Dies to Removal

thats the real prize

So...new Iron Maiden album.


Any thoughts, Khaos?

God only the winners of 5k's get asked what they think of new albums

Well, I value his opinion on both red scrumper decks and new IM and Trivium albums...

Which reminds me...there's some new Trivium songs out as well, I should've asked for his opinion of those as well.

Haven't heard the new Maiden album yet. Guess I should get on that.

I've heard 3 of the new Trivium songs. I absolutely freakin' love Blind Leading the Blind. Love it. Silence in the Snow is alright. It's a little different than what I'm used to, but it's still Trivium. I can't remember the name of the third song, mostly cuz i don't like it all too much. It's sounds way too much like that song Diary of Jane, which I despise.

Khaos is still trying to find his place in the diary of Jane.

The first time i heard that song i thought he was singing "I will try to find my place in the diarrhea pain."

Trivium is shit tier metal

Can't tell if trolling or serious.

Yeah, Kappa is really ambiguous

Who or what is a Kappa?

yo mama

Kait dropping bombs ITT

Kappa is a Twitch emote (the one he used) that denotes sarcasm.

Also, I've listened to the first 45 mins of the RDW podcast, but now I'm travelling and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse wins with the kids. So far so good, but it brought up a couple of points I'd like to talk to you about.

Nice, I didn't know the podcast was out there. I'm downloading it now.

If there isn't a 20 minute discussion on the best full art Mountain I'll be very upset.

Towards the end I was officially drunk.

Val, I can't wait to hear your points.

They're more like ideas, not points.

For the record, I really liked your explanation of the single Ashcloud over the fourth Thunderbreak.

I'm playing that jeskai control deck brad nelson posted yesterday and now I'm the scummy uw control player winning game1 then timing out the opponent game2.

I want that list :Q

4 Ojutai's Commands? O_O

It's a good card.

You're a good card.

I'm certainly no Vexing Devil.

Vexing Valdarith

We've been playtesting decks for bfz, we have two pptq on release weekend. Holy shit print please a lightning strike effect. The loss of stoke really hurts as well.

Draconic Roar if you have dragons.

Seems that you, Khaos, and myself should plan on getting together during GP ATL.

You should come to the Open!

Out of town that weekend.

This was my first iteration of testing:

4 Cinder Glade

3 Flamewake Phoenix

Obviously its early in spoilers, but for now it feels bad, i am getting wrecked because you don't have many ways to get rid of a t2 hangar back. I am thinking you might want to head in the direction of black if you want to play draconic roar, that way you have access to more dragons.

Obviously this is just early.

Take those Glory Chasers and throw them in the fucking trash.

Also, I'm pretty sure you could trim a Heelcutter since you're on 3 Phoenixes.

Glory Trashers.

I've actually played them in a res heroic list with good results but he seems bad in your deck.

I actually wouldn't even bother testing yet with only a fourth of the set spoiled. Things will change dramatically in the next couple of weeks and no red cards wworth testing have been released.

If you REALLY want to test things now though, I think RB Dragon's could be worth investigating. Hopefully a good red dragon is spoiled, but otherwise Avaricious Dragon and Kolaghan are perfectly acceptable.

True dat, most of our testing is for spec buying. I currently have 27 copies of hardened scales, as so far it is in our best performing deck.
