Gotcha. I'd think he'd still be manageable. Depending on how casual we're talking its a good way to teach saving mana for spot removal when playing against him, or teaching when to hold countermagic when playing as him. (Not teaching you obviously, again I wasn't sure the context of Casual you were referring to).

You could kind of tell he was pretty flustered for a lot of that match and was trying to play fast. In the gif you can also see him skip the scry on Read the Bones, which ain't exactly a high value "cheat". Forgetting he'd already made a land drop way back before doing a bunch of actions isn't that unbelievable.

Start looking at some numbers, kids
Yeah, well, I'm all about that discard and countermagic and yung pyromancer.
You can keep that card nobody plays.

Went 3-0 in a swiss event with UR tempo.
This was my second DTK draft, first on MTGO. Atark Efreet is easily one of the best commons, but I have a feeling that it will get worse once the player base becomes more familiar with the morphs in this set, as I've found a lot of Efreet's value comes from stealing wins from people who don't want to chump block it while face down.
Volcanic Vision was unreal the one time I actually cast it. I have high hopes for Profaner of the Dead, but I never had any good exploit targets for it in my deck.

That'll get you a ban.

Do they even do lifetime bans? Don't you have to like actually beat the shit out of another player to get that?

Does that mean he already had a starting hand prepared and just pretended to draw a starting hand?

Guy announcing this is getting 12 cases of MM2, and got 2 of MMA when that came out. (Which fits with the 4-8x printrun figures we've been hearing.) It's not a lot, but it's a lot more than the first one.
The single biggest factor in how much sets are opened is draft, followed by prerelease expectations. A shorter Standard stay shouldn't even rate on the list of factors.
This slang is new to me.
I really hope Magic Duels: Origins turns out to be a good product. This sort of problem can't happen in the digital format and I've been wanting a good Magic client for ages.

Its pretty comical how low I got my meaningless MTGO rating. I think my limited rating was in the 1490s and I had my constructed rating at like 1480 for a while playing ridiculous variants of Mardu aggro trying to tune a list that never came to fruition. The thing you have to realize is, that's like 10 straight sanctioned match losses in a row
. Its probably more on the whole when you consider a loss is wroth less and less point less as you go.
This would be a lot cheaper and easier if the tournament practice room wasn't total shit.

Oh god I want this so bad. I've been reduced to playing Hearthstone on my tablet.
Gotcha.
How does this even happen? Both getting away with taking seven cards from someplace else and t1 kill in standard.

The T1 deck being referenced was Amulet of Vigor at the last Modern PT (which has a very small % chance of T1ing).

It wasn't the PT (he would have gotten busted really fast there since its 300 rules lawyers in a room). It was just some GP.

God, Heroic is so damned good against Abzan. Virulent Plague lets me shut down tokens, but W Heroic is constantly killing me by turn 9.
I just cant help that Strength from the Fallen just melts away against Back to Nature. Guy didn't see any, so gotta pick your battles for sure, but my LGS seems like every other player has them..

I've literally never seen someone play that card.
Yeah well my LGS thinks Siege Rhino should be banned in modern and standard... I wish I had better options lol.
EDIT: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=82303 Huzzah! 2nd place deck at the last SCG Open has a copy! lol... Last week when I didn't have work somebody had an entire playset in his board. He said he didn't have better options for getting rid of jeskai ascendancy and frontier siege.

I won a game on a mulligan to 3 cards becuase my opponent boarded in a full set of Duress. Against my Dragons deck.

Would this card see any play?

Choose one or both:
- Add GGG to your mana pool.
- Put a 1/1 Saproling Token onto the battlefield.

Ojutai is a card I'm annoyed at because any idiot could see that it's super good for 5 mana. Except me, I guess. Definitely gonna be a huge thing when Stormbreath isn't crowding that spot.
My buddy Travis Allen didn't get it either. I was like "Oh, it's a way better Prognostic Sphinx!" - and I tried to make that card work for months last year.

It's a 5/4 flying with a conditional of the dumbest-good keyword. The anticipate ability is just more dumb on top.

I was just trying to see what Satyr Wayfinder would more or less look like as a spell.
Given that you're playing it with literal counterspell, it just needs to survive the first turn.
For MM1 there were 2 shipments, but the second shipment was ridiculously small. If I remember correctly our first shipment was like 5 or 6 cases and our second shipment was 2 boxes (boxes are 3 to a case).
I know the difference between cases and boxes. It's still too little but you're saying there will be more than one shipment?

I can't play anything but whip decks. I pretty much only play one standard deck a season.

Working on only my second DTK draft since the format came out on Magic Online. I see Citadel Siege is still a card. *barf*
EDIT: Went 2-1 in both of my two drafts today. I had a shitty RB aggro deck in the first draft (so I was happy enough with a 2-1), and actually a good BW aggro deck in the second draft (but got smashed by mana issues and Citadel Siege).
And holy crap - this format has 100x more removal than has become the norm. It's really interesting.

Yeah I just got stomped by a Whip deck. Fucking Den Protector man.
That and Sidisi are a beating. The Whip is almost excessive.

Beat up FNM at a new place tonight with Gw Devotion. Played nothing but aggro all night and one control player. At 11:30pm, all of top 8 agree to split except him. The lone control player. We all also have states in the morning. I pick up my first loss on the night to my round 1 opponent in the quarters and go home.
BUT! Someone opened a box there tonight and I traded for a Raptor, a Collected Company, and a foil Collected Company. So I have my temur deck all put together. Now it's a matter of if I want to play it in place of the Gw deck tomorrow or not.
The List:
4x Rattleclaw Mystic
4x Frost Walker
4x Heir of the Wilds
4x Goblin Rabblemaster
4x Savage Knuckleblade
3x Deathmist Raptor
3x Boon Satyr
4x Collected Company
2x Stubborn Denial
2x Crater's Claws
2x Atarka's Command
2x Temur Battle Rage
4x Frontier Bivouac
4x Yavamaya Coast
3x Wooded Foothills
2x Shivan Reef
2x Mana Confluence
3x Temple of Abandon
1x Temple of Mystery
1x Island
1x Mountain
2x Forest
(Yes, I know I need to cut a spell. I juuuust got 4 cards for the deck tonight.)
SB
3x Flamewake Phoenix
3x Fanatic of Xenagos
3x Lightning Strike
2x Stubborn Denial
2x Negate
2x Hornet Nest
Should I have any amount of confidence in this list against a large field?
