Das Butterbrot posted:6.5/10 Light play I actually have it saved as LP Underground Sea. It's commander playable and cost me $10 so  I could probably get away with playing it double sleeved but Underground Sea is the most boring card in this game and I've never played a 60 card deck that had one in it that was remotely fun so why would I do that?I've been meaning to get it repaired and sell it for $way too much but

After Assassin's Trophy, the GRN card I'm most interested to see in action is Mission Briefing. Snapcaster Mage is obviously a multi-format all-star, and I wonder how this card compares considering that it's not a creature, but comes with some card selection and graveyard feeding. One of my first ideas was to plug it into a Jeskai tokens decks I brewed up a while back but never got to play- Deck: Jeskai Pyro-Mentor    //Lands 1 Arid Mesa 4 Flooded Strand 1 Hallowed Fountain 3 Island 1 Mountain 1 Plains 1 Sacred Foundry 3 Scalding Tarn 1 Seachrome Coast 2 Spirebluff Canal 2 Steam Vents //Spells 3 Cryptic Command 1 Electrolyze 4 Lightning Bolt 1 Logic Knot 2 Mission Briefing 4 Opt 4 Path to Exile 4 Remand 4 Serum Visions 2 Spell Snare //Creatures 4 Monastery Mentor 3 Snapcaster Mage 4 Young Pyromancer //Sideboard 1 Ceremonious Rejection 2 Damping Sphere 1 Disdainful Stroke 1 Dispel 2 Lightning Helix 2 Negate 2 Rest in Peace 2 Stony Silence 2 Wear // Tear  Display deck statisticsAt first glance 3 Cryptics is maybe too many with only 20 lands, and RiP in the sideboard seems like a non-bo with Snapcaster effects. But getting token triggers off of Briefings while digging for more spells seems good. Any thoughts on what decks might want extra Snapcaster effects? E: Yes I am trying to figure out if it's good in Mill, since the way it's worded means you can cast Archive Trap from the yard for 0. C-Euro fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Oct 2, 2018 |

I'm interested to see if Grixis Death Shadow starts using Mission Briefing over Snapcaster just to help keep the grave filled/power out more Anglers.

Briefing into Cryptic requires 5 U sources, which is very difficult for a 3 color deck, even with Modern lands. UW can get away with it, but UWx can't.

So I refuse to pay $25/each for assassin's trophy the next couple weeks even though I want to use them. The question is, are GBx decks going to be popular enough with people trying that card that I should run it back to my heart's true desire and play GW hatebears with 4x Mirran Crusader in the main? Probably cut 1-2 loxodon smiters from the old build for some Knight of Autumn as well. I wish there wasn't such a density of 3 drops in bears decks so I could find play a set of militia bugler as well. Might do it anyway just to goof around at weeklies.

Is Death's Shadow a legit deck in Legacy? I'm trying to decide on a deck to bring to Eternal Weekend. I have Vintage, and multiple Modern decks already. Also, what is even good in No Ban List Modern?

I really hate that they replaced the second Modern challenge each day with No Ban List for this year.

TheKingofSprings posted:Storm and Eldrazi are insanely good in No Ban List Modern Storm was unimpressive and put up no results last time there was a big event. Eldrazi is the top deck by far. Second best is dark depths. Past that there is a variety but at the Open there wasnt as much variety as youd expect at the top tables at the end of day 2.

That being said my team just went 1-5 drop at the open and the only match i won was against Noah Walker while he was in grixis control. I have to say he was really nice. Very fun opponent to play against.

Well play wise this weekend was a bust, but I did do well on cashing out. My legacy/modern staples sold for about 12k and that leaves me with 4 decks and a lot of bulk and sealed to get rid of. Good times.

I just cut back on Patreons and a bunch of other bullshit to justify $60/month for Manatraders for a while. It's too expensive for what it is, but it works pretty well and gives me a way to grind games with a bunch of decks in advance of a Leaving a Legacy 2-5k in a month. I also just buylisted around $1500 worth of stuff, picking up a couple tundras and a USea. Any bostongoons that might be at that 2-5k? If I go I'm gonna be tempted to play Miracles but probably should play infect; I feel like my odds of making correct decisions with a grindy go-to-turns deck in a 9-round tournament are not very good. I'm also high off of playing Infect at a ~15 person LGS tournament in NoVA last week as my first time playing sanctioned legacy since 2016, and going 4-0 (round4 opp and I agreed to split in advance, but played and I destroyed him in 2 games). That last round opponent was playing a fully foiled ANT deck, with Beta dual lands which he had bought as graded 8.5s and cracked out of their cases. poo poo you see in NoVA, I guess -- no one around here has that kind of money. Also he had bought them post spike and said the Volcs were $10,000. Each. My only gripe against Infect is that it's probably more variance prone than UW? Round one was against BR reanimator; I'm not terrified of that matchup, but lucked out in that in game 2 I had naturally drawn the Bog at just the right time to play it, and game 3 he kept a sketchy hand where he had to unmask himself to bin a fatty, which left me with a Force for his reanimation spell... and had the bog in my hand again when I untapped. That game was bizarre because I didn't draw a single pump spell, but had 2 nexus and 2 stalkers on the board at the end of the game.

Do they just send you the deck? I imagine there's a crazy amount of insurance on those cards.

ilmucche posted:Do they just send you the deck? I imagine there's a crazy amount of insurance on those cards. I'm just using it for MTGO grinding; they do have a plan that lets you rent paper decks but it's not very useful to me so I didn't look at it in detail. XMage is fine for playing for fun / drafting new sets before release, and it's free but for actual tournament prep MTGO leagues seem better.

It wasn't like, buylist prices but it wasn't max what I could get selling them individually myself.

Yeah you just pick what cards you want and they give them to you, and you have a limit of 'manahours' per month (cost of borrowed cards * time). The limit to how much you can have rented at once goes up over time and by paying more. Tim Raines IRL posted:Any bostongoons that might be at that 2-5k?

Guaranteed 2k, scales with attendance ($40 buy in), I believe they did this several months ago and it was a 3.5k @ 140ish players. It's kind of dumb for me to even be thinking about this because I don't have anyone from VT to go with and I don't know anyone going, but my urge to play legacy is strong.
