During what I consider my most skill testing victory, casting things into chalice to get young pyromancer triggers won the game.

AlternateNu posted:I had a veteran player at my LGS pass me a Tasigur during our first Fate Reforged draft. When I asked him why, he said the card was poo poo. Then, he got mad with it jumped to $12 the next week. Some things just aren't obvious to some people without the meta evidence to show them whether a card is "good" or not.

Mono blue delver sounds terrible. I do grixis and if you know what decks you are going to see it's a great troll card. I'm ok with the slot because Dack Fayden is on artifact duty. A resolved and protected batterskull is almost unbeatable and there are a ton of sfm decks. You want like 10 cards that gently caress them up. I preboard 2 pyroblasts so switching them out for something dumb and situational is the way to go.

Yea. I run 2 quarters in tron to protect against sowing salt and poo poo like that. I also have crucible of worlds, so it can be a soft lock against some decks.

Good point. I usually beat the hell out of people who don't have their quarters in the mirror and dropping one first is really good too. It ties in to the fact that the one skill you need to play tron is bluffing and faking out which tron pieces you have to make your opponent waste their chances. I usually drop tower last, and keep redundant pieces in my hand until I need them. This makes people think that you have the luckiest draws in the world, but it wins games.

Absolutely. 3 cmc is bonkers for any cascade deck. He plays nice with SSG too. I will be casting restore balances off this guy for days.

Well right or wrong, that's how you avoid the problem and almost everyone under utilizes their judges as if calling a sidebar with a judge makes them a lesser player. It is a very good skill to develop and will win you games I promise.

Fingers McLongDong posted:Really sucks for me because it probably means no more legacy at all at my local shop. We had 75 card proxy every Thursday that gave out card prizes and it was only possible because of proxies being allowed. Same. No more legacy in the entire city now as far as I know, and no modern at my favorite shop. Great job! It's also hilarious how they weasel word it to look like making proxies is illegal by US law. No, writing force of will in sharpie on an island is not a crime. Babylon Astronaut fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Jan 12, 2016 |

Yea. Main decking a ghost quarter or two has helped me both slow down greedy mana bases, and quarter my own poo poo in response to land death. The cool thing is now I can take out my spellskites and try out thought-knot seers because twin is gone. Stony silence is ok hate I guess, but it's not as good as people think it is and blood moon is a dead draw against me as far as I'm concerned.

BJPaskoff posted:Oh, yeah. I can see a TO doing this and not thinking about anything other than, "Well these five guys will just leave the store and not spend any money if I don't force a tournament to start." At my LGS, if we get five or six people sign up and no tournament starts, there's a good chance they'll all leave out of frustration. Our WPN status is too important to risk pulling any bullshit though.

I wish they would do either a set that is entirely for reprinting cards or a set for drafting that happens to have chase rares instead of getting premium fancy packs that contain garbage that no one wants because you can also draft with them.

kizudarake posted:You can still get conspiracy at 94 bucks a box. I'm getting them for 89.99 and loving every minute of it. It's my favorite set I can remember and the print run is never ending. Something like conspiracy is what I was alluding to with the second example. Otherwise, just print from the vault: booster packs for 20 dollars a pop and not worry about having a balanced draft environment.

Hell, I split top 4 in a 6 person modern tourney and won an Ugin and a Bloodstained Mire from picking fate for my prize packs. You should totally win packs and open them. That is the best way to build a deck.

Cactrot posted:UW fliers with all the favorable winds, doomed travellers and intangible virtues I could pick was the most fun deck. Sorry you never got to draft orzhov voting. That's the most fun deck. U/W fliers is a good one, but one Vow of Duty and it beats you, usually without you even realizing it. It's like in multiplayer commander when you reach the point where everyone knows who the presumptive winner will be, but dick around trying to keep the others from comboing off. What you do is encourage infighting and absusing the tendancy to vote for whatever screws over the guy winning. You can use the same haymakers from the flying deck too, it is a ridiculous color combo. We drafted enough Conspiracy to enact and abide by a no durdle rule that helps the format immensely, so politics were very powerful. It helps that if someone plays the usual 40 cards there is a good chance they will deck out if they don't do something with the strong card draw in the format.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:I think it's too much with Crucible since it's giving something very close to strip mine loops to Modern and Legacy. Against many modern mana bases, ghost quarter is a strip mine after you recur it a couple times. It's good enough to make a bad rear end gifts pile.

Eschatos posted:What's a good way to learn the advanced rules of Magic? This weekend I'm going to a prerelease and playing for the first time since original Zendikar. I get all the basic stuff like the idea of how the stack works, but when it comes to more obscure rules interactions that could plausibly show up I'm lost. Reading through 200 pages of comprehensive rules from WOTC is something I'd prefer not to have to do.

Utility: Counterspell. UU gently caress you is just so ingrained that two untapped islands is one of the scariest boards in magic. Flavor: Summoning Trap. The portcullis opens and the beast emerges, come on, that rules. You really feel like a dungeon master when someone counters your birds of paradise and emrakul emerges.
