you to waste 20 minutes + waiting to lose or B) can just troll you from the start and you have to wait 20 minutes to surrender. Long live vCoD/UO and CS 1.5 I made it to Diamond I by being better than my opponents...

The typical DotA/LoL/HoN whatever community is a bunch of loud mouthed wanna-be's nagging you for every decision that goes against the established meta and mistake (yours or theirs, it's your fault). Everyone thinks they're an upcoming pro where their Elo/MMR/Rank doesn't reflect their true skill an...

If it were pick 1, Icy Blast. I think it's the best card in the pack. If it were pick 2, my debate is between Burn Away, Bring Low, Kill Shot, and Wind-Scarred Crag. I'm partial to Kill Shot as it's a cheap answer to everything that's trying to kill me. I like Wind-Scarred Crag as a pick because I t...

DerWille

It's a big scrumper but still hairy and smelly like any good scrumper should be. I can't comment on the deck much since I'm not experienced in building and running that sort of build. My initial thought is that you might be a little too top heavy (4, 5, and 6 drops) without any card draw engines to ...

Happy B-Day, LP Man, GP Orlando was a fucking blast. Once I figured out a system to go infinite in the win-a-boxes, it's been nothing but profit. I made a lot of money and won a ton LOT of cards and played soooo many games of Magic. I also waded through stenches of the foulest odors, battled my way...

Good post Lazerburn, I like the creature curve you've got going. I might steal a little of that myself. Be sure to post how Hammerhand is working for you. I can see what you're going for, but I'm skeptical about it. I was thinking about something like this in the main: [deck] Creatures (23) 4 Firedr...

Took the deck to FNM for a 3-1 finish. Overall I'm not as happy with this version as I was the one I took to the win a box tournament. Thoughts on the changes: Hordeling Outburst is awesome. I liked playing it every time I did. Mogis's Warhound + Prophetic Flamespeaker were mediocre. I think the pro...

I'm thinking about running something like this tomorrow. [deck=Look Mommy! My Red Little Scrumper Is Getting Bigger!] Creatures (22) 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Borderland Marauder 4 Mogis's Warhound 4 Goblin Rabblemaster 2 Prophetic Flamespeaker 4 Ashcloud Phoenix Spells (16) 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Stri...

DerWille

Ok this one. I was thinking about DerViles (he has them in SB). Also need info about both Purphoros and Ashcloud Phoenix. I brought in Purphoros in any sort of match up where I thought my opponent was overloaded on removal. He makes all of my creatures into Shock which lets me keep up pressure. His...

I went went 5-1 at the win a box tournament last night, splitting for 1st.

Ya know LP, sometimes, the obvious is so elusive.

DerWille

For the open slot my buddy made another suggestion that I like, Phyrexian Revoker. Against any sort of planeswalker based deck, this fucks with their strategy pretty hard. It's a lightning rod for removal though and I'm not sure if it would be better than some number of Purphoros and Chandra.

DerWille

Did some more testing against the BUG list with Chandra and Purphoros. Chandra is good for digging and getting blockers out of the way, but she didn't take over the game like Purphoros did. She was usually dealt with. Purphoros did better by turning the deck into burn spells. His pump ended up being...

@amcfviera The bird is something you need just need to play with. I was skeptical of a 4/1 flier without a haste, but then I went off with it. That bird will completely take over a game. Without 6 mana, your opponent must 2 for 1 themselves to get rid of it. With 6 mana they need to 3 for 1 themselv...

I did some testing against a BUG control list with this: [deck=Livin' The Scrump Life] Creatures (20) 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 War-Name Aspirant 4 Goblin Rabblemaster 4 Ash-Cloud Phoenix Spells (18) 4 Titan's Strength 4 Magma Jet 4 Lightning Strike 2 Arc Lightning 4 Stoke the Fla...

DerWille

I haven't touched this list, but I'm not loving all the creatures in it. That's as far as my commentary can go without shuffling up. I'm assuming you would rather go into caryatid/courser into Temur Monster route or would you just do something different in the colors? Honestly I am not sure. RUG is...

Ok people, start churning out red aggro decks. I'm unhappy with all of mine and I need ideas. I've been playing around with a token theme, I have two ideas. Probably aren't that amazing but whatever.

Lsd and mtg don't mix. That's now been established for me. Should have gone without saying I suppose. Guy at my LGS was recently diagnosed with cancer and fell down the stairs and broke his leg.

I think I found my 4 drop.

DerWille

Have you considered using Purphoros? It'd turn all the token makers into free burn spells.

DerWille

I really like the art for these lands. They're beautiful, exotic, and make Tarkir seem like a real place.

DerWille

I giant meandering turtle makes me laugh. It does not make me want to play it.

DerWille

This does set feel on the weaker side. It also has an obsession with 5 drops. I'm not sure why they're going in this direction, but it reminds me of how Riot balanced League of Legends for years. Everything got weaker and "fun sized".

DerWille

After looking at this guy for awhile, I gotta say, I like him. He does almost everything I'd want a creature to do.

DerWille

Listen to everything that LP said. Learn to calculate your clock. A clock is how many turns does your opponent have before they die based on your hand and board state. For example, if you have a Cackler and an Ash Zealot on the field and they have no blockers and are at 20 life, then they have a 5 t...

DerWille

I wonder how playable the Ankle Biter will be with Rabblemaster in some sort of Mardu aggro deck with a goblin (sub)theme. This guy would basically let you stop worrying about blockers and just swing for the fences each time.

DerWille

I'm keeping my play set, but I'm a sucker for tribal decks. If you don't need them, sell them. Turn that money into other modern or standard staples you do need.

DerWille

Katie, where's the limited videos? I need you to guide me or I won't be able to reach the promised land of X-2 at my next limited event!

Hey, it's a crack-a-pack!

I'll give my pick priority.

Avacyn > Stoke the Flames > Ulcerate > Covenant of Blood > Borderland Marauder > Midnight Guard > Encrust > Research Assistant > Oreskos Swiftclaw > Torch Fiend

I saw the Conley Woods vs Ivan Floch match last night. Ivan's expression was great. It's like you could see him thinking, "The fuck is this?" and then chuckling to himself, "The fuck is this FNM deck at the PT?"

DerWille

I think you had a really solid BG list. I think I would have tried something like [deck] Creatures (15) 1 Satyr Wayfinder 2 Venom Sliver 1 Invasive Species 1 Gargoyle Sentinel 2 Netcaster Spider 1 Witch's Familiar 1 Gravedigger 1 Living Totem 1 Zof Shade 2 Shadowcloak Vampire 1 Genesis Hydra 1 Siege...

@Taking too long - As long as you're not stalling, take all the time you need. If they get pissed off, tell them to fuck off. Think your decisions through properly. They can learn to wait. I usually take longer than average to finish a game. At the stores I frequent I'm known to take the longest of ...
