Spiderdrake posted:Top 5 single target removal is actually a really interesting debate since removal is somewhat format dependent. I think you go plow, lightning bolt and then I'm kinda not sure where it breaks down from there. Which isn't to say there aren't clearly good spells after I'm just kinda unsure how you'd rank them. Fatal Push Path to Exile I dunno, Abrupt Decay or something E: Actually, probably Dismember Elyv fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Aug 13, 2019 |

Spiderdrake posted:The top 5 pieces of countermagic for seeing play are all blue. And pretty much always are in every format. That's protected idea space. I'm extremely confused what this post is because the only targeted discard is black. e; like literally the only nonblack targeted discard spells is Venarian Glimmer from Planar Chaos, and I think there's a red punisher spell that makes target player discard blue cards unless they pay life?

clique and TKS are nowhere near close to the best discard spells though. they're amazing for their colors because normally blue doesn't get access to hand disruption (who knows what's colorless's slice of the pie) but TS, inquisition, cabal therapy, hymn all blow them away. oh, also duress. Yeah 5 best discard is 100% TS, cabal therapy, inquisition, hymn, and duress. 6th is liliana

A bad punisher counterspell for RR sounds really on brand actually. Both spells and bad punisher effects are perfect for red, so it just makes sense.

Aniodia posted:Assuming you're not being facetious w.r.t. the whole Judge Academy shitshow, the difference is due to the way they're worded. REB/BEB need to target the appropriate colored spell upon declaration of the counter mode (because they say "Counter target blue/red spell"), whereas Pyroblast/Hydroblast can target any spell, but don't do anything unless it's the right color upon resolution ("Counter target spell if it's blue/red"). Was not being facetious, I know it’s always a case of “the card does exactly what it says” but I was having trouble coming up with a scenario where that working would potentially matter. But that is it. And my opponent is still cheating

I incorporated 2 Incubation Druids into my Temur Elemental Aggro deck and holy loving poo poo 2 risen reefs, 1 omnath, 3 stormkin elementals and 2 incubation druids gets out of loving control fast. My opponent had 40 life at one point and I had 10. I managed to get him down to 6 before he killed me. EDIT: Just played a weird game and I'm super confused. I was playing against Blue / Green deck. My opponent basically milled himself (he had 0 cards left) and then I just lost. I have no idea what the gently caress happened but his turn lasted like 3 minutes.

I don't think they played a Jace but it is possible. EDIT: I have to thank you for mentioning Jace to me. I was playing singleton and got Duress. The person I was playing was playing Jace self mill, I used Duress to get Jace out of their hand and then they quit the game! SalTheBard fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Aug 14, 2019 |
