It depends. A lot of times I usually go for the Infernal Tutor/Burning Wish or Ad Nauseam. Sometimes I'll force the first ritual if I their board state says that can Wasteland them out of the game.

Tendrils is not one spell; it's going to be about 10 or 11 instances of one spell, so Forcing it only removes one instance. Essentially, you're still dead.

Right I don't even play blue in legacy, I'm an enchantress player and I find it hilarious when they must force my 1 mana spells that do practically nothing emptying their hand as I power through the counter spells obviously force is a playable card, it just isn't good, if force went away then Disrupting Shoal would probably replace it, because it's necessary doesn't innately make it good, it just makes it necessary.

A lot of times, at least against good players, it's not necessarily cut and dry, they have Cabal Therapy and Duress and you should be attempting to figure out what line they are taking. I mean, I've stopped storm players by forcing them to deal with a Daze and Spell Pierce.
May 31, 2015 6:29 p.m.
Disrupting Shoal is ass and Enchantress has next to no game without Sigil of the Empty Throne, so forcing that is a win in itself.

bigguy99 let's count the enchantress wins shall we?
Helm of Obedience + Rest in Peace Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Sigil of the Empty Throne Words of War Dryad Arbor(1 damage here and there is sometimes all it takes) and they are merely the common wins

Can't say I've ever lost to Enchantress or seen it do well in any kind of Legacy setting.

I remain unconvinced. Forgive me, but people can say their records are whatever they want without proof of record and without accounting for how good the field was.
If you're as good as you say you are, I'll be watching for your Top 8 at Lille.

tyforthevenom says... #15
But I mostly play against delver and stoneblade, I also don't have a full paper copy of the list nor the money for Lille (missing Moat and a single sanctum)

Fluffy and bigguy: Thanks, I don't ever play storm, so I forgot that Forcing the original doesn't stop the copies lol

Yeah... I missed the good stuff due to work. But now, now the quote wall grows. I love it.

This conversation escalated quickly. Or maybe it didn't, I can't really tell. I just wanted to use the meme quote.

So, all FOW arguments aside, how's everybody doing tonight?

I doing well. I need to get on T/O more often. LoL has been taking up all my free time lately. Trying to improve my adc skills and working up to buying kalista. Also decided to get better at top lane

Great :) Definitely enjoying reading this last page or so. I caught another train just in time too, so I'll be home soon.

I'm feeling great. Graduated high school on Friday, and now all I'm doing is working and going to the gym. I'm not sure I can keep up the same routine everyday though.

I'm good. I moved into a house where people are not ass-hats. I am super sleepy though.

I finally saw the preview for Jurassic World. It looks like it has potential to not be garbage.

Finally updated my Ghave deck. If Rune-Scarred Demon and Ready / Willing were being counted in the price, it'd be right around $800. Feels good.
May 31, 2015 10:32 p.m.
I'm working on a Ghave deck myself Itchi. Glad you're liking it. Also very looking forward to the modern tournament.

I am now accepting volunteers for my XCOM: Long War Ironman campaign. Essentially you can pick a class from one of 8. I'll make a character for you in game and you can help defend Earth. Your character will probably die. Also, I'm not matching you to your nationality unless I can.
Classes:
- Engineer
- Medic
- Infantry
- Assault
- Gunner
- Rocketeer
- Scout
- Sniper
Just know that if I people sign up for too many of one particular calss I'm just going to assign people as I see fit.

I can't find any german snapcasters for sale anywhere :/ and they sound so cool! Schnellzauberer!

It's a turn based strategy video game. You're put in charge of defending the earth from an alien invasion. Long War is a mod for the game which makes everything better.

I'm envious of Pascal Maynard... He opened a stamped foil Tarmogoyf in the top 8 of GP Vegas.

Yes. Sell that sucker for a couple boxes of MM2...

Anyone play Skyrim? I'm on my half-dozenth play-through but only second or third of it's entirety. I think. Still discovering new ventures in the game. Scripted and random.

CanadianShinobi says... #44
xzzane yes. The base game and dlc cost $60 Canadian (not sure what that is in American). You need the DLC to make Long War function. In all honesty just wait for a Steam sale. The Summer Sale will no doubt drop the price significantly.
May 31, 2015 11:59 p.m.
Hmm. I don't have the money to buy it at full price, but I may get it if it goes on sale. Let me know if it ever does go on sale.

lol Zane for a second I thought you were talking about magic and I was thinking "is this kid high or just stupid?" and then it turned out to be about a different game
June 1, 2015 8:06 a.m.
Morning, peeps. Spoilers start today.
I bought DLC for Hyrule Warriors. The entire pack was $20, but there were 4 packs in it. It...was actually worth it, surprisingly.

I have been struck by a glorious idea. Sadly it's the reason I slept poorly last night.
