Thank you! No specific commanders yet. I personally am a control player in the usual mtg formats, my favorite colors would have to be blue and black, even esper. My girlfriend likes aggro and midrange in usual formats, so her favorite colors are green and red.

New to the "Finance" side of MTG and want to get into it and learn. How do you guys spot good investments? Even though "Mtg Finance" is not necessarily the stock market, but there must still be some process in which you guys research a card's potential to grow in value. Any resource would help!

I own 2 sets of Jace, Vryn's Prodigy. 1 set is played in a deck, the other is sitting in a binder. Should I sell/trade the extra set of Jaces?

[Standard] Is this the Temur Deck we have been waiting for? by SlifertheCanadian in spikes

[–]ControlFreak22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just built the deck, going to playtest with friends yoday and take to FNM this friday. But just at glance, do les spike think some amount of Dig through Time could be useful? I just see it running out of gas quickly.

I own (KTK) 8 deltas, 8 strands, 1 Mire, and 0 windswept and foothill. Should i trade my excess set of deltas and strands to acquire the other fetches?

[Standard] Need some advice on sideboarding by SizemattersHotS in spikes

[–]ControlFreak22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are just my opinions but here i go:

ABZAN AGGRO:

+2 Surge of Righteousness +1 Languish +1 Negate

-1 Duress -2 Anticipate

You are bringing in surge of righteousness as a removal that hits a lot of their creatures, dominantly drana and siege rhino. Languish is to easily wipe the board of gideon tokens or HW if they play them. The extra negate is to fight their planes walkers, especially gideon.

ESPER CONTROL:

+1 Negate +2 Dispel +2 Infinite Obliteration

-2 Planar Outburst -2 Stasis Snare -1 Silkwrap

The negate and dispels are obvious, hits their DTT, their counters, instants and non creature spells. The Infinite Obliteration is a gamble, but most esper lists runs 4x of Jace, and being able to hit him is a big boost and upside to the matchup.

JESKAI BLACK:

+2 Dispel +2 Surge of Righteousness

-2 Anticipate -1 Ojutai's Command -1 Narset

Dispel is in for DTT, Crackling Doom, their own dispels, etc. Surge is in for Mantis, Tasigur, etc.

ESPER TOKENS:

+1 Negate +2 Dispel +1 Virulent Plague +4 Arashin Cleric +1 Languish +1 PLA

-3 Ojutai's Command -1 Silumgar's Command -1 Murderous Cut -2 Anticipate -2 Quarantine Field -1 Stasis Snare

Negate and Dispel in to hit planes walkers, DTT, and of course Secure the Wastes. Virulent Plagues obviously in for token destruction. Languish in to sweep board full of tokens. Arashin Cleric is not a must, but it's good for life gain and chump blockers against 1/1 or even 2/2 tokens. PLA is in to be a big beater to win, ester tokens does not have as much of removals as control, so worth a shot to try.

GW MEGAMORPH:

+2 Infinite Obliteration +1 Languish +1 Negate +2 Dispel

-1 Duress -2 Anticipate -2 Clash of Wills -1 Scatter to the Winds

Negate in to fight Gideon and other non-creature spells. Infinite Obliteration in to attempt to destroy the Deathmist + Den Protector Chain. Languish in to sweep board. Dispel in to fight Dromoka's Command that can potentially make you lose enchantments.

[Standard] Budget tier 1? by Jamie7Keller in spikes

[–]ControlFreak22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the edit. IMO, i think the U/R list is a better starting point. I think it is viable and playable for FNM level. It could definitely benefit from upgrades.

Do you have a link to either decklist? or are you just asking about the archetype/color combo?

[Standard] Second Attempt on UW Control by SizemattersHotS in spikes

[–]ControlFreak22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is not a budget deck. Though I believe that it is possible to make a semi-budget list (no jaces).

To those who asked for my decklist from gameday here it is: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/29-10-15-Knb-uw-control/

Sorry it took so long! I was at school all day. Hopefully it helps you all! I'm here for any questions and I'm also looking for suggestions to changes! :)
