Pyronic posted:does Silverfur Partisan interact with storm spells like Ground Rift the way I want it to? It will work, but I'm not sure how that storm deck is better than the traditional UR builds or what this card does better than Grapeshot or Empty the Warrens. I guess you don't need as many triggers to win since it makes 2/2s, but my understanding of Storm is that it generally either goes off or it doesn't and there's a serious cost in adding this card since it means splashing a third color and keeping it alive to go off with.

And that's ooh real sexy, right, because you don't get to see the armpits of muslim women that often. Because they're forbidden?" ..Okay, Charlie Brooker I ain't. This reminds me - why the gently caress does everyone pronounce her name "Lilly Anna"? that's just stupid.

whydirt posted:How do you pronounce it? Like the first one here. I'm over-reacting when I'm saying it's stupid, of course, it's up to a person to say how their name is pronounced (or in the case of fictional characters - their creators), however it always sounds so jarring to me to hear it pronounced as basically two separate names, rather than a single one, like it's spelled. I suppose not being a native English speaker also has something to do with it.

I actually think Languish is so good that it might be worth dropping the TNS's for totally. TNS dies to alot in this format and I think it's taking a step back.

I actually think Languish is so good that it might be worth dropping the TNS's for totally. TNS dies to alot in this format and I think it's taking a step back. It is mostly just a playtest thing to run the two different planeswalkers and my list started out from discussion on reddit. In playtesting, they are super similar and honestly for some reason it feels right at the moment. I doubt the decklist is going to be set in stone, its just what I am playing atm to get a feel for what I like better. Declaration in stone and languish have all been considerations. So has Flaying tendrils. All have been used in the board or mainboard in all sorts of configurations. All could be better or worse depending on how the meta shakes out. If I am playing TKS though, languish is probably better out of the board and that is why it is the current way in that build. I really love declaration in stone and in this build it was coming out of the board. I really like TKS. Yes, lanquish kills it but at the turn it comes down you are more likely to exile a lanquish then your opponent to have 2 or topdeck the other. It works with trangress in that you get rid of the few options your opponent has to do anything against your reality smasher or planeswwalkers that you just run over them. Telex posted:what's the point of this instead of another llanowar wastes? (and/or any other colorless producers instead of these specifically) It produces white and colorless and llanowar wastes produce black and colorless. Sometimes you need different lands that produce different mana to make the deck more consistent. Count Bleck posted:Wrong Sorin buddy. Ha, didn't notice. Good catch.

Really like that deck, Sickening. I think I'm going to be running something quite similar. I don't want To The Slaughter MB unless I have sinister concoction or something to help ensure I get delirium, and I'd probably swap out Secure the Wastes for Declaration in Stone. You make a good point about TKS taking out the removal that would be used on it, but I'm actually kind of worried about potential madness/delirium enabling from Reality Smasher. Transgress also might find itself turning into Duress. A lot of this is meta-dependent tweaking, the core is solid. I do like the idea of running both Ob and Sorin--you'll deal enough damage to yourself that Sorin's lifegain will be really welcome (plus he's only two turns from an ult that wins you the game with Westvale Abbey, the most ballin' way to win in the format) but Ob coming out a turn earlier and just straight up destroying a creature will be quite nice as well, I think having a split is the right choice. I'll either do this, Esper, or a janky RG ramp build. I haven't played Standard since RTR/Theros i'm pretty fuckin excited

I think this might be the first standard I commit to control and honestly I can't say I'm not excited. The creatures are small enough that languish is good enough to be a board wioe, and theres a bunch of sac spells that get around the ulamog problem

It's really impressive because he had to find his way to the comments section of an article on a high-end MTG Strategy site to go off about the evils of netdecking. I suspect that's why LSV pointed it out, too.

You make a good point about TKS taking out the removal that would be used on it, but I'm actually kind of worried about potential madness/delirium enabling from Reality Smasher. Transgress also might find itself turning into Duress. I agree with your points and its kind of nice how the options given to this deck are so incredibly flexible compared to other deck color choices. I think dead weight enables delirium enough and with how many planeswalkers show up turns 5-7 it can be a real blowout for 2x slots. I really do like secure the wastes at the moment. It gives you options if your opponent is also playing control or is midrange that has a slow draw. End of turn secure the wastes against b/w control or the mirror means that you get a full turn out of them considering languish and DIS are sorceries. Also, abbey online a lot in this deck and I find that part hilarious. Declaration in stone is very powerful. The problem I find is that sorcery speed means that unless you are playing against something green, zombies, or tokens you aren't getting enough 2 for 1. I would also say that blowing up tokens against the mirror or control really didn't work out in my favor long term. Its just something in my sideboard for more aggressive decks along with languish, tendrils, and others. Salvor_Hardin posted:Has anyone been testing that Red Eldrazi deck in the post-rotation format? I have most of it built and I'm hoping it's for real. In my experience the deck is fun, easy to play, and probably going to be one of the few aggressive/midrange deck options. The only issue I had with it is that the sideboard isn't great against g/r ramp. G/R ramp with k-return is going to blowout that deck from time to time without much that can be done. You can't ignore a deck that plays lower cost fatties and turns them sideways though. Sickening fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Mar 31, 2016 |

Oh my god I'm reading those comments and I feel so bad for this weird dude. I think what weirds me out the most is the way he messes up common turns of phrase, like "I'm going to get a slack for this" instead of flak or "when you broil it down" instead of boil. Also the best quote from a person I have heard in a while: "having too much info just bogs my head so i rather have none."

Looks like there was a bit of a run at westvale abbey over the last 24 hours... Lowest tcgplayer preorder price is just shy of $20, seems sold out pre-order wise everywhere. This was preordering at $4 at the beginning of the week I think? Make sure you're bringing something to deal with an indestructible flyer if you're playing standard day one
