Bogles is the decklist you should always have on hand to audible into if you got REALLY DRUNK the night before, and now with your raging hangover need to play a nine round tournament minimum

Cool deck to play if you hate yourself or are a literal monkey that can only perform basic rudamentary tasks: RG valakut. The deck is comprised only of lands and ramp spells (even Primeval Titan is ramp spell) and you just play your lands and ramp spells and win. It helps if you can count to six and are good at multiplying stuff by 3.

I think jund is a better deck if you hate yourself. It forces you to make a ton of decisions and the reward for getting them all right is a 50% winrate.

First game he mulls to 6 or 5, discard spell, kill his spirtdancer he kept on, game 2. He mulled to 4. Kept land, land, spirit dancer, daybreak coronet. Take is coronet, surgical them all away, kill his spirit dancer. He drew 1 drop dudes and no enchantments. Always jund 'em out kids. little munchkin posted:I think jund is a better deck if you hate yourself.

Surgical against Bogles is why nobody should ever play Surgical imo. Also I Mindslavered Bogles once with my Emrakul and out an Ethereal Armor and Daybreak on her. It was a delight.

I even got to hardcast her one game thanks to a Blood Moon and lots of uncracked fetches! Also, are you a Jund/Junk player by chance

Bogles is useless without daybreak practically. Fair. I don't like taking out removal against them as Jund. All your removal still has a pretty good use, right? Decays can really own a Daybreak draw, Pulse is probably your only way to kill a Leyline, Bolt can kill Spirit Dancers, Dryad Arbors, and them. I don't know exactly what you're playing but the only thing I can think of that's really bad is Kolaghan's Command. Push is pretty bad but probably still better than Surgical imo.

That bogles player sounds terrible, and/or like they had terrible options. Jund is a hard matchup because you can destroy auras, and you have LotV.

The actual answer is to bring a deck of old but often reprinted yugioh cards, because it means you wasted the entrance fee, your time, and whatever money you spent on the old yugioh deck

Some Numbers posted:I saw two guys collude at a prere, where they waited to get the results of another match to ensure that they could safely ID. That's impressively lovely. I had a similar issue at a 4k I was judging (which at least is worth being a crappy dude at, I guess). Both of them had their decks in their bags 1 minute into the round and I walked up and told them both to start playing or get slow play. 3 minutes in they're still sat there like lemons so they get their SP warning and tell them if they don't start immediately I'm giving them both Game Losses. I also go off policy a little bit (unsanctioned event so whatever) and tell them I'd be giving them those Game Losses in the top 8. Snap ID, everyone's happy. Mezzanon posted:Also I have been doing this for years so please tell me I'm not breaking any rules by offering the split like that. That'd be fine for like 95% of judges. Bribery policy is a bit open to interpretation but most judges are fine with "Split?" "Yes" "Great. I scoop." If you have any doubts, please talk to a judge away from the table to clarify if saying that would constitute bribery or not in their eyes.

If they actually played (at a reasonable pace) and then decided to draw after hearing the result of that other match, it'd be totally fine. Trying to not even start playing until you hear what happens seems really stupid - what if that other match takes a while, and then the result ends up being such that you don't actually want to ID? Incidentally, I'd be inclined to DQ for stalling if someone's intentionally playing slowly to gain an advantage in the tournament.

I think everyone should play whatever the hell they want, I just can't believe some people don't find RG valakut decks extremely boring. It appeals to the early Magic part of my brain where I just want to run people over with huge creatures. I actually finished BW Tokens a couple weeks ago and was thinking of switching it up for next FNM (or going back to Esper Mill now that a bunch of my worst matchups have taken a hit) but Breach does pretty well against my meta so I might just keep running it until people figure out how to beat it or start bringing in the appropriate SB hate. I'll be golden if the one guy running Ad Nauseum (who I seem to play every time I'm doing well) gets bored and goes back to Eldrazi Taxes.

Any good Modern Sultai or Bant Company lists with flip Jace? A pw that gets hit by company seems good. Flipping Jace triggers revolt for Push if that matters (probably doesn't because fetches?). I guess we'll see after this weekend.

A pw that gets hit by company seems good. Flipping Jace triggers revolt for Push if that matters (probably doesn't because fetches?). Not really. Sultai is pretty unlikely to happen because it's surprisingly awkward to build a collected company deck without white, but there's a pretty strong Bant company deck. It's a GW goodstuff deck that splashes blue for spell queller and the knight of the reliquary + retreat to coralhelm combo. It doesn't run JVP though, it's slow and if you want that kind of effect you would run eternal witness instead.

Splitting and scooping should never be discussed together. You can ask to split the prize, but you can't bribe the other person to lose. You can scoop almost whenever you want, but it can't be gambling or determined by another game. In practice, you know the other players and you don't have to talk about it, you just say split and report the result the way that gets the most packs.
