It did take me a min to figure out why I couldn't find my much older posts but when I went digging I found the reason. This is my 2nd profile here, my 1st I had long ago forgotten the password to and...
this isn't the 1st goblin thread. Pretty sure it isn't even the 2nd. Might be the 3rd. but my earlier posts on goblins go back many years now and at least 1 thread of over 200 pages ago. To give...
GoboLord,
You do miss 1 very important detail (likely because you were rushing to post a rude comment without thinking); on your 2nd turn when you are wanting to swing with a Lackey, ANY blocker...
there have always been 1 and 2 toughness creatures out there to kill and its not like Goyf has gone away.
I must say I feel vindicated. It only took 5 or 6 years but when Lorwyn was printed, and without a second thought, I put 3 Tarfires (some times 4) in my deck, and nearly everyone said it was a crap...
I have to wonder if part of the difference in our views comes from our different play styles and how it effects our general board positions. For me to do a turn 1 (on the draw) Smallpox is...
Pox is control by default. It clearly isn't a combo deck and if you call it aggro, it is the slowest aggro deck out there.
I wont debate TombsS, I've done it numerous times in the past, you can...
Nothing makes a deck popular faster then a few high profile wins. But confusing or attempting to correlate "good" with "popular" only leads you to false assumptions such as:
The deck is the only...
benefits from playing "empty handed" and drawing more cards are not mutually exclusive. If CScroll is the argument against using card draw then I remind: 1) you that you are playing cards that cause...
Pox has the same 2 problems (1 semi-small, 1 huge) today it has had for the 18 years since it was printed.
1) The semi small problem is finishing the game. Oddly enough this has gotten worse as...
"grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change,
he courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference"
Let me give you a hint: we lose to Sneak Attack/Show...
I would have to ask exactly how are you judging it? If viewed as a pay 2, draw 2 card at instant speed, almost any color deck could and many would play that. The only drawback is the discard. I...
I've seen it played but my thought is all the decks you would really need it against, at 3cc, its too slow to get out.
I would say yes, but I only run 4 now anyway, 4 Hellsparks.
ok, without digging around for my logic textbook to figure out exactly how the formula would be it would work something like this...
If I remember correctly in an older post you said each land you...
Against most aggro-ish creature I will hold back a bit as well, making sure I have something for problematic creatures until i either A) have a sweeper in hand, or B) enough damage in hand to kill...
See my previous post. The 1 just above where you said that...
As for something new, I have started testing Risky Bet and have found it to be solid addition! I am running 3. Yes, I get a few...
I said "This gives you a chance to cast", I didn't say it was a good chance. Really the only likely time I could see a double Risky paying off is if I got a FireBlast off the 1st to resolve. I...
I already thought about the 2 Risky's in hand. If you find yourself in that position keep in mind that they are instance, Cast 1, cast 2nd in response. The card does NOT say "as part of the...
followed by...
While I agree with Jares in general, if ever there is going to be printed a playable draw card for a Burn, I think this is it.
I had to go find it because I had not seen...
This isn't a problem. Its at best a speed-bump. Leyline is a problem, CB w/ Top is a problem. Active Jitt/Batterskull/SoFI are problems. Even Kitchen Finks are problems, just smaller problems. ...
I have no issue with Chandra's Phoenix but your discounting of the importance of preventing life gain. Most of the decks that can gain life have the ability MD, that is the biggest reason for...
Just noticed Burn is no longer a DTB...
Saw that coming.
Now we can go back to being the red-headed stepchild every ignores and take our victories a few at a time and try not to get noticed.
I'm as open minded to exploring new cards as anyone, but this thing has no chance in Burn. Even if he was good, or even great, how is burn going to protect a Planewalker that comes into play with 2...
Questionable content deleted. Shit's kinda over the top, and I suspect you know it. Try to keep it civil. -zilla
Ok, I'll try again... murder, in short, is the unlawful killing of another human...
