actually what I'm looking for are the exact types of posts you just made.


Now, can we talk about sexy appearances on the hit TV show SWAT?

SWAT and, Rizzoli and Isles

I'm pretty close to putting Barney on ignore.

Also I played three matches today, winning two of them (!!). While writing up the loss in the last game, I think I figured out the problem. Tell me what you think. What in retrospect was the key turn had this board (based off my memory, might not be completely accurate):

Him: 5 lands, Edgewall Innkeeper, 1/1 Deathtouch, 2/3 Lifelink, Order of Midnight. Don't remember his life total but he'd certainly taken some damage, and don't remember whether he had lands untapped but to fit my memory of the rest of the game, he probably did (at least 3 untapped)
Me: 8 lands, 4/5 Voracious Hydra, 4/4 Hydroid Krasis, 2 food

My hand: Oko, Mass Manipulation, Hydroid Krasis. He knew about all three because he played Legion's End earlier in the game. He'd also connected with Rankle earlier, discarding Liliana, Dreadhorde General.

What's the play?



Kind of crappy game, I think I find the lines with Temur Reclamation much easier.

First things first, don't mess with our resident Canadian

To your question, well.. I said Krasis for 6 before reading the spoiler and I still say it. And I don't see why you would spend 8 mana on MM, risking a Veil of Summer blowout to steal a 1-drop and a 3-drop that neither kill nor block you (in the air).

Just casting something for 8 is not an "I-win"-button. What do you want with a 1/1 and a 2/3? Were you in danger of dying anytime soon? At least steal the one creature he would miss: the Innkeeper. You say that 1/1 keeps your creatures back. So what? You're winning the long game because you generate more value - he needs to kill you, not the other way around.

Sorry I don't mean to be offensive but I honestly don't understand that MM.

edit: Thinking about that play, even Oko wouldn't have been unreasonable. Turn one of your foods into an elk and see if your opponent has an idea to kill him. But I'd still prefer the Krasis for 6 - that's three cards and an evasive beater that puts your opponent on a short clock.

Also, one important piece of info that you haven't provided is the number of cards in opponent's hand. Does he have more cards than you have? Or is he topdecking already? Innkeeper can draw a lot and keep him in the value game. So another avenue would be elkifying him.

I swing with both Hydras and make a 6/6 Krasis. Having seen a Liliana and a Rankle, I fear those more than anything on the board and would have held MM for when another of those dropped (and I had more land to try and steal more)

Edit: the problem with this is that Legions End is a complete blow out. Of course, itll eat the one in hand too, so getting the life and card draw is probably the best.

And I'm assuming you run 4 Wicked Wolves, cuz if not, that Voracious Hydra should be a wolf which cures your death touch woes.

Here's a professional take on that by Seth Manfield. What do we do when Golgari Adventures and Selesnya Adventures can't beat Simic Food and we think Embercleave could be the solution? Gruul Adventures

Oko, Once upon a time and Veil of summer are now banned in standard.

Q: are we getting WCs?

Shouldn't, but probably will

We get wildcards to compensate.

Not that I care much, still haven't played Oko due to how silly he is in the meta.

EDIT: I like the extra wildcards, I had a playset of Once Upon a Time and 2 Okos. I just don't care much about "losing" Oko. Game is better for it.

Veil is the only one I'll miss. Not sure if that was needed. Hope that doesn't bring Thought Erasure etc back.

Mmm right as I was beginning to win with the food decks too lol.

I guess this means I get to try the decks that feel more in tune with my preferences more - looking at Bant Ramp, Temur Reclamation, and Jeskai/Grixis Fires.

I´m thinking Rakdos cleave, Golgari Henge, Dimir control and maybe even Esper Teferi.

Dimir Campaign for max lulz

This thread is min lulz

Only when you show up

You are right Vert and Cucho. I haven't taken my Dimir out for a while but it is lulz and Golgari Henge?
I replaced my OUaT with a playset of Bond of Flourishing and went 7-0 last night with it.

Yeah, maybe Rotting Regisaur and The Great Henge are allowed to prosper now. Don't forget Embercleave though. Sadly, Jund isn't going to happen for mana reasons - even 2-color decks struggle there. So we gotta pick two out of three. I like Golgari, but Gruul might just be better.

Also with Veil of Summer gone and no blue - thus no Hydroid Krasis - we need a contingency plan for blue-based Control again. Can we outvalue them or do we have to resort to aggression and hope for the best?

edit: Unrelated, but is there a way to see who has liked one's posts? I'm always glad to see that, but I never know who it was.

i feel like 90% of the time it's me.

Thank you

Yeah its definitely not me. I’ve only thumbed two of your posts.... and every single post Vert , Cucho and Darkstar make
