Dies to Removal

Ham is always famous. And delicious. If you know what I mean.

Where's that when I need it?

I grew out my beard to Castaway levels to see if it looked good, but it was terrible. All the hairs get curly and stiff, so I went back to the usual hipster stubble beard.

so you went from a Chris VanMeter neckbeard to a normal fat nerd neckbeard

Can I 9-0 day 1 again? Seems extremely unlikely.

well now you have a rep as a cheater so it's gonna be tough to get away with your crazy hijinks

True. Such adversity.

Thankfully I'm somewhat improved from the terrible player I was six months ago.

Two lightning strikes

cheat softly

in pro tour testing, pro mtg players determined black red is the worst color combination in 2015 limited

in FoS, it was determined to be the strongest

(for 2-X dropping)

Katie, where's the limited videos? I need you to guide me or I won't be able to reach the promised land of X-2 at my next limited event!

ESO

Would you fuck me. I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard.

girl look at that body

I remember once someone made an anti fedora comment and half of FoS said they wear them correctly

bitches love my fedora

At 20, you care what other people think of you.
At 40, you stop caring what other people think of you.
At 60, you realize no one was thinking of you to begin with.

that scale doesn't work with man children

I haven't seen any explanation why r/b is the worst combination. I just remember the sentence "we drafted r/b decks that looked fantastic and then played horribly, and G/W decks that looked horrible but played very well", or something like that. I still don't see any reason not to draft red/black because the individual card quality is the highest.... except for triplicate spirits so you must have one or two -1-1 to all nonblack creatures.

I guess g/w can be nuts when you have awesome starts with raise the alarm and start convoke spells by turn 3-4 . It is probably the most powerful combination when you have the nuts .... but r/b looks more solid in general to me.

wow

RB has no synergy and low creature quality, it pales in comparison to GW and the other combos

doing good in a sealed pre release doesn't make it a good limited combination going forward

Madding giving advice to FOS members who we all know are just going to ignore it.

ahah i'm not going to ignore it, but r/b simply serviced me well in some drafts, i'm not judging basing only on the prerelease. Of course the colors were

ahah i'm not going to ignore it, but r/b simply serviced me well in some drafts, i'm not judging basing only on the prerelease. Of course the colors were quite open... and of course the whole discussion is not very useful since forcing is probably a bad idea and one should just draft what is open. But i don't think there is any valid reason to actively avoid r/b .

But Madding, Cone of Flame is the best card in the format!!!11

you're a cone

I concede.

I concede when I go X-2.

I always play until the end. The only thing that pulls out in my house is the sofa.

Spam and Alex, you guys just made my day.

witch's familiar is the best card in the format

Anyone here ever struggle with knowing how good they are? I used to know exactly how good I was but not anymore. I think that means I'm getting better but idk. Like this weekend, I felt my play was overall mediocre, but I had my best finish in a fairly stacked event (multiple platinum and gold pros along with tons of old school vets).

Play more. Especially online.

I'm serious. I went through this about a month ago. I've learned to be a little bit more honest with myself and less dismissive. But when I know something now, I fucking know it.

Also, start keeping paper records of your games. I started doing that as of Saturday with my online testing for the PTQ. It's helped me assess my play better with honest
results.

Really, LP, this is all about breaking through a play barrier. Escaping a plateau, if you will.

Honest results? Just claim mana screw and poor draws like every other

Um. Ok.
