    it's astonishing how much magic cards from 1993 feel like relics from a forgotten age

    Card design from 1993 is like atomic testing before people knew how the hell radiation worked

    like yes we know the blast is deadly, and the flash is super bright, but yeah sure go hang out on some lawn chairs a mile away with some special goggles and feel the rush of wind blow past you, why not?

    Alright game day approaches and my buddy wants the lowdown on BUDGET DECKS! I want him to play the mono blue or UR robots deck the most. It is the jank that I would most enjoy seeing.

    I think I'm skipping starcity open to play game day since it's my shops last weekend open and I don't wanna skip out

    Also get my heir promos

    Also re: budget decks, you could probably make a workable rdw list subbing rabblemaster for something else?

    Mono Black devo's only moneycard is thoughtseize and you can swap that for despise since it's gonna be abzan city everywhere

    Is mono-B devotion even still a thing? It lost so much out of m14 and RTR, the only mono-b lists I've seen since rotation are aggro.

    Fucking around in cockatrice, it looks like my rw heroic list does extremely well against several flavors of abzan midrange and hilariously poorly against jeskai whatever

    I mean 8$ downfalls and a handful of dollar or less cards around out the deck, I call that budget

    that'd be jeskai alfonso

    I through together a rough izzit soul blade deck last night and it tested pretty well against my buddies jeskai deck.

    Turn 1 swiftspear + crypt swing for 2 into turn 2 ensoul swing for 7 is pretty unbeatable when you get it.

    Cheap? Jank? Hilarious? RG elvish mystics and generator servants into

    DRAGON STYLE TWINS + BECOME IMMENSE

  • KalTorakKalTorak One way or another, they all end up in the Undercity.Registered User regular
    That sounds like the new version of the Generator Servant + Master of Cruelties deck I played against once. It was pretty cool.

  • WiseManTobesWiseManTobes Registered User regular
    Gen servants and Master is so much fun. Especially since game 1 they will always swing at you on turn 2 in some misguided attempt to make you chump with servant.

    Mystics, wayfinders, and generator servants for go fast, commune with the gods to find twins and fuel the become immense delve, possibly frenzied goblin and or hammerhand to fuck up blocking

    What else

    Giving it trample would be nice, but probably not worth the trouble to put Nylea in. Maybe Awaken the Bear? Ranger's Guile to avoid getting blown out by a Downfall/Cut? Nice that all the second-string tricks are a bit more efficient thanks to the prowess.

    Titan's Strength does a reasonable Become Immense impression... Barrage of Boulders punches through Caryatids that can't be Hammerhanded, and wipes Rabble tokens.

  • KnobKnob TURN THE BEAT BACK InternetModerator mod
    Titan's strength doesn't let you go from 20 to dead in a single whack, though. 14 points from a single attack is very respectable, however.

    So I just purchased the Born of the Gods event deck, Underworld Herald. The fact I picked it up for only $15 is pretty sweet, and I like a lot of the cards just by lookin' at them. It is, apparently, one of the best event decks for your dollar out there.

    Wow, really? Neat! I mean it looks pretty good to my newbie eyes. I suppose the fact it can target planeswalkers is pretty darn nice.

    On an unrelated note, how many games would you say are needed to playtest a deck properly?

  • tsplittertsplitter Registered User regular
    I have a combat question:
    I'm playing Jeskai combo, and I'm attacking. My opponent plays an instant, and I swan Song it in response, untapping my guys. If i give one of my attacking guys Retraction Helix to kill the token, does the game still count that guy as attacking?

    99% sure on this:
    If you tap him to attack and later untap him, he is still a declared attacking (even if you tap him to do something else).

    Once a card is declared as attacking only being destroyed or effect that say they remove the target from combat will do so.

    There are some really cheap heroic decks running around as well. *links to budgety deck* http://www.starcitygames.com/article/29498_Daily-Digest-We-Need-A-Hero.html

    Ok. Everythings assembled for my temporarily "Dig-free" Ascendancy Combo. Just need a few more scry lands and I'll be set until I pick up the digs.

    I picked up enough cards to play with a few versions, but right now Im working with a mishmash of Face-to-Face games' and Lee Ti Shian's. I;'m gonna be workign with a few variations of the list until I find one I really like.

    Its temporary until I have some more funds free up. I'm basically replacing them with Cruise and Cruise with SDivination (or Tormenting Voice) until I have the cash for the Digs.

    I'm running a very Temple heavy variant with no fetches (although Im runnign the required Yavimya Coasts/Mana Confluences/Battlefield Forge-Or-Shivan-Reef). Scrylands are A) cheaper and B) give you card selection with I think might be even more important than speed.

    Nah I hear you. I need to get 2 more digs for my brother and I's game day plans. He's playing tempo, I'm playing the Control i brewed that wrecks Tempo.

    I am so glad I got digs when they were 2 bucks. my only rare lands are 2 confluences I'm borrowing from a friend, the rest are Khans lands and basics. I still seem to get a dork out on turn 2 consistently though
