Did he not play the format any of the times when High Tide was good?
It's bad Merfolk matchup is usually pretty overstated, depending on what you board. If you turn your Missteps into 2 more removal spells and 2 utility and run 4-6 more spot removal in the board, you...
Stoneblade will still be relevant because Mystic is still really good against Merfolk. NORUG will still be good, because it's a collection of very powerful cards.
What I don't see, is where...
I don't think the Misstep format had itself figured out yet. Way too soon for the ruling, IMO.
Also, I really, really hate High Tide being playable again.
I remember Lapille as one of that contingent's strongest voices, especially post Flash ban. What a weird dynamic, considering the whole gentleman's agreement thing.
Also, I think part of the...
I read too much into your quote about the autoloss to Show and Tell, and figured you had a board control list in mind that had a positive matchup against both NoRug and Stoneblade, but was being kept...
I actually don't see how what you're thinking of wouldn't be competitive. You might have a pretty terrible game one against Hivemind, but it's not like you can't pack sideboard hate for it. If...
Every time I think of SFM, I think of Goblin Lackey way before either Goyf of Balance. And a lot of the pro/anti Lackey arguments are getting re-hashed here.
Team America's problem with Stoneforge was never really Sword of Feast and Famine. It was not having a reliable answer to Mystic cause you only ran four removal spells, and also outright losing to...
One thing I've been pondering is Dismember. Yeah, it costs a hefty amount of life, but it almost always kills Goyfs and can actually axe a Knight in the early game.
Yeah, Misstepping is fine because worst case scenario, they counter back and put you way ahead. My board doesn't have Jitte, so it's usually -3 Misstep -2 Ponder, +3 Reb +2 Lavamancer.
Ignoring things like Vial gives me more resources to actually resolve the Order. In that matchup, Force is almost entirely saved for whichever turn I'm ordering, rather than trying to disrupt their...
It's funny, because what I've done against Merfolk is just ignore everything that isn't Lord of Atlantis and resolve Natural Order, because I haven't wasted resources on things that I ultimately...
If I'm back from Boston, I'll be there.
Pitching to Force was really clutch. There were times I would've preferred Chain Lightning, but overall, they were the right call. It's really a meta/personal preference decision.
Bryant, you're killin' me smalls.
Grats on the finish man. How many times have we played since that 2006 match? I remember the classroom top eight in Geneseo and this last one, but I feel like...
Hah, you definitely did, it just looked a lot differently from my end of the board.
Yeah, I forgot what I opened on, but I got the number of counterspells right. I drew another force too, I just didn't have the blue card
Because he had Batterskull + SoFi. At that point, he just Jace bounces my blocker and beats me to death.
Fair enough. I wish that at least one of our games could've been interactive.
The Jupiter Games Northeast Legacy Championship Invitational:
Round One: James Higgenbottom- UWR Stoneforge
I answer an early Mystic with a Bolt, but he still grabs a Batterskull. I...
Although the event was this past weekend, this story actually begins on day two of Grand Prix Providence. I had gone 3-3 drop with Team America and had gotten rolled in a side event with Canadian...
On that note, this tournament was the only time I'll ever be top 2 in NELC qualifier points.
Report to come soon.
I have to go to grind in. If anyone wants to give me a floor to crash on, it'll be appreciated.
