I miss having good red decks available.

This is only a few cards different than my first Standard deck when I came back to Magic.

[Thrillho]

results in the first few weeks of a new format are generally what you want to go and dedicate all of your time and energy to building around because those things never change.

As all my fellow FOSers know, if I REALLY wanted to, I could probably write an essay on why RW is tier 1 and better then the siege rhino decks.

As far as Fazz's draft goes, I stopped closely watching after pack and fast forwarded through since I think he clearly should've been blue and it seemed like he hadn't drafted the set much with so little mention of the bomb common aven surveyor. More importantly though, I detest green in FRF and new I wasn't interested in watching the gameplay videos. I also feel you massively overvalued hunt the weak. That card is ok and the buff to your guys is actually much better then it usually is, but I probably would've deviated colors for one of the black cards since say, reach of shadows feels much stronger as a card. I understand the value of being mono-colored, but by the nature of how the packs/incentive's work, you want to be enemy colors anyways and since you already passed up all the good blue, might as well cement yourself in GB since it looked fairly open.

Passinging infinite abzan guides is criminal. Not having fixing isn't even an excuse since it has morph and you're an 18 land deck anyways. Even if you draft zero lands, you can play 2 guides and go like, 8/8/2 and be fine. Simply having a morph as a curve filler is important, and as a slower deck, your often happy to trade it with your opponents morph all day everyday.

SoulDisi. You're a sidisi deck that's faster with the extra mana dorks, and you have the best resource management. Could see cutting some cards for downfalls or cuts so you have more interaction.

[Jamie]

jeskai is so garbage. I bet it'll win another gp.

[Jamie]

Welp
I'm a moderately skilled League of Legends player and there was a local chicago event coming up so my buddies were like yo lets 'steal that cash by winning at the event' and I was game but i was rusty as hell i hadnt played in 3 months which is a long time. So I watch professional players and watch professional vods for like 4 hours a night and took notes and put on my tryhard trousers to take the game seriously again.
Then team drama
then next week more team drama
then today we practice and everything goes fine for once, no drama
end practice, tell everyone ok be on tomorrow night? ok we're on for tomrrow night
step away for 2 hours, no one left int he facebook group
everyone quit.
2 hours of facebook drama to read through
its all glorious internet drama, but now I have no team.

Thanks for reading my blog

In other news i just obliterated my first modo draft since core set. 8-4 taken down with a retarded mardu deck.

Bloodsoaked champion, both chiefs, double bathe in Dragon fire, double pony back, double mardu war shrieker, ascendancy, two anthems and other shit I'm forgetting. Won round three purely from sideboarding. Game one, i lose to end hostilities and getting drowned in ca so i board in dutiful returned, bitter revaluation, and two high powered creatures for some removal and a typhoid rats. He ends and i return pony back and heelcutter to keep pressuring him before getting there with trumpet blast. Game three, i have a couple guys racing a siege rhino while I'm stuck on mana. Cast bitter rev for gas in middle of game, hit returned for more gas. Harsh sustenance him for the win.

Sideboarding is key boys and girls.

[Kaitscralt]

what are these anthems I keep seeing you refer to in limited

[Jack]

Yeah that meme's dead now

[Kaitscralt]

Looks like crap

[rcwraspy]

looks like a deck that Z likes to play and he knows how to win his meta with

[Kaitscralt]

no and no

[zemanjaski]

Don't give him the satisfaction of a response rcwraspy.

[Kaitscralt]

satisfy me

[Thrillho]

RW is a worse deck for the simple fact that you cannot cast Siege Rhino when you are only playing lands that tap for R and W mana.

[Stardust]

Then the rhino just sieges there, stuck in your hand.

You do still have him in the deck, right?

[Kaitscralt]

Some RW lists run Mana Confluence, I know this because a week or so ago while I was editing Siege Rhino's into everyone's deck lists I was surprised at how many could cast them

[Khaospawn]

[LP, of the Fires]

Kait: when i mention anthems, im usually referring to trumpet blast effects.

[hamfactorial]

When I mention bears, I'm usually referring to 7-drops with morph.

[hamfactorial]

Don't mind me, I've had too much coffee

[LP, of the Fires]

This is the deck I played Kait:

[deck]1 typhoid rats
1 bloodsoaked champion
1 sultai emissary
1 chief of the edge
1 chief of the scale
1 sandsteppe outcast
1 orc sureshot
2 mardu warshrieker
1 goblin heelcutter
1 mardu roughrider
2 ponyback brigade


1 collateral damage
1 take up arms
2 bathe in dragon fire
1 mardu ascendancy
1 trumpet blast
1 war flare
1 throttle

7 plains
6 swamp

SB:
1 dutiful returned
1 bitter revelation
1 canyon lurkers
1 bloodfire mentor
1 soul summons
1 temur battle rage
1 throttle
2 pressure point
[/deck]
All the sideboard cards listed, I boarded in at least once. The decks I played against where abzan with duneblast, GR ramp deck that sucked, and 4 color control with end hostilities and siege rhino.

[Stardust]

You... you beat Siege Rhino? You must have really lucked out.

[Stardust]

You must have really lucked out.

This is actually what my grade 12 English teacher said to me after I got 96% on the standardized final. Still salty.

[redthirst]

Got back to playing some Magic over the last week and here's my contribution: Tiny Leaders is an incredibly fun and challenging format that I'd suggest everyone try.

See? I still post.

[redthirst]

By the way Dolt, if you 're still playing Alesha, Fulminator Mage is an auto-include.

[Valdarith]

You've been gone so long they started worshipping MY dick!

[LP, of the Fires]

I don't think I've lost a match to anyone in khans that's played a sweeper against me in game 1.

[hamfactorial]

You've been gone so long they started worshipping MY dick!

[Lightning_Dolt]

By the way Dolt, if you 're still playing Alesha, Fulminator Mage is an auto-include.

I am, but not sure I want to drop that money with reprint looming.

[Lightning_Dolt]

Going to hopefully get some tiny leader in tonight.

[Kaitscralt]

is that what you call a night with the old lady

[Kaitscralt]

Kait: when i mention anthems, im usually referring to trumpet blast effects.

very confusing since anthem has a pre existing meaning in mtg

[LP, of the Fires]

I usually say anthem effect instead of just anthem for disambiguation purposes since I understand how it can cause confusion.

Also, am I the only one that hates drafting green? It's really bad. The best decks I draft are in order RW, mardu, jeskai, UW, UG, everything else.

[Khaospawn]

Machete don't draft.
