Tibs, there's nothing wrong with Tron. I just built and it's too much fun playing Corn Liberated T3.
Also, I just noticed that IM's name misspelled Independent. Was that on purpose or am I missing something?

Wurmcoil is easy. You just Path to Exile that bitch. I pack 3 Blood Moon just for titanbloom and tron. Those decks are terrifying

FAMOUSWATERMELON I mean people who misspell things, intentionally or not. It's not like your username is F@M0USWAT3RM3L0N or something.
The English language isn't the Ingrish language for a reason...

VampireArmy As a Bloom player you may also want to be aware of Chromatic Lantern out of the board. A lot of titan players are running it now (thanks to CVM) as a way to get colored mana even with a Blood Moon in play.

ahem
The word "ingrish" is actually how someone with a Japanese accent would pronounce "English" because in Japanese there is no "L". The closest you have to L in Japanese you get to a "L" is an "R", mostly because the construction of these languages is so different. For instance, English has 26 letters derived from a common, Latin based alphabet. Japanese has an alphabet (for lack of a better term) divided into a series of calligraphic characters based upon ancient Chinese calligraphy, though it has evolved into its own language over the centuries.
The more you know!

Can we all please be a bit more respectful towards Meta? Sure, his points are for the most part invalid, but sometimes he has a good idea every now and then but it too gets pushed off because of his, well, trolly reputation.
June 16, 2015 8:44 p.m.
I believe it's that the Japanese have no distinction between an L and an R - which explains why you hear both in their music, basic speech, etc. - and so the sounds are technically interchangeable but really the case is that their sound isn't something that our alphabet can describe and it's not something we've ever used. It just tends to sound like an R.
Or, I might be full of shit. One of my friends is Japanese and went to go study the language there and that's what he brought back.

Magicrafter, the thing is he constantly makes posts that simply cannot be true, and acts incredibly arrogant when he's confronted about it, and then complains of trolls and whines to the admins. The community as a whole is incredibly tired of his bullshit, which leads to the general attitude many people have towards him.

I have so many deck brewing projects that I'm too lazy to start.

CanadianShinobi says... #13
bigguy99 that's what I said just in a less simplistic way, because I like being unduly complicated.
Magicrafter the short answer is not really, because this has been a long draw out process in which he has tried the patience of the community numerous times. Attempts to be respectful and engage in intelligent conversation are often dismissed or met with ramblings that no one understands. Frankly, in my opinion, and based upon my past interactions with him, he is a victim because he often makes himself the victim. That is all I will say on the matter because I don't wish to derail this into Toxic Hate on Someone Land.
June 16, 2015 8:54 p.m.
So, I think IM doesn't want to be a troll, but he makes no attempt to change his behavior. Which means I have no reason to take him seriously.

I am ever-trying to make T/O a place that offers the greatest good for the most people. Its a balancing act with no real right answers.
What led to the present state was a consistent pattern of innocuous or otherwise civil posting followed by somewhat bizarre personal tangents with little clear connections to the original post. This site isn't a personal diary. Truth be told, I've approached other people (privately) when I felt that their personalities were becoming too consuming or predominant.
But yes, that said, vigilance in making sure dealings with others are civil and polite is still a thing.
....Oh to go back to the days where TappedOut had no forums

Actually CanadianShinobi, I'll battle you for our league match. We should be be in the same bracket.
June 16, 2015 9:06 p.m.
That's the right answer haha. I'll play you. I'll set up the game now.
June 16, 2015 9:07 p.m.
League match takes precedence over friendly duel. I want to see this anyways.
June 16, 2015 9:07 p.m.
Lel at Varm
YeaGO, no other words to say to that, other than thanks for all the hard work.

This is going to suck though... Affinity D: I need to stop playing brews in these leagues.
June 16, 2015 9:10 p.m.
Canadian, your brew kicked my token deck's butt haha. I think brews add some spice to modern. We can't all play twin or abzan :p

Apparently my laptop decided that instead of booting up, it was going to work on updates. Good job laptop. To the desktop then!

CanadianShinobi says... #29
xzzane to be fair I do have a chance since my deck is much more capable against decks like Elves and Tokens than say... Abzan, but I'm just lamenting I didn't get to use the Bant deck I brewed up a few days after submissions closed...
Oh yeah I should probably work on that Bant deck.

No idea. I just took the picture and continued on my way out.

Judging from the top of the tag there, it's either $0.99, $2.99, $3.99, $8.99, or $9.99.

Knowing my store and how much we charge on stupid shit, it's probably $9.99.

So I just won. Against Affinity no less. I deserve a medal!
June 16, 2015 10:33 p.m.

Aaaand here's your medal.
I'm starting to thing I have no idea how to play a deck I've spent a great deal of time looking into. Which is worrying.

Roasted Swan Playtest
Modern
SCORE: 30 | 19 COMMENTS | 1498 VIEWS
This lovely thing.
GoldGhost012 I highly doubt that. I managed to get a few lucky draws in game 2 and my deck is hard to handle unless you can find an answer for the Swan.
June 16, 2015 10:42 p.m.
ABadMagicPlayer100 says... #45
Answer to Swans? Ha, that's a good one. In reality though, a well-timed Combust works wonders.
June 16, 2015 10:43 p.m. Edited.
CanadianShinobi says... #46
ABadMagicPlayer100 this is true. But Affinity doesn't usually run Combust.
June 16, 2015 11:03 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #47
Galvanic Blast is practically better in every way for Affinity. Almost.

Lol Swans seems a bit unfair.
Why isn't it played much in Modern?
Edit: on second thought, it doesn't seem that broken, just fairly good

OK, so I'm trying this as a project - I want to build a deck almost completely out of community input. Probably a terrible idea, but I'm lacking in inspiration. Anyone want to help out?
