Fish Of Doom posted:In my experience, Rakdos Aggro destroys mono black. Side out the Marauders for thoughtseizes and burn, and side out the doom blades for dark betrayals. Mono black is usually just too slow to deal with something that wins turn 4 or 5. I've never lost to mono black with it, though this was all pre Drown in Sorrow, which probably hurts the match up a bit. How big of a hit is not having Thoughtseize? I've got the deck built except for those and I'm not really excited about purchasing a whole playset that costs more than the rest of the deck. Any suggestions for other SB candidates in lieu of Thoughtseize?

Don't understand the need to take pictures if I've already got a notepad out for life totals. Why would I take the time ask my opponent if it's OK for me to take a picture, pull out my phone, find the camera app, line up a shot, double check to make sure it's legible, then take a second one if it's not? Seems like a roundabout way to justify using your fancy pocket Facebook device. "Hold on" *scribbles in shorthand* "I'll pick that one, thanks." works a lot better.

Ran into the magic equivalent of a sports dad on gameday. I had played against him and lost to his UW control deck, then later saw him making one of his kids (who couldn't have been older than 14) goldfish an esper deck between rounds, spouting "inspirational" phrases like "top 8 is in here *Points to heart*" and "It's not the cards that win matches, it's you".

Korak posted:Yeah it just feels too efficient at times. It does everything a control deck or some funky midrange deck wants. I'm extremely curious what they do come rotation for Huey in terms of both counter magic and drawing card magic. Steam Augury is a fun card but its incredibly skill intensive and you really need it in a deck where every card is a powerhouse or you get some major benefit from your opponent helping you dump certain spells into the graveyard. Doing a quick gatherer search, Theros and BNG send a huge message that if you want to draw cards you better play creatures and enchantments to allow you to do so. My problem with Sphinx really boils down to the fact that it lends itself too well to a deck that easily drags the game on. I really hate having to concede in game 2 just so I can move to game 3 and still worry about going to extra turns. And on top of that, in my experience the people that play it tend to take forever deciding their plays. Steam Augury is a card I really like. It's got no place right now because if you're thinking of using it, you might as well just run Jace instead, it'll be interesting to see if it becomes more useful after rotation. I'd like to see it happen.

Sleep of Bronze posted:Eh on the specifics like Susano-o but I see your point about some more generic stuff. Unfortunately, the general tengu tricker temperament meant they were competing with a goblin variant in the red creature spot. There was some inspiration from tengu masks for the eventual visual design of the akki, but the prevalence of crow forms among tengu depictions meant they lost out. A red tribe who ought to have consistent flying, and would therefore demand it several times in the low rarities, wasn't going to pass. White kitsune got in based on the fox servants of Inari. Between serving someone and Inari's association with rice fields, the foxfolk shrank from their initial places in several colours to taking up a more prominent place just in white. I completely missed Kamigawa, but did they do any of the wacky Tsukumogami monsters like animated umbrellas and possessed sandals? It seems pretty obvious that they could have used them for artifact creatures.
