Anatharon posted:Okay I double checked and it's called War of Attrition. Unfortunately that deck has older cards in it so the format that you're most likely to play it in is modern. Most people are gonna be playing with decks that are present in the modern metagame, and while the Stoneforge Mystics and Kor Firewalkers from that deck are useful, they're in different decks (and arguably formats) so turning your deck into something playable might take some work. I'd take a look at mtggoldfish.com for some ideas, you can search by card on that site and it will show you decks that have placed in tournaments that use those cards. If you go with decks that have been performing well though, you're basically gonna have to start from scratch, and to shape your deck up you're gonna have to be pretty inventive. Here's a link to the deck if anyone wanted to offer some more advice.

Anatharon posted:Okay I double checked and it's called War of Attrition. Living weapon has basically a single card that sees a lot of competitive play, batterskull, the rest are really only found in casual decks. None of them are legal in standard right now, so if you want to play standard you should see about borrowing/getting cards.

I'm thinking about getting into MTGO for drafting. How much does it cost to draft in MTGO? I hear you can get in some drafts for like three dollars?

It's no cheaper than drafting for real unless you win consistently. The only advantage is convenience. It costs 3 packs + 2 event tickets to draft. Tickets are $1 each from the store. They're the de facto currency of MTGO. Packs are $4 each from the store but you can buy them from trade bots for around 2-3.5 tix each depending on the set. All prize payouts are in packs. You do single elim 8-4 (winner gets 8 packs, second place gets 4) or single elim 4-3-2-2 or 3 rounds swiss without eliminations where you get a pack for each round you win. The only thing you should ever buy from the store directly are event tickets. Entropic fucked around with this message at 04:01 on May 19, 2015 |

They've removed the 4-3-2-2 and Swiss (pack per win) options on anything that isn't DTK-DTK-FRF and replaced it with 6-2-2-2 (6 for 3 wins, 2 for 2 wins), which is a new Swiss format.

lemonslol posted:I'm thinking about getting into MTGO for drafting. How much does it cost to draft in MTGO? I hear you can get in some drafts for like three dollars? $14, my advice is to make a cheap constructed deck (Pauper is a good place to start) and play in the daily events, which pay out in packs. Unless you're really good at drafting, you won't be making a profit or drafting for cheap at all. There are some phantom events and new player events which are nice if you're just getting started, but they don't have good payout value. Also did anyone watch LSV's stream last night? He was signing tokens for Grand Prix Las Vegas on stream, and casually 3-0'd a Dragons draft while signing, talking to the chat, and playing.

I can't get enough of bad article chat http://www.starcitygames.com/article/30845_A-Deck-By-Any-Other-Name-The-Guide-To-Naming-Magic-Decks.html The only way this article makes any sense is if it's 100% ironic especially this part quote:Sligh: This term has been around for around twenty years now. Well-respected historians like BDM can probably comment more in-depth on the actual origins of the term outside of its obvious "Lightning Bolt" + "being sneaky" pun. In short, it's a red deck that spends a lot of time trying to blitz wins more through strategic pumps, burn timings, and anti-blocking trickery than just jamming fast red creatures on curve. I typically think of the curve of Sligh decks topping out at two. If you look at Tom Ross's Boss Sligh builds from last year beside the current crop of Atarka Red and Mono-Red Aggro decks, you'll see quite a bit of distinction. but also this part quote:"My deck is called The Holy Roman Empire." What I'm saying is I'm sure every magic writer out there is just being "ironic" at this point. Also holy roman empire would be a great name for any magic deck fwiw. also quote:Carsten Kotter recently did great work on reviving an old all-in G/B Legacy archetype based on the very old Suicide Black decks. This crop of Eternal decks were mostly known as Eva Green decks back then (I presume she's an actress or model, I refuse to look or care). Though the name has no relevance to informative Magic deck labels today, and really never did, I triumphantly maintained the archetype's historical precedent.  . Eva Green is actually an amazing deck name.

Eva Green is a very good actress. Dude's missing out. Re naming a deck The Holy Roman Empire, I'd say calling an Elf deck that is pretty fitting, considering that the HRE itself wasn't holy or Roman, and it wasn't even really an empire.

Trilas posted:Eva Green is a very good actress. Dude's missing out. Exactly this. But there's also this sentence: quote:Again, I'm not omnipotent, but I'm quite sure there weren't many Elves living at the time of Roman rule. In fact, Theros all but confirmed it.  Also Suicide Black with a Green splash is Eva Green because of Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale.

As someone who writes in "Burn Down For What" on all my DCI lists, I approve of any pun deck names. Haven't figured out a good one for Death and Taxes yet, sadly. Edit: I just remembered who that was and maybe will have to make an exception for any Eva Braun puns, should the situation arise. Trilas fucked around with this message at 17:22 on May 19, 2015 |

People should have fun with deck names and call them silly things all the time and break the SCG reporting name hegemony of [color combination] [game plan]. E: Oh poo poo this was started by a SCG article! They are paying people to stifle and silence opposition to their simplistic and boring naming schemes!

Established decks have the best names. Death and taxes, cephalid breakfast, maverick, nic fit. All of these are better than Sultai Aggro. Edit: I also hate the clan names. Jeskai is American stop loving around and RUG and BUG are just easier to say.

After the old Gaea's Might Get There deck from a billion years ago, my Modern Maya brew using Might of the Nephilim has been referred to as Mehall Might Get there since old Rav released. Course, the deck is too slow for Modern, but it's a work in progress.

I've never understood why SCG can't just say a silly name and then explain what the archetype is, why can't they say " So and so is playing The Rock, an abzan midrage deck" Let people have their silly pet-names, who cares.

Yawgmoth posted:There are so many countries that use RWU in their flag that I want to run it just to call my deck a different country every week. I do this to differentiate my UWR miracles and modern control decks. I've asked different people what feels more Russian or French or Dutch or whatever but sadly we can't come to a conclusion so I just give them spontaneous names every week. I do feel like the midrange Venser one feels Russian somehow, compared to the French pure control version of miracles. Dunno why.
