Whoo hoo! Silverheart is about to jump in price.

Haly, looking at your U/B spirits deck and I got to say, Honor of the Pure really isn't interchangeable with Intangible Virtue in that deck. All your stuff except your Captain and Monk are tokens! Vigilance! It's the new wave!

I love Phantasmal Image being in there just cause...lol. I've done that a couple of times to great success. Usually with Adaptive Automaton.
 
It's so dumb. Vapor Snag pretty much takes a dump on it in Standard.

Vapor Snag takes a dump on almost any creature, so fucking what.
You cast it again, they will not counter it because of the Cavern so you cast it and attack with the other one when you do.
It is NOT a bit fucking deal.
"Vapor snag oooooo" "Titan oooo"
4 Vapor snags out of 60 cards.
If they want to waste a snapcaster on a vapor snag, fantastic.

The danger of course is that you overcommit to an attack; Silverheart gets snagged and your soulbonded creature get swallowed by blockers.

And there goes Bonfire winning another match. I gotta say - I really liked Levy's deck better just for the awesome factor of resurrecting swarms upon swarms of dudes.
 
OK.. um.. here is my attempt back again to do a weenie(Human)/direct damage deck. Im still not familiar with the majority of the cards so most of these are from the latest set. Any help /pointers, even telling me to scrap the silly idea is fine:

Creatures
2x Champion of the Parish
3x Selfless Cathar
3x Avacyn's Pilgrim
3x Hamlet Captain
3x Kessig Malcontents
3x Somberwald Vigilante
3x Vexing Devil
2x Zealous Conscripts

Land
2x Rootbound Crag
2x Sunpetal Grove
3x Cavern of Souls
4x Plains
4x Mountain
4x Forest

Spells
3x Shock
2x Gather the Townsfolk
2x Divine Deflection
2x Bonfire of the Damned
3x Pillar of Flame
3x Thunderbolt
3x Thunderous Wrath

I used to play 4 colour back in the day(no black) but i used to have all dual lands and all the other fun stuff to help out the massive weenie influx. So an ideas/improvements would be appreciated. One thing im forseeing is running out of cards in my hand, which i had the newer wheel of fortune in.. but it was a hefty casting cost and doesnt mean it will always come up when i need it. So maybe i rather have something else that will give me the ability to pick up cards at a steady rate.

Vapor Snag = Time Walk, lose a life, get your guy blown out midcombat. You can also replace Snag with any reasonable removal spell.

That is why you never rely on one creature, especially with green or white.
You make them choose what to snag or go for the throat or whatever they are using, and still punish.
 
It's showing up a lot in Block. (But people don't understand that Block!=Standard and so it's going up in price today.)

Ya, people were telling me that they don't want to trade until after this tour to see how prices stick but it's not standard so it really shouldn't affect prices much at all.
 
Look at this poor guy with two swamps with a ton of creatures barreling down his throat.

I'm glad to see this shit happens to other people too >:(
 
Is it just me, or does the thought of drafting AVR/AVR/AVR not sound very exciting?

I know some people here have done it; I haven't yet, but it doesn't look to be terribly interesting. Maybe I'm wrong though (I hope I am).

I found it a lot of fun when I did it last week. I can definitely see how the set would look boring to draft though, I just know that everyone in my group had a good time.
 
What an asswhuppin'

Guess this "Finkel" guy is alright at MTG...

He's in the hall of fame!

What do people who think it looks boring make it look worse than the other sets like when it was innistrad/dark accension?
 
I really want this promo Killing Wave:

The Latch Seeker is cool, too.

A lot of it is fear of Miracles. The power level between the colors seems pretty lopsided too.

I could definitely be wrong. I won't get a chance to draft it until it hits MTGO, so I'll hold off on being too judgmental until then.

Dunno, I think the only weak color is black... R/W and G/B are both awesome combos and other things in between but those two I went 4-0 and 3-1 and were high ranking. Black is ok, if you have the rares to support it but is the only color I'm sad about using.

In an early incarnation of the deck I ran 4 Honor of the Pures and 4 Intangible Virtues.

I prefer Honor if for no other reason than to make my Drogskol shockproof but Intangible Virtue probably is better.

You could also go with Favorable Winds if you really wanted
 
I'm on MTGO so AVR isn't out yet.

Favorable Winds... Yeah, strictly better than Honor of the Pure, I don't even know why it exists.
 
I mean as a card effect.

+1/+1 to White for 2CC vs +1/+1 and Flying to all for 2CC.
 
Oh I misread that, lolz.

So not as good as Intangible Virtue or Honor of the Pure for a spirit deck.
