I added a video a little more relevant

IpseDixit

So I went to standard tonight at the LGS

Went 3-1 which was good for 4th place after tiebreakers

Snagged two packs of Innistrad

First pack was a Curse of Deaths Hold

Second pack was a Daybreak Ranger, a Diregraf Ghoul, a foil Rebuke, and a Snapcaster 8-)

Franko

what deck you running in standard?

IpseDixit

Mono white humans

It's doing all right, I could really use another Silverblade Paladin though

Lost to another stupid OmniDoorThragFire deck

Kelor

Couple of Stony Silence in the sideboard? Rest in Peace and Nevermore aren't horrible options either.

Tonkka

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

Answer is Nevermore and Thalia and hope to outrace the stupid fucking Thragtusks

Door isn't really the threat, the real threat is Thragtusks and Worldfire

He got to 84 life thanks to Thragtusks and that stupid double life gain guy and I scooped

Franko

There seems to be just way too much sustain in standard right now
waiting for those hate cards

Kelor

I've been running Reverberate in the side for Bant Matchups.

Draw 7 cards and gain 7 life for RR? Don't mind if I dooooo!

nightmarenny

Omnidoor Tragfire is a bitch against some decks.

For my Naya Midrange I found the best thing I could do was main Thundermaw and go full aggro on'em and hope for the best.

DirtyDirtyVagrant

Channel fireball is going to help tons. Somehow I missed the link before!

Franko

anything by Conley or LSV is good
don't watch Ochoa he stinks butt

Kelor

I've been playing GW Humans to great success the last few weeks, which has a pretty solid match up agains midrange/control. I wanted to change things up this week so I'm playing Izzet Combo for FNM tomorrow.

My only goal is to Devil's Play/Burn at the Stake someone for lethal on turn four/five.

Crimson King

wait omnidoorthragfire is an actual deck archetype

as much as i hate thragtusk that's fantastic

Clearly spoken by a man who hasn't played against it.

That thing is demoralizing.

Kelor

I kind of love the fact that it's sole goal is to have the biggest endgame of any deck.

I'm An Elk; Shoot Me

Ah, fell asleep before like 5 people asked me the same thing about my Bloodrush comment

But yeah, I said I liked how it's "instant speed" and I guess in my head I was saying I like that compared to, say, Overrun. Even though Overrun affects all your creatures and this only works on a single attacker, this seems to have fewer counter-measures.

I am also repeating the comment that someone noted about how yes, technically you could Prey Upon after the combat phase, which never occured to me, and oh my god I am playing Gruul forever now

Sara Lynn

This thread title is amazing. Not that I'm biased or anything.

IpseDixit

New spoiler!



Sorry for the tiny size had to grab it from a video

7/7 for 7cmc with trample and when it damages a player put a token copy of itself onto the battlefield

@BugBoy

STATE OF THE ART ROBOT

Got my singles in today. Ordering a playset of Huntmasters hurt my soul bhut yaaaaaaay

The Good Doctor Tran

Selling off a bunch of old innistrad money cards that never quite made a splash (like Sorin) has almost convinced me to go into the online card shop biz. I will pull the trigger on it if I get enough money to buy a case of whatever comes after Ravnica.

I'm An Elk; Shoot Me

If Giant Adephage was any greener it would be singing while playing a banjo at the start of the Muppet Movie

I want four and then all the others ever printed so I can have them and you can't.

ImperatorXXV

Unfortunately breaking up with my girlfriend of three years, but it is at least a good clean break up. Except for the Magic cards we bought together. We have to divvy them up accordingly and with this much cards it gets confusing.

Is... is this what divorce is like?

I'm An Elk; Shoot Me

I'm changing my avatar to Timmy from South Park.




See the joke is I'm a Timmy.

And also retarded.

ImperatorXXV

Alt option, play for ante. The old school way.

Kwoaru

never merge your magic card stash

bank accounts sure, get a home loan together why not

don't mix yo cardboard

I'm An Elk; Shoot Me

I mean I don't even wanna joke cause that's already rough news buddy.

So yeah, I would say if splitting the cards is a serious issue you should just do a draft or just split them in half all face-down and take your pick or something.

I'm An Elk; Shoot Me

Also I have already accidentally called that creature Giant Appendage. Twice.
