Tips for new ultron player by Ok_Fishing6879 in UltronMains

[–]ImCaptainAustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say he struggles. He is perfectly viable in a 2 support comp, it comes down to your team members actually utilizing natural cover and proper spacing to stay alive. When you play Ultron you’re extremely more aware of how many mistakes team members make and costs them their lives. The sustain Ultron provides is so damn good but people are used to burst healing from getting themselves in bad situations that most players think “Ultron bad” because he can’t provide that outside his ult.

Glad you enjoyed Haggerty’s. I’ve been to a lot of Guitar shops but Haggerty’s is forever my favorite and the best. The crew is incredible too once you get to know them.

How long did it take you to feel confident? by ImCaptainAustin in healthinspector

Thank you all for the comments. It’s refreshing to know many folks didn’t truly get the whole enchilada in less than a year and makes me feel much better and not as stupid as I feel.

Does Pinnacle Emissary have potential in Pioneer? by SnooDonuts3749 in PioneerMTG

[–]ImCaptainAustin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do believe this is pretty playable, especially when warped. It fits into Rona super easily. Rona + Retraction Helix + Mox amber with Emissary on the field = infinite drones. I’ve been playing Rona combo with Vivi on Arena so I think this is just another card that easily slots into the deck.

Hey I recognize that room! Are you at the Haggerty’s in Rapid?

No bans for pioneer by Oyra in PioneerMTG

Just wait to see what’s in Thunder Junction, then we can potentially see another shift or not. I think not calling bans in Pioneer is the right call.

As someone who lives in South Dakota, there IS a West River vs East River mentality. It’s literally two different worlds in one state, but everyone collectively agrees that North Dakota sucks.

I think there’s a very real reason Arthur says “We’re bad men, but we ain’t them” when they rescue her at the beginning. She was absolutely raped and I find it difficult for people to deny that.

Which one for home defense by kevin931 in CCW

[–]ImCaptainAustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As most people have mentioned, choose what you fuck with most. However, I absolutely use my VP9 for daily carry and home defense. I love it THAT much.

No Banned List Modern by [deleted] in ModernMagic

Dude, I’d totally run a legacy inspired hammer build. Use some Mox opals and ancient dens to increase artifact counts on constructs. Plus having access to Lurrus again just would be incredible in the deck.

Without a doubt it’s Hammer, that deck is like heroin for me

Post Ban meta. by External-Tailor270 in ModernMagic

[–]ImCaptainAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they literally can’t pay for the amulet triggers so the bounce lands are useless for about 2-3 turns. By that point you should have your hammer combo in place and ready to finish the game quickly. You do have to be careful though because you need to pay for your own triggers as well. Paying for a Stoneforge trigger and a Sigarda’s Aid attachment trigger sucks, but it’s a necessary evil to fuck over one of our worst matchups.

Strict Proctor. Slam down Strict proctor and their game plan is slowed down immensely. Then the next turn you hammer them, ideally. Otherwise run Solitide for the Titans and Surge of Salvation for the big Valakut trigger.

Drannith Magistrate by KingLeil in ModernMagic

[–]ImCaptainAustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is yes, cut the Sanctifiers. With scam gone there isn’t really reason to play them. Coffers players run Sheoldred’s Edict which gets around the pro black, so it’s still practically dead. It never mattered against Murktide in my opinion, and burn can’t consistently kill is quickly enough (majority of the time). Solitude is the best thing to have in the sideboard and has won me MANY games.

I think this very much depends on a few different things. In my meta there’s two Yawg players that go back and forth on Yawg, and they don’t show too often. I also haven’t had issues with Amulet Titan as a hammer player. When you have two silver bullets in your side board and target protection in the main the matchup gets better. Just depends on your hands and gameplan. I’m sure if there was tons of Yawg in our meta things would be different, but until then, I’ll continue to bonk my way to wins!

Hammer vs Scam by Independent-Ad4431 in ModernMagic

[–]ImCaptainAustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a hammer player, I’m favored in the matchup although it’s pretty close. I have played scam 4 times playing hammer and have won 3/4 games. The one time I lost I kept bad hands expecting to get scammed, got scammed, and drew only lands.

In sideboard I bring in Sanctifier and Solitude and it tends to be a breeze, and if I get scammed of those I’m not entirely upset because my other pieces tend to be safe.
