Then everybody will be obese goons whose asscracks are probably on display constantly. Do you have to mention your hateboner for Modern's manabases literally every post you make? Do you shrivel up and die if you miss the opportunity?

I'm not sure if there's a better feeling than going off in a Vintage Tendrils and doing all sorts of insane bullshit like cracking Memory Jars and Lotuses.

Burn Pie: take a cherry pie and throw handfuls of it in your opponents face until they die. 8-Rack Pie: knock your opponent's pieces of pie out of their hand until they die. Breakfast Burrito Pie: Throw your pie on the floor. A giant ooze dinosaur pops out and shoots your opponent in the face.

Dredge Pie: While staring your opponent in the eye, take heaping forkfuls of your pie and fling them at the floor. Then trade some of the bits that fell on the table for the knife you hid in the pie, and stab your opponent in the kidney.

I dunno, why don't you ask one of my posts on a different subject? I recommend starting with the reserve list collection; that's always a favorite.  edit: I just checked and as far as I can tell, those two posts are literally the only ones in which I address the concept of manabases in this iteration of the thread, so I sincerely am not sure what you are on about, dude.

I feel like some time in the next 2 sets some cheap removal spell will get printed that will make Ashcloud Phoenix a lot bigger. I don't know why that card doesn't seem to be seeing much play right now.

It's also becoming a standard in the G/R devotion decks. It's pretty popular right now in Standard, honestly.

TheKingofSprings posted:A 4/1 flier with a great death trigger is pretty good dude I don't understand how people can say anything other than "Ashcloud Phoenix is a good card" right now. There's all of one significant threat to it's existence and that's getting exiled without the use of an enchantment What exiles in this standard besides Anger, Vault, and Magma Spray that can't be blown up? Also, it blocks Stormbreath Dragon and it hard to validate using two spells on to be rid of it.

There were more copies of it than Nissa at the Pro Tour. Angry Grimace posted:Because it's not that good? It's no Siege Rhino and, sure, anything that exiles upon killing it like Magma Spray will make you have a bad time, but 4 power for 4 mana with evasion, with the potential to edge the opponent out in grindy matches? The card is legit.

It's pretty good on paper and appears to be contextually pretty good in practice. By what metric does someone argue that it isn't that good?

Show and tell pie, keep knocking their fork out of their hands when they try to take a bite then hit them in the face with a sledgehammer you have hidden under the table. Doomsday pie, take a fork full of pie, throw the rest away. Try desperately to figure out a way to kill the opponent with your fork High tides pie, keep stacking pieces of your own pie on top of each other and tell your opponent to shut up you're almost done, then smash them in the face with their own piece of pie.

Really, of the top 3 most played decks right now Ashcloud is at least proficient with all 3 of them, doing the worst against Abzan, being really really good against Jeskai, and really useful vs. Monsters.

White Weenie pie: Cut your pie into itty bitty tiny bites and then force-feed them to your opponent one by one. Aeroplane sounds encouraged.

Battle of Wits pie: This pie is the size of the entire table. The opponent has no room to eat. Death and Taxes pie: You replace the opponent's fork with a giant fork made of lead. It's too heavy for them to lift, and even if they use it for their pie, they die of lead poisoning.

Are they going with M16 for the name of The Last of the Core Sets? If so I expect to see alters of every humanoid (and possibly non-humanoid) creature in the set holding an M16 at some point.

Birthing Pod Pie: Start with a tiny pie and smash it, revealing a slightly larger pie. Repeat until you have an infinitely large pie or your smaller pies out value your opponent. Twin Pie: Throw handfuls of your pie at your opponent to prevent them from enjoying their pie until you're able to empty a dump truck filled with identical hostess pocket pies onto the table, smothering your opponent.
