ThePeavstenator posted:

It's more that Saheeli decks are made up of pieces of other decks. You've got energy creators for Aetherworks marvel, you might play a few Gearhulks, and then you have the more controlling cards to draw the game out. If the cat got banned, Saheeli players would have a decent start on other decks in the format.

e:


Standard is like a pool filled with turds right now. Some of us would like to go swimming again at some point and telling us to just swim around them instead of whining that they aren't getting cleaned out doesn't change the fact that there are turds in the pool.

You're whining about a deck that is beatable. There is more to standard than Vehicles, Temur Tower and 4C Saheeli.......and those decks can beat these 3.

The whining is unmerited really, that's all.

Is there anything other than Pithing needle and uncounterable removal that can deal with Modern Ad Nauseum in mono red? Because I'm at a loss how to deal with this poo poo without counterspells or hand disruption.

Specifically 8 whack.

The problem is your playing a goofy SaffronOlive that only works online in queues where he matches up against random people.

He never actually plays any of those against the odds or budget magic decks in tournament rooms.

People bring his standard/modern decks all the time to FNM and wonder why they don't work like they do in his videos

Mr.Turbofog is right, you have to bring a deck that is tested in the meta to have a chance. Take your funhaving, nonsense budget deck somewhere else.

It wasn't intended to be a slam but it's pretty true. I was speaking more to the point of people that bring his decks to events and wonder why they don't do well against many of the "known decks"

Sorry to have misconstrued that, I even tried his one Modern UW Draw/Mill deck from like last summer but the second someone drops a chalice on 1 you lose and there is no way around it so it was pointless to keep playing it

ShaneB posted:

Best advice.

I'm not gonna tell someone to buy some boxes and make decks from the cards they open. I'm not sure how else people end up making fun decks starting from zero.

So you'd rather have new players be boring and unoriginal and miss out on cards they might end up loving and enjoy playing because someone pointed them to buy a tournament winning deck that 900 other people also play?

Feel bad man if you're jamming casual with friends. If someone ever wants to get serious about actual PTQ's and poo poo then I'd point them to all the dumb "netdecks" once they get a foothold in how the game actually works

TheChirurgeon posted:

Some advice for beginners when it comes to building casual decks and building a collection:
- Beginners always overvalue life gain. Gaining life is usually not that important in most games, so don't waste your time with cards where all they do is gain life

Haha, this was my first pitfall of the game.

Hi friends!

I've played magic off and on over the years, recently getting back into it during Fate Reforged era, so I've got a couple of thousand cards from that time frame.

Recently my 12 year old has picked the game up and his birthday is coming up and I'd like to buy him a booster box, but I have no idea which one to get. The deck we bought him was one of those pre-mades Red/White with Chandra Pyrogenius and a bunch of artifact vehicles, but I'm not sure what expansion that is.

Suggestions?

edit: I realize buying singles is better etc, but I think opening a bunch of boosters is a more fun birthday present.

Also, people in the SA-Mart thread sometimes sell a shitload of bulk cards (not so sure about bulk or less than bulk rares) at a very reasonable price.

I'm sure someone here could help you out with that. You could get a bunch of cards sorted by color, sift through and see what you find enjoyable and make a bunch of 60 card casual decks.

I'm curious about this - I was planning to replace Repel the Abominable with it in my build, since Repel is pretty bad against the various humans in Mardu Vehicles as well as the random humans (Rogue Refiner) in 4C Copycat.

Have you tested Approach of the Second Sun in the deck? It might be too slow/clunky, but if there's a deck that can use it turbofog is probably it.

I was actually planning to keep Repel and get rid of Encircling Fissure

Repel is 2 mana and is so great again Pummeler which is popular in my meta (probably will be even more so with Fling now)

Pollen at 2 mana is just a better Fog than Fissure over all. Plus the Cycling. I wouldn't mess with AoSS right now at this point personally
