    What's a decent deck editor these days? Anything out there that lets me make piles and save as a .dek? I only just got lackey (having used MWS and 'trice in the past).

    Maybe I should just phantom load the cards into MTGO...

    I believe the pack is just the single color you picked

    It leans toward that color, but it's not straight mono (except the rare)

    Betman is there a time table or whatever for this thing cause I paid zero attention last time you were running a league/sealed league/whatever this is

    I'm working on a time table and all that still. Last time I did it, a lot of people wanted to join but then didn't actually play matches, etc

    I need to figure out what kind of schedule is best for everyone

    oh okay cool

    this is gonna be a sealed thing right

    also i think I might do the midnight prerelease because those are always a fun and tiring time

    At the midnight DGM prerelease my match in the last round played right up until store closing and it was terrible and i had a blast

    I think the only prerelease I'm doing is sunday night 2 headed giant. with me and my partner on blue and white paths

    hopefully we get a lot of the white creature that has pay like 2B to drain each opponent a life and just load up his deck with them. I think its a common

    cool okay yeah

    edit also considering blue because weighted rare slot gives me a boosted shot at artisan of forms or curse of the swine

    (I'm only going to get the Sphinx or the Charlatan)

    I downloaded Lackey a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have much luck in the little time I looked for the mtg plug-in

    is there a particular one y'all use? or should I just dig around on the lackey forums and it'll be obvious

    "Theodore Floosevelt" Totally missed your post earlier!

    We use the plugin from this site.

    thank ya!

    as far as schedules go, I can generally make time any (PST) weeknight or weekend so long as I have a bit of notice or regularity

    I think u/r or u/g is strong for prerelease depending on what you get + the kraken is pretty bomb-y

    your potential weighted rare is overall pretty decent for limited as well with the exception of artisan (but if you actually want them then you win either way)

    Bloodrush triggers Heroic right?

    I'm thinking of bloodrushing Pyrewild's onto an Agent's of Fate.

  • KwoaruKwoaru Registered User regular
    edited September 2013
    Bloodrush is an activated ability and not a spell so I dunno, I doubt it since other abilities don't activate heroic

    fake edit from the bloodrush section of the gtc product info page
    A bloodrush ability isn't a spell and can't be countered by things that only counter spells. It uses the stack and can be responded to normally.

    It does not. It's an ability, not a spell.

  • Anon the FelonAnon the Felon In bat country.Registered User regular
    Well, that solves that quandary then.

    Makes the deck easier to build too.

    Wooooo nerd night is upon us

    Everybody practice with the Theros Pre-release Sealed Deck Pack Simulator Thing

    Which is really just a Theros Sealed Pack Generator with one entirely incorrect pack because the person running it doesn't have the seeded pack properly simulated

  • KwoaruKwoaru Registered User regular
    Reminder that all sealed pack generators are complete bullshit and will show you only the most cruelly unlikely packs

    I played this last night.

    It did surprisingly well.
    Creature (14)
    4 Agent of the Fates
    2 Corpse Hauler
    3 Guttersnipe
    3 Rakdos Shred-Freak
    2 Young Pyromancer

    Instant (14)
    4 Coordinated Assault
    4 Lightning Strike
    4 Shock
    2 Weapon Surge

    Sorcery (12)
    4 Diabolic Tutor
    4 Duress
    4 Mind Rot

    Land (20)
    8 Mountain
    4 Rakdos Guildgate
    8 Swamp

    I'm not a huge fan of the majority of Theros, but there are some shining pieces. I might remove the discard stuff, in favor of more damage/instants to throw at the agent. I might get some reanimation going too, since I ran into a bit of trouble once he took down my second agent. I had to just burn him down with the Guttersnipe.

    Fortunately he didn't have any board presence at that point, so I had a couple turns to do so.

    Question: Do 0/0 creatures that come into play with +1/+1 counters trigger evolve?

  • Shock GShock G Registered User regular
    yup!

    otherwise you couldn't use hydropons in your simic deck and then what's the point

  • TaramoorTaramoor Storyteller Registered User regular
    Yes. It checks the creatures power when it enters the battlefield and the counters come into existence just before that moment.

    That's why Zegana is the best Evolver ever, because she will always enter with 1 power higher than your strongest creature.

  • KalTorakKalTorak One way or another, they all end up in the Undercity.Registered User regular
    edited September 2013
    I think so. She's not a 0/0, but Prime Speaker Zeganna is designed to always evolve almost everyone you have on the battlefield, so the +1/+1 counters she gets are counted. I'd expect it would be the same for 0/0's that get counters.

    If the card says "Enters play with..." it triggers evolve based on +1/+1 counters. If it says, "When this creature enters play..." it does not. Pretty simple.

    The only thing special about 0/0s is that they have to say "Enters play with..." because otherwise it's a trigger, and state-based actions such as going to the graveyard for having zero toughness are checked before the resolution of any trigger.

  • KalTorakKalTorak One way or another, they all end up in the Undercity.Registered User regular
    They're not as reliable as Zeganna, but Simic's other "enters the battlefield with additional +1/+1 counters" like Master Biomancer and Zameck Guildmage work the same way.

    Okay great

    Was suddenly uncertain whether or not hydras triggered the evolve on my Gyre Sages which would have been a pretty big deal

    Wanted the Blue pack, but ended up with the white one at the midnight prerelease. I ended up with a handful of cards I wanted to run that wet actually white.

    My green was really, really good, so I splashed blue and white for extra removal. I'll post a list when I get home, but my deck was sick, ended up 5-0ing the thing.

    The artifact elk was amazing.

    Question for you guys, I'm going Sunday to sell my collection at a shop about an hour away. I have around 12 boxes of various types full of cards ranging back to the original release of Ravnica. I know it varies from card to card, but from your experiences what do you guys think I would get in cash for this sort of collection? A couple hundred?

  • KwoaruKwoaru Registered User regular
    edited September 2013
    What size boxes?

    Do you have them sorted into common/uncommon/rare/mythic and did you pick out the good rares yet?

    If they're even buying anything but choice singles they will probably offer you a bulk rate for each rarity, which is fine for common and uncommon but for Rare and Mythic you'll want to be sure you've gone through and taken out the good singles so they can be counted individually (I don't know which ones to tell you to watch out for because I didn't play for most of the last 7-10 years)

    Kwoaru on
    2x39jD4.jpg
  • admanbadmanb unionize your workplace Seattle, WARegistered User regular
    Yeah. They're only going to give you bulk rates if you just show up with boxes. If you want to get value you're gonna have to go through and pick out the good stuff yourself.
