Johnny Five-Jaces posted:my guess is they're trying to snag vial and port but... uh... i dunno. Seems sketchy. The correct answer is that they are very bad like most MTGO players but there is no justice in this game so I lost to the one in the league anyway because as it turns out drawing 15 lands and 5 spells in one game and 3 lands total across the other 2 doesn't win very many games!

I've had 2 people do it this week. Surgical is just a fun card and lots of people like jamming it as a "gently caress your 4 of" card but yeah it's not great vs. D&T. I guess it's semi legit if they really can't deal with Wasteland?

Yeah, on 12 Post I usually board some in against D&T for Wastelands, then take them right back out when I remember it doesn't really deal with any of their other cards and I'm better off using something that might help against Cataclysm instead.

This story of playing two grim flayers in a deathrite shaman format is very illustrative of how modo players are bad thank you!

Playing with a suboptimal build or a not-really-an-archtype (in this case, sultai vial) for fun is not the same as making obviously bad decisions in game. God forbid anyone have fun playing magic, right?

Hitting Delerium in Legacy is really easy and it turns out being able to Brainstorm two bad cards onto the top of your library and then have Flayer dump them in the trash is pretty good.

Delver is a Wizard, and Wizards arent Creatures, theyre just spells that leave bodies. Other notable examples include Snapcaster Mage and vendilion clique. Thalia is just a thorn that costs white mana, totally not a creature. Mentor is a 3 mana moat that produces attackers, definitely not a creature at all. And Deathrite is a 1-mana planeswalker. I see no creatures there.

I got a box of Kaladesh as a gift and opened a foiled Sword of Feast and Famine. I do not want to keep this card and would like to sell it to buy cards I am not paranoid about. What is the best way to maximize my return for it? Most stores won't offer me less than 50% of its value, is online the best way? is there a place outside ebay that I can put it up for sale?

Even if Thalia was a creature, you wouldn't cast it, you'd just Vial it in.

Baleful Strix is a wizard's familiar, so it can stay as its a cantripping removal spell. Blighted agent is a creature therefore unplayably bad. Gurmag Angler is a creature and therefore unplayably bad.

Printing Paradoxical Outcome was a mistake, the deck is just way too good. I think Wizards needs to ban or restrict Gleemox to keep it in check. https://clips.twitch.tv/richshay/StrangeTigerBibleThump
