Dies to Removal

Now, to the mists I return.

Hey! Where do you think you're going?!

get out!

So red decks just got a pretty decent creature card:


Borderland Marauder 1R
Creature - Human Warrior (C)
When borderland Marauder attacks, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn.
Though she is rightly feared, there are relatively few tales of her deeds in battle, for few survive her raids.
1/2

I'd tap that.

Don't hate it... but don't particularly love it either.

Of course, I haven't played a game of Magic in over a month and haven't played Standard in any real capacity in nearly a year so it's very possible I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

it's a piece of shit

[deck]Creatures (28)
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Firedrinker Satyr
2 Legion Loyalist
4 Ash Zealot
4 Borderland Marauder
4 Prophetic Flamespeaker
4 Paragon of Fierce Defiance
2 Purphoros, God of the Forge

Other Spells (10):
2 Chandra, Pyromaster
4 Lightning Strike
4 Stoke the Flames

Lands (22):
2 Mutavault
20 Mountain[/deck]

Wow, such red. Much Mountains. Wow.

Tried out Nicholas Heal's Modern RDW deck. Just did not work for me. Sticking with Kiki Control as my main with Zoo as my back up/screw around Modern deck. I will probably write up a Primer for Kiki control when I have the time.

I was looking into skipping out on double core standard summer but m15 looks pretty interesting to keep me hooked.

Happy bday pka

Blasphemy! Heal's deck too stronk!

Willing to help with Kiki Control Primer.

Thinking of jumping into modo because my job is preventing me from playing... advice for getting started?

Also, what are the suggested computer requirements for streaming / recording videos on modo?

Who do I talk to about joining the MODO clan?

No idea wtf i'm doing lol.

With access of off color painlands, what 2 color (no 1 color with a splash) agro deck looks best currently? Having 12 untapped lands + temple might make it doable.

MDU has had great success with Boros Aggro variants so far, I would also think about Rakdos variants

Gtfo.

Old scrumper is best scrumper.

If I cast Karn and target Oblivion Stone with his exile ability, can the guy respond and sac the o stone? I figure it's yes and it's sad.

@droppin As long as the stone is untapped then yes.

Well.... here are the requirements for V4 Beta (I recommend getting started with Beta rather then V3 because on July the 16th (I think) V3 will be scraped):

Minimum
Operating System: Windows XP SP3
Processor: Pentium 4 class machine minimum 2 GHz
Memory: 1 GB (32-bit OS) or 2 GB (64-bit OS)
Video Card : 128MB video RAM
Resolution: 1024x768
Disk Space : 650 MB free
Internet: Broadband Connection

Recommended
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i Series or equivalent
Memory: 4 GB
Video Card : Hardware Accelerated SPU - 512MB video RAM
Resolution: 1280x1024 or
higher
Disk Space : 1 GB free
Internet: Broadband Connection

Price for MODO $10, when you start you'll have:

5 Event Tickets (the online currency)
20 New player points (special currency too play against other new players (be warn sometimes you may face asshole crappy grinders abusing the system)) <-- this is a new thing, its a great way too start and earn Event Tickets
5 Avatars (including the one I use )
650+ cards (which are crap)

Information source: Mothership

For streaming and recording I suggest using Open Broadcaster Software because its excellent and free, for editing (not really needed) Windows Movie Maker would be fine (its not the best but its
free and good for animations).

In regards with getting started:

A) Post your username here

B) Fork out roughly $120 for a finished standard burn deck or you can ask around the clan and borrow cards.

C) Save the names of solid Bots, I suggest asking Kait about this since I just use Goatbots for speed reasons - you will be visiting these bots often too trade booster for Event Tickets (the modo currency) - (this most likely won't matter, but you can sell each Event Tickets for 0.95 US cents)

D) Keep in mind MTGO can be either very expensive or free depending on your skill level, Dpaine88 for example just join MODO yesterday and he already finish two SE events and a few others only dropping one game.

1 SE event cost $6 Event Tickets to enter and going 3-0 earns you 2x JOU, 2x THS and 1x BNG which you can roughly sell for $11 Event Tickets earning you
a $5 profit - playing DE's can earn you even more and once VM ends on July 2nd the booster prices are forecast to raise (hopefully) so our overall earning should improve.

E) Have fun, chat with us in the DtR Clan thread - don't be afraid to ask for help.

L_D:

I'm happy to help get you started on MTGO, playing or streaming.

I recommend not even bothering with 8 mans right now. The EV is so low that it's just not worth it. My schedule precludes me from doing DEs so I've not been motivated to play much due to the terrible returns on packs.

I'm trying to join a new player draft. Hopefully i'll have some idea of what's up after that.

@ MDU, you have to win the SE? No points for second?

Here we go...

@ MDU, you have to win the SE? No points for second?

You get points for 1-1, 2-1 and 3-0 in SE (8-Mans) but like Val said the EV is horrible right now so its not really recommended unless your confident.

Christ this is painful. People actually enjoy this?

Did the client crash on you or do you miss the human element?

EDIT: Did anyone else struggle too get into this site for the last 1.5 days?

Site was unbelievably slow for the past two days.

How bout that Chord of Calling reprint? How can I NOT play green from M15 on now?

Mono green nykthos into worst fears/garruk

I couldn't get to the site for the past two days or so. I know a few others had problems as well.

MODO has a bit of a frustrating learning curve given how iffy the software is. Just stick with it and it will become bearable and eventually useful for testing.

I couldn't get on at all yesterday or earlier today

Site was unbelievably slow for the past two days.

Apparently there is some problem with the switch the server is connected to. I've moved it to another location while this is getting fixed.

Also, since I couldn't get on the site yesterday, a happy belated birthday to Midnight_v.

I crave human interaction too much to play MTGO. I love the shuffling, the feel of my cards, the way my opponent plays footsie with me......
