    Re: [Discussion] Most broken Commander?

    The problem is that when people build their EDH decks they can't adjust for meta, so their choices for removal have to be extremely versatile and scale-able (lightning bolt won't generally get you...

    One more Necro...

    Why is noone trying to run green and just dumping half of the 'dorks' (BoP's, Hierarchs, Sryb rangers, Quirion rangers) to run Green Sun's Zenith?

    Re: [Deck] Turbofog

    Runed Halo and Oblivion ring are 2 of the best answers to Eldrazi. There are some other off-beat choices, but those are the ones that are most versatile - and viable imho. They definitely have a...

    Re: [Deck] UWb Esperblade

    I'd be lying if I didn't say that I've tested Fae' builds like BFS's list. The synergy of bitterblossom and SFM is an easy sell - and so many builds are already using VClique anyway...it's a pretty...

    Re: UWb Esperblade

    I'd like to just compare my list to Flores' list a bit. They are pretty dissimilar, but I'm one of the few people running a list with more than 3 or 4 discard spells in it and no FoW or Daze.

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    I rarely find myself wanting to shuffle away missteps, but finding room for 4 will probably be pretty difficult - and without blue mana it is another life loss card, so using 4 is probably not a good...

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    yeah, I wouldn't even hesitate to cut gatekeepers for missteps in the current meta and dealing with mana issues - it makes T1 Hymn/misstep plays pretty back breaking too. yeah, I'd start there -...

  9. Re: [Deck] Zenith-Rebirth Order (ZeRo) — Flashless Hulk Combo

    oh, I meant no offence. It was more of a back-handed compliment than anything else. I suppose I should have just said I think you guys are doing a hell of a job here - and you're failing at keeping...

    Re: Cryptic Command and Precursor Golem

    Can they get to re-select modes for the copies - like, could the player choose to tap all creatures or counter a spell with one of the copies?

    Re: Jupiter Games NELC Qualifier July 23rd

    Mindi, you should also check your decklists, because they are all missing cards, the sideboards don't add up (they read like there's 9 cards in the board, but 12 are shown and 15 were really played...
  12. Re: [ZeRO] Zenith-Rebirth Order — Flashless Hulk Combo

    This is funny to me, because Upsate NY has one of the strongest legacy Meta's in the country and the Jupiter event was a 3k. People that understand what it takes to win at Jupiter have already...

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    There's nothing wrong with disliking E-Tutor, it's strictly a preferance call. It is card disadvantage after all, and it's relatively slow, it was a tough sell for me at first too.

    If you don't...

    Re: UWb Esperblade

    I generally agree with all of that, but if I'm looking for a finisher, I just want something a bit more resilient to removal - that way I dont' have to run stuff like Mother of Runes. This is again...

    The problem I have with crusader is that he can block fine, but but his protections offer no resiliency to any of the format removal. If I wanted protections on creatures I'd probably be more prone...

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    No, I haven't given up on it. The downside is that it's foiled by much of the same hate that our win-con's are (Qasali Pridemage, K-Grip, etc), so it's value has gone down IMHO. Also, it doesn't...

    I generally agree here. I've been steadilly trimming Plague from my 75 - I started with 4 and I just keep cutting them. Also, Plague's are generally only extremely effective if you land 2. Landing 1...
