OMG... Can you guys please put your DCI dicks away?? Unless you have loads of beta Duals or an alpha lotus sitting around the date you started playing is irrelevant.

My BWu pool built itself, I went 4-1 bouncing the black trial with a bunch of U and W cartouches and tapping things with the "when a zombie etbs tap something" mummy. Only lost to a guy who played Lilliana on curve twise.

TwistedNails posted:The best inner sleeve is the side loading one from ultimate guard. I used perfect fit for a long time and a friend bought the side loading sleeves and they make double sleeving so much easier it's amazing. Yes but now your cards have worse protection. There is a hole in the corner. I can confirm the new ultra pros are ace and double sleeve great.

Smashed a standard event yesterday (prep for an invitational next weekend) with Constrictor. GB Constrictor: Invitational deck 2017 AMK Maindeck (60) 4 Walking Ballista 4 Gifted Aetherborn 4 Winding Constrictor 2 Rhonas the Indomitable 3 Rishkar, Peema Renegade 3 Tireless Tracker 1 Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet 3 Verdurous Gearhulk 2 Blossoming Defense 4 Fatal Push 4 Grasp of Darkness 1 Skysovereign, Consul Flagship 4 Blooming Marsh 2 Evolving Wilds 6 Forest 4 Hissing Quagmire 9 Swamp Sideboard (15) 3 Scrapheap Scrounger 2 Gonti, Lord of Luxury 1 Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet 1 Liliana, Death's Majesty 1 Ob Nixilis Reignited 2 Scarab Feast 2 Never 2 Lifecrafter's Bestiary 1 Skysovereign, Consul Flagship The aetherbourns are a consession to Cut // ribbons and worked like a charm essentially negating the aftermath side of the card. I had an 80%+ win rate only dropping games to the mirror (energy version) in very close games and one to the UB control nut draw. Beat; Humans, Zombies twise (scarab feast Mardu Veh, and UB.

Quality article from Brad Nelson http://www.starcitygames.com/article/35053_Dont-Play-Their-Game.html (not engaging in "paywall/decklists to sell cards" etc, etc .. we all know) Maybe I am slow or this just impressed me as I am working on this exact problem for Saturday, but I thought it was a good article.

I came 7th this weekend at the Patriot games invitational. Threw a couple of matches due to brain fategue and had a blast. 4 round sealed: built WB agro with Dusk//Dawn and loads of removal. 2-2 after stupidly loosing a match I should have won. 4 round standard: took GB agro. 3-1 lost to UR control and was simply outplayed. 4 round modern : took Boros Burn to 3-1 lost to infect (same guy who beat me in the standard portion) 3 round draft: built the most badassed drake/second sun deck but went 1-2 due to missplays and fategue. This deck should have gone 3-0 to be in contention for a win on breakers. Awesome weekend, too much magic... need a break now.

Xaerael posted:The number of people with a fundamental misunderstanding about how the game works seems to be on a major uptick. I have seen this locally due to our shop being very proactive at increasing numbers attending through running a number of casual weekend and bank holiday events. This has increased the numbers coming to FNM. It's all good, we all transitioned from whatever casual tabletop/DOTP starting point at one time.... Unless you were 'birthing podded' into life with perfect rules enforcement level skills. Due to my GB constrictor decklist I am having a lot of the trample/deathtouch/indestructability interaction confusion happening across the table..

So predictions for pro-tour top 8 decks? I'm going with UR control. If you haven't had the memo yet Kefnet is brutal. Also commit is outstanding at dealing with resolved threat you didn't counter. Many will try jeskai but bouncing a cast out on a gearhulk is sickening. Something like this. UR Control: Maindeck (60) 1 Kefnet the Mindful 4 Torrential Gearhulk 3 Magma Spray 3 Censor 3 Essence Scatter 3 Harnessed Lightning 3 Negate 1 Pull from Tomorrow 3 Disallow 1 Sweltering Suns 3 Void Shatter 2 Commit 4 Glimmer of Genius 4 Aether Hub 9 Island 5 Mountain 4 Spirebluff Canal 4 Wandering Fumarole Sideboard (15) 1 Dragonmaster Outcast 3 Glorybringer 2 Sphinx of the Final Word 2 Dispel 1 Magma Spray 1 Essence Scatter 1 Negate 1 Sweltering Suns 1 Aether Meltdown 2 As Foretold

Fingers McLongDong posted:Yep, the eclipses are great. I bought 2 packs after the TCC video and they're great and double sleeve as easily as KMC. You can also find them online for $6 per 80-count pack, so there's no reason to get KMC hyper mattes anymore since their quality dropped. Their longevity is poor though.. they are a magnet for grime and sweaty pizza hand dirt. I love the feel at the start but they turn to clouded sand paper pretty quick. I'm sticking with dragon shield matt for now.

Dehtraen posted:UR has no way to deal with a resolved Ulamog, it's a good answer for bouncing a nonland permanent and then countering it when recast, or a pseudo counter for a spell that can't be countered (less relevant) I am running 2 main board, it is an awesome backup counter/removal. The tempo loss your opponent experiences is great... Don't forget to use it in response to an evolving wilds crack too.

DangerDongs posted:I'm looking at the Temur Tower list that are popping up, and they run 2 Pull From Tomorrow. I'm wondering if a split between Kefnet and that would be any good. I don't run Temur I am straight UR. Tower is too slow now and pinging a recurring zombie once a turn isn't winning anything for you. When you are off tower it's pointless running green. I only have one Pull due to the tension with Gearhulk, if the game goes super long I'm gonna shuffle it back in using Memory on their end step anyway. I could see a Temur control deck with a transformative SB into the Temur agro deck working... or God forbid.. an aether works deck.

DangerDongs posted:How are you dealing with some of these G/B decks siding in 4 transgress and 2 Dispossess? Do you side out some or all of your hulks? Transgress is what it is you just have to draw cards through it. For dispossess I am diversifying threats by adding in 2x glorybringer and 2x big chandra. I don't usually take out any gearhulks if I can get away with it but I have no issue with shaving one if for some reason I feel it's better than takeing out something else. Dispossessed is counterable so I don't often get all my gearhulks taken unless I mess up.

vandalism posted:How do you like UR control? I just picked up most of the cards for it, but haven't been able to test. Waiting on 2 gearhulks. I'm loving it.. real draw/pass control. Just make sure you have diverse threats in the sb as people are crazy for dispossess at the moment and beating someone to death with a Fumarole is a bit time consuming, better to use Glorybringer or big chandra.

I thought I was missing something with the Jund DS deck as I couldn't understand why people were playing it over the Grixis version. Seems people have caught up now. It should make the Birmingham GP interesting in August as it is deceptively hard to play and easy to beat if your opponent does not known how to play it. I guess I'll be taking burn

Alris posted:How does NuConsipracy compare to Conspiracy Classic? I'm considering grabbing one or the other purely to draft with friends. It's fine. I do prefer the first as the draft matter cards were more fun and some of the bombs very "draft around" and games felt very swingy Conspiracy 2s focus was on the cards that added abilities to named cards. So if you grab a load of those you power up your poo poo creatures. It is easy to draft this terribly first time and have a crap deck but it is still fun. C1 > C2 IMO but I won't fight about it. they are both good enough and relatively cheap for a fun evening of 8 man magic.

always be closing posted:Before I buy another one does anyone have other suggestions? I think I prefer the shoulder strap over a backpack. Also a less floppy bag would be nice. I use a Timbuk2 Classic Messenger bag. It can take 2 Ultimate Guard Archives, a binder, mat and everything else I need. Or at GPs a deck box and 10 hours worth of food. I would have never paid as much for a bag but it was a gift. If it ever breaks now (unlikely it's very well made) I'll immediately buy another. It's also not floppy
