[SCD] True-Name Nemesis

[Fatal]

Embrassing half-final on Washington DC GP - Just TNN vs 2 TNN race.. guess who wins, other to decks are combo (Dredge and Sneak) Sneak passes.


So basically looks like we have 2 types of decks - TNN including and combo XD

Yeah that game was a total joke. Proof of the terribleness of TNN's design.

Well RUG does not play nemesis yet...
But I guess the people saying that nemesis is not format warping will be more quiet.

No RUG in top8 - which can lead to a fact about TNN.

How so? RUG has massive problems against a resolved RiP - something UWR Delver doesn't really care about.

That one game of BUG Shardless vs Esper Stoneblade was a good indicator for the ridiculous powerlevel of TNN - the BUG player had an insane board position and still almost lost to 2x TNN if he hadn't found his Golgari Charm in time.

I'm more suprised we aren't see more Toxic Deluge yet.

Edit: People who are saying that you can race it: The problem isn't a single TNN, but when the second one hits the board. One can easily beat you down while the other one is on blocking duty until you can swing for lethal.

Except for the fact that there was two RUG decks in the top 16, of a 1698 player event...

Where do you get the top16?

Was there a list?

[HammafistRoob]

I'm too lazy to post a link. Just google Grand Prix Washington top 8 and you'll also find the top 16.

EDIT- Okay fine.

Thanks!

Glenn McIelwain (plays at my LGS) finished with 39 points (13-2), (outside of top 8 on tie breaks) was playing RUG, his performance earned him a ticket to PTBNG. I think there were 4 players that were 13-2 that didn't top 8, that all got PT invites.

Especially considering that some of those decks in the Top 16 had the same record as decks in the Top 8, and the only difference was tiebreakers. Places 4 through 11 all had the same number of points after the final round.

By the way, those two RUG Delver decks were #10 and #11 (#9 was BUG Delver).

Anyone got Hatfield's list. I'm guessing it was similar to the top16 BUG list. I was discussing deck options with a friend who went and suggested a list similar to that with Tombstalker and no TNN. He ended up settling on RUG Delver and day 2'd then fizzled out.

[warfordium]

according to the TA thread, Hatfield was on the same list as Nitewolf (aka Dan Signorini): http://www.wizards.com/magic/sampleh...come&decknum=1

[Griselpuff]

Actually, Team Curio TA players all played slightly different TA lists. They were probably 70-73 of the same 75. We had disagreements about Pithing Needle, Stifle, Nature's Claim, Seal of Primodium and Krosan Grip. All of us wanted to play Tombstalker and laugh at TNNs (and play Golgari Charm).

Design-wise yes, TNN is lazy, but here's my defense on why it won't break Legacy...

I think it actually doesn't matter if it breaks Legacy or not. It's a shitty stupid card. It's ass in the face of every magic player. It has to go.

D&T would like to have a word with you. it's neither of these decks and finished first of the swiss...

This. It's not that it is unbeatable, though it odds difficult to beat, it is just stupid in principle.

DnT can say what it likes. I dropped a True-Name in front of a DnT player locally last week. He near on cried because there was Fuck all he could do about it.

So are Golgari Charm, Zealous Persecution, Toxic Deluge and Engineered Plague Main Deck-able now?

[theBloody]

If your meta say so.
