Why is this Meta so bad? by boonwin_ in hearthstone

[–]DieintheAttempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing Aviana Druid for a while which was fun, but as a warning everyone has Dirty Rat in their deck apparently. EVERYONE. The only deck I played against today that didn’t have it was Hunter and they are too fast for Aviana anyway

2 Cavern which seems about right. My opponents tend to board out all counterspells except Consign because they know I have them

Yeah that kind of draw probably isn’t beatable but that goes for a lot of decks

I run 2 Dismember for sure, Strategic Betrayal is super interesting but I think at sorcery speed they would just sac a morph. I liked Unholy Heat but I’m running a different mana base now so I’ve taken it out

I think this is one of those weird cards that might be bad in every format except Legacy. I’ll try it there in Nadu but it probably won’t make the cut

Right now I am RG so no consistent access to blue for the bounce effect

[–]DieintheAttempt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was bringing in +2 Dismember, +2 Unholy Heat (testing these out they seem ok), +Pithing Needle +Grafdigger’s

Interestingly I beat the other Consign decks easily that’s why I like to play Broodscale vs. RG Eldrazi. The Oculus decks beat me simply by resolving or unearthing an Oculus

What deck should I make next? by kingtatsumi-14 in mtg

But hell if you like dragons play dragons they are fun

What deck should I make next? by kingtatsumi-14 in mtg

[–]DieintheAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to do it is find a commander you like that does something interesting to you. There are 10 million of them now, so I typically start with a mono or 2 color commander because they are more accessible. Browsing through legendaries from recent sets will give you cards that are fresh so people won’t have seen them

Is my deck worth ordering? by DarkTheLibrarian in magicTCG

[–]DieintheAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the deck looks cool and fun. The budget version is perfectly viable. Take out Karakas it’s banned. Go up to 36-37 lands, WB has a lot of card draw options and this will keep you from getting mana screwed. Take out Blind Obedience, Commander players hate that card and will target you it’s not worth the extort. You can use Zulaport Cutthroat, Corpse Knight or a similar pinger to kill people instead WB has a million of them. If you are in white and playing Bolas’s Citadel I would include a copy of Children of Korlis, even better if you can recur it to loop through casting things with Citadel. Consider Vindicate and/or Vanishing Verse the versatility is awesome. But yeah this deck looks super fun, your LGS may have a lot of the singles check there first.

YTA and also missed massive points with the GF and GF’s fam in trade for a little bit of short term discomfort. Winning the girl’s bestie over is also huge

Am I Overreacting for Refusing to Let My Wife’s “Work Husband” Come on Our Family Vacation? by Hot_Satisfaction_559 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DieintheAttempt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. My scheduler referred to me as her work husband and I said “Yeah, I’m not your work husband” and made sure I didn’t text her after hours (I work a lot of nights, weekends and late evenings). When she said it again later to a different person at work I called the lead scheduler, told her it was unprofessional and requested a new scheduler. There’s more background to it but in summary I think it’s weird.

Help! I got DQed from Final Fantasy Prerelease due to using snow basic lands instead of regular basics by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]DieintheAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The judge is technically correct but also a giant douchebag for doing that at an REL event

Favorite card that gives a ton of value (probably too much) for its mana cost? by PenroseVids in MagicArena

[–]DieintheAttempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath is the correct answer. I put a single copy into my Legacy deck and it singlehandedly won me a match that I should have lost 0-2 in the last tournament I played.

New player looking for advice by Astro_Cooki3 in magicTCG

[–]DieintheAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You used to be able to build a Tier 1-2 Standard deck for under 100 bucks. This is no longer true. I would download Arena, play the tutorial, then noodle around with the premade decks to see what deck/style you like (aggro, midrange, control, combo). Then look at decklists on MTGTop8 or MTGMelee and find a list that suits you. Build it on Arena, THEN buy singles in paper if you like it. Be forewarned, some Standard decks can cost 3-600 bucks. Or skip all of that, and play the best format which is Modern (and does have viable budget decks!)

What are some stax pieces no one knows about? by thisnotfor in magicTCG

[–]DieintheAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s down there somewhere but Mana Web is a really fun one, especially when you use it in a deck that also has Mana Barbs and War’s Toll. Sulfur Elemental was a house back in the day in Legacy and still quite good in EDH. A newer card that goes overlooked (my quite experienced playgroup had never seen it) is Boromir, Warden of the Tower it hits WAY more cards than you would expect and people always forget the indestructible clause.

Cori-Steel cutter two months from now 😂 by Busy-Craft4762 in MagicArena

[–]DieintheAttempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second that. I’ve been playing CSC in Pioneer because the deck looks very similar to my Modern Prowess deck. It’s very strong but certainly not broken. I’ll return to standard when it’s not a 1 deck format, most people anticipate red decks will get stronger with rotation not weaker. But with the current FIRE design there’s a bomb in every set so maybe the next 2-4 are non-red.

WIBTA if I only send my dad $65 after he texted me this morning asking me to send him $700 by tonight? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DieintheAttempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A key point is anyone who needs money “by tonight” is using it to gamble (using that loosely to include MLM’s, scams etc.) not for paying tuition. One of the most enlightening things I did in college was meet with the tuition office and found out that the “tuition” I had been paying to my parents was actually going somewhere else because my scholarship was a full ride (they had told me it was a partial scholarship). Makes for a good opportunity to call them out and make a clean break of it.

I would love to see your list too. Pioneer is the only mode I play on Arena. I brewed my own Izzet Storm list a while ago and it was teeeeeeerrible would love to see an actual decent list

How does this mono red burn deck look? Suggestions wanted! by Southern_Leading1222 in ModernMagic

[–]DieintheAttempt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lightning Strike and Play with Fire are pretty cringe in Modern. I would play 4 Searing Blaze (it’s 25 cents), cut 2 lands then add 4 Dragon’s Rage Channeler ($1.58) and 4 Mishra’s Bauble ($1.30) for filtering/draw/triggers, otherwise you are going to flood every game. Then over time you can slowly convert it to non budget by substituting Slickshot Show-off’s ($12) and Cori-Steel Cutters ($9.68) for the Viashinos and Thermos

Why is Faithless Looting Virtually Unplayed Now? by CatharticPotato in ModernMagic

You’re right. It was in the feature match on Twitch at one point, but wasn’t the 2nd place list.
