Dies to Removal

What don't you like about it? Is it just the fact that it doesn't do anything until really late?

I'm kind of a fan of "I win" buttons, so I play 2. The deck has a lot more flex slots than most.

UR Delver decks are all about gaining small edges with cheap counters and some efficient creatures. Pike is win-more, and you're likely winning already if your Delver/YP$ is connecting in combat unopposed. The 4 mana that you spend to play and equip it will give your opponent a window to kill your relatively fragile win conditions.

But sometimes Pike is an oops-I-win, so #yolo

Except sometimes it's not. Sometimes you both end up hellbent after you finish up a counter war with your snapcaster on the battlefield, so that accelerated clock is really important. Other times you have a pike out, 11 instants and sorceries in your yard and 9 creatures left in your deck, and if your opponent is out of resources, the game is over when you draw that creature.


...shit, I guess it's just a wannabe manland.

You definitely never tap out for it, though.

It's a late-game card. It's REALLY good against UWR control because short of countering it or bouncing it with Cryptic they have no way of interacting with it, so every creature you play or create is a must-answer. This allows you to actually play the control role in the matchup (counterintuitive, but it works).

I do think Grim Lavamancer is the better all-around
card though. I'd just not run it without at least four fetches.

I'm working on possibly borrowing fetches. If I do, I'll be playing Grim $-mancer

I really hope we get enemy-color Celestial Colonnade-type lands next block.

Though that won't happen, because they won't do 15 rare CIPT duals for Standard.

I really hope we get enemy-color Celestial Colonnade-type lands next block.

This would make me super happy.

Happy B-day Raida.

A RW man land would be amaze, even if it was just a bear.

That's interesting, actually. I'm not sure if I'd play it over Mutavault (entering untapped is probably better than tapping for two colors), but a R/W Ghitu Encampment with haste or vigilance added would probably be reasonable.

Mostly I'd just love a RW dual for my Modern deck, because I'm prone to flooding on 24/25 land. Even if it was wimpy, it would be better than another Clifftop Retreat.

If only

I just tweaked my wrist doing a burpee. lol.

Burpees are pure evil. I couldn't complete my workout yesterday, which included a 10-1 reverse pyramid of burpees.

Burpees are hardcore. I'm not that hardcore, apparently.

The term Burpee gives me flashbacks...along with anything exercise related.

What would you expect me to say after ~100 pages without me.
Penis.

yarpus is back

Didn't had access to internet for a longer while. I also had to deal with stuff. Broke up with girlfriend just for an example. Weird shit, weird times.
I'm totally off MTG now, so consider me to be mostly a companion for a dick paegantry.

Oh, and even as a fan of ERB I have to say this shit is next level.

My sister got into Facebook and I'm already sorry for any mental scars she leaves you with.

Just built UWR Kiki Control. On another note Happy Bday Raida!

Happy b-day Raida and LD in case I'm not in tomorrow.

Happy birthday Lightning_Dolt!

I'm scared to ask what deck you were playing that had this combination of cards in it...
