Chamale posted:Someone polled a bunch of pros what the best first pick for a rotisserie draft of all of Magic would be. Sol Ring was first, followed by Black Lotus and Ancestral Recall. A couple of the early decks I threw together in this format were general goodstuff decks that were almost completely full of cheap, multicolor value creatures (1 or fewer generic mana in the casting cost), and it was still right to just run 4x sol ring (admittedly the signets make that a much more supportable thing).

Despite the fog and mist, I beat muon 2-0 in a grueling display of giving myself arthritis by clicking.

2-0 in favor of Odiv. Man, gently caress Goblin Welder. Granted, both of those games I could have played a ton better. Game 1 I decided to keep a hand of four Vandalblasts only to realize that Wurmcoil laughs at that. Never drew into any reanimator targets to pitch. Game 2 I had a reasonable hand but no Vandalblasts and as such got steamrolled. Then Goblin Welders just made a total fool of me. Probably the right play Game 1 would have been to mulligan. Game 2 would have been to keep Overseer of the Damned instead of my own Wurmcoil Engines and used that to kill both the Welders and Daretti before working on the wurms. Ramos fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Dec 13, 2015 |

Yeah, the Vandalblasts weren't as bad as I was expecting, but I think I just got lucky in having Daretti or a Welder out at the right time and then also drawing my Darksteel Citadels so my mana wasn't completely demolished. Also drawing the 1 sb Crypt early was pretty lucky, but it wasn't clear to me if you had any reanimate or not. Probably should have used it earlier to prevent you flashing back a Looting, but that's a tough call.

I did and I was trying to jockey for a position to reanimate that last Wurmcoil you had so you couldn't abuse that so much. But you know, Goblin Welders.

I can't loving read. We're still waiting on the steve/elyv game though, right? Hurry it up guys or I'm letting Steve take the win because he posted last. e: also go to bed it's 4:30am in california there is no reason for you to be awake at this time unless you're in a country where they don't speak english or spell color with superfluous 'u's

Hurry it up guys or I'm letting Steve take the win because he posted last. tbh the extra 'u's thing is a sort of identity crisis, because on one hand getting rid of them just makes so much sense and is one of america's greatest contributions to the world, but on the other hand everybody around me uses them like some weird patriotic gesture so I kind of get used to it and start inserting them automatically.

I'm giving Elyv the loss and moving onto the next round. We'd have a bye if I dropped him so I'm keeping him in the round for the moment, he's in the 0-2 bracket anyways. ROUND THREE PAIRINGS: RAMOS vs SUICIDESTEVE DEFEATEST ELITIST vs IRONY BE MY SHIELD LITTLE MUNCHKIN vs OLOTHREUTES MUON vs CHAMALE PUSSY SNORKEL vs ODIV SIGMA-X vs ELYV we'll run this round until eod next tuesday the 22nd or until everyone except ELYV has checked in, at which point we'll drop him from the tournament.

If we need to extend the round time we can, but with next week being christmas I'd rather try to cram a round in this week and have the 4th round run two weeks to account for holidays / travel / etc.

All right, Pussy Snorkel. I've had an annoying week with no time at night, but I should be free sometime this weekend. I'll probably be free late tonight (11pm Eastern and later). Or would sometime Saturday/Sunday work?

Yep, 0-2 for me. Drew a Vandalblast to hold him off for a turn, but yeah, land after land really hurts in a format as fast as this. Where was my faithless looting? Or Daretti? Starting to think I shouldn't have swapped blue out for white because then I'd have thirst at least. Then again, I didn't really draw that much removal either. Ah well, ggs! I'm enjoying these weird decks.

I beat Little Munchkin 2-1, he timed out staring down a lethal TNN. Game one he played the goblin welder value plan, destroyed me. Games two and three I draw a lot more removal and things go my way. Game three he drew probably 30 cards just to find a single vandalblast.
