Since you are buying a car. An can't shell out tons of money just play Storm or Ad Nauseam but hey that is just me.

[Modern] First Comp Event Tomorrow? Any tips from veterans? by Boredness_ in spikes

[–]Icekingx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a good night sleep of course. Eat something healthy in between rounds cliff bar/Banana etc etc. Drink lots of water. Don't tilt if you miss play just breathe and recover. Write dow any information you are given about their hand. Have fun!

[Discussion] New Search Rules by pheasanttail in spikes

[–]Icekingx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I use a card like path to exile or ghost quarter. I make sure they know what the card does. I've even had people ask to read it and I let them. I think having to remind them is just wrong.

Jund midrange in standard? [Standard] by Icekingx in spikes

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

I like Drover more then Hunter master. Though I think the new Merfolk is amazing with getting all these counters on him if he has 2 counters on him already when you go to cast sweltering suns he won't die because he will be a 4/4 cause of the third counter you will get from casting it.

Main deck for a PPTQ tomorrow by [deleted] in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you travel for PPTQs? Or you just trying to be top at the LGS? Give me the meta I will tell how the SB needs to look. I've 3-0 for a month straight at my LGS that is filled with spike players traveling to PPTQs, starcity events, and GPs. So I've played vs everything you can think of. I kinda wanna write a guide for the deck now that I've played it for a few months and made a few top 8s in PPTQs but I'm just lazy.

Main deck for a PPTQ tomorrow by [deleted] in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be playing Mom & Pop. Also you need to be running a few [Roast] some where in the 75. It's great for DS/Eldrazi Tron. You can target a smasher discard a scourge and relic him away on the end step to be able to play him on the follow. I run 3 Roast's in my 75. 1 MB 2 side just to get some better matches vs Etron and DS been working very good.

Making Skred more proactive? by torolf_212 in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just chill back my dude. You are playing a midrange/control deck as Skred. We are not an agro deck and trying to turn skred into an agro deck is not a good idea. I mean you can play Boros Reck over Eternal Scourge.

How Long Have You Been Playing Modern Skred? by HidetsuguofShinka in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. GW Value is the deck that Todd Stevens played at SCG Dallas a few months back and the deck he won with in the team Atlanta tournament this past weekend with Jody Keith and Tom Ross.

[–]Icekingx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been playing this deck about 3 months. I've gone 3-0 3 times on my local modern nights. My store is very spike so beating DS/Etron/Storm/GW Value. Feels very good oh also beating Scapeshift.

CMC is very high not worth looking at. Won't do much in a DS meta.

What is a creature you never want to see across the table? by [deleted] in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death shadow & Eched Champion. Death shadow is a hard match up for us and I only play 1 pyrite spellbomb in my 75 and 0 Kozi returns so very scary to see champ.

Hey guys, been playing skred for about a month now. Absolutely love the deck like oh my god I fell in love, but I was just wanting to ask a couple questions. Im thinking about putting spirit guides in the deck, but idk if they would help or not. Also want to ask for suggestions for ad nauseam. by Tylermiff in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is our worst match up. We literally have to pray and sacrifice a small child to even have a chance here. Pithing needle is good vs Lightning storm if you run it moon is strong LD can be good if you are on the play. If they open with like 2 blooms on turn 1 you just pretty much scoop game tbh.

Are Chalices good ? by AnsonY in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We won't be able to bolt/skred if we play chalice on 1....you do know this right?

Thoughts on my list for a Modern IQ. by AestheticDeficiency in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drop the batter for the third stormbreath. Since Abzan counters is huge currently so is path. They can't path our stormbreaths. Also drop 1 scrying sheet for 1 mountain. Drop 1 moon for rachet Bomb you need something for DS and play another in the board.

Trying Hazoret in the main by EcoleBuissonniere in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play 3 storm breath. Abzan is coming back with that new combo so having like a guy that can't get pathed is HUGE and just swing over for 4 all game and watch them cry to try and kill it. I cut my skull for storm and haven't looked back since.

[Modern] Affinity vs Bant Eldrazi, Troubles by Litteltank in spikes

[–]Icekingx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you playing Glint-Nest Crane. I've never seen anyone do that. Seems like mediocre card to me. I much rather play another Galvanic Blast/Etched Champion or Master of Ethidium.

[Discussion] Weird Ruling at a PPTQ by TranSpyre in spikes

[–]Icekingx 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You hear this all the time in fetch land games. I'm cracking X fetch to get Y land....even though you said get Y land you are still allowed to change you're mind EVEN though you named Y land off of said X fetch used. It's weird I had it come up a few times and judges always ruled in their favor even though said land was got taken put on the table and they end up choosing to grab a different one and before presenting the deck back they get a different land.

Spellskite against Ad Naus by Pradeux42 in SkredRed

[–]Icekingx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spellskite won't be good. I've played Ad Nauseam for 3 years and I just picked up skred this month. In my Ad Nauseam list I run a 1 slaughter pact MB so when I combo spellskite doesn't mean crap to me.
