I'm not passing any judgement on you personally, but generally I've found that people who are real sticklers for perfect play also struggle with the concept of being personable. My personal experience with competitive REL since I've been to a few events this year, I usually am super focused and not chatty because I'm trying my best to be mindful of every nuance. Magic is a complex game. I assume my opponent is better than me, and I don't want to lose due to some failing of my own like timing etc. I'm sure it comes off as a poor atmosphere, but I like to get better and so that means I have to go to places where there is higher level competition. I'm not a jerk (at least I'd like to think so) and if we're at a prerelease, fnm, or the kitchen table I basically don't give a crap. If I was really good, I'd probably become more relaxed, but I am one of those people that you could certainly label as a try-hard, I just am doing what I can to make sure I'm not making a dumb mistake so I'm thinking and not very chatty. I do try to be nice before and after a match, although sometimes I stew on my bad beats. I don't say anything to my opponent, but if I got smashed again by UWR control I'm probably going over the game in my head after the match and not paying any attention to my opponent.

I want to punch whoever designed the challenges in Magic Forge. The Red Dungeon Crawling just starts off with Furnace of Rath in play was is hilariously cruel when you start with 15 life. All of them seem designed around "have this card or lose" Also one of them is based around Propaganda effects, when Propaganda effects literally crash the game.

I always have an arsenal of several kinds of decks. When that red challenge pops up I just pick a burn deck and beat it at its own game. The propaganda one is pretty annoying but mill decks or a planar cleansing or four help with that. I haven't had the game crash because of propaganda effects, myself. I actually like how the game handles them because of the "auto" button that lets you just pay for your attackers by mashing the space bar.

Every time I've tried to attack into Propoganda it just throws up an error then locks the game so you can't advance. I've found the Blue Dungeon Crawling is a joke though since you'll draw so many cards you'll see everything you need to anyway. The Black one( I think it's a dungeon crawling one) is kinda luck dependent in that you have to kind of hope it does spawn about 5-6 thrulls in first first flip off Infernal Genesis

When you display to your opponent that you are the type of person willing to take one damage in response to anything by merely tapping a land, you gain a mental edge that is impossible to account for.

Bonus posted:Wait, what problems of mono blue would running mana confluence solve? Is it just so it's able to play stuff of of Nightveil? I talked a bit about it just above your post. You would be able to effectively pick a color and be able to splash it for their spells while still having the permanent shell of mono blue. If you pick black, you get doom blades for specifically mistcutter hydra but can also be used in every other matchup but black and control. You also get to put a notion thief or two in the board for rev decks. You also could put in a playset of bidents if you so choose to run a couple of pack rats main as they go hand in hand really. This is just one color and there's even more than that in black

So you're going to wait till T5 to cast Thassa and keep Negate mana up, plus you'll never tap out playing when Thassa's on the board? You're nuts if you don't think Deicide isn't going to have much of an impact on mono-U. The card basically beats the 2nd most popular deck in Standard and has solid applications against other decks. Also Mana Confluence and all the counter spells in the world are not going to solve the Supreme Verdict problem. Edit: I feel I should clarify that I definitely think Confluence will improve any deck playing 4 Nightveils, but there's a difference between making a deck stronger and solving a deck's weaknesses. qbert fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Apr 25, 2014 |

Mono Blue didn't get anything in BNG or JOU and other archtypes have become stronger. It is very possible U Aggro becomes a more heavily splashed deck that just uses the fact Master of Waves on some boards is an instant win still.

Does deicide totally devestate mono blue if it resolves? It sure does! I don't disagree one bit. So mono blue needs to play around that. Yes, playing thassa around turn 5 against blue is a good idea, unless they tap out. You're better off throwing your specters under the counterspell bus on turn 3, or better yet just pump mana into your frostburn until they do something about it. You beat supreme verdict by never letting it do anything but two for one you at the most. You slow roll them by sticking a bident on the board and slowly out-draw them, and while thassa will red line a control player, it is no means required to beat control. To counteract the possibility of getting deicided, you just put in 2 aetherlings in the side, specifically for that matchup.

Veyrall posted:I'm not certain having just 4 sources of a color is terribly reliable for actually having that color, unless you mean that it frees you from running scrylands. I mean, sure, it may make Mistcutter less of a problem, but Mono-U has ways to win through a Hydra anyway without splashing colors. You would run something like 4 mana confluence 3 watery grave 2 temple of deceit What's the in-color proposal for beating mistcutters except for overloading rifts and using pognify tokens?

I'm not sure how "wait with your spells until they're no longer impactful" is supposed to work for an aggro deck, but okay. Also you beat mistcutters by beating down with an unblockable Thassa. What are they going to do, race your 5/5 with their 4/4?

I would like a more reliable source to deal with them. Jabor posted:I'm not sure how "wait with your spells until they're no longer impactful" is supposed to work for an aggro deck, but okay. Your sideboard games consist of dumping off your lovely aggro creatures that don't do jack if you draw them on turn 10 for impactful things like counterspells, aetherling, notion thief. You don't have to play mono blue like an aggro deck.

Well if they're attacking with it then you don't even need to have Thassa in order to win a race! If you're now going to sideboard into the control plan against every single deck that runs white, the mono-U deck as a whole is now way worse. In fact, if you're not going on the aggro gameplan, the deck can already splash whatever you like even without Mana Confluence.

I do not want ephara, d spheres are nice and all but they don't solve anything that is actually a problem for mono blue, and while it would let you play deicide yourself, that also doesn't solve anything I would consider a problem, or help me in ways that notion thief can against esper. Jabor posted:Well if they're attacking with it then you don't even need to have Thassa in order to win a race! You don't always have the greater power on board vs green decks, and having targeted removal is extra protection for your masters vs polukranos. I already side in 3 dispels vs white decks because I would rather have a dead card in my hand than watch them turn their whole team pro blue and blow me out. I treat mono blue more like fish in modern vs white, except flying instead of islandwalk
