Seems like tapping out versus Storm is not what you want to be doing.

Korak posted:They even mentioned it on stream. Commentary people missed the fact Azusa isn't symmetrical. Hunt missed it. Staff on hand missed it. Stream caught it so there's a chance word gets down to the Judges but they've done so much since then. At least he won the match.

DeTora is a known b/w tokens player, so I'd expect her to be playing that as well.

7-0s right now: Matthias Hunt on Vigor Combo, Patrick Dickmann on RUG-Twin(splashing for Goyf + Grudge), and Michael Hetrick on Living End.

Someone explain this to me. Adding White cards for UWR Twin makes sense, so does just having a stomping ground or whatever for Grudge, but Goyf?

Goyf is in RUG Twin, splashed off the same Breeding Pool that usually pulls Ancient Grude duty. It makes sense, Dickman's deck is as often winning through aggressive creatures. A Goyf would make a potent threat that could catch an opponent focused on the combo matchup off guard games 2-3.

^^Truth. I have won more games with Melira-Pod by beating down than I have with the combo.

I played some modern matches on mtgo last night and faced a guy siding it in against my twin deck that ruined me, so I thought of it as a cool tech. Then after seeing the blue moon match, I knew I had to get 1 or 2 asap or it'll spike. Plus it was one of my casual favs from back when I played magic in my earlier years

The combo's mostly in there for value and winstealing; we win by attacking with Snapcaster, Clique or Pestermite, or finishing them with Bolts, just as often as or more often than by comboing. Dickmann actually boarded out quite a bit of the combo in most of his matches at GP Antwerp.

I only recently started playing Twin and can attest to the deck's robustness. Clique, Snapcaster and a grip of burn and/or counters can put in a lot of work, while the opponent has to carefully dance around your combo. If they slip for a second then they'll suddenly lose to the combo.

If they slip for a second then they'll suddenly lose to the combo. Yeah, playing an aggressive deck that can win instantly with only two cards puts lots of pressure on an opponent. After seeing Dickman's success I switched my Twin list around to mimic his and instantly found a lot more success, especially against control decks, even when they know you're on twin, the early threats eat up answers and force your opponent to be proactive instead of wait for the combo and stop it.

As he "didn't exist" during the time where it should have triggered and thus still has that second part of the ability on him. That's how it works with Unearth at least.

So can we expect Bitterblossom and the other faeries cards to tank in value?

Hunt punted on the last match of the day, played Summoner's Pact & Pact of Negation and ended the turn with only 8 mana in play.

And Blue Moon won  vvv just pointing out that he would have had 9 if not for the gemstone sac, which is probably an easier misplay to make than simply miscounting your number of lands A big flaming stink fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Feb 21, 2014 |

Wasn't a punt by Hunt for reasons already described. What I'm curious is if he would have waited on the pact of negation? What was he playing around with not paying the mana leak?Sampatrick posted:So can we expect Bitterblossom and the other faeries cards to tank in value?
