[Let's Bitch About] Show and Tell

[android]

If you're going the Glowrider route, why not bring in islands and stack your deck with Cursecatcher and Spellstutter Sprite along with Thorn of Amethyst. You wouldn't have game against Zoo, Merfolk or Goblins but you'd make it incredibly inconvenient for many decks to play their spells. You could even include Thopter/Foundry in the deck.

Worst idea ever?

Why does everyone assume the SNT player is able to drop Hive Mind w/ Pacts on turns 2-3 every game?

Because people like to justify combo being broken and unfair by only considering the nut draws. You never hear somebody complain about the time TES kept a handful of cantrips and sculpted into the win on the fourth turn, you hear about the time they went T1 Ritual, Ritual, LED, Tutor, Ad Nauseam, pwnage.

I am thoroughly unconvinced with all of the whining going on in this thread. If anyone wants to call out the player skill of my opponent's, I'd like to call out the simplicity of playing the deck.

QFT. As has been said before, people hate combo, and people hate having to adapt to beat it.


EDIT: Also,

I pretty much only play Aggro, and I don't hate combo, I just accept losing to it, then take the opportunity provided by a 5-minute round to go get sauced on Margaritas across the street. I hate control way more because the matches take forever and I am an impatient alcoholic.

At least you're honest.

Honestly, would you rather play spells into a counter wall or drink margaritas?

That's not even a fair question. Ban playing spells obv.

There is so much awesome in these posts. I think I know what to do the next time I lose to fast combo.

[Richard Cheese]

Had to do it. Sorry guys.
