Maybe this post belongs in the main MTG thread, but I don't read that one. While watching VSL they were talking about the risk of running "off color" moxes in eldrazi decks. Wizards swears that eldrazi mana is not a 6th a color, but when you start weighing the costs of off color moxen it absolutely is. After seeing these eldrazi decks play out for a while, they definitely do run into mana problems, they do get blown out by bloodmoon. It functionally plays exactly as a 6th color would. So wizards line about it not being a 6th color is BS.

Elyv posted:I really hate the Eldrazi white manabase, it looks absolutely awful. They usually run 6 plains/karakas, 1 mox pearl, 1 black lotus, and 4 cavern for white sources with often 3+ creatures with nonoverlapping creature types(some combination of Thalia, Wingmare, Displacer, Stoneforge) and then they have cards like Rest in Peace or Disenchant in their sideboard and somehow they expect to cast all these spells. If I was playing that deck the first thing I would go would be cut 3 moxen/caverns/cities for 3 white sources. They can be plains, they can be Brushlands (if you're worried about colorless sources), they can be something else entirely, I don't care. I just don't understand how anyone can look at that manabase and go "hmm, yes, this is correct".

If you guys missed the finals of GP Prague, its worth watching. Link to Game 3 here Its miracles vs Storm Miracles player is holding force, force, flusterstorm, flusterstorm, surgical extraction, snap caster, blue card, and has a top in play. Storm player manages to win.

Faeries was my deck, looks like its time to load up mtgo again.C-Euro posted:I'm not doing poo poo in Pauper but I really should because my store does a Pauper FNM once a month and it's a fuckload cheaper to get into than everything else. I'm halfway to an Izzet Blitz deck except people are telling me it's bad? I also have a bunch of Pauper-eligible Goblins and could maybe come up with a list that uses them but I've been too lazy.

AgentSythe posted:so does anyone in here watch Rich Shay stream, or the VSL? I'm putting together Landstill independently, but he's been doing well with a version that has New Emrakul in it. I'm curious if anyone has seen how those games play out, and if that card is better than a consecrated sphinx or any of the other big blue finishers. it seems really bad without having watched the games, and really hard to cast without an academy+requisite artifact count.

It was a staple for a time, but so was kheldon mauraders. Too many other options outclass it these days, and the whole format has gotten faster along with having sources of life gain like deathrite shaman. Going long doesn't fit into burns plan anymore.

I always hated shusher vs miracles. They almost always leave in path and maybe terminus in since burn is so creature heavy now.

ETM had a controversial judge ruling on a chalice. Player a casts chalice on 1. Player a casts pithing needle. It resolves. Passes turn to player b. Player b untaps and notices the missed the chalice trigger. The judge ruled the pithing needle stays in play. Current procedure dictates that a missed trigger gets added to the stack at the moment it was missed. In this case, the missed chalice trigger goes on the stack, but pithing needle is already in play and therefore there is nothing to counter. I agree that it was handled by the book, but It seems like everyone agrees that re-winding in this specific case would have been a much better solution. I wonder if we could add a little discretion for these situations. Perhaps allowing the game state to be re-wound if both players and the judge agree to do it. Of course this opens up the possibility for player a to rule scum his opponent and not allow the re-wind. It jus seems impossible to have a ruleset that will always find the correct option, so I feel there should be some avenue to customize the option for the specific setting.

Intentionally playing into your own chalice is cheating in a way that playing into an opponent's is not. The guy just brain farted though, he wanted to play needle and chalice that turn, then decided to play chalice first to play around daze. The next turn with the warping wail seems an honest mistake too. How often does your chalice on 1 get proliferated? Both players were probably still tilting from the lengthy judge ruling. He was a good sport about it, sac'ing the token.

The guy that played into his chalice did get a GRV, and a second when he did it again. The controversy was just over allowing the needle to stay in play instead of rewinding. It also ended up being completely irrelevant to that game. The judge was also saying they are trying to address all missed triggers in the same manner, giving the opponent the option of putting them on the stack as soon as they are noticed. They are trying to get away from distinguishing from beneficial and negative because with cards like Bob it's unclear. Chalice just happens to be an edge case where this resolution does nothing. I get the judges reasoning, but there still has to be a better way. Newer cards are templated to avoid things like that, I'd be curious about doing some errata to fix it. eSporks fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Oct 31, 2016 |

The players were good sports in both rulings too. The judge advice guy admitted he wouldn't have seen the line without the judge saying anything and just decided to get an instant an instead. He even scooped to rich after turns since it was clear rich would win, and the main reason they went to time was his inexperienced sloppy play. No one should ever be forced to concede in that situation but it's still very respectful to do so.

Printing Paradoxical Outcome was a mistake, the deck is just way too good. I think Wizards needs to ban or restrict Gleemox to keep it in check. https://clips.twitch.tv/richshay/StrangeTigerBibleThump

PhyrexianLibrarian posted:I have a theory that people who play Modern gravitate to whatever their first formative Standard deck was. That's my only explanation for why I want to play that deck, INN/RTR was just after when I got back into the game, and Sphinx's Revelation/Nephalia Drownyard control was my weapon of choice. I am also convinced to this day that Runeflare trap was the best deck in ALA/ZEN standard. It has exceptional winrates vs Jund and U/W control. It was just a massive dog to vampires and RDW.

It's not even close to what you want, but maybe look at Jaco drazi? It's got discard like disruption in thought knot seer, and undercoated aggro rush creatures.

Gnumonic posted:I'm not gonna piss and moan about it, but Doomsday was the only thing keeping me playing MTG, and after having every. single. modern deck I thought was kind of neat end up banned, I think WoTC and I just have different ideas of fun. Time to part ways. PhyrexianLibrarian posted:Well for starters, Doomsday seems like exactly the kind of deck that doesn't rely on a single card to operate, so I'm sure you'll be fine if you stick with it. Gnumonic posted:Legacy Doomsday requires SDT to function. I'm saying that as someone who has played the deck thousands of times online and goldfished it for hundreds of hours in person. The Stormboards is basically in farewell/reminiscence mode at the moment, and if those guys are giving up then you can be sure the deck is dead. On the bright side, its worst match-up is gone and you don't need green for abrupt decay any more.

Have a good hand, cast this thing and crack an LED in response you discard your hand, get the mana, get everything back, play Doomsday and make the stack with cards in hand. Some people are trying out three wishes as way to cast things off LED.

Cactrot posted:Gitaxian probe is a very skill testing interactive card. I don't disagree with the sentiment; however casting git probe later is a real option that not enough people take. Playing GP properly in doomsday was also really tricky since it was an important combo piece on top of being info.
