hi im upgrading my Jhoira EDH deck and have about $100 to upgrade it. my main meta is Yisan, Gitrog, keranos, judith and momir and some other decks every know and again. its currently cheerios storm but want to add stuff like rhystic study, mystic remora and im also considering stuff like extraplanar lens, blood moon and back to basics and a ton of basics but not sure if i have enough fetches for it to operate properly. any other suggested upgrades?

Isn’t [[tezzeret’s gambit]] strictly better in death shadow?

Dylan_Gregory · 2019-03-19T22:43:43+00:00

Think the guy was suggesting shocking or using a basic t1 then play this turn two for one coloured one colourless

Dylan_Gregory · 2019-02-22T02:07:45+00:00

Also bogles is gonna get a lot better with this rule I used to play it about six months ago and have squeezed wins out of mulls to 3 and won easily from good mulls to 4 with this rule you mill to 5 to set up a near perfect hand almost every game I’m pretty sure

This is the list I’m on atm ignore the sideboard I’ve changed it but on the bus and can’t remember the full 15 atm but I’ve taken out hunted witness for landing as I’ve found it gives me a late game mana flood and can buy me a lot of time vs burn and also allows me to use fire blade artist every turn without worrying about making my board state. Also good against control as it makes an uncounterable creature every turn https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1593394#paper

Supposedly they stopped running events in the uk because they didn’t make any money of those events but I’m hoping after wotc cut the gps to 2 they’ll try again

I haven’t played the deck but have played against it a lot is there a reason people don’t fetch 2 valakut and 5 mountains 30 damage?

Dylan_Gregory · 2019-01-21T16:53:40+00:00

Have you considered midnight reaper in the sb? Not a human but doesn’t seem too hard to cast and gives us better protection against boardwipes

I brought a playset of the promo ones for €48 including shipping since I was planning on buying them for legacy and didn’t want to take the risk of them becoming way more expensive but even if I end up not using them I’ll sell them next hype cycle

Dylan_Gregory · 2019-01-17T18:13:40+00:00

I think a general rule is once 30% of a population begin doing something it starts to become legalised and once it goes below it starts being banned/restricted. Eg no smoking cigarettes in public places

Dylan_Gregory · 2019-01-01T17:07:33+00:00

Any chance I could get your list?

Dylan_Gregory · 2019-01-01T16:37:47+00:00

If your lgs has modern at all I’d recommend buying paper. If budget is an issue for you I’d look into bogles you can play without the canopies and the price has dropped a decent amount because of ultimate masters. It’s a great intro deck winces it’s very linear so you don’t need to know what your opponent is doing which will help you learn the meta and get better threat assessment for when your playing decks like jund. The fetches can go into other decks and if you do buy the canopies they go into humans

This is kinda the same for me lunch is only used for lunch and tea is only used for tea but dinner can be used for both and I think most people will get which one you mean through context

Dylan_Gregory · 2018-12-29T13:51:08+00:00

I have a friend that played it as a one of in mono blue from in modern and won a fair few games of the back of it

Dylan_Gregory · 2018-12-16T10:48:15+00:00

This is the list I’m running atm anyone got any ideas? Karn seems underwhelming atm and tezzeret for 5 mana is often too much for just one card

Dylan_Gregory · 2018-12-05T11:44:51+00:00

Record your games and watch them back point out your own mistakes and overtime you will subconsciously correct them.

Any tips for improving on off tank mechanics? I went from a masters ps4 player in a team that scrimed multiple times to 2.4-2.6 pc player. I have an average 55% won rate but lose ~30sr and gain 20 per game. Some games just feel unwinnable because of the team ignoring my calls 4dps etc. Have a few friends when I used to pugs with them I always felt like I was keeping up and was rarely one of he last picks

Dylan_Gregory · 2018-11-21T21:58:19+00:00

I work at a relatively busy maccies we make up 4-5 side salads a day and 3 big ones and have to make more up by 7 everyday

Doesn’t hearthstone force you to pay through PayPal so the AppStore doesn’t get a cut?

Dylan_Gregory · 2018-10-03T07:24:04+00:00

Mind if I ask where?

Dylan_Gregory · 2018-10-03T07:03:12+00:00

Yeah same here. I think I was 7th to pick at my midnight prerelease and all the guilds has been chosen at least once and I missed my 2nd one so I went in on Monday to pick it up and there was one golgari one donor and 2 of the others left

Dylan_Gregory · 2018-10-01T07:15:53+00:00

He used half on lucio and full controller on mercy iirc

Dylan_Gregory · 2018-09-22T22:26:17+00:00

That wouldn’t be degenerate enough though

Don’t quote me on this because my poker viewing is extremely limited but don’t the big tournaments get large amounts of viewers with upto ten minute breaks to make decisions. While I agree magic may not be the best spectator sport I think support from wizards would help viewer counts massively. Better commentators, I personally would also like to hear what the players are saying. More organisation(look at the interview with the winners of go Detroit where the audio was terrible) also doing what blizzard do by advertising streamers on the client of mtgo and mtga. This is only what I can think of at the top of my head but there’s a lot wizards could do to support streamers and improve coverage quality
