I suppose I'll subscribe to this thread now, assuming it takes off the ground. Which it looks like its doing.
In other news, I just got out of class and heard the bad news. RIP Leonard Nimoy.

Oh my lord. Here's hoping this thread does just as well as the last.
February 27, 2015 2:53 p.m.
My favorite part of that is when he says they banned treasure cruise to stop people from playing blue in modern LMAO.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ABZAN MENACE RIGHT NOW!
February 27, 2015 2:55 p.m.
Lol yea. And it's true, MM2 is gonna be pretty irrelevant if they don't reprint Tarmogoyf. Who cares about Emrafool in modern, seriously. Sure it's nice for the legacy people who want to play SnT, but for modern? They coulda picked a much better face for the box.

Vendillion clique would have been good art for the cover
February 27, 2015 2:58 p.m.
That's exactly what I was thinking VampireArmy. It's getting expensive enough that it would be nice to see a reprint, and it's definitely an important in one of the two best decks in Modern right now (not that Wizards knew Twin would be the arguably best deck when they showed off big Em).

I've learned to hate Modern Masters. It does nothing but hype up modern and raise prices.

Abzan menace? Just play Sigarda, Host of Herons. I've actually been really successful against Abzan with my Bant blink deck. Worship and Sigarda, Host of Herons are a real pain for Abzan to deal with :D
Then there's Akroma, Angel of Fury.
February 27, 2015 3:08 p.m.
And then Abzan drops Wrath of God or Damnation and your back to square 1.
Sigarda, Host of Herons is Lili tech, That's pretty much it and alot of people said she was under powered at the GP.

I've also been trying out two different forms of Jeskai Twin. Since there are 3 infinite combos available in Jeskai twin, I used them all. One is a Blink combo variant that uses Akroma, Angel of Fury and the other is an Alesha tempo-control variant with Geist, Basilisk Collar and Leonin Shikari. They both work pretty well as they can combo out of nowhere.
February 27, 2015 3:16 p.m.
If you aren't combo-ing with twin, Then you aren't twinning right lol.
Eternal Witness is a great card for sure, But that means your next turn your casting it out just to fetch Sigarda or Akroma, Which is predictable.
Also, Scavenging Ooze is VERY relevant in the meta right now so Eternal Witness isn't as good or as safe as you think.
February 27, 2015 3:23 p.m.
Just pointing out things I noticed playing Gifts and such against the likes of Abzan.

I love me some etb effects but the problem is that just isnt relevant in the meta right now. I saw just a shit load of Restoration Angels ect in peoples binders and yes, Voss was there, if thats the case why did I have to go and buy Metamorph because no one had him in their trade binder.
Etb/blink is definitely one of my favorite strategies I used to run it in extended on mtgo all the time, and I always played abzan colors to get it done.
Problem is since that time better creatures have been printed that either hurt that strategy, go around that strategy, or flat out outclass that strategy that it isnt worth playing VIABLY.
Cockatrice is one thing. The tournament floor is a whole nother beast. The only thing I could compare it to is PokerStars vs live tournament poker. One is supposed to help you get better at the other, not vice versa.

Is the other one closing down? Is the the happening place now?
February 27, 2015 3:46 p.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #27
People are complaining about lag issues on the other one, though it's only a small handful of people (like 2).

Abzan blink is bad PreZchoICE1. You are missing out on Sower of Temptation, Mystic Snake, Vendilion Clique and Snapcaster Mage as powerful targets. The stuff in Abzan blink are better off as just plain spells. Like Shriekmaw for example: Why not just run Abrupt Decay/Maelstrom Pulse/Path to Exile? They all work far better than Shriekmaw/Nekrataal. Siege Rhino doesn't need to be blinked. You just drop it down and swing. Like, when I tried making Abzan blink I just thought to myself: "why am I doing this? Just make it Abzan midrange and it becomes so much better."
Admittedly, Jeskai blink seems to be working really well. I don't have to blink my Akroma, Angel of Fury. I can flip her. Eternal Witness can be replaced with Snapcaster Mage and Mystic Snake can be replaced with Cryptic Command. I still have access to Worship and Vendilion Clique and Sower of Temptation and Mangara of Corondor (which has been a beast for me so far). However I'm not too fond of the sideboard nor the aggro plan.

Oh got it.
I have had no such problems. Well when the gifs were posted multiple ones on a page there was a little slow down, but not much.
I am wondering how people see me as a non upgraded user. I have not been able to upgrade, but I do want to. Just wondering if everyone would prefer I did not post as much in the threads.
February 27, 2015 4:21 p.m.
Shriekmaw and Nekrataal were Pod targets weren't they?
Definitely wouldn't build a bink deck around them.
And Siege Rhino and Thragtusk are wicked targets to blink. Why the hell wouldn't you want to blink Rhino?!
I'm bowing out of this..I'm confused.

No one cares if you aren't upgraded. Didgeridooda

From the eyes of an upgraded user: Most nonupgraded users just get clumped into one identity: "the blue usernames".
From the eyes of a nonupgraded user: You are perfectly fine.
From the eyes of a Just Chatting member: Your opinions are welcomed and we appreciate your contribution. Doesn't matter what your name is, we give everyone equal treatment, attention and status~

"From the eyes of an upgraded user: Most nonupgraded users just get clumped into one identity: "the blue usernames"."
Speak for yourself.
It's that elitist attitude that makes Upgraded users look like dinks that don't respect other people and I'm totally not cool with that.
Didgeridooda Screw it man, Fight the power keep the blue.
February 27, 2015 4:33 p.m.
As the only person able to see my awesome font, I've learned to live with being "the dark blue username".
February 27, 2015 4:33 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #37
I just wanted to see what the opinions were from you guys. Not gonna try to fight the power though Caligula lol. On a side note, I might be the highest plain blue on the site. No idea who is ahead of me, just assuming that bit.
February 27, 2015 4:36 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #38
Chief, I will figure it out. Just gotta get sort some stuff out. Just wanted to make sure I was not overstepping in some way.
February 27, 2015 4:39 p.m.
I don't care whether people are upgraded or not but upgraded names are generally more eye catching.
But seriously, do you want me to upgrade you?
February 27, 2015 4:39 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #41
ChiefBell I appreciate the offer. I will get there, you don't need to do that. Thank you though.
February 27, 2015 4:43 p.m.

Holy cow, that is a nice take home for the day though. Very nicely done.

Someone should help me improve my font. I am not very computer savvy, so some help would be great. I'm kind of board of my plain old font
February 27, 2015 4:45 p.m.
Alrite, well just get back to me if you do want an upgrade.

CommanderOfBolas I just went on Microsoft Word and picked a font that looked cool.

Will do, thanks again.
Did you decide to go to that festival?

CommanderOfBolas you can also download fonts to put into Word. That's how I got my sweet ass Japanese style font. I can't do those swirly curvy things I see with people, but I can show you the code for text shadow if you want.
February 27, 2015 4:53 p.m.
This is what my font is supposed to look like, don't know if anyone else can actually see it. Had to download it from some random font website. And ignore the curser in the picture lol.
