Speaking of stupid gimmick decks, I used to play bant allies when I started playing (it was around the middle of Scars block, but since Zendikar was just so much more interesting, I mostly just got cards from that block instead), and yesterday I saw this video and decided I am going to now build me 5 color Allies in commander! However, unlike McDarby, I plan on using Horde of Notions as a commander, since it, plus this thing:  Means I can cast all of my dead allies from my graveyard!

suicidesteve posted:I finally did it! I got kicked out of Commander. I went to casual Magic today determined to get people to stop bugging me to play Commander when I don't want to. I was definitely successful. Unless you follow that sentence with "You politely tell the people that you don't want to play Commander right now.", then you're an rear end in a top hat and should be ashamed of yourself. Oh hey, look at that!

Let's get something straight - you have to play Commander. As in, it's part of your job to do so. From what I see from suicidesteve's post, this doesn't seem to be the case with him.

Hmmmm, an rear end in a top hat-ish response to assholes rarely leads to anything good, either for you or anyone else. Either just keep refusing, or find a group that have at least some basic understanding of social interactions, and know that if someone says they don't feel like doing something, you shouldn't force them to.

Promoted Pawn posted:That this is in a thread about a trading card game is loving hilarious. That you seem to think that every single person who plays Magic in the world, even at FNM level, has a smart phone with a camera is equally loving hilarious. For example, I haven't had a phone with a camera on it until last year. I simply never needed one.

Madmarker posted:Further its an eternal format, so its likely that people will buy into it over time. This is just a minor nitpick, but Modern is not an eternal format. So far the only eternal formats are Vintage and Legacy. Modern is a non-rotation format, but it's not eternal. (Eternal means that card legality includes Magic card ever printed with the standard card back and a non-silver border.)

Sampatrick posted:All magic cards need to be Russian because it looks so great. Its really too bad that its really hard to find Russian cards compared to like Japanese. I love Russian cards, though not for the same reason most people seem to. I don't particularly think they look better than English ones, but since I'm from a Slavic country and I've studied Russian in high school, the Russian cars just have an extra humorous quality to them, in seeing how the Russians translated something. I mean, yeah - Duress is a fine card. Насилие though? That just makes me giggle.

Ah, Game Day. I managed to scrape together a MURDERGOATS list, except with none of the good removal in it (so I'm playing Lightning Strike and Magma Jet instead of Dreadbore and Hero's Downfall), and I can't wait to get to the store and see how well this will do. Some testing in the last few days shows it to be consistent enough.

So, Gameday. We had a rather small turn out than usual, only 11 people. (Not that we usually get more, but we tend to at least brake 20...). As such, 4 rounds of play, and no top 4 since nobody could be bothered. Round 1 vs Mono Green Devotion: 0-2. First game I never find any removal, get hit by 15/15 Tusker and that was that. Game 2, I misplay by Slaughter Games-ing his Nylea instead of casting Anger of the Gods to wipe his board, he proceeds to drop two pretty massive Reverant Hunters and I never draw a black removal. Round 2 vs Esper Control: 1-2. Game one he has no answer to Purphoros, due to a lack of blue mana. I proceed to goat him to death. Game 2 he casts Soul Ransome on my Tymaret, counters everything else I play and proceeds to beat me to death with him (for the most part). I never get more than 4 lands the entire game. Game 3, in comparison, I have something like 10+ mana in play, draw 3 tymarets and proceed to chump block his Gray Merchant until I draw a Dark Betrayal for it, he casts a Judge's Familiar and proceeds to very, very slowly kill me with it. Round 3 vs Mono black Devotion: 2-0. She has no way to answer a resolver Purphoros. First game is death by goats, second game is death by soldiers. Round 4 - I get a buy and end up 9th. MURDERGOATS was really fun to play with, even if my lack of good removal hurt me a lot (I had, all in all, 1 hero's downfall, 1 mizzium mortars, 2 anger and 2 drown in sorrow, and the rest I had to make due with lighting strikes, ultimate prices, dark betrayals and magma jets. And it showed)

As for Magic pronunciation - Since my first language is Bulgarian, which is phonetic and rather hard I find that more often than not, if you pronounce an obscure or made up Magic card name as if in Bulgarian you tend to get it right more often than not,

I like her, since she doesn't seem to feel the need to worship Jace as some absolute pinnacle of awesomeness, and treats him for what he is - a nerd who somehow managed to stumble into power. To be honest, the way she treats him makes me hate Jace himself a lot less.

A big flaming stink posted:Dark Depths shot up because the way it worked was fundamentally changed last summer from "casual jank" to "2 card kill condition" You mean it changed from 2 card kill condition to "a better 2 card kill condition". Sure, vampire hexmage is not as impressive as just needing another land, but it's still a viable combo piece with Dark Depths.

So I recall someone posted a really gimmicky RUG burn deck for standard here. The deck's "thing" was that you used Riddle of Lightning/Blast of Genius + Enter the Infinite for huge amounts of damage. Sadly I forgot to copy the list then, and now I can't find it, so does anyone mind posting it again?

They did the same nonsense with Heroes vs Monsters. I am starting to suspect they are not bothering with having strong themes in their dual decks and are just doing "A magic deck vs another magic deck, I guess." with this Speeds vs Cunning.

Kasonic posted:I've heard the format mentioned in a few posts here....can anyone describe what pauper Commander might play like? I just finished work on a peasant and another pauper cube, and I could totally see an interesting uncommon format, but common Commander just sounds a bit plain and slow. How interesting of a deck can you make? Well I guess it depends on how you want to play it? Our playgroup has decided on these rules: 1. Your commander must be an uncommon creature. 2. Your deck is 60 cards (not counting the commander), singleton, all commons. 3. Starting life totals are 30, commander damage is 16. 4. Invisible Stalker is banned, because gently caress you. In general 3 or 4 person games run quite fast. I have a Bellowing Tanglewurm and a Noxious Ghoul deck, and another guy plays a Fluxcharger deck with nothing but fliers and spells, and that thing stomps face pretty hard too.

Are we still sharing Conspiracy drafts? Drafter W/U flying stuff - No favorable winds, I'm afraid but I got an Edric which I splashed and I got 4 Courier Hawks + 3 conspiracies, giving them +1/+1 counters, haste and the ability to tutor even more. Did pretty good, though getting color screwed out of blue for most of the first game was really what got me.
