Even though it does support more, I don't like playing with more. The bases are designed with a certain breakpoint. I've played 5 player a few times and didn't really care for it since I felt like I had far less impact on the game overall (since often I would play a guy and the base would score bef...

I'm interested in buying a few more multiplayer games. My girl's coworkers have a family dinner every Sunday that we go to. We drink and usually play Cards Against Humanity, but there's only so many times we can do that before it gets stale. One of them plays Magic, but the rest have no desire to l...

Finally. A Goblin Walker

NerdBoyWonder

I stayed away from Courser because he just doesn't jive with the overall game plan. Rabblemaster could probably be replaced in the deck but I don't believe there are other cards that can replace him at this time. Also I've won too many games going Elvish Mystic into Rabblemaster on 2. I suggest tryi...

I tested it a bit and I seem to draw into the mana dorks too much. It happens at times. Are you on Kibler's build or my Rabble Temur build? If you are on Kibler's build one of his recent articles on SCG regarding the deck has an argument for and against the fourth Elvish Mystic. I prefer the fourth...

NerdBoyWonder

Hey NBW, what would you consider as this deck's weakness? I'm considering trying it out since my beloved Abzan Aggro has a bad match up against my meta. Small Red Aggro seems to be the weakness. I bring in 3x Magma Sprays and 3x Arc Lightnings to handle them though. Key is to switch into control. P...

Will update soon as well as add more content regarding the core lists as well as my own decklist and departure from the core list.

For the record, I don't think he should have been allowed to own a game store given his specific crime. Just, again, like a bank robber shouldn't be allowed to work in a bank. Maybe if he only stocked adult-rated games or something, but by nature of stocking what I assume are games rated at least t...

Wizards has the right to refuse business to whoever they want. They didn't shut him down, but they certainly weren't going to condone his previous actions (not to mention potentially endanger children in the process) by keeping him afloat either. You just said what I was trying to convey in the pos...

The lynch mob will only act based on emotions which is why it's a horrible idea to have any kind of involvement of the public when it comes to justice Justice is supposed to be objective and fair, that angry lynch mob standing outside the court room is anything but that I don't want anyone to be th...

Why was he allowed to keep his store after the conviction? Did he not get jail time? If the law says he can have his store, I don't think it's morally right for Wizards to say that he can't (and they definitely know how pulling their product would ruin him). He had one before he was convicted which...

Kibler recently made an argument against Caryatid in Temur aggro in his recent SCG premium article. He is not for Caryatid for pretty much the same reason I am against it. It does not do damage and only fixes your mana because you need permanent fixing. He does state that the deck does have cards th...

Seems underpowered in a UR Delver world

No Delver tonight but I agree. Still forcing that bitch anyway.

NerdBoyWonder

Played Modern Jund with 3 Rabblemaster. Love that card.

NerdBoyWonder

This is more R/g Aggro than monsters. Monsters can be aggressive but plays a different game.

Buy Savage Knuckleblades. Preferably in bulk.

Got my playset and have been wrecking face with them. Favorite card of the set.

NerdBoyWonder

But he's0 playing abzan midrange... :no2: True. He's essentially played the same deck the last few seasons regardless of color make up. Super happy for him as he has done the best out of the 4 from our LGS that went. Didn't get a second playmat today getting knocked out by double Deflecting Palm fr...

My friend is 8-2 right now at GPLA with Abzan Midrange.

Game Day report coming soon. Took home the mat.

Took first at my game day beating Abzan Midrange using my Temur Aggro deck. Ashcloud Phoenix is boss. Going to try and get a second mat tomorrow.

NBW: If you expect Butcher of the Horde, maybe bring in a Sarkhan, or two, to deal with it. Here's my latest list. Having seen the Heir in some Abzan builds, I wonder if it might not merit a second look here. Creatures 4 Sylvan Caryatid 4 Rattleclaw Mystic 3 Heir of the Wilds 4 Goblin Rabblemaster ...

I can't seem to come up with a good Mardu deck which is frustrating.

I was having the same problem. That is why I have switched over to Temur and having a good ol time with it.

How are you performing versus Mardu control? When you say Mardu Control, I assume that you mean stuff like Butcher of the Horde, Rabblemasters, Brimaz and a dragon--either Stormbreath or Sarkhan--with spells like Crackling Doom. Mardu Superfriends/Control. That other Mardu deck is Mardu Midrange an...

Box mapping has to do with patterns in print runs and if you can collect enough data, you can know the exact contents of each packs in each box you open.

Keeping the aggressive gameplan, I wonder if we shouldn't go Jund for Rakshasa Deathdealer? It fits on a curve and gets better as we land mana sinks: your opponent will have to decide whether or not they want to throw their beaters in the path of the Deathdealer or just take the damage. Plus it can...

Played against 2 Abzan Caryatid/Courser/Siege Rhino decks yesterday. The matches were pretty even. Lots of back and forth unless either of us drew ridiculous. If they go Caryatid into Courser into Rhino while we have no acceleration they gain so much life the game is out of our reach. On the other h...

NerdBoyWonder

Full update when I get home but I hate Seige Rhino with a passion. Going to have to find a way to deal with him.

NerdBoyWonder

Going to try the Aven and Crater Claw tonight. Stbborn Denial is good but not mainboard good. Definitley having them in the side along with Arc Lightning. Will report back later with results.

NerdBoyWonder

Fine point. I like that we can recover from Anger of the Gods moreso than the Caryatid/Courser combo deck. I would suggest removing Arc Lightning in favor of Crater's Claws. Being able to take down larger threats like Siege Rhino without having to bank on getting Stormbreath Dragon in hand seems us...

NerdBoyWonder

I'd be very interested in why play Temur Aggro over Monsters. Also, what advantage do we get from Rattleclaw Mystic vs Sylvan Caryatid? Both get swept by Anger of the Gods, but the Caryatid is, at least, protected from targeted removal. Being aggressive instead of defensive and reactive is my big p...

Kind of surprised by the lack of Walkers in this deck. Other then that it is a solid Monsters build.
