[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

[Lightning_Dolt]

Although the list confuses me...

[Lightning_Dolt]

At 1 & 3 ofs I mean.

[Kaitscralt]

I won a 1K today with the BG deck.

I'd like to see some proof all these "1K's" you claim to win A) exist and B) you win

[zemanjaski]

Sure, get Facebook.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Fucken UW Control...

[Lightning_Dolt]

It hurts to watch this. I think if he was paired against anything else, he'd probably win the whole thing. Sad days.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Keep in Game 2 was brutal.

[Tyrael]

Nyx-Fleece Ram is brutal

[Alex]

If Linvala cost 3 then babies would need to be sacrificed nightly to keep her from winning every game ever

I haven't played the matchup that much. UWr and Affinity make up 70%~ of the meta around here.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Keeping Mountain, Mutavault, Young Pyromancer, Lightning Strike, Warleader's Helix, Warleader's Helix, Warleader's Helix is brutal.

[Alex]

I did play against a guy playing Esper Gifts Ungiven in round 1. That motherfucker could not believe I knew every card in his deck since he was trying to go for the rogue route. #getfucked

[Lightning_Dolt]

#getfucked needs to be a thing

I liked spellings list. I posted something similar in the burn thread a while ago.

Would you play it moving forward? I'm playing in the WMCQ in 2 weeks. I think I'm going to use it as a baseline.

[Christen]

It's a bit ironic that the UW control deck won by doing the beats.

I'm not a burn player, ask MDU or Z. I like what the decks doing, but I'm playing Boss sligh, Rabblemaster red, or Mono-blue at my WMCQ.

Your prefference or you think those
decks are better?

Btw I saw your rabblemaster sideboard, looked really good.

Is rabblemaster this agro deck revolution was playing or rw channel fireball was?

[magicdownunder]

I personal believe you'll prefer Rabble Red over Rw Burn based on your deck preference in the past.

I for one can't play "aggro" decks, I'm just horrible at the combat step (pauper Affinity doesn't count)... so I'll stick with Burn - which helps because Drown in Sorrow scares me.

[LP, of the Fires]

Definitely preference.

There's not really a "best" deck, just a bunch of good ones, and it's important to pick one you're comfortable with as standards all about knowing how to generally execute your gameplan, but also how to adjust on the fly and make intuitive decisions. There's a reason why I've beaten every possible hate card with boss sligh. My opponent plays a card that's supposed to "win the game" by itself, and I'm playing a deck that's capable of winning any game with my help.

You have hosers in modern, not standard. Mono-black decks beat assemble, burn decks beat multiple duress(saw it happen in the last round of swiss), weenie decks beat sweepers, and mono-blue beats skylashers. Those cards are all good, but they're not blood moon, rain of gore, or leyline of sanctity. When you're an expert with your deck, you'll beat anything and everything so pick something you enjoy and become
an expert at it.

I'm not talking specific matchups, I'm talking every game of Magic EVER

[Lightning_Dolt]

I don't like playing decks with less than 23 lands.

[Lightning_Dolt]

22 in a pinch I guess.

[Dechs Kaison]

I don't play that many lands unless I'm doing EDH.

[Dechs Kaison]

Or draft, I suppose.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Hows that going for you?

I generally play 35-40 + rocks in EDH.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Does anyone have a decklist for what LSV was playing at the Pro Tour?

[Dechs Kaison]

My mono black deck runs 20 swamps and four dark rituals and curves out at 3. That works just fine.

My EDH decks vary a lot more.

[Valdarith]

Best play of the Pro Tour:

A play easily missed. Golgari Charm effectively became a Counterspell with a one-sided sweep.

[Khaospawn]

Best play of the Pro Tour:

http://youtu.be/O1ueErB8bms?t=44m48s

That was a helluva play.

[Dechs Kaison]

And look how chill he was playing it. Everything about that play was amazing. He slithered his Ooze up to block and even appeared to debate pumping it... Everything he could to bait out that Selesnya Charm that he expected.

Then he's just like: Cool story, bro. Here's a counterspellsweeper and you're on a two turn clock.

[redthirst]

Certainly outside-the-box. I'm also impressed with Cunningham's G/W Aggro - the power level of those creatures is pretty fucking up there.

[Tyrael]

G/W aggro has been the one of the best aggro decks since voice got printed... if they don't struggle with their mana which happens a lot more than you'd want, especially with a greedy mana base like Cunningham's

I understand you're an aggro deck but the G/W deck really needs all 12 dual lands

[zemanjaski]

It goes back to unplayable when people remember you can maindeck Lifebane zombie.

I can't imagine how many times he had to dodge the BW decks. Seems like there were a lot at the PT.

[Kaitscralt]

GW has been doing very well lately on every level of Standard event

[zemanjaski]

Nightveil Specter being a difficult to cast three mana do nothing helps.

[LP, of the Fires]

GW is predicated on the idea that playing a 3/3 for the first 3 turns is good enough, backed by combat tricks.

Basically, I think people finally figured out how to build the deck and it looks very good now. If you're on the play, you don't even care much about lifebane.

[Kaitscralt]

Everyone still plays Lifebane on the shit I watch

Disassociation with reality affects 1 of every 3 marsupials.
