Hey guys,
I play with a group of 5-6 people who would be interested in events and testing in either Boulder or prefferably at Total Escape (i live right down the street). EG is garbage and Black...
It's all theory craft at this point but I like it. Realistically it will cost you 3 or 4 life to kill the Goyf early, while late you have better cards to kill it. It's got all the tempo of...
Sorry, I mean Vendetta. I was considering it as a replacement for Deathmark since I see a whole lot more Goblins and Merfolk than Goyf nowadays.
That is precisely why I have been looking at Vindicate. I havn't have a chance to test it out yet.
My board is currently:
3 Spinning Darkness
3 Dystopia
4 (grave hate of some sort)
3 Needle
2 Soul Spike
I can say for sure that the Spinning Darkness and the Needles will not be coming out....
I have not played Counterbalance at all. Is getting a Needle into play on Top (or Foundry?) not strong enough?
Vortex really just finished him off. I realize it's not going to commonly go down like that but he was unable to find Confinement in time and the 2 damage per turn plus a couple good rips ended it. ...
My mistake, I though you were referencing the Quarterfinals.
It was game 3 so I can assure you that Constantine knew he was on TES. My guess would be he was trying to keep him off mana and Tutor. You can call it a risky move but it worked.
Grats on the...
As I mentioned before I will be looking at Vendetta for a more flexible solution to blue and red while maintaining the tempo of Deathmark. Deathmark was added in the first place as a response to the...
I think Top could be nice actually. Fixing your draws, revealing less damage with Bob, keeping Jace from fatesealing you out of the game, and occasionally grabbing the 1 extra card you need off the...
I'm not sold on Dark Depths but I will say that Hexmage is a nice proactive solution to Jace. Did having no board against control come up yesterday?
Kyle is a good friend and testing partner of mine so I can try to shed some light on the Vortexes. He loves them because if you're ahead you can often stick one and win outright. There's no way he...
A couple more quick notes:
Needle was fantastic and blew people out. My Merfolk opponent kept a mediocre hand with vials and got destroyed while my Madness opponent was able to counter the 2nd...
my buddy was the Burn pilot and we basically had to force him to add the Shushers that locked up the Semis vs Countertop. I only remember 3 of the other top 8 decks: EPIC Storm, another Goblins,...
I actually played it at the 5k also. There wasn't a single match where I was blown out and I was usually very close to stabilizing. Quick details, I'll elaborate later if people have questions:
...
Thanks, I'm going to work on getting more solid results from Leyline tonight. I've cut one because I'm really happy with the rest of the board. In order to go to 4 Leyline I would highly consider...
My final board I'll be using this weekend unless it doesn't pan out in testing:
4x Spinning Darkness
3x Dystopia
3x Leylne of the Void (with needle for the Landstill match I am comfortable going...
I have two thoughts on a splash. First, the deck is currently not vulnerable to wasteland. This is one of it's finest strengths and something that would be inevitably lost with a splash (fetching...
Leyline is problematic and if it starts getting added to a lot of boards then The Gate may not be a good meta choice. However, Dystopia should be able to take care of even multiple Leylines with no...
My comment was not so much about Tabernacle being problematic for the deck, but rather that the deck is expensive. I don't test much against Lands due to it's scarcity.
I agree, and I do not like the Lands match-up. Fortunately the cost of Tabernacle is prohibitive.
I can't think of a single card that I'd want to cut for Vial. This deck is not looking to keep mana up on an opponent's turn anyway.
Not much, but I would have a hard time fitting it in. ...
While I am not 100% behind Soul Spike, it at bare minimum forces your opponent to storm out for 2 more than normal. Against the average storm player you're putting up quite a hurdle.
It would...
