    Playing against monoblack feels so unfair you guys. I get so far under them and every time they try to remove my guys is a two for one on MY end and they have to keep trying to remove them because if they start dropping permanents like desecration Demon or Grey Merchant they just die.

    Viper is real as hell and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

    It helped a ruric thar take down 2 d-demons one time

    Thats rad as hell

    I realized that what prophetic flamespeaker wants.... is a bow of nylea

    yeah I was like WELL HE MUST ATTACK *tee hee*

    and he snap blocked

    bloodrush, fight the other one w/domri. proceed to the laugh phase as I topdeck my 2nd copy right after

    and uh the only in color self shuffle I can think of is signal the clans but its not good

    elixir of life is the pro shuffle card

    Last night I played paper Magic for the first time since before Born of the Gods came out. Ran good ol' mono-black devotion, managed to go 3-1 and got some store credit.

    It was my first time playing with Bile Blight. That card is nuts in the current format. Like holy hell, how did that get printed as an Instant?

    I also played against a mono-black aggro deck and I was quite impressed with it. Their clock could become unreasonably fast. It felt more like RDW than anything else.

    I feel like mtg hitler every week I continue to play it

    Also yes mono black aggro is very good and mana confluence will fix the one thing i didn't like: couldn't splash red for burn

    I wanna tell you to jam some Cacklers into that second list, but I really don't know if that's necessary or if the second point of toughness is relevant.

    PV's article has basically the mono red I want to try for flamespeaker, though I would think I'd rather have firefist striker over arena athlete, as much as I like The Baller himself

    4 akroan crusader
    3 arena athlete
    4 rakdos cackler
    4 prophetic flamespeaker
    4 satyr firedrinker
    4 ash zealot
    3 mogis's warhound

    2 hall of triumph
    4 dragon mantle
    4 madcap skills
    4 titan's strength

    18 mountain
    2 mutavault, though I expect to skimp on mutavault

    also considering everflame over mogis's warhound, though if I went that way it might be contingent on a light white splash for launch the fleets, anax and cymede, and a boros charm or two

    Good writers, good content, frequent updates. It's not, like, the Gospel of Magic, but for $3/month it is some of the best Magic content on the Internet.

    Yup.

    It might be worth it to pay for Premium if it's important for you to stay up to the day (beyond the free content).

    Yeah, which is a good way to find out if you enjoy the writers and the style of articles, but so much of Magic content is interesting because it reflects and comments on what has happened in the last week.

    I usually play mono green beats but I have a very hard time vs slivers with that, so occasionally i'll play mono red tron instead

    all monoB seems to do, besides win, is make people very upset

    but I have a lot of fun counting up my symbols when merchant makes it rain so

    The reason Pauper is the best format is because Gush is legal.

    you draw off the cycle land, chromatic stars and wellsprings that you conviniently sac to crack the earth and kuldotha rebirth, and an instant for R that gives a dude haste and you draw a card that name escapes me

    and haunted fengraf x2 means you essentially have 6 crushers

    So I'm playing cube on MTGO and the best thing just happened

    I am playing black/white stacks and tokens

    my opponent is on black green with a red splash

    I happen to have mirran crusader (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=213802)

    I land a sword of fire and ice (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370471)

    But I need to wait a turn to use it

    He has one out in his deck to get rid of my crusader before it takes over the game and that card is Chaos Warp (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=338441)

    He draws it, hits my mirran crusader, who shuffles in, and is the card chosen randomly

    the dude flipped his shit

    "fuckin lucksack" etc etc

    This is a deck I've been honestly thinking about putting together for multiplayer funtimes. I still want to see how 40 Lightning Bolts 20 mountains would work, though.

  • SwillSwill Registered User regular
    my bet would be on gary. it would probably be better to go 50/10 for the lightning bolts
