Just make a limited game. There's no limits on that besides needing at least a forty card deck. I was able to make a table with a deck of 41 sol rings.

It didn't eat a post entirely, technically, it just doesn't show up at the bottom of the page at times until someone else makes a post.

Oy Sigma, got any dates or whatever planned for this?

Lancelot, I'll be around on IRC during evenings from Wednesday forward. If any time particularly suits you, just let me know.

I'm in the UK so I'm not sure what times overlap well — perhaps the weekend if that works?

Friday I should be available at 3:00 PM EST and Saturday all day. I can't say anything about Sunday at the moment since the person I'm supposed to be meeting that day can't seem to settle on a time.

Looks like Sigma got it wrong. It should be irc.synirc.net as the server and #mtgoon for room.

Also, Lancelot, as mentioned, I'm good for Friday and Saturday.

Is that everyone for round 1 or are we still missing people?

Surprisingly enough, green has poo poo all for a top end. There was like one worthwhile card and it got pushed out.

Also, odiv, what times are you available? I can only play on Cockatrice due to cards missing.

Basically I'm hoping that I correctly identified Vandalblast as the best card in the format and that nobody else did.

Four main board. :smug:

In all honesty, I'd say Sol Ring is the best card in the format because you need it for that overloaded Vandalblast and to do your own broken stuff as well as it being often priority number one to kill. Also, everyone has 4 Sol Rings so far.

I'm free after about 8pm pacific weekdays, so if you want to play earlier, we'll have to wait until the weekend. I'll download Cockatrice tonight and see if I can figure it out.

I'll post my deck this evening too, but it's Boros Robots. I had a deck similar to little munchkin's, but then I panicked because I had poo poo for removal and traded blue out for white. I lost Dack in the trade, so maybe it wasn't worth it. I also spent less time looking for synergistic artifact creatures, so I just have some dumb/obvious ones.

It'll probably have to wait until the weekend then since by 8PM Pacific, I have to be asleep. I should be open on Friday after 6:30PM EST, Saturday evening, and Sunday evening.

Enjoy a deck that almost certainly should contain golgari signets:

Deck: Reanimator Midrange

Cool, I was trying to figure out how to do golgari reanimator but couldn't figure out a good build and ended up on Grixis instead. I really like this deck, it has a lot of early game and grind potential.

Right, I guess I should post what I had made as well since a couple people were asking during my ramblings in mtgoon.

The kill condition for this deck was to drop Sylvan Safekeeper, Titania, and dump Anger in your graveyard. You would do that via ramping and killing all of your dudes into more gas via skullclamp. I think this definitely could have been a thing if I had more time to work on it, but as is, it kind of petered out too easily. I probably should have just gone for more land fetchers and dropped the number of actual win cons down by a lot.

Deck: Titania Combo

//Main
3 Titania, Protector of Argoth
3 Sylvan Safekeeper
4 Terramorphic Expanse
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Swords to Plowshares
3 Wrath of God
2 Sol Ring
4 Skullclamp
4 Faithless Looting
3 Vandalblast
7 Forest
3 Plains
3 Mountain
2 Anger
3 Veteran Explorer
2 Sakura-Tribe Elder
4 Viridian Emissary
2 Solemn Simulacrum

This deck exists purely because of Boros Charm and Lightning Helix. I went ahead and tried to put together the best burn deck I could, figuring a lot of people would be busy fumbling over themselves trying to do something cheat-y. However, upon review, I realized everyone and their grandma would probably be running robots and this deck would just fall over against that.

Deck: R/W Aggro

//Main
4 Goblin Cadets
2 Mother of Runes
4 Skullclamp
4 Cerodon Yearling
3 Torch Fiend
4 Boros Charm
4 Lightning Helix
3 Sulfuric Vortex
2 Reckless Charge
2 Fiery Confluence
4 Terramorphic Expanse
9 Mountain
7 Plains
3 Hissing Iguanar
3 Boros Swiftblade
2 Duergar Hedge-Mage

//Sideboard
2 Hallowed Spiritkeeper
2 Goblin Bombardment
2 Act of Aggression
2 Containment Priest

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.

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.

Oh right. Well, I'll concede to IBMS if he remembers to show up in the topic. Otherwise, up to Sigma, I suppose.
