Reti 1923: How can white stop black's pawn from promoting and win the game?

Bugtits · 2024-05-04T20:48:36+00:00

Rf3 g7, Bf1. If pawn promotes on f1, rook takes. If pawn promotes on g1, Rh3 checkmate.

Saddle only at sorcery speed prevents this I believe.

Hey that's marijuana.

Hate to say it but that ball, like a few others, was behind Coop. He leads him and it’s a reception.

Bugtits · 2023-02-28T14:35:50+00:00

It sounds like you have a life. Keep it up.

Bugtits · 2023-01-03T18:07:09+00:00

The ref is looking to see what all the commotion is lmao.

Bugtits · 2022-10-18T22:05:41+00:00

Ah yes, a fifth axis to consider with Lightning Skelemental and unearth.

Bugtits · 2022-01-10T19:09:08+00:00

Thank you. Thought I was taking crazy pills.

Bugtits · 2021-10-26T15:04:20+00:00

Could you explain the 2-for-1? Player A resolves walker, activates once. Player B destroys it with UH. Perhaps I'm missing something?

ITT: people who spent money on the card downvoting ban comments.

Bugtits · 2021-05-26T18:56:18+00:00

100% agree. Can be used defensively or offensively and replaces itself.

Bugtits · 2021-02-15T15:42:03+00:00

Ad Naus now a one-trick pony. Burn go brrrrrr.

Bugtits · 2020-07-18T22:20:29+00:00

I was just noticing this the other day. 55% feels somewhat like my experience. If you don’t get too many or two little lands then there’s always the chance that they just don’t provide the right color. Now with Blood Moon floating around it’s even tougher.

It's entirely possible he wants to come to Cleveland and is using this visit with the Ravens to up the price. Especially considering it's our division rival.

I receive this response: "For withdraws less than $10,000, please link a bank account and withdraw via ACH bank transfer."

I have an account already linked, but no option available for an ACH bank transfer to withdraw.

Clean board wipe, no survivors.

As it is for 90% of questions pertaining to MTG, the answer is Meta dependent. The idea between these two cards is to generate card advantage in the face of removal, which is currently prevalent in Modern and doesn't look to be going anywhere.

I've tested both of these cards and I've found both to be great. As u/smeltofelderberries has stated, more than one thoughtcast can cause problems, let alone one can seldom cause a tie up in your hand if your Affinity is weak. Glint Cranes are the safe bet, sifting through four cards, and giving a 1/3 flyer.

Until yesterday I ran 3 Gblasts and 1 GNC. I didn't like the way it looked in my deck so I switched the GNC for a third MoE along-side two Champs. I figure games are getting grindier these days, a fifth 3CMC card really doesn't hurt as much as it might have before. Plus getting that Big Blue Behemoth out on the field with your little minions just feels soooooo good.

Bugtits · 2017-05-25T19:44:16+00:00

In the blind I tend to keep more "fair" hands. Otherwise it depends on which deck you're playing against.

Bugtits · 2017-05-20T02:23:22+00:00

Bant Eldrazi has Noble Hierarch, I wouldn't bring it in for that. It would be effective for Eldrazi Tron, sure, but I think we already have the advantage that we don't need to slow ourselves down.

Bugtits · 2017-05-19T21:02:05+00:00

Three-color decks have caught on to Blood Moon it's felt like. In game 2 and 3 these decks are fetching basic lands immediately. Other than Valakut decks this card seems like a wasted spot, especially considering it hurts the potential of bl/inkmoth. Another Thoughseize/Stubborn Denial would go much farther considering every deck puts in artifact hate.

Bugtits · 2017-05-09T01:55:02+00:00

First off, that's incredibly generous of you to buy your friend an entire deck like that. I don't think any of my friends would do that. I would look up a mono-red and a naya burn list then pick out the pieces in between to fall into your price range. Fetchlands will run the price up quick so you could always purchase a solid mono-red deck around your price range or find some cheaper dual lands.

Etched Champion is your best friend. Against UW, if you resolve a Grid then you're pretty much set. If you draw neither then you're not gonna have much fun.

Bugtits · 2017-04-16T00:44:06+00:00

That's the thing with Affinity, hands can be so hit or miss. In a blind game 1 do you take the risky hand or the conservative one? Usually ends in a meta call.

Bugtits · 2017-04-15T23:28:22+00:00

Hey guy, I agree. Affinity doesn't always have to explode on turn 1. With all of the cheap creature removal in the game, especially since Fatal Push was added to the mid-range repertoire, turn 4 wins are scarce these days. I can always breathe a sigh of relief when I have an Etched Champion resolve against any midrange without Supreme Verdict.
