I'm not making GBS threads on Exalted, what kind of monster do you think I am! I had a casual deck around Astral Slide back then too, man I wanted them to bring that back for Amonkhet. Would probably be really annoying with how much better ETB creatures are these days.

RW Slide was a deck and it blinked Exalted Angel because Exalted Angel was a good card Later GW Slide was a deck but I don't remember it having non-Angel morphs offhand, it blinked stuff like Eternal Witness and Viridian Shaman instead

They should've just made it whenever you cycled a card for ~modern design sensibilities~ and added on some bullshit. Cycling is the best blinking poo poo is the best.

Rinkles posted:This standard "Gift" deck real? Owen's playing it. I have been playing it for the last two-three weeks, tried the UR hollow one version and more recently the one with trophy mage similar to what at least one of the teams have been playing at this GP. As long as everyone isn't playing Ulamog decks or control decks with a ton of counterspells you'll probably clean up. It matches up really well against other creature decks. mcmagic posted:Anyone watch Fabiano's video? He couldn't say Whirler Virtuoso....

PSA to GenCon attendees: HotSauce games is liquidating their modern inventory in the exhibit hall. I paid 39 bucks each for a playset of really good condition noble hierarchs. I also got a bunch of stuff signed, will post pics of the cooler ones when I get home.

There is a PPTQ today at a local store that I was going to go to but when I heard 90+ people showed up. There is no reason to play a 90 person PPTQ.

Someone I know is judging side events at GP Denver. He would have done the main event or whatever he needs to get to level two certification, but Wizards/CFB scheduled the tournament the weekend before the eclipse, so he's got to haul rear end back to Wyoming early tomorrow morning. Traffic is going to be insane the whole way up.

MrBling posted:4-0'ed standard FNM with this deck. It is really fun to play, too bad it probably dies completely at rotation. Unless something as good as Stormchaser Mage appears in Ixalan. If you're playing the prowess version with Riddleform, Consuming Fervor is a house. Hopefully we get some creatures for this deck in Ixalan, because a lot of it does survive rotation, just not enough creatures.

There has to be salty blue red prowess pirates at uncommon. A flamboyant swashbuckler swinging on the ropes sounds perfectly keyed to that, maybe with prowess and explore.

Doomed Traveler is the best common creature.
