There should be an unplayable in limited rare cycle that just removes planeswalkers. 1W Enchantment: Exile Target Planeswalker until this enchantment leaves the battlefield. 1G Sorcery: Target creature you control does damage equal to it's power to target planeswalker. 1U: We already have Disperse and Negate, blue is fine. 1B Instant: Destroy target planeswalker. 1R Instant: ~ deals 3 damage to target creature or 5 damage to target planeswalker. Hell if you wanted to make them playable just make them charms where the second ability is Draw a Card.

LSV has Fiery Temper in hand, and a Reckless Scholar in play. It's the end of the opponent's turn, LSV is tapped out. Fiery Temper basically wins the game if the opponent has nothing in hand next turn (they could have Aim High to untap a Sleep Paralyzed 7/7). Should LSV loot? He made a strawpoll, had his Twitch audience vote, and just as he's about to loot....his opponent concedes. It was unreal.

It looks like a fun list and I'd like to play it. How would you wager are the match ups? I can't take any credit for that one. We just wanted to play Ojutai and Always watching and he doesn't have either.

AlternateNu posted:How is this not running Stormchaser, especially with the number of spells its running? You're trying to play tempo with the deck, stormchaser is an aggro card. You want to pass your T2 with 2 mana open and depending on what your opponent does either clash the 3 drop they cast, or flash in a 2 drop. Then keep up mana for burn and counters while plinking away. Goldnight is for closing out the game.

DurdleDuck posted:Are there any Atlanta Goons in here? I just moved to Mableton and am looking for opinions on stores to go to. I'll play everything that's not Vintage (too poor) or Commander (too competitive). I've heard good things about Elemental Games in Dallas. The shop in Douglasville gets a decent size standard crowd that isn't full of Grinders. Raven't Nest has a bit of a rep for being a grinder store so be aware of that. Other stores are around just depends on how much you want to drive. Wasteland Gaming is pretty big store in Duluth, but it's also a mega grinder store. But if you want to play Legacy/Vintage it and Raven's Nest are gonna be your two main stores. Note that I'm okay playing with grinders, but it's an important thing to note about the various stores. Raven't Nest is gonna be the closest "best" store to you though. I have a friend who owns a store in Snellville who does 10 dollar drafts every friday, but thats bit of a drive. anglachel fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Jun 7, 2016 |

There's a lot of cards that they could print, but won't, because they'd be narrow and dumb. They could print a "1B destroy target planeswalker" spell, but there's really no reason to do that instead of what they've already been doing, which is giving us a steady stream of Dreadbores, Hero's Downfalls, Ruinous Paths, Banishing Lights, and Anguished Unmakings, cards that are actually useful in the 50-75% of constructed games and 98% of limited games that never involve a planeswalker. And even just having evasive creatures or burn spells exist is already one answer to planeswalkers.

I think the absence of spells like Shock/Bolt/Searing Spear also contributes to the relative strength of planeswalkers right now because there's no way to close the gap against a single high loyalty walker, even after attacking.

Same with Archangel of Tithes. I've been playing this on MTGO and at my local ship for over a month to huge success: http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/398622#paper The sideboard is really outdated, but you get the point. Probably the deck I'll be taking to the SCG Open in Orlando this month, mostly because I don't care enough about Standard to keep up multiple decks (though I could throw GW Tokens together if I cared to hunt down some Nissas).
