It's time for another AMA. Enjoy your opportunity, friends.

Femme_Fatale says... #2

AMA?

March 8, 2015 4:44 a.m.

Epochalyptik says... #3

Ask me anything.

March 8, 2015 4:59 a.m.

Epochalyptik says... #4

Although I guess "anything" is slightly disingenuous in this context. When asking through this venue, ask me anything contextually reasonable.

March 8, 2015 5:01 a.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #5

Aw, I can't ask you anything ...

I have no questions to ask.

Ryotenchi says... #6

The New Anafenza that I prob shouldnt be trying to jam into my hatebears is at 17$ already in some places... I hope that doesnt stick.. :( No way shes that good.

March 8, 2015 6:14 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #7

Nah she's not that good. She's not a hatebear though - she doesn't hate.

March 8, 2015 6:16 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #8

Epochalyptik - why is your name red? You hate red?

March 8, 2015 6:16 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #9

Is it like a warning sign.

Warning, warning, epoch is here.

March 8, 2015 6:17 a.m.

Ryotenchi says... #10

I think its the blood of many sacrificed goat tokens. o.o

I dont want to run her cause shes a hatebear for sure.. I just want to play with a cute combo... I mean my deck aint even finished, and my meta is small and full of good matchups I didnt expect. So...

That and I cant possible lose when my 16th card in my side board is a Storm Crow... Obviously booting something for FNM... Just for massive trolls when I vial it in... I did that proxy playtesting and the dude I was playing with said "Did that just happen?"...

March 8, 2015 6:22 a.m.

Ryotenchi says... #11

If only the troll face would look good on a storm crow...

March 8, 2015 6:24 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #12

Are you playing mono white or selesnya?

March 8, 2015 6:25 a.m.

Ryotenchi says... #13

Selesnya. I could never afford Legacy Death and taxes.. if I remember its list.

Still cant afford what abzan did to Wilt-Leaf Liege....

March 8, 2015 6:27 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #14

Wilt leaf liege isn't a hatebear. Really you just want to be running creatures that shuts down Abzan specifically, not just creatures that are quite large.

You might want Thalia, Guardian of Thraben to turn off their removal.

You might want Voice of Resurgence to force them to play at instant speed.

You might want Loxodon Smiter to make liliana useless.

You might want Leonin Arbiter to make fetchlands useless.

What you want to avoid is just throwing in large creatures for the sake of it. I suppose you could run 3x Wilt-Leaf Liege strictly as a finisher but I'd argue your creatures still won't be large enough to threaten the rhino. What I think you really need is perhaps 2 or 3 copies of that new card to slowly get bigger and bigger over time. I can't think of many selesnya cards that threaten a 4/5 for 4 mana.

March 8, 2015 6:33 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #15

Or run like 1 or 2 Oversoul of Dusk / Batterskull in your sideboard?

March 8, 2015 6:36 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #16

March 8, 2015 6:39 a.m.

Ryotenchi says... #17

I dont think I can link my deck here, Its got all those though.

I run a split between liege and Hero of Bladehold :P

I only kicked Gaddock Teeg(singleton... no Zeniths..) out and sideboarded a Qasali Pridemage for playing with Anafenza once I can get one.. Just to play it with Kitchen Finks... any actual legit event though, she really dont need to be in the official list.

I wouldnt even dare run the new anafenza vs abzan or rhino... o,O

March 8, 2015 6:40 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #18

Yeh thats a problem. You can't run something like that against a removal heavy deck.

March 8, 2015 6:41 a.m.

Ryotenchi says... #19

Mirran Crusader would be nice, Id feel better about running them if I had a singleton sword for em... otherwise its just asking to eat a bolt... Id rather run Spellskite..

..and Oversoul of Dusk/Batterskull would likely just eat up space as I dont tend to make more than 4 mana on a good game if I haven't been popping Ghost Quarters...

March 8, 2015 6:44 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #20

This is tech for Abzan I'm referring to. These wouldn't be Main.

March 8, 2015 6:45 a.m.

Ryotenchi says... #21

This meta aint GP though. Its a small mining community town.. Mostly budget decks... Siege Rhino still a thing here though...

March 8, 2015 6:45 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #22

Yeh so I'm saying - try to find a decent sideboard card to pull out against the rhino when you need it.

March 8, 2015 6:47 a.m.

Ryotenchi says... #23

I rather like my Celestial Purge and potentially Rest in Peace if I were to face an abzan list packing goyfs and tasigur...

March 8, 2015 6:48 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #24

Never, ever, ever run Rest in Peace against Abzan. 1) It doesn't actually stop the deck doing what it wants to do, and 2) It dies to Abrupt Decay which is a 3-4 of in the deck.

Celestial Purge is a great idea.

March 8, 2015 6:52 a.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #25

I mean it's not that bad, Skrinks all Goyfs and makes Tasigur harder to cast.

That being said I would only side it in if there was a card in my deck that was worse

March 8, 2015 7:02 a.m.

@ThisIsBullshit

Just finished moving. No real interwebs yet.

March 8, 2015 7:50 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #27

I tried to be nice by keeping the peace and got yelled at instead. Haha

March 8, 2015 9:32 a.m.

ChiefBell says... #28

I can't believe he said 'there's no rule against posting fake spoilers' ..... uh what?

March 8, 2015 9:44 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #29

Can't believe i was the one getting the wrath when i was specifically the one asking people but to pile

March 8, 2015 9:53 a.m.

What happened?

March 8, 2015 10:07 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #31

Cray crayness. It's over now. Epoch shut down the thread basically. Wouldn't post there if i were you :P

March 8, 2015 10:08 a.m.

That was quite the read lololol

Gotta love Epoch

March 8, 2015 10:19 a.m.

sigh I should learn by now that I can't sweet talk people into playing nice together. People don't do "reasonable", especially on the internet.

March 8, 2015 11:15 a.m.

Also, fuck Daylight Savings Time.

March 8, 2015 11:35 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #35

You people have corrupted me. I want to play that modern esper mentor list so hard

March 8, 2015 11:47 a.m.

elpokitolama says... #36

I'm so glad Esper is back... The one we can see in top 8 is freakin' brutal!

Femme_Fatale let's take it tier one, with mill and swords! :D

March 8, 2015 12:08 p.m.

It's working...

March 8, 2015 12:08 p.m.

Didgeridooda says... #38

What is daylight savings time? How do you save it? Is it like saving the pandas?

March 8, 2015 12:41 p.m.

Didgeridooda says... #39

That art on that fake card was very nice. I think making waves like that could get him the desired attention. It might be easier to try to make/find contact with current artists. Should provide much more information on how to get to that point. I am sure supply is higher then demand in that field.

March 8, 2015 12:53 p.m.

Didgeridooda, Daylight Savings Time is an infernal invention by somebody in the past who I absolutely despise because it fucks up my sleep schedule. link.

March 8, 2015 1:31 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #41

It was created so that kids could work on the farm during the school year. Summer vacation used to mean summer hard labor

March 8, 2015 1:34 p.m.

Didgeridooda says... #42

CanadianShinobi Nothing changed here :) No idea what ya'll are on about.

March 8, 2015 1:37 p.m.

Yes, well the majority of the world is sane.

March 8, 2015 1:40 p.m.

Didgeridooda says... #44

Is it?

March 8, 2015 1:42 p.m.

GoldGhost012 says... #45

Doubtful.

March 8, 2015 1:43 p.m.

elpokitolama says... #46

CanadianShinobi ah, my sweet summer (time) child...

March 8, 2015 2:14 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #47

I'm gonna make a plansewalker named Shuffles McMulligan

March 8, 2015 2:15 p.m.

elpokitolama I hate summer. I'm more of a winter person.

March 8, 2015 2:25 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #49
