I keep wanting to build D&T but I have this weird mental hurdle against buying Vials at $50 apiece that stops me from doing so.

I had two radically different matches as Norin Sisters vs Merfolk at fmm. First guy is a fair match meaning I just outvalue him, game two he has to cast master of waves for 5 devotion into 2 sisters and a pridemate. I untap and show him Legion Loyalist and Fling.

Second Merfolk guy goes t1 cavern into vial, I play a sister, he goes t2 island, chalice on 1.

:what:

Later he plays a Sulfur Falls and tells me that he took his Blood Moons out of the deck last night.

The teen that won that match on Jeskai is the local "Best Teen in the Store" that I have posted about occasionally over the last few years. Although now that he's been to like 4 Pro Tours and Day 2-ed 3 of them, he's more like the local "Best Magic Player in the Region"

standard burn lists play 0 Shrines because the card is slow as molasses. They play 4 Eidolons because it damages your opponent whenever they play like 90% of the spells in their deck. It damages you when you play 100% of the spells in your deck but that's ok because they'll probably die first

I mean yeah that's the right way to do it, but I'm also trying to get myself to stop building so many decks because I don't play enough to warrant having a half-dozen Modern decks.

Or I should just figure out how to squeeze more Magic into my schedule! :v:

This gauntlet is bullshit:

I mean I know Project X probably doesn't work as well online since it takes so many clicks to gain life but not having a Dredge, Magnivore or UB Teachings deck seems wrong and having an actually good Dragonstorm list just makes it seem like that's the list you want to hit no matter what.

That Gifts deck also seems like it's going to get the poo poo kicked out of it, either from being way too slow or from people being incapable of playing it correctly. Also I dunno why that Hana Kami is in the sideboard, I'm literally always bringing it into the maindeck before playing the games.

Speaking of, put those loving Jittes into the maindeck of Zoo, come on.


Mirrodin Standard was actually fun if you ignored Affinity and Skullclamp and Krark Clan Ironworks.

I have an altered Dralnu because of that deck, I just didn't think any of you would have known what I was talking about. Glad to see you at least have good taste.

Same. Most often you just wish you hadn't drew it. Even when I'm using it to extract a snapcaster or eternal witness target, it's still just a 1-for-1. And when I've tried it in the ET mirror, I saw that when you use it to surgical out a tron piece, you actually go down a card and sacrifice a land, they still keep the same number of lands and next turn they're playing a TKS off of a temple anyway.

I still like it as a meta call if your meta has a lot of dredge, when it hits amalgams it's really good.

Question Time! I copy Fleecemane Lion with Mirage Mirror then activate the monstrosity ability. The turn ends and it becomes a regular mirror again (with a +1/+1 counter on it, i guess). Next turn I copy Fleecemane again.

Is the mirror still considered Monstrous?
