Yes, after I stopped using strategy and resource management and just mashed my thumbs on the keyboard, it all clicked!

So THAT is where I am going wrong. I am trying to think my way through things rather than facerolling the keyboard.

I heard that even a toddler was winning games with it

My toddler, yes. She has a higher win % than me.

Her mtgo rating is 1900. Don't feel bad.

New reality series: Toddlers & Top 8s.
Quite possibly the first reality show that is almost worth watching. Almost.

So glad I can't see my mtgo rating on the beta client. Life is full of enough sorrows.

The last 2 where kindly earnt by my Satyr Firedancer who single handedly crushed Pedros' GW deck of horror for me after SBing :)

Lazer:

Is that the matchup for Firedancer? I haven't brought him in all week, wasn't sure what matchup he was useful in. I haven't faced GW though so maybe that's why.

He destroys MonoU and GW and WW. Simply drop him T2 and just take them to pieces :) He's good against GR and Rx Devo too but you have to play him more carefully here as they have removal.

One does not simply drop him T2

Note that game 1 I didnt have any problems to kill you Lazer, and game 2 without him I would easily win probably. Also I didnt draw a single SB card for this matchup (no courage or god's willing)...

Because of you have 34 QPs ;p

Lazer hooked me up! Thanks so much.

Currently need 4 more fetches, some combination of Foothills and Cliffs... anyone?

I have a set of Scalding Tarn that you can borrow. Are you grinding QPs with Legacy burn?

Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 12:17 am

I have 4 Arid Mesa and 4 Scalding Tarn thank to LZ. I need 4 of either onslaught fetches (or 2/2 3/1) and sulfuric vortex.

I will be grinding QPs/preparing for Invitational

G1 you won by 1 life point :P Without Dancer the match is def in your favour but if you insist on playing decks with no removal :P

Hahaha yeah, I don't mind those updates, though they usually come after my morning perusal of Ellie Goulding's facebook page, so they're unecessary but not unappreciated.

For real though, anyone got 3 Sulfuric Vortexs and 4 Onslaught fetches I can use until the 27th of this month?

Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 1:34 am
by magicdownunder
Purp, can you record the fire rates of Legacy? From my understanding is horrible :(

Sulfuric Vortex are under >3.9 each while Onslaught fetches are cheaper then Zendikar fetches, so I suggest buying them then just winning back your cost (since I don't think we have any Legacy players here T_T).

Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 1:43 am
by Purp
Yeah I just bought them off MTOGTraders

I'd love to watch Legacy burn, will you be recording or streaming?

Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 2:40 am
by imopen2
yea I don't have any legacy stuff. I really should buy fetches because I can't imagine them going down online but it's also a hard 1000 ticket pill to swallow

Won an 8 man, 13 qps, need to get there one more time -- hopefully I'll get it tonight. Played B/w (hooray fated conflag on obz), mono red, and mirror. I may or may not have wild ricocheted his warleader's helix.

I love janky stuff like that. I've Reverberated a Cryptic Command or two in my adventures in Modern mono red.

The dailies do tend to fire. They just do it with 8-16 people. I am a big Legacy player but I am also on burn (have the primer up and everything) so I can't just give him my deck. Maybe I will stream a few tomorrow.

I'll go ahead and stream it, hopefully I wont have too much lag since Ill be in teh standard one as well.
