Gathering some Magics

Obā-san · 2012-01-20 21:00:38

You and your hard-ons.

Idler · 2012-01-20 21:00:45

Yeah, he could, but then the non-Infect creatures aren't going to be helping very much.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 21:02:37

okay.

I have added some more plague monsters (I am hoping these Plague Myr things work well).

Wish me luck.

BANZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI

*is probably going to die*

Bunny · 2012-01-20 21:04:55

To be honest, Idler's right. All infect or no infect.

Infect is indeed fun, though~

Gelzo · 2012-01-20 21:05:30

That just means get rid of the non-infect creatures.

Idler · 2012-01-20 21:06:25

My Stalked Prey infect deck is neat, although it might become obsolete with the release of DKA, given the existence of Increasing Savagery and whatnot.

Bunny · 2012-01-20 21:13:02

Oh, and I like Hand of the Praetors.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 21:13:29

well I won because my opponent could not figure out how to use Cockatrice and forfeited the game while he figures it out.

Yay?

Idler · 2012-01-20 21:18:59

YOU ARE THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER

-hands Globe a pro tour certificate-

Gelzo · 2012-01-20 21:21:38

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 21:22:01

FUCK YEAH, NOW I GET THE MTG BITCHES

wait....

I don't want those D:

Bunny · 2012-01-20 21:26:09

Well, you wouldn't be able to get Alyssa Bereznak!

...Not that you'd want her...

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 21:36:27

List of Superglobe's noob mistakes:

1: Include no counterspells of any kind whatsoever

Idler · 2012-01-20 21:41:44

Death: Oh man, I remember that story. What an awful woman.

Bunny · 2012-01-20 21:41:51

You had almost no blue anyway.

Hell, you could've gone monoblack.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 21:42:22

yeah, but I mean.

I have nothing to counter enchantments and so on with.

At all.

Not a single card.

Bunny · 2012-01-20 21:44:36

Eh.

Black doesn't really have much enchantment removal.

...If any at all.

Green and White do, though.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 21:47:22

Yeah but now my one creature can't attack cuz it's got Bonds of Faith or some shit on it.

I'm actually doing okay for a first run though. Currently the only real threat to me on the field (a Golem Token) has been rendered useless by my Skinrender (pun unintentional).

Bunny · 2012-01-20 21:49:09

It happens.

You want enchantment removal, you go for Green/White. Or Blue, for counterspells.

Alternatively, Ratchet Bomb~

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 21:49:48

I'm doing alright for a first run, I think, though.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 22:12:16

>cast Contagion Engine

>all but one of your opponent's creatures go to the grave.

I am still probably going to lose, but that made me feel awesome. B)

Bunny · 2012-01-20 22:43:32

Hey, so

Liquimetal Coating

Splinter

Target a basic land

This works, yes?

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 22:48:23

Well I lost by a lot.

Haven · 2012-01-20 22:57:39

^^ Yep. I think Gelzo made a deck around that a while ago.

millercross · 2012-01-20 22:59:08

Saigyouji did that to me once. It sucked. A lot.

Obā-san · 2012-01-20 23:08:15

Ok, that is fucking awesome. I wanna make a really grief-y deck now.

Haven · 2012-01-20 23:15:33

Heh, from Arc-Slogger's comments:

You're red. If you were going to use those cards you were going to lose.

millercross · 2012-01-20 23:15:35

i swear to god, i'll fucking choke you if you do that to me

or just counter the spell

either of

Obā-san · 2012-01-20 23:18:30

LIKE A BAWS

millercross · 2012-01-20 23:19:37

I love how Laboratory Maniac pretty much created a new archetype right away. In fact, I really like alternate win conditions. It's a shame that my Barren Glory deck never got anywhere from the hilarious concept I came up with it.

Haven · 2012-01-20 23:23:29

Mm. Poking around on Gatherer in that direction led me to Leveler and then Mirror of Fate. :3

Although I guess that's pretty much just Doomsday.

Bunny · 2012-01-20 23:57:47

Love this flavor text. Love it.

Haven · 2012-01-21 00:05:07

So meta.

I'm in a weird enough mood that this is probably my favorite flavor text right now:

Bunny · 2012-01-21 00:07:17

Hehehe, flavor text.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-21 00:13:04

I love the utterly random "draw a card" tacked on to the end there.

millercross · 2012-01-21 00:26:00

this is till the worst pun

Obā-san · 2012-01-21 00:28:40

Haven writes Magic flavor text? :O

millercross · 2012-01-21 00:40:49

I wouldn't put it past Haven to do something like that.

Also, Jaya motherfucking Ballard time

Bunny · 2012-01-21 00:46:40

millercross · 2012-01-21 00:49:18

I love how that led to:

Although she kinda sucks, but whatever

Bunny · 2012-01-21 00:51:29

And the slightly sillier card of

Obā-san · 2012-01-21 00:54:08

What are some no duh deck staples for each color?

Haven · 2012-01-21 00:57:29

Depends on the deck, but: Lightning Bolt, Llanowar Elves, Swords to Plowshares, Counterspell and Go for the Throat.

Although she kinda sucks, but whatever

¿How so? She's a 2/2 for 2, no drawback, and she can save any creature from any sort of death, be it sacrifice, damage, -1/-1 counters, etc., without needing to invest extra mana or wait for summoning sickness to wear off.

Obā-san · 2012-01-21 00:58:47

She can even save Hans.

Also: The art from counterspell makes me think of the Zelda CDI games.

millercross · 2012-01-21 01:00:18

well, i was more thinking from a general perspective. it's a good card, of course. but i definetly wouldn't make her a general. Mostly because, well, increasing costs and stuff.

Haven · 2012-01-21 01:03:40

Oh. Not as good as a general as she is in general, but even there she has a lot going for her: she starts out cheap, it's easy to reuse the effect, she'll almost never get controlled or tucked or locked down by Arrest, she can help you take advantage of ETB stuff...hmm.

Bunny · 2012-01-21 01:06:40

Of course, nowadays, Cancel instead of Counterspell. And Swords to Plowshares isn't really around anymore.

White has Pacifism. And O-Ring. Black has Doom Blade if you'd rather do that instead of go for the throat.

Green has...well, I like Fog. And Naturalize is handy.

Obā-san · 2012-01-21 01:11:29

Whee, Deck build:

4 X Underground Sea
4 X Creeping Tar Pit
1 X Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
2 X Dismember
2 X Sunken Ruins
8 X Swamp
2 X Thirst for Knowledge
6 X Island
3 X Blighted Agent
4 X Hand of the Praetors
4 X Plague Stinger
2 X Inexorable Tide
2 X Contagion Engine
1 X Contagion Clasp
2 X Core Prowler
4 X Tezzeret's Gambit
3 X Phyrexian Juggernaut
2 X Phyrexian Obliterator
4 X Go for the Throat
3 X Counterspell

How much does it suck, and how can I make it not suck?

Viani · 2012-01-21 01:16:58

Nice

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-21 01:17:04

okay.

Literally a third of my deck is lands (actually a bit over a third), and I seem to be completely incapable of drawing them.

What. the. fuck.
