As someone who actually talks to him regularly, Legacy is currently his favorite format and he's loved it since the top ban. He's also played brainstorm in Aluren and the reason he's on Deadguy Ale at the moment is because he thinks, rightly or wrongly, that the deck is decent in the post Miracles format, not hatred of brainstorm. He's pretty short with trolls in chat and can be a bit acerbic in general but whatever, not every stream has to be Caleb Durward's. I've offered criticism of his plays or content plenty of times and never gotten banned or timed out. He's also one of the top Magic streamers whenever he's streaming Magic so not sure where the "lol he banned so many people that no one is watching him" comes from. E: I'm also not sure when "thinks Reddit is garbage" became a controversial opinion around here. Rogue0071 fucked around with this message at 06:57 on May 21, 2017 |

MTGO bug report: did you know that you can cast spells and activate abilities after your opponent's Intuition resolves but before you pick a card? My opponent did not get priority at all, my Stroke went on the stack, then I was able to pop the Keg, activate Palinchron, or activate Conclave. Instead I just picked a Stroke, my stroke was then on the stack like normal. I also went 3-0/6-0 with lovely Morphling deck, maybe it's actually good?! No, no it isn't. I beat the Mirror by outplaying my opponent while playing faster, I beat Wildfire because Rishadan Port is nuts and they tried to use Temporal Aperture during the upkeep twice, and I beat Academy because they rushed the kill and were down on clock.

BizarroAzrael posted:Yeah, played Marvel 3 times at GP Montreal and didn't lose. Jeskai control seemed bad though. Honestly I think the BW zombies list wants Selfless Spirit in the sideboard, and if I were still running it I'd just plug it in instead of 4 scrounger. I might be taking a long break or just play limited until the next set comes out. The MTGO online Meta is basically just Marvel and UR control. I could switch to UW flash or something to counter it but honestly the UR deck is just so boring to play against, even if it isn't particularly good, the matches just go on forever and I'd rather play Mardu mirrors for another 6 months then have every match be a 20 turn affair.

Welp I just had my most satisfying victory ever. I got Academy and my opponent was on Wildfire. Usually Academy cannot lose that match, but my opponent boarded into 600 cards because the Throwback Gauntlet Leagues are held in the Limited room, and therefore you can add basic lands during sideboarding. 600 cards is the maximum for MTGO. Yes, I know. Anyway I boarded out too many artifacts and could only mill 546 cards, so instead I wasted about 12 minutes off my opponents clock and boarded into 75 cards game 3. I won by wasting my opponents clock as much as possible, playing all my artifacts, and then Stroking them for about 200, holding up a couple Counterspells and a Turnabout to tap their lands, and then making them try to discard down to 7 in a minute and a half. They could not. Taste it, bug abusing opponent, I know how to scum MTGO pretty hard.

Reminds me of the time I let my extremely slow pauper Stompy opponent try to kill me for 20 minutes in game 2 while I was at like 30 life could gain a lot more and kill them any time I wanted. Eventually I got their clock to less than 2 minutes so I just played 2 Fangren Marauders and gained 90-something life. I think I might have had about 2 more turns left in game 3 (thanks Tangle!) when they timed out. I had something like 18 minutes left on my clock at the end. Screw 'em if they don't want to concede when they're dead.

Walked posted:drat it. Obviously it's better if no one expects it, but if you've been getting reps with the deck you are in a much better place than the people just picking it up. I recommend just doing some sideboard games vs meta decks with them sideboarding the worst things you can think of vs your deck. You can figure out what your outs are, and tweek your sideboard to play into that plan.

I'm trying to make a guess as to whether I actually expect to see storm in paper. It's everywhere online but I never run into in paper events. Other than storm and grixis control it seems to have a pretty favorable matchup around the meta.

Soul Glo posted:I'm on the "Relentless Dead Isn't That Great" team. It doesn't do anything on the board besides be another synergistic 2/2 albeit with menace, and you have to burn mana when it dies to see upside. I felt good with Transgress in the 2-drop spot every time I sided it in today though, always for Fatal Push. It might be worth maining if control actually sees an uptick in the meta if UR impacts. I bet there's usually something worth hitting with Transgress against just about every deck that you're worried about. I also stopped running Relentless Dead and replaced with Transgress the Mind. Running discard (exile) plus Anguished Unmaking really helps (particularly against New Perspectives).

But, I cannot argue how good U/W's sideboard options are. So, I decided to try to have my cake and eat it, too. The one thing I like about U/B's walker finishers is that unlike Elspeth, I don't have to pay 6 mana for them, meaning I can shave a land or two and play more interaction. My true list would run 3 x Liliana, the Last Hope, but I only have two at the moment. Anywho, thoughts? Comments? Critiques?

YggdrasilTM posted:Top 8 GP Montreal: Yeah that about sums up this format. Despite the prevalence of U/R and Marvel online, I don't think this format has a best deck. I decided to take an old, poorly optimized B/G Energy deck for a spin and I managed to go 4-1 losing in the finals to Marvel. If I had to pick I think we've come full circle to Mardu being the best deck again.

Managed to win my Game Day draft for the playmat. Made it through 5 rounds undefeated with U/W Zombies/tokens. Best cards were Temmet, Aven Wind Guide, and Oketra's Monument. Had lots of close games but managed to clutch it out. Time to go get murdered by Hazoret.

Players are allowed to talk in their own language at worlds, and that usually means the opposing team doesn't understand them. Seems like it would be the same for whispering.
