Yep, just like you smashed all the other big tournaments around here. Oh wait....

Mark me down. Got nothing better to do this month, the move is pretty much complete, and all I'm doing now is focusing on my studies to pass my state certification for work. Should be done in the next two weeks.

ROFLMAO. I know your deck, and I know it's got nothing on recurring threats. And doesn't 2 ONLY hit Goyf? Last I checked he's the least threatening part of the deck, seeing as Crusher (3) and Terravore (4) along with even Loam + Assault (3) tend to wreck his measly 6/7 ass. Although I will fully admit you are the only Landstill player capable of sending out an EE @ 4. So ya, your build is a tad more threatening than most.

I think that just means "lazy" sir. I'm a combo player and I'm willing to go full aggro to stomp Threshenanigans.

How about replacing the monthly Legacy tournaments with Elder Dragon Highlander (http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~geduggan/EDH_rules.html)? Hell, I'll put up the prizes.

DeathwingZERO
07-15-2008, 04:21 AM
I would consider playing it, but not over Legacy. While EDH is fun, there's really no way in hell I'd even attempt building a deck that would literally have maybe 10-15 cards worthwhile in Legacy or Vintage.

And that'd be if I was playing a single color general. Adding more colors would just give me no excuse to having an EDH deck and not a Legacy one. Duals, shock lands, etc, I couldn't see myself being able to build even a semi-successful EDH deck for under $100-150.

Brado, I second that EDH... I would put up Prizes too... I love EDH... If you don't have a group, I do... We have about 7 people... 4 show up often... it's alot of fun... my favorite format...


I have never tried Cude, but I have alot of cards, so I thinkI could probably make one, just no power!

Yeah, it's not cheap if you don't have a robust collection.

Personally, I can't justify killing a Sunday to play what is essentially an over-powered Limited format with someone else's cards. Cube draft seems like something you do before or after a tournament, but not for the main thing.

And you want to play EDH? :tongue:

Honestly though, I think there are, on average, more Sourcers with Legacy decks than EDH decks. Unless you have one you'd like to let me borrow, I'm not really up for the whole EDH thing.

edit -

I didn't see a thread for it, so I suppose I'll stick it here: For the Larger tourney on August 31st, I just realized that's the same weekend as PAX (www.pennyarcadeexpo.com). Is there any way we can push it up/move it back? I really don't want to have to choose between the two, because I really want to go to this tournament.

DeathwingZERO
07-15-2008, 04:31 PM
Hasn't PAX tended to suck in the past few years? I've had friends that have gone to it and been very disappointed by last year and the year before.

As for "alternative" formats, I'd have no problem with having an EDH round robin or Cube draft on the side, starting after like round 3 when a number of 0-x's drop.

If anyone would be willing to front me a couple of the more expensive rares, I can probably put together a mono-blue Arcanis deck on the cheap. Blue seems to be the only color that wouldn't completely rape my broke ass trying to build, since FoW is the single most expensive card in that color I'd play. I could actually put a list together over the next few days and PM it to anyone that'd want to see what they've got lying around.

If you want to look into it as a side event, I'd be willing to work on one in the meantime. I'd need some help from peeps on the bigger rares, but I'm not above going out for some nickel and dime stuff and about 40-50 Islands.

As far as counterbalance goes, I became really annoyed having to play against it several times during the last few tournaments, even though I was playing it myself. I've been trying to cook up something that can beat it consistently, but I'm no savant at that sort of thing.

Come on man... any asshole can play counterspell... why you gotta play mono-blue? I mean, if you dont have enough talent, then mono-blue is the way to go.... But I thought you knew how to play the game...:cool:

Who said I was playing Counterblue? Come on, my General is ARCANIS, not fucking Ertai (though that would be RIDICULOUS, thanks for the idea for another deck!). At most I'd be running probably a grip (7) countermagic, being:

1x Counterspell
1x FoW
1x Dissipate
1x Mana Drain (if Bret would be willing to let me borrow one of his, which I'm sure he would)
1x Misdirection
1x Cryptic Command
1x Spelljack
1x Forbid

Other than that, I'd probably not run much countermagic. Maybe A Voidmage Prodigy or Draining Whelk for shits n giggles. The obvious Hydroblast and BEB will probably show up as well, but I may just cut them out of knowing I won't see them much.

Most of my blue based decks are combo oriented, or random things like Affinity shells. So things like Broodstar, Darksteel Colossus, Ironworks, etc would probably show up in it. It'll more than likely be an artifact/blue based deck, since I have access to Tolarian Academy, Tinker, Monolith, Time Spiral, etc. So chances are, it'll just be a Masturbation style deck, with some protection elements. I'm not even sure what the win condition would be.

EDIT: And don't forget, for "budget" purposes I wanted mono-color. I can't afford to go find duals, shock lands, fetchlands, etc for a deck of 1 ofs. Anything past a single color and I'm already looking at the $200+ price range just for a manabase that's stable, barring a heavy green shell, which I hate doing. And the only other mono-color deck I'd play is black, and just thinking of random things from that color makes my wallet cry. I still might go with my original plan from my 150 highlander and stick with UBr, depending on how cheap certain cards I'd want are. A number of the cards I want for that deck I already have, since I was trying to build my BB German highlander for a while. I've probably still got about 20-30 spells out of the way for that in various shapes and forms.

If you play highlander I'll play highlander. I was seriously going to play a cheater highlander deck at the next turney. It was going to be 60 cards, everything a singleton but the mana base and 4 Tarmogofy. And if I won it would be proof that 4 Gofys and 56 or random cards is a legitimate deck in legacy.

I have played 60 card highlander decks (cheating on the mana base) 3 times at the weekly cave tournament and piloted to 3-1 or 2-1 each time.

I now have proof that 4 Goyf and 56 random cards is a legitimate deck in legacy. I'm very proud to announce that I made top 8 with my semi highlander deck.

My awesome deck of doom:

1 Brainstorm
1 Sensei’s Divining Top
1 Mirri’s Guile
1 Sylvan Library

1 Fact or Fiction
1 Intuition
1 Gifts Ungiven
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Genesis
1 Eternal Witness
1 Trinket Mage
1 Life from the Loam
1 Pithing Needle

4 Tarmogoyf
1 Tombstalker
1 Exalted Angle
1 Loxodon Hierarch
1 Gigapede

1 Swords to Plowshares
1 Condemn
1 Smother
1 Vindicate
1 Diabolic Edict
1 Shriekmaw
1 Mortify
1 Krosan Grip

1 Damnation
1 Wrath of God
1 Pernicious Deed
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Nevinyrral's Disk
1 Akroma’s Vengeance

3 Bayou
3 Savanna
3 Scrubland
1 Tundra
1 Tropical Island
1 Underground Sea
1 Barren Moor
1 Tranquil Thicket
1 Wasteland
1 Volrath’s Stronghold

3 Polluted Delta
1 Forest

SB:
3 Krosan Grip
3 Pithing Needle
1 Gaea’s Blessing
4 Extirpate
3 Circle of Protection: Red
1 Loxodon Hierarch

I squeaked into the top 8 at 3-2, being the only 3-2 to make it in. I got paired against my buddy Abe in the top 8 and I conceded to him because I had no chance against the 4 dredge decks that made top 8. Abe conceded to me at the Underground Seas tournament in the finals so I definitely owed him one. He gave me one of his Wooded Foothills after he won four, so I really like how it turned out.

Quick tournament report:

Round 1
I play Trevor playing his rock deck that he top 8'ed with at the DLD. Games 1 he gets land screwed + 1 wasteland and Angle goes the distance. Game 2 had some decent interaction but then his Angle goes the distance. Game 3 was quite possibly the most epic game of magic I have ever played. It was a ridiculously long game that I recovered from Armageddon + Wasteland lock to win.

Round 2
I play Ron playing yet another rock style deck his being 2 color. Gifts + Intuition crush the mirror and served me well.

Round 3
Quinn w/ Dredge. I consider just conceding but decide to play to see if I could luck sack a game and get better tiebreakers. Unfortunately 0-2 with no big surprise there.

Round 4
Goblins. I get desperately close to stabilizing in game one but just can't quite pull it off. Game two I win stabilizing at 1 with Cop: Red then recurring Loxodon Hierarch 3 times. Game 3 I was prepared for any hand but a lacky hand having Needle, Smother, Damnation, and Hierarch. I manage a to Smother something but I still die before my fourth turn. I didn't get a single Tarmogoyf all three games =-(.

Round 5
My opponent conceded to me, not really sure what his reasons were exactly.

I want to send a special thanks to the two Seattle players that came down and got crushed while I top 8 with highlander. You guys suck and I'm simply amazing.

Actually, he top 8'd with Ichorid. Like every other Ichorid player.

Fuck the East Coast for bringing that deck over here. No one played it before Krieger and Anwar took it to the DLD. Now I actually have to metagame for it.

He lied to me.

I just wanted to chime in, j00 suck. Bret and I have not only had the deck built for playtesting since last year, I've PLAYED it before. I even brought it to the DLD myself. Nobody noticed though, as my matchups were terrible, and I went 1-2 drop.

Also, props to the fellow Ichorid players, for truly shifting the hell out of our metagame. Every part that died inside me when I lost with combo at the Batcave regrew a little yesterday. I have myself and you 3 to thank for that. Oh, and Ichorid too. He's a fucking beast of a Horror.

What was all the hate used in the Sligh deck? Seems like over kill, but he did end up in the top 2.

That I know of, RGB slight brought in Crypts and Extirpates against me. He said he sided in 13 cards, so there was either a 1 of that he might have had 3 in the maindeck already, or he didn't have 4 of's of all his hate pieces. I'm not sure, I never saw past the first few turns both games.

Did I really hurt your guys feelings so bad that you won't give me props? I was was just kidding you guys don't suck (that bad). I was half expecting a line like, "A drunken monkey playing 5 color aggro slivers could have got in the top eight with your match ups, Nick." You guys know I like to just f' with people, c'mon you guys are my teammates.

Now, Nick, just imagine what you could have done if you'd played a good deck.

Actually, one of the Ichorid decks was piloted by a local player (Quinn) who has been playing it for a long time. He just hadn't shown up at the last few Batcave tournaments.




Yep thats me QUINN. I had to re register for thesource. And yeah I top8d with ichorid and I wasnt even playing LED.
