to run less than 24 lands in a standard deck you want to look at your curve and what the aim of the deck is. an aggro deck with a low curve of say 4 mana can run 20 lands but your odds of getting land in your opening hand go down significantly. i don't think i would run less than 22 even in a low cu...

i have updated my list too

guys in your opinion whats the optimal card to shut down in the human reanimator deck with slaughter games. unburial rites or angel of glorys rise ?

was doing ok at fnm tonight. 2-1 going into final round and was drawn against a player known to be not very good and they were running that pain in the ass human reanimator infinite mill combo deck. i really hate losing to decks like that, any idiot can win with it. there is no skill required.

Ok Mill exists as a win condition because the rules state that during a players draw step, if they have no cards in their library they lose the game. so if you mill them out and they have 0 cards they could still possibly win if they have an instant speed spell or ability that can hit your life tota...

the first thing you want to do is add nephalia drownyards to your land base. you also do not want to run guildgates in a standard deck. you are only in 2 colors here so mana fixing is not really a 'major' concern. if you can replace the guildgates with either watery grave, or drowned catacomb.if you...

yeah i wish they just changed the legend rule and left planeswalkers alone. what makes planeswalkers interesting to me is you have to weigh the options between using their + ability and try and move towards the ultimate or use the - abilities. its a good risk/reward dynamic. the new rule destroys that

lol i was tapping to block for my first 6 months before someone actually told me i didn't need to

so this is the deck i am planning to run for the gameday. feedback welcome. the general idea is a creature heavy aggro deck where every turn whatever i play makes something else bigger. for the first few turns anyway. 4x Corpsejack menace 3 Exava Rakdos blood witch 4x Gyre Sage 3x Lotleth Troll 4x R...

i ran predators rapport in my creature aggro deck for a long time and not once did it help me win. i would on average gain 16+ life and still lose because you are going to use rapport when you are way behind but unless you are able to play something to deal with his threats its a waste of a card imo...

First impression of the rules changes: I'm not sure how I feel about the Legendary change. I want to see how it works out. It does move that rule closer the way that I'd design it (not that that way it best), in that in my version, the most recent version to come into play trumps all others (as leg...

i like the legendary rule change. too many times have i taken a huge tempo hit because my opponent has the same legendary creature and he plays his as a removal spell to kill mine. i dont like that. i think this will make games more fun. the indestructible changes make sense too. the sideboard chang...

that was funny as always. also great to see brad(and ash) in a LRR vid again

ooooh i like this guy

was just in a standard match testing a deck which has domri rade and 25 creatures in the deck. i got domri out and used his +1 7 times and every single fucking time it was a land. was so annoying. lol

grave of the fireflies. that movie fucking wrecked me. i watched it on my own one night while the wife was away and i was miserable afterwards. had to go stick something funny on straight away. now if anyone ever tries to tell me animation/anime is for kids i tell them to watch this and then try an...

yeah i agree i dont think we will be seeing fetches in theros. would not be surprised to see them in the block after that though

so mtgsalvation have collated all the confirmed cards for m14/d14 and added more updates. some really fun limited cards there. no sign of the M14 mechanic yet, WOTC obviously keeping that under wraps for another while what catches your eye http://www.mtgsalvation.com/m14-spoiler.html oh and congrats...

went 2-2 at fnm tonight and missed out on prizes by 1 point. easily won my 1st 2 games 2-0 and was feeling really good as it was the first time running this deck and it was even missing some key cards and shocks. lost 3rd match by a long way, and only narrowly lost 4th game and would have won but ha...

srsly wizards at this rate you will have very little left to spoil come "official" spoiler season. the latest leak/spoiler https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/13353_474063529343182_140343660_n.jpg you really want to mono red or at most 2 colors with gates/duals for splas...

thats the symbol from the DOTP game dude. DOTP 2013 cards all had D13 and 2012 had D12...etc this is why I think we are seeing spoilers so early. it may be very early for M14 spoiler season but if its anything like last year duels will be out a few weeks before the physical set, so it could be out i...
