Two years ago today, I joined TappedOut. Here's to two more years.

@ChiefBell: I'm also the kind of person who doesn't like birthday presents, for what it's worth.

Anyone think i should ditch niv mizzet as my general and use something like keranos to play combo-control?
March 18, 2015 9:25 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #6
Hm...like i feel my animar deck relys way too heavily on having him on the field...i would like to have a deck that can combo out without needing my general but can use my general if needed

What colors do you want to go? Tasigur, the Golden Fang is pretty nice.
March 18, 2015 9:43 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #8
Right now i want UR for sure. A third color if needed
March 18, 2015 9:46 p.m.
I am partial to Saffi Eriksdotter if thats the case. But thats also because I've been spending the last year fine tuning mine.
Also, ABURs - I have Tropical Island, should I get Underground Sea or Bayou next? (this is for a BUG mana base). I'm leaning toward the Bayou since more stuff in the deck can get it, plus it's cheaper. Thoughts?

Epochalyptik Well then it seems that you have made up your mind to sell the deck. Then go ahead, since that is what you want.
March 18, 2015 9:52 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #11
@enpc: I'd pick Underground Sea because blue tends to be more important. Unless, of course, you need Bayou more, in which case I question your build choices.
March 18, 2015 10:18 p.m.
Green mana usually isnt a problem. It was more because I run Skyshroud Claim and Nature's Lore so the forest fetching seems good. But yeah, blue mana is super important.

Dude
Maybe i should revive my sydri deck...
The generals could possibly switch between sydri, sharuum, and sen triplets. That sounds actually sort of boss

I can not bring myself to break a deck up. I am not saying they are good, just can not take anymore apart. I want to so I can make some trades though.

Been listening to some set reviews and reading some thoughts on DTK. I don't think I've seen anyone agree with Narset seeing Modern play :(
March 18, 2015 11:43 p.m.
She's not super great, but I think she could be pretty good.

bijschjdbcd says... #17
Sorry slovakattack, Im sorta crushing your pet deck at the moment.
March 18, 2015 11:44 p.m.
The problem with Narset is her worst case scenario. Although she CAN provide card advantage, it doesn't mean she WILL. Not to mention 4 CMC is a really awkward spot on a control deck curve.

You don't -x-Juuzou-x-x-. You can however call on vampirelazarus and get it added to the list of necro'd threads.
March 18, 2015 11:49 p.m.
vampirelazarus says... #22
Please, -x-Juuzou-x-x-. Tag me in the necro'd threads. I keep a list.
Dont go necroing threads, just tag me in the ones that are posted in a month after their last post.
And I'll bookmark it, and add it to my list when I have free time :P

So I built some weird Psuedo "gifts" list for Sharuum Duel Commander. Sadface that Gifts itself is banned. had to use Intuition.

VampireArmy: With Gifts, it's pretty easy to just T2 using Yawgwill and combo off.
March 19, 2015 12:17 a.m.
VampireArmy says... #29
totally understandable. I'm fine wif dis though. Looks sweet on "paper" (AKA the drawing board)

CanadianShinobi says... #31
Building Commander decks are mildly frustrating me. I know my current list needs work, but I'm not sure what needs work. Maybe I should try Duel Commander?

Heh. All decklists for the league are posted before the fights begin, so there's not much point in hiding it. It's not much of a claim to beat any deck in particular if you can't say what you're playing. All decks have bad matchups.
Particularly for Gifts, the onus is much more on the player to make the right choices. The deck does very little work for you.
Finally: I'm not playing Gifts in the League. Sorry if you assumed I was :P

If anyone is interested I just finished rebuilding my Loam Poxx deck. Now it has returned focus towards lands.
March 19, 2015 12:32 a.m.
Trying to get ahead in math and study infinite products on my own. They're super fun, especially compared to infinite sums.
Considering focusing on pure math over algebraic geometry. Proofs are lots of fun.

Math sounds evil. I'm dealing with personal issues.

Femme_Fatale says... #39
I &heart; proofs. I like it when I can utilize basic math over and over again to solve complex problems. The one thing I hated about Physics and Chemistry was the requirement to memorize formulas. Physics was nice in the kinetics at least, as you can figure things out just through formula tinkering, but chemistry was really irritating in that you couldn't do that.
March 19, 2015 12:47 a.m.
But...you can't use basic math over and over again. You use complex math to solve even more complex problems. Even the most basic calculus proofs (for things like the product and quotient rules for derivatives) aren't easy to see. It's incredible that the rules were even discovered considering the people that found them didn't know what was going to become of what they were working on.
And then you've got proofs for set theory. Shit makes me sick.

About maths, I can prove that 1+2+3+4+5+6...=-1/12. I'll be back in a couple hours if you want to see it :->

LIVEFORCHAOS that is big news, but don't let it fester.
March 19, 2015 2:27 a.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #45
It is very important that you don't let it get to you LIVEFORCHAOS. You can talk to your sister about it, but you must make sure to convey to her that who you two are to each other doesn't change. It's no different from how a parent should treat their adopted child, or those who choose to be brothers and sisters even though they share no blood (I know of a few peeps like this, it isn't unlike how me and my daughter are, no blood blood and no legality bond). Just remember that she is still your sister and you are still her brother, and nothing is going to change that.

We're keeping decklists private for the league. You just tage Femme_Fatale in it as a private deck.....
March 19, 2015 5:26 a.m.
Up to you. Hence why facebook makes things easier. Message your opponents and play at a time that suits both of you.
March 19, 2015 5:43 a.m.
Ryotenchi - you're not in the facebook group, on my list of contact details, or on the list of people in the league.
Do you want to take part?
March 19, 2015 5:44 a.m.
kk, Thanx ChiefBell. Guess Im gonna have to keep facebook open. :3

@enpc: No. I don't think I could even get to gold, to be honest. I'm not very good on Rift.
@FAMOUSWATERMELON: I picked it up because it was I thing I could do in university. I enjoy(ed) it, sure, but to me it's not really that special lifelong hobby.
As for the deck, I don't really have an attachment to it in a meaningful sense. I'm proud of it, but most of the pride is in having created it. I honestly don't even think about it unless I'm posting something about it, and I don't ever really have the chance to play it anymore. I don't even know where the nearest viable playgroup is.
