bhsman posted:I had to leave to grab dinner around the time the Sligh player used Harness by Force on the Phoenix, and going by the 1-1 comment earlier it sounds like that led to a win, but how did Game 3 play out? Sligh had a good board going but RG had Anger of the Gods showing on top of his library from Courser which forced a mostly suicide attack that pretty much sealed up the game.

Can someone explain the Ashen Rider and Satyr Wayfinder in the sideboard of this burn deck? http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=74784 Ashen Rider for a Show and Tell matchup?

KidDynamite posted:g/r monsters is the worst matchup for the sub sligh deck right? I found it was the case after 2 gamedays and FNM. THe Jeskai/Azban I more or less rolled through. I got 1st in FNM, 4th first game day, and 9th today. Did pretty well except the R/G monster decks gave me fits. I wonder about putting 2 X-burn spells in the board and 4 of the "swipe the opponents creature" spells to deal with the big phattys if I don't have the guy knocked out by turn 5. I was really worried about Jeskai/Azban, but I had 5 matchups this weekend and all of them went 2-0 in my favor.

He has no way to cast the Wayfinder though, and I can't imagine he wants to drop that with Show and Tell. I suspect they're just there, like a Belcher sideboard. Edit: You're right about the Riders though; I've seen that card beat Show and Tell several times.

Maybe they made a mistake while transcribing the deck list, and the Satyr Wayfinder is actually something else. Satyr Firedancer?

Veyrall posted:I don't believe I am familiar with this story. There was a book written about Brad Nelson and his rookie of the year season. I think it was written by Rich Hagon actually? Anyway it goes into how he dropped out of school and ruined his relationship with his girlfriend to grind SCG events. Actually I might be mixing him up with Todd Anderson, maybe Todd Anderson is the one who ruined his relationship over MTG. Brad dropped out of school for it though for sure.

Searching over ebay for card deals like I enjoy doing periodically and made the mistake of searching for zendikar lands. Probably 50-75% of the listings are altered full arts covered by big titty anime girls. Does anyone actually buy those things? I guess I shouldn't be surprised since there's always a couple people at the local shop with similar sleeves and playmats, it just never ceases to amaze me.

There's a guy who routinely plays casual games with this anime playmat, I think it's a Yu Gi Oh thing, with these twin girls that are wearing belts covering and constricting their massive breasts. I high fived the judge at my PTQ who told him to turn it face down.

It's also crazy how many people will actually take the time to mail you the tiny bits of chaff you want. I just checked this morning and someone is sending me 3x Dragonstyle Twins, getting them about 100 pts total. It's not great for getting cards you want for Standard right away, but it seems really great for building a cube or grabbing cards you think might find a home a few sets from now.

Entropic posted:Boss Sligh now 1-1 in the finals. Sligh is a sub-archetype of the aggro archetype. So named after Paul Sligh, one of the first to play a deck that embraced the philosophy of the "Sligh principle", founded by Jay Schneider Tom "The Boss" Ross's versions of Sligh are then called Boss Sligh.

Good to see sligh decks doing well. Mine didn't do so well on game day. Got mana flooded in 2 key games. Also can't they just ban all that stupid anime poo poo? Especially the sexual stuff, how is that poo poo allowed. We really don't need to encourage neck beards.

I don't recall if they did articles earlier in the week too. Either way, thanks for the prebuy reminder. I'd rather pick them up now at close to retail before they spike during the holidays and I have to wait for the set to stabilize.

I was winning easily by turn 6 in all but 1 game that I played. I only lost one game and that was just poor luck...drew 5 lands in a row with 2 in opening hand. Left me dry to deal with ANYTHING.

Stupid cards sliding off the camera.

I know personally I count cards like that and splay out my graveyard a lot more tightly but my legacy play is 99% dredge and there's no way a dredge graveyard is showing up in that awful coverage camera view anyway.
