The thing with Narset is that she doesn't have the best synergy with the current tier 1 decks. I'm trying to sketch out a Bant Midrange with her and the dragon lords of said colors; not necessarily like Wescoe's list where it's GW/u, but more like UWg. On paper it looks like she'd be great in a deck with Coursers for her +1 and the different commands with her -2. She may not have had a strong showing at the PT, but I think she definitely has some untapped potential. Granted I rarely play in sanctioned events so what the gently caress do I know?

Ran junk "control" again at FNM. 3-1 R1 - RG Dragons - 2-1. might have been the Chris Vanmeter list from the SCG Open last week. Three very good back and forth games. Thunderbreak Regent is really tough to play against. R2 - Bant Heroic. Tom Ross's list. 0-2 G1 he was ahead but I felt like I was just one card away from stabilizing. G2 I stabilized and cleared all his threats twice but just couldn't get a threat on the board of my own to apply pressure. R3 - Mono Red Heroic or Sligh 2-1 - I lost game 1 hard. I took 1 damage turn one, and then 9 turn two. G2 courser early put the game out of his reach. G3 turn 4 drown after he had over extended closed it out (to his credit I had milled 2 drowns and he was betting I didn't have the third) R4 - BUG ASSault Formation 2-0. When he played a dragons eye savant I immediately asked him if he was butt fighting and he shrugged and then played assault formation the following turn. I don't remember a lot about this match as I was really tired but I think that the deck is pretty awesome, just needs the right sideboard. G1 felt very close but I snuck in a victory, G2 coursers getting counters from a bow of nylea sealed up the game

Adrian Sullivan: UB control Shota Yasooka: UB control with a dragon theme Andrew Ohlschwager: UB control with a heavier dragon theme and a splash for Dragonlord Ojutai Marco Cammilluzzi: Abzan Control Ondrej Strasky: Gr devotion with See the Unwritten Thomas Hendriks: Gr devotion with mono-permanents (  )Jason Chung: GR dragons Martin Dang: RDW with a splash for Atarka's Command 3 of the top 8 decks have a "dragons matter" subtheme, that's pretty cool. e: misread Chung's deck.

The problem is that she doesn't affect the board at all when she comes down unless you have a lot of mana right when you cast her and something proactive to do.

C-Euro posted:4/5 at least, poor Bloodstained Mire Now is probably close to the best price you'll see. Fetches are unlikely to go down much if any when they rotate. Since Khans is no longer being drafted, the # of fetches being cracked is way down, and redemptions are probably tapering off. You probably have 2-6 months to finish up before prices start to move much, but it is unlikely to get lower.

logis posted:Alright so Shahar Shenhar gets a 2nd rules violation for a rules violation that's definitely not obvious (at least to me watching at home without thinking about it): So later in this match, Shahar had a Great-Horn Krushok, enchanted with his Gleam of Authority. He had used it to bolster his other dude a few times, so he now had another creature with three +1/+1 counters. His opponent cast Dragonlord Silumgar, and stole the Great-Horn Krushok. My question: Should the Krushok be 3/5 or 6/8 while the opponent is controlling it? My view would be 6/8, but the commentators (and maybe players? dunno) acted as if it weren't buffing it, since the opponent had no counters going on his board. But since Shenhar still controls the Gleam, I would say the Gleam should still be looking at Shenhar's creatures to check for counters.

It's a 6/8 - the controller of the enchantment hasn't changed.

I feel like Narsets problem is they tried to make her playable by giving her a high loyalty in a standard with a planeswalker killer that doesn't care about loyalty and it's everywhere. I think she has potential at rotation.

She's an incremental advantage card in a format that is all about haymakers and has a ton of haymakers at her CMC. There are way better things you can be doing at 4 mana, and unless their design philosophy has shifted a lot there will just be different haymakers keeping her out of Standard at rotation

So, a few days ago, LSV posted a video where he played a Living End Splinter Twin mashup. The entire thing was great, but best match of it by far was against a Soul Sisters where his opponent got Rest in Peace and multiple Soul Warden effects out. Well, it turns out his opponent was recording as well and the recording is here. LSVs video is here, third one on the playlist. Elyv fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Apr 12, 2015 |

This owns to watch from his opponent's view. If he had just played out his Soul's Attendant game 1 LSV couldn't have even pulled off the Exarch-Twin win. edit: it's funny too because in game 2 i remembered that spot where his opponent didn't attack with 3 spirit tokens which may or may not have eventually mattered at that point and now we get to hear him kicking himself immediately for his mistake the second he clicked through.

I think she has potential at rotation. After rotation U/B control gets to replace Downfall with Silumgar's Command, which while usually much worse is still a planeswalker killer that doesn't give a poo poo about her loyalty. Utter End means that Abzan will also continue to not care about her having 7 'toughness'. She's going to be just as good against decks that deal damage as she is now, and just as bad against decks with non-damage removal as she is now. Not to mention both Duress and Despise, the 'replacements' for Thoughtseize, both hit her. Other predictions: - Brutal Hordechief will never be good in Standard because I have a playset of them and therefore they can't become worth anything - Allied painlands in Magic Origins??? - White will get yet another 2/1 for 1 with some dumb upside that doesn't have any impact on constructed formats - Buyback or some buyback-like mechanic to return in Battle for Zendikar - Temur will never be a tier 1 deck in this or the next Standard

Green Devotion player is awful. Has a huge board, decides to play the rest of his hand for no reason right before Sullivan would untap 5 mana. Immediately gets board wiped.

Decklists are public and Sullivan's version only has one Crux of Fate mainboard. He was more worried about Perilous Vault, which wouldn't have punished him there. He made a reasonable decision and was punished for it.

It's cool that Silumgar's Scorn ended up being good. I don't think I posted about it but I admit thinking it was complete and utter conditional poo poo. Instead, it appears Counterspell is back.

He made a reasonable decision and was punished for it. Playing the Courser was a mistake, since it doesn't change the clock except against a second Bile Blight (which, given that Sullivan had four black on the table, would probably have to be a topdeck since otherwise he'd probably wait to double bile-blight the Hydra). Playing the Colossus to present a 1-turn clock against Perilous Vault is a reasonable line though. The question about Dragonlord Atarka should possibly have tipped him off to an in-hand Crux of Fate though, since Sullivan then went out of his way to stay above 8 life.

I think Thomas should have +1'd Xenagos so he could deploy Nissa AND Polukranos that turn. It's extremely likely that Adrian couldn't have dealt with all three, but he might (MIGHT) deal with just two. e: Also Genesis Hydra is disgusting versus Aetherspouts, lol e: e: PLEASE DON'T PUNT THIS HENDRICKS THERE'S TOO MANY U/B CONTROL DECKS IN THE TOP 8 ALREADY ungulateman fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Apr 12, 2015 |
