The Lord of Hats posted:It feels like the Sultai decks we saw aren't doing anything powerful enough to warrant how slow they are. They really do need In Garruk's Wake or Empty the Pits or the like. Necropolis Fiend is good, but is it really any better than Polukranos, Stormbreath, or a walker suite? Or even Extinguish All Hope, though that won't affect opposing Coursers. I like the deck, though: they don't really care about singleton removal as long as it ends up in the graveyard to fuel something else later. And I agree: as soon as I heard about Todd's deck running 4x Fiend I unconsciously flinched.  EDIT: And wow, nice turnabout by the Jeskai Tempo player. Sitting at five life and attacked by a Mogis's Marauders bestowed with Spiteful Returned with a Hall of Champions in play, she drops to three from Returned's effect but used Deflecting Palm to deal 4 to her opponent and then followed up with Jeskai Charm for the kill. bhsman fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Sep 27, 2014 |

Mardu has been called Dega for a long time from my perspective, IMO, but Mardu feels like the least-awkward name to pronounce.mcmagic posted:I don't think 4 is right. You don't want more than 2, I don't think. I agree; 4 is waaaaay too much for how much it costs normally and considering its effect's cost. The Lord of Hats posted:Empty the Pits in an aggro deck It's great for grindy matches, though I'm not sure if this qualifies except for all those dead creatures he had; pity about Magma Spray.

Boco_T posted:Since I won through the lottery with my prize packs last night and got a foil Ashcloud Phoenix, I am hoping SCG shows Ashcloud Jeskai on camera all day and in the top 8. Please raise it up! It was on earlier and helped the Jeskai Tempo player win, so maybe? In comparison to almost everyone I know, I really liked it coming out.

Zorak posted:Jeskai Tempo looks sweet. Also funny in how it's playing none of the cards articles were harping on about. I'll officially eat crow on it; good cost for the abilities, but didn't think non-control Jeskai would be a thing so early. Sidisi is also much better than I'd thought.

I traded for my Rabblemasters when they were only $1-2 apiece and because I was considering rebuilding Murdergoats; I thought it wouldn't work in Aggro due to costing 3 and not having haste but welp. \ /

The March Hare posted:Has there been any word about reprints of the Zendikar fetches in the 2nd KTK block set? It seems like it might be weird having all 10 in standard at the same time, but maybe that's an unfounded fear. I think it's more likely that they'll save those reprinted for another set; why pass on the chance to make another set a big sell? Not that I'll complain if they do

Niton posted:In that sense, it's probably more likely for the third KTK set, both to reflect the changed future (Flooded Strand -> Steam Vents, Wooded Foothills -> Misty Rainforest, etc) and to get people to stop opening KTK and open the third set instead. Also possible, but I still think they won't do it within this set, and if they don't it likely won't be for another few.

I'm getting rid of a bunch of old cards that were just collecting dust, and turning them into useful Khans cards. Can you explain how it works? I'm still a little confused; are you just sending cards to people who want it, and that earns you cred until you can request a certain card? Or something???

Dungeon Ecology posted:A few things to note before you jump in -- it may take some time before you get the cards you want. It depends on whether you have the points to afford the card, whether that card is being offered by someone, and whether they're willing to ship to you. I've been offering stuff like Elesh Norn, Sylvan Library, and Karn Liberated in the trading thread to no avail, so so far it's been more of an issue of people actually having cards than me not having enough 'ammo' to secure one. Fair point, though.quote:Also, officially, Puca Trade only supports trades in Mint/Near Mint cards and only English cards (although I found lots of people who are OK with receiving non-English cards). That's also fine, I don't have much in the way of foreign cards anyway.

Pretty good night of Magic; went 4-1 for the second time in a row at FNM with Rabble Red (the first time I've ever done so well) and traded for another Fulminator Mage for Living End (for 3 total once mcmagic's letter comes in, hopefully). That Azorius Soul Blade deck looks pretty sweet; I might try to build it since it's not super-expensive other than the manabase.

Boco_T posted:In Non-Pro-Tour news, Tom Ross has been tweeting throughout the day from SCG States and it just culminated in "I'm Louisiana state champion!" His deck was "basically RabbleRed with Hordeling Outburst over Goblin Rabblemaster" which sounds super sweet to me considering my T4 in TCG States with Sligh. Probably means Rocket's will be throwin' a party this week to celebrate.

I really like Tom Ross's logic regarding replacing the Rabblemasters with Hordeling Outburst as a meta-call against decks heavy on individual removal, whereas Rabblemaster allows you to bait out the sweeper and then re-set fairly quickly. EDIT: The fact that Outburst turns Denizen into a 4/1 while triggering Swiftspear's Prowess is great, and following it up with Hall of Triump is great.
