One more thing:

Do any of you have any idea how horrible it is to trade 3-for-1 for one Lingering Souls?

I managed to win that one, though. Remand is strong.

Vampire Army you should try play Mardu Twin, Village Bell-Ringer, Restoration Angel and Kiki.

Unburial Rites because why not.

Then just removal and shiz.

I know that pain, That card is da nuts.

I am liking the black splash Jonathan Sukenik and JexInfinite have been playing.

Totes will whip that up for you. The obvious issue being lack of dig and lack of counters but it can be fun. I will not disappoint

Also no spaces in my name

I am more than happy to Remand that one :)

I actually prefer Stormbreath.

Can't kill that easily.

March 10, 2015 8:38 p.m.

CanadianShinobi loving the funny TO comments.

March 10, 2015 8:43 p.m.

Thanks. There's just too much good stuff for fluffybunnypants to cover and sometimes I find things incredibly funny that don't meet his standard. His scotch drinking must make him a classier fellow than myself.

The Venom one was especially amusing.

March 10, 2015 8:49 p.m.

Someone give me something to brew. I might choose to brew something else.

March 10, 2015 8:51 p.m.

I dunno... brew a dragon deck. Dragons are cool.

Do something for the post Jex made a while ago.

March 10, 2015 8:55 p.m.

Oh yeah. Gotta put up ScapeTwin.

March 10, 2015 8:55 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #19

Aw what happened to the eternal Dragon combo agent?

March 10, 2015 8:58 p.m.

Oh I built it. I hated it.

March 10, 2015 8:58 p.m.

What's the eternal dragon combo?

March 10, 2015 9:01 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #22

Ahahahahahahaha. No one likes it. Like...no one

It's like ad nauseam but worse

March 10, 2015 9:02 p.m.

There's nothing worse. Now divulge the secret.

March 10, 2015 9:03 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #24

It's a combo centered Around

Enduring Ideal To fetch out Form of the Dragon and Phyrexian Unlife from there you just get a bunch of enchants to lock the opponent

March 10, 2015 9:07 p.m.

Dovescape too.

I tried everything. All-out combo shell, control shell, Lingering Souls, everything.

The deck freaking SUCKS.

On the other hand, this might not. Jex's build is here.

March 10, 2015 9:08 p.m.

That sounds mildly hilarious

March 10, 2015 9:10 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #27

You haven't tried the mono white devotion version have you

March 10, 2015 9:11 p.m.

That's stupid. It's below my dignity. Never, in a million years...

Yes I tried it.

You must be bad at blueless control den :3

Hey, can I get people's thoughts on Vendilion Clique in modern. Namely for this deck:

Hextech Ghostblade

I'm considering it for sidebaord but it feels a bit weird, as in it should be mainboard or bust. I'd be interested in people's thoughts.

March 10, 2015 9:27 p.m.

I like it maindeck in a Geist build. You want pressure.

March 10, 2015 9:29 p.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #32

Vclique holds a sword quite well, So do Lingering Souls should you go that route.

March 10, 2015 9:31 p.m.

enpc says... #33

I definately like the fact that it has flash. I've EoT had them played against me and they really are good at pulling a counterspell. I'm not entirely sure what I would swap out for it, probably a Lightning Helix (two mainboard should be enough I think).

I'm not entirely sold on Lingering Souls. I like the idea in theory, but splashing for it seems a bit hard on my mana base. I mean, I could swap out the Moorland Haunt for a source but that still only leaves me one in the deck.

March 10, 2015 9:37 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #34

It is best to do it right after they draw a card, that way you have a chance of chucking whatever they just pulled. Though I guess that does leave it vulnerable to counterspells and it is best to do it when they have the least amount of mana available.

March 10, 2015 9:40 p.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #35

It isn't always the best to draw step it.

Deciding when to cast them is really tricky to figure out.

March 10, 2015 9:43 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #36

Intuition plays a big part. Observe your opponents plays

March 10, 2015 9:45 p.m.

enpc says... #37

Against control you plat it end of their turn to clear a way for your stuff. Basically make them tap out before your turn starts. That's what I've seen at least.

March 10, 2015 9:46 p.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #38

Not necessarily, You may be threat light and doing it main phase if you can win a counter war.

March 10, 2015 9:48 p.m.

bigguy99 says... #39

Clique is weird. Against decks without counters, you usually just draw step it. Otherwise I do think it should be end step-ed on the end of the opponent's turn because it'll force a counter out and if it's good then you have an attacker. Trading it for a counter is fine imo since there's more important shit you'll need to get out later in the game.

I flipped Liliana turn 3... If anyone cares

March 10, 2015 10:09 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #41

New lili good in commander?

March 10, 2015 10:19 p.m.

Speaking of Commander. I think I just came from my worst experience ever.

March 10, 2015 10:20 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #43

I think i want to make a Bladewing the Risen deck haha

March 10, 2015 10:25 p.m.

CanadianShinobi what happened?

March 10, 2015 10:30 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #45

VampireArmy I have never made such a good deck in less than 2 days. She's REALLY fucking good.

March 10, 2015 10:44 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #46

hmm....i guess she could be aha.

March 10, 2015 10:53 p.m.

So, I play online, which is nice because it often gives a wide variety of decks and people to play against.

Anyway, the game starts and one of my opponents is running an Intet dragon deck like myself and we had a good chuckle at that. The other two were running Bant. One of those Bant players was someone I had played before and he runs a Ban equipment deck. It can get crazy, but nothing that can't be handled.

This other guy... just... uhg. He sat there for a bunch of turns taking damage, durdled around with tutors and draw spells and ramp. And then out of know where he brings back all the artifacts he had discarded with Windfall, which included Darksteel Forge. And then he starts tutoring more things with Stonehewer Giant. Who at this point has protection from everything except creatures, double strike, and every sword. What does this guy do? Just freaking sits there attacking the Bant player's Etched Champion.

So this is going on for like 5 turns. I try and tutor up a Cyclonic Rift and he counters my tutor. And you can't kill this guy due to a Pariah's Shield on the giant. So, me and the other Intet player are just sitting there. Doing nothing because everything we try is countered. It was fucking frustrating as hell.

CuteSnail says... #48

CanadianShinobi sorry you had to deal with that....

March 10, 2015 10:59 p.m.

I mean, it's fine to play good decks and all and I usually prefer a challenge, but this was ridiculous. He just refused to let us play.

March 10, 2015 11:02 p.m.

Well the fact that he had a winning boardstate and didn't do jack with it (or kill you guys quickly) falls into the "I'm a dick" category.
