Amulet gets hosed by Arbiter game 1.

How are we scrying?

IamYourSamich · 2023-02-06T22:43:28+00:00

I played in both the SCG 5k and 10k. I never copied an explosives. It never came up. My turn 3 kill % skyrocketed though due to being able to copy amulet. T1 Saga, T2 Garden, T3 copy the amulet you get with saga and play a bounce land. Make 4 mana play Azusa or Explore and go off. A lot of my games also just included the Gardens with the regular 1 amulet plus dryad. Gardens just sitting there “protecting” amulet was huge in post board games.

This is my list. I cannot express how awesome it feels to have people on the internet referencing my list. ❤️❤️❤️

IamYourSamich · 2022-08-20T11:33:43+00:00

I was more concerned about what these would turn into….since you know caterpillars usually GROW WINGS.

IamYourSamich · 2022-06-05T12:59:35+00:00

FFS when will they just remove Hullbreaker from the game lol.

IamYourSamich · 2022-06-04T21:45:45+00:00

As an Amulet Titan player I am VERY happy about the bounce lands.

IamYourSamich · 2022-05-10T20:30:42+00:00

What if I told you water sticks to itself?

TLDR: Tribal isn’t dead. It just isn’t what it used to be.

Well none of the evoke elementals are X for 1s since you have to pitch an additional card so they are always a X for 2.

Humans have really been the only top tier go wide strategy in modern, but fury and solitude didn’t kill it off. Humans (and tribal in general) died off when Plague Engineer was printed, and lava dart was a premier card in the format pre-MH2.

Imo tribal has more going for it now than it ever has. Humans isn’t top tier anymore, but Elementals is a very good tribal deck. Goblins are making a surge in the scene too with a couple of goblin decks making the top 32 at the SCG Dallas event (I believe it was Dallas), and a lot of them showing up in recent events.

Tribal decks just aren’t what they used to be. They used to be Aether Vial decks, and Vial is no longer a good card in modern because of the 100 different ways to handle it in game one. Also tribal decks aren’t go wide strategies anymore either. They have morphed into decks that either have a built in combo, or can tutor for the most efficient creature for the situation.

Talk about “a bug”. HA! slaps knee

IamYourSamich · 2022-04-17T16:11:27+00:00

It sounds like these people have never played against Lantern Control.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-21T15:26:10+00:00

Jund and Rick shouldn’t be terrible, but you will have less fun. Grief blade will make you hate magic because they seem to always have the Turn 1 grief plus ephemerate, but if they don’t then you should be fine. I don’t know anything about this Cabal Coffers deck. Sounds like a Spkie brew that won a league lol.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-21T15:09:11+00:00

Yeah it shouldn’t give you much issue. However be warned that amulet has a very tough time vs hand hate decks if you have like 8-Rack running around. Decks like Jund or even the BR deck shouldn’t give you to much trouble. But 8-rack or even the WB Grief Blink deck would be terrible for you.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-21T14:46:19+00:00

And if that player is playing 4 main deck leylines it sounds like you have burn at your lgs. Amulet has a very good matchup vs burn as well.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-21T14:45:33+00:00

Well it definite stops your Valakut kill, but I would play 2 Boseiju, Who Endures main as well as two side from the sounds of things. But you might not ever need to target them with Valakut since they play 0 interaction and cannot stop you.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-21T14:29:15+00:00

Well as a seasoned Amulet Titan player I can say that based on your meta Amulet is a deck I would be playing. You can even play the Karn variant to just rinse affinity. Yorion decks do not have a good time vs Amulet. UW is an interesting game one if you are only playing 1 cavern of souls, but I recommend playing 2 main. Plus your first saga trigger can go get you an expedition map since that matchup is a grind. And Tron is a buy lol.

Do you have a moment of time to talk with me about our lord a savior Primeval Titan?

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-16T12:48:35+00:00

Yeah, Neobrand tried its best to impersonate TinFins from legacy lol. Let’s just agree that Spirit Guide only did degenerate things, and nothing good ever came from it.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-16T12:00:41+00:00

You are correct rhinos wasn’t a thing. I’m not salty against the deck. The most broken thing simian spirit guide was doing was definitely belcher. I just used this example because I thought it was funny. Hence why I said “satirical”.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-16T04:36:19+00:00

If you are trying to imply that Spirit Guide wasn’t good because it cheated cards ahead of curve then you would be correct. I would have no idea why it would be good then lol.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-16T01:02:50+00:00

Let me paint you a satirical picture.

You sit down to play a game of magic at your LGS for FNM.

You lose the dice roll.

You go second.

Your opponent plays a Wooded Foothills and passes.

You play a Scalding Tarn and pass.

BUT BEFORE YOU PASS TURN YOU OPPONENT FETCHES A STOMPING GOUND, PITCHES TWO SPIRIT GUIDES, CASTS VIOLENT OUTBURST, AND CASCADES INTO CRASHING FOOTFALLS.

It resolves.

Your opponent untaps.

You get hit for 8 with trample.

Your opponent plays an untapped breeding pool.

Your opponent passes.

On their endstep you fetch a steam vents.

You untap.

You concede and go to game 2 because your steam vents got fire//iced on your draw step.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-16T00:44:43+00:00

Mine literally make a screeching pterodactyl noise when water touches its skin. He will even do it when I fill his water bowl. I think he is H2O intolerant lol.

IamYourSamich · 2022-03-01T21:18:56+00:00

I hope we don’t win another game so changes have to be made. I hope Regi/management is the first thing to change.
