I used to like Woo, he was fiddling with izzet decks and it was cool. So I started watching his stream, I honestly don't know how anyone could not dislike the guy after listening to him. I suppose if you can find humor in the worst aspects of people then it might be entertaining,but yea basically the fitness/life coach, smug stuff turned me off really bad. Then I read that most of his brews are simply him taking another deck, usually submitted by one of his fans, tweaking it and claiming it as his own build. That makes about as much sense as me claiming affinity as my own deck because I made a few minor tweaks. Then he got all smug about cards in his brews spiking, and started tweeting about how X card is going to spike because its in his next brew. People who listen to him are not getting good advice about competitive magic. If you just want to see someone who thinks he's awesome at rogue brews and can ignore his personality, then by all means watch away.

This may or may not be true: Twoo once passed me 3 skywatcher adepts in a triple rise team draft and then I got a fourth one from the other side.

He used to be pretty chill (like back in 2010) but I think a lot of the fame in his own fandom really got to his head.

A little late, but I wanted to say I took the mono-u delver shell from pauper delver and ninja delver bear, and put it together alongside some cheap blue stuff I had lying around for a fun superbudget modern deck that does a decent job keeping up with the modern decks at the lunch tables in my college cafeteria. :shobon:

Sorry you feel that way :( FWIW, I always took his commentary as being very dry at times, which I felt would come off to others as smug or derisive. Even his comments about Spain seem to reflect that, but to each his own. I'm not feeling the 'steals decks' thing any more than before if all you have is some hearsay on it; whenever I've stepped in on a stream of his he is usually brewing up some weirdness like his Storm deck after having lots of fun with a limited variant in Modern Masters draft, or explicitly naming the person who told him about a deck idea.

Hell, Breakfast Burrito was developed here independently of Oops! All Spells and there was confusion over whether someone stole ideas. Same thing happened with Woo's own Living End: he ran into a mirror match when he first played it at a competitive event after testing in secret. This isn't to say it's impossible for Woo to have stolen a deck, only that my own experiences with watching his streams run counter to that. If someone brings definitive proof, that's another story.

I had to go to bed before game 2 finished, how'd Joe do? That deck looks sweet and checking in at the megathread on Source there's like 3-4 different directions to go with it. Could Food Chain be a winning thing in 2014? It's a huge gently caress you I don't care you have a True Name Nemesis on the board deck, although apparently a quick Stoneforge Mystic can give it troubles.

edit: Asian team/guy it playing a brew called "Blue Moon." Merfolk shell with Blood Moon mainboard. Isn't a completely original brew, apparently one of the brazilian(?) MTGO grinders came up with it and has a few 3-1 cashes.

edit: Opponent plays Goyf, gets remanded. Blood moon comes down from merfolk guy. Opponent doesn't have any more green. :cheers:

It attacks a lot of decks in the format. Blue for counter spells, Blood Moon to make people use basics to do things, which then get spreading sea'd. Interestingly it turns Wild Nacatl-type critters off to a degree. Zoo will still have a few creatures on the board but they're smaller or his deck has some Anger of the Gods for sweeping before putting Blood Moon down.


Uhhh Ochoa being kind of dickish with his lands right now.

Primeval Titan just doing work as a 6/6 trample with Blood Moon turning off the Valakuts. I love how in these formats sometimes a big creature is just enough on its own, since no one is running unconditional removal other than Path.

Woo has a massive weakness for one-card combo brews. The only time this has worked out well is when the one card is something you can run twelve of - Living End.

EDIT: Moved a bunch of this to the eternal-formats thread. Too many threads.

It can easily lead to a marked cards warning. It's not something I would ever do. Then again, I hate foils.

If I would ever actually branch out into the money ditch that is Modern, this is probably the type of deck I would play.
