So you could say that Kozilek lives up to his namesake?

Kozilek, Butcher of Truth

Also, I promise I won't get combative if spikes want to give my first self brewed control deck a once over?... Please?... lol

CanadianShinobi, I kinda wish there were a good/bad matchup list so sideboarding would be easier for the unknown.. Though I doubt it would be feasible with the ever changing meta..

March 15, 2015 10:06 p.m.

GlistenerAgent says... #6

For what deck in particular? I pretty much know all of that stuff. Let me know what you need.

March 15, 2015 10:08 p.m.

Ryotenchi which meta? Modern? Standard? Legacy? Modern doesn't have a changing meta. Hell I wouldn't even consider Modern to have a healthy meta (read too much Abzan). Legacy I know nothing about. Standard from what I've seen, have been immensely diverse since Khans was released.

GlistenerAgent, Currently I'm working on Dredgevine w/o the Bloodghasts. I know for sure Burn is its worst match-up, and in my play testing G/R Tron laughs at my deck if I don't combo early..

Control is supposedly the best match-up as they cant keep the board empty, and is where Bloodghast truly shines.

(Not gonna plug my deck in this forum though. :P Troll'o-goyf)

March 15, 2015 10:12 p.m.

I should state that my previous comment is referring to the current state of things.

March 15, 2015 10:14 p.m.

Ryotenchi says... #10

Modern.

Well, CanadianShinobi.. I guess ever changing is too much of an exageration. Suffice to say I dont board for storm anymore... and no one in my small meta runs it atm.

March 15, 2015 10:14 p.m.

Control is most definitely your best matchup. They don't have infinite removal spells, and you have infinite creatures.

I'd say Affinity and Burn are your worst matchups. Jund historically deals a lot of damage to itself for mana, and you don't have nearly enough removal to handle a Cranial Plating onslaught.

You've got a sweet sideboard. :)

Ryotenchi says... #12

Well at least its in the right place.. Just noticed Im still running Birds of Paradise after I already kicked Domri Rade out again... Guess I could jam 3 horribly expensive Bloodghast back in...

March 15, 2015 10:19 p.m.

The current Modern meta game pisses me off. For the sake of my health I won't go into why, but the abundance of Abzan is a starting point. And I am beginning to seriously contemplate about joining the "Ban Goyf" camp.

March 15, 2015 10:20 p.m.

It's actually very strong right now. Abzan, Twin and Burn combine for about 30% (split about evenly between them) according to mtggoldfish.com, and that number is a lot better than when Delver was big (the top two decks were Pod and Delver for around 40% combined). There are things you can do to beat two out of those three decks and lose to the third, which is a telltale sign of a very strong format.

Affinity comes behind them, showing that all archetypes of deck save for the pure control decks are in big force in the format. The metagame follows a cycle, which is very important.

My problem is with that evil rhino... cause with goyf I can just chump for days... kill it relatively easy at times.. that rhino though, not only do I have to have a beefie blocker taking me off the attack, but now I need a specific kill spell and its already done its job..

..its just too efficient...

Though Im not blaming it, I need to run answers for it or change decks to cope you know.. I hate that idea though.. its unfun being forced into a deck just cause its good against x. :(

March 15, 2015 10:30 p.m.

GoldGhost012 says... #16

Hey, that Rhino has feeling too you know! That's... just his way of expressing them!

March 15, 2015 10:33 p.m.

No, currently Abzan midrange decks constitute roughly 25-30% of the meta.

Wish my step-father didn't jack my freshly pulled Tarmogoyf back when the set was out... At least Id have one..

So... Judging by the space between lines and low amount of text on that page... This cant possibly be a childrens book can it?!

@ Epochalyptik: What is the deal with Kozelek? is he still angry from the thread about Prosh and Food Chain? he seems to really dislike you

I remember that whole food chain thread. That was crazy. But yeah, he just seems really butthurt about it to be honest, and I think he's just taking it out on Epoch. Not exactly mature, but hey, people do it.

Curse you phone. Hyperlinking is lame via phone.

Seriously femme, don't get offended at me, I'm not the one who made the book.

I'm just an emissary of the Internet.

Wow... Caligula.. just wow.. Read that and about died laughing when I realized it looked like a kiddie book. XD

That cheating thing was pretty crazy. A little unprecedented that he owned up to it so clearly, and quickly. No idea who he is, but I always get surprised when people try to cheat in events like that. Cheating really bothers me, so I am glad when they are caught. I just wonder how many things go off with out being noticed.

How was I supposed to know it was in a book? It just looked like another extremely offensive image to me.

@Ryotenchi it's from a kiddie book. =|

So I was having a look at other Saffi Eriksdotter decks, as you do, and came across this:

Not my deck compared to my deck. I know its not a big thing but damned if there aren't a few similarities :P

Got to the aunt b one before the site stopped working for me. Yup, that was a butt hole.

March 16, 2015 12:23 a.m.

I must say that I don't feel greatly threatened by someone who can't spell "archmage" and doesn't know the difference between "since" and "sense."

You know.

Since there's a lack of sense.

Some people need sleep.

March 16, 2015 7:03 a.m.

Yes, that's something my roommate doesn't understand. He stays up to the early hours of the morning talking to his friends via skype and phone. I had to move to the couch last night to actually have some quiet. Needless to say I did not sleep well. Oh, I also have class until 5pm today so, fantastic.

March 16, 2015 7:11 a.m.
