Grognards are usually spikes and thus play elsewhere, or down the hall at the wargaming tables, heh. Honestly Seattle is spoiled for choice for LGSs. What it's really missing is larger tournaments.

mcmagic posted:Does WB not play Relentless dead? I considered it, I just think Relentless dead is too weak, on top of being difficult to cast. It also doesn't do anything by being on the board, all the value comes on the death trigger, which compared to binding mummy and wayward servant, the all star zombie we are splashing for, it doesn't stand up. I played the mono black version twice on my way to 5-0 and at no point did I wish I had the other guy's deck. The sideboard games are even better, as declaration in stone is one more trump on big boards. The decks I faced were 2x Zombie, Marvel, U/R and G/B energy.

Dr. Angela Ziegler posted:Yeah, we are extremely spoiled. It's seriously the greatest. No dusty old Kenner Star Trek action figures hanging on the wall, no neckbeards crowding the register, no faded posters over the windows, $8,000 wargaming tables and 8 beer taps. When I was in Seattle I made a special trip to go check them out and the hype lived up. My LGS is pretty rad but I have to walk across the street to go get a drink which is definitely a detractor.

suicidesteve posted:It sounds like they're like the FFL but for design instead of development. i.e. They would look at cards and say mechanics and say "hey maybe printing these extremely powerful, colorless artifacts that attack and are immune to sorcery speed removal is bad and we should do something else." or "let's not print another cost reducing mechanic because we've had about 200 broken cards with a cost reduction mechanic and exactly 4 that aren't broken." It seems like they made a group whose goal is to actually make the "best deck" in the format every time instead of the FFL who spend alot of time playing with niche cards to see if people could make a deck out of them.

Is the income level high enough these garbage human don't get a chance to come out? Also, the staff at both locations are good people (not shitlords) and the people they have running their events and judging them are fair and know what they're doing. Biggest thing I miss about going to those stores were that the people running the events are exclusively running the events and have the tools (functional computer with WER running on it) needed to do so available to them - they aren't also trying to sell comics / miniatures / other poo poo to people at the same time and the computer running the event isn't also being used as the only point of sale system in the store.

Drunk-drafted this deck last night after P1P1 Gideon and felt preeeeetty good about it. I'm currently 2-0; 4-0 in games. E: 3-0'd with one game loss. Deck was super fun to play. The one game I lost I flooded out with just one color for a little too long. TheMaestroso fucked around with this message at 02:50 on May 18, 2017 |

Devotion doesn't count swamps, only specifically B mana-symbols in mana costs. so on an empty board the first does 2, and the second does 4.

Advice for this throwback standard gauntlet: try to roll one of the decks that kills on turn two instead of the one that plays five mana 3/3s.

I'm in Montreal for the GP at the weekend with BG Delirium/Constrictor, but I'm really tempted to switch to BW Zombies. There's a few stores here, but the biggest, Face to Face, doesn't have Dread Wanderer or Liliana's Mastery showing as available. If I really want to so this, given I have stuff to trade into it including a foil Torrential Gearhulk, is it likely I could get it together for Friday's qualifier? Might be too early for vendors at the venue.

Before I played the league with zombies I tried a few practice matches in the tournament practice room, just to see some hands since I had never played it at all. My first game someone plays a sacred cat T1 into Anointer Priest T2. I just concede the match immediately assuming it was someone wasting my time, but it turns out that's actually a real deck, technically, https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/645193#online
