Literally bought all the stuff for Goblin Fecundity before that video dropped. Good timing I guess? His build does seem weird though. Seems a bit clunkier, especially with all the rituals. Although Auntie's Hovel does seem nice as a cheaper alternative to Blackcleave Cliffs.

I may have made a terrible mistake getting back into Magic in TYOOL 2018. It’s way too easy to wake up in the middle of the night and end up dropping $100 on singles while trying to get back to sleep.

Speaking of getting into pauper, anyone have anything fun to play in that? Thinking about getting into the format and so I'm building a couple decks. Sultai land destruction seems fun to me but neither very good nor likely to convince my friends to play much.

I mostly went to the MTG Goldfish Metagame page and grabbed decks that looked interesting. Right now I have Affinity, Elves, Mono-White Heroic, Tortured Existence and a bunch of fringier decks built. I'm planning to play Elves at the next Rags to Riches in May.

TheKingofSprings posted:I'm not sure exactly how, but this list seems pretty suboptimal to me. Bogart Harbinger is okay but if you're going to do black you want Viscera Seer too. Or maybe even instead. Certainly Viscera Seer is the best generic sac outlet in the format. I also tested with Grim Haruspex, yeah it doesn't draw on tokens but it does draw enough, but it wasn't really great. You still wanted Fecundity in play. Commune with the Gods is also a thing that helps find Fecundity but feels terrible to hit wile comboing off. Mostly the mulligan is your most powerful tool to get a hand that can combo, because without Fecundity in it you aren't likely to combo at all. I tried the ritual ritual plunge (=ritual) deck too and while it's not bad it's all-in on comboing, which depend a lot more on the state of your opening hand than the aggro-combo version. The nice thing about going Aggro-Combo is that it sometimes can just win off of tokens and bushwhackers. Also why the heck is Piledriver in that deck, that is just pointless.

Smothering Abomination could work but slower is worse. I'll have to try it. The thing that got me about the combo specifically is how it really wants to both draw a card and add a mana with as many cards as possible. Draw a card is per creature. Like, Pyretic Ritual is +1 mana but doesn't draw a card. That's fine for storming up to an Empty the Warrens you already have in hand, it's not great without that component. The cards that are at least at least replace the draw and mana are: Krenko's Command (replaces itself and draws +1) Dragon Fodder (replaces itself and draws +1) Hordeling Outburst (replaces itself and draws +2) Mogg War Marshal (replaces itself and draws +2 and mana +1) Kuldotha Rebirth (replaces itself and replaces the artifact and draws +2 and mana +2) Empty the Warrens (once you play one you have everything you need to draw and cast your deck) Manamorphose (replaces itself) Wild Cantor (replaces itself) Any 1cc Goblin (replaces itself) Kind of: Chancellor of the Forge (replaces itself and mana +1... for the opening hand. otherwise is a super-clunky empty the warrens) Krenko, Mob Boss (clunky empty the warrens) Goblinslide... technically, if you play a lot of rituals (makes them replace themselves) Infernal Plunge... not really (replaces the creature, does not replace itself, +2 mana) So like, for me the clear winner is Mogg War Marshal, and I like Kuldotha Rebirth even though it's conditional. More Empty the Warrens is good because even Storm 1 is card-positive mana-neutral and Storm 2 is highly positive for both. After a playset of empty if I needed more I'd try would be Hordeling Outburst. And so on. And in my supporting cards I'm looking for synergy with these cards. So like, Goblin Bushwhacker replaces itself if it's cast without kicker and can win the game with kicker, that's good. 1cc goblins > 2cc goblins.

Infernal Plunge is good, Goblin Grenade is good. Sometimes you just win with a huge Empty the Warrens after emptying your hand!

Infernal Plunge is probably the best ritual to run in the deck if you’re running any at all

I think some amount of rituals is good if you're all-in. There are times where I was chaining together the 2 mana token spells but Hordeling Outburst & Empty the Warrens would get stuck in my hand because I couldn't find Mogg War Marshal to gain mana. Rituals let me win a game with a 1 land hand by going t1 Bushwhacker -> t2 Plunge Ritual Skirk Mogg Manamorphose land Empty Empty for 23 tokens The Dirty Kitty deck looks cool, but seems like a different beast (and I can't really say much about tuning it). e: In the above scenario I used Desperate Ritual because I have a few on MTGO and just 1 Plunge, but Plunge would have substituted fine by playing Mogg first myDad fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Apr 20, 2018 |

You missed another gem in the faq:quote:Q: How many codes can a player redeem? Assuming you can't tell what the item is before redeeming, you get on average one booster pack, 9 cards, 900gold, and then you are done redeeming,.

I know we like to be angry about things but being upset about a test that only a few thousand people in the world get to take part in for items that they clearly state are not indicative of the final product seems like a bit much.
