Pyroblast checks on resolution. Therfore you can target a land or whatever to add to your Storm count or to Threshold.
You can also Ricochet Trap Pyroblast easier than REB.
@Mon: Thanks for the detailed answer. I just tried the manabase you suggested (basic Forest and Plains) in a Daily Event and went 3-1. I like you argument against basic Forest and pro basic Plains to...
I play MTGO. In my experience, as soon as you play for tix the dredge-pilots are good.
I actually board out the counterbalances, because they only keep them from playing Therapy. I bring in REB,...
This was also my line of thought for moving Shackles to the board. And if there ever is a Tomstalker, he can meet Sords to Plowshares.
As you can see last page, I play the same MD (1Fire, 2...
Don't get me wrong, I love to play Shackles because it really feels like playing control. While I was playing MUC I rarely needed own creatures. The question is, do I need Shackles MD if I have...
My take to fit in Fires/Grove was to replace one Fetchland with a Grove and the Shakles with a Fire, keeping the Counterspells, with another Grove and Fire in the Board. I'm not totally set on this,...
Hi, I was the opponent.
Actually I should have K-Gripped the Counterbalance and EE the O-Ring. Or just ignore the O-Ring and play the second CB.
This was just me being stupid. I play better...
I had a couple of 7/8 Tarmogoyf earlier today thanks to my oppenent playing Mind Funeral. That was fun, somehow.
Hi Mana Drain, awesome deck and well written primer. Thanks.
I've played some 2-Man-Queue on MTGO with it and played against Canadian Thresh among others.
I have a question about your sideboarding...
Thanks for the article!
I feel better equiped to make the right choices when playing control now.
Do you like to make a follow-up with more puzzles? That would be awesome.
:laugh: You made my day.
But I think you should install MTGO on your computer at work. Why waste 40 hrs of valuable playtest time?
But that does not invalidate the "Attacking is Miserable" statement. You don't need to do any combat math.
Creatures could also read:
Tap: deals x damage
Interaction comes down to mulligan...
Of course. I'm not a friend of generalizations either. But I regularly hear eternal players talking about how great eternal formats are, because they never have to buy packs.
And I also...
But companies care about customers. And you say that you are not a customer.
And there are backups for the data in case a server dies. But in the fire case it will be difficult to convince your insurance company about the value of your cards. I don't think that an online...
There are 35921 records if you look up the eternal rankings & ratings. So in theory, it should be enough.
Edit: This of course a very simplified theory. It assumes, that only people who have...
I did exactly this after they announced that Legacy will go online this year. After playing Classic for a few weeks now (Bazaar powered Dredge is unfair) waiting for the Legacy launch I have to say...
Nice find. I will test it. Something like 2 Sphinx and 3 Turtles.
May I ask why?
Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but I have problems against zoo when they play Crypts and Relics because they can always remove the Bridges anyway.
True. To clearify this, I didn't want to suggest Inuition/AK. I play 4 Impulse (or 4 Ponder) and 4 Fact or Fiction.
I'm not a big fan of the Arcane Denial draw engine. I think Intuition/AK is way better as a two card draw combo :wink:
Seriously, this should be Spell Snare or anything that is not Arcane Denial.
...
This. Sometimes I miss Ponder though.
I planed to, but I was on a warmer continent at that time :cool:
OK, but do you really need it. At least in my experience, 4 FoF are enough (and perhaps a Jace for the control mirror) with 4 Ponder or Impulse to get there.
Don't you run into having too much draw...
But it costs :4::u:. I've also seen this card on MTGSalvation but dismissed it as too expensive. I don't understand why you want a draw 3 for 5.
I think if you are playing fetchlands anyway,...
