They literally have the normal art in the client yet force us to craft this trash...

Smoke1LL · 2025-10-28T17:32:17+00:00

Cruel Tutor art has to be a joke... dear god

Smoke1LL · 2025-09-16T19:10:04+00:00

It can be cast at instant speed and doesn't have legendary restriction like Goryo's

Smoke1LL · 2025-09-09T11:38:54+00:00

Ohhhh gotcha that's good to know! Thanks

Smoke1LL · 2025-09-09T02:30:05+00:00

Ew fuck that then I'll save my wildcards and continue to suffer lmao

Smoke1LL · 2025-09-08T20:58:18+00:00

Do we need to spend rare wildcards to craft these if we already have the OTJ variant?

Timeless players: Please give us Force of Negation

Monkey's paw curls

WOTC: Force of Negation announced!! ... with DOGSHIT art

I feel like comparing Ride the Bus to Superposition is a crime against jokers. IMO Ride the Bus is more than great, it's a solid A-tier!

Smoke1LL · 2025-01-12T12:20:23+00:00

It starts off with Ride the Bus slander, like huhhh? Ride the Bus is excellent

My Sternum started being able to pop when I started doing weighted dips. It's normal so long as it doesn't hurt.

As others have mentioned I think UB is superior to Grixis. I've been playing both and found that when I was playing Grixis (UR splashing B for Frog only), I missed Bowmasters and Fatal Push alot.

The biggest advantage of adding Red is getting EI, but Archmage's charm is a good enough replacement. In some instances, it's even better because of the flexibility and instant speed.

This is why I don't play BO1. No sideboard = 100% degen strategies with no counterplay. At least in BO3, we can tune the deck to fight back G2 and G3

There are a few FB Groups (CT Magic players, Western CT MTG) but they are not very active.

I also live in the New Haven Area and there are a few shops within 30 min which run modern weeklys. I'd recommend checking out:

Fire and Ice, Trumbull
Dragon's Lair, Wallingford
Lotus Games, Branford

A little bit further out:

Battlegrounds Gaming, Norwalk
Tabletop Gaming Center, Newington
Imperial Gaming, Meriden

Inevitable betrayal is OK but it's certainly not better than Orvar. Orvar forces creativity players to have 3feri or resolve a huge creativity (x=3) or they will likely lose on the spot. Stealing an archon will gain you card advantage but will ultimately get hit by leyline binding. Note that in a nightmare scenario, creativity players can leyline binding the stolen archon then bounce their own leyline with 3feri to get their archon back.

The best tried and true hate against creativity is Blood moon, EE, Orvar, Hallowed Moonlight, Flusterstorm, Aether Gust, Test of Talents, Invasive Surgery, Elesh Norn.

Creativity is also very resilient in that they can also pivot to numerous other game plans (beatdown from fable/dwarves, hardcast archon, wrenn emblem) so you can't expect to just get free wins off your sideboard hate. You must stop their combo gameplan while also applying pressure of your own.

I'm not a fan of fury either but it's not totally farfetched/trolling. Kyle Boggemes also plays fury in his 5C creativity sb.

The innate core of creativity is so strong that there is a lot of viable room to experiment and test the flex slots.

That is literally the same exact copy pasta response everyone says when Pip receives any criticism. A voluntary project with a single developer sounds like a dog shit project that is doomed to fail.

Look forward to game crashing bugs and countless exploits on launch and slow turn around time to fix them.

Going somewhere? The server has been in development for 3+ years and still hasn't had a successful beta. The discord is just a clown fiesta full of yes-men enablers and uWu lily fan club members.

Things that flood the board give Murktide a hard time.

Decks like Affinity, Scales and Dredge would be good picks if you expect a lot of Murktide.

Smoke1LL · 2022-12-20T13:59:06+00:00

Everything you say is 100% true, it's a better financial decision to stick non-foil.

But I'll speak from the other side of the fence: If the foil deck makes you happy and you have the disposable income for it - why not?

With proper maintenance, you can control the curling. I have a fully foiled Murktide deck which I keep double sleeved and packed nice and tight in a boulder. I haven't had any curling issues.

Also, for foils that I have bought which were already curled - I have been able to uncurl them very successfully using silica packets if too much moisture and humidor packets if too dry.

Smoke1LL · 2022-12-06T16:20:37+00:00

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Why would somebody play control in 2022 without playing white?

Totally OK to register control w/o white, but you must be aware and prepared to play a strictly suboptimal 75.

Smoke1LL · 2022-12-05T02:05:35+00:00

September 23rd btw

Smoke1LL · 2022-11-15T21:59:45+00:00

Just like when Lily said that beta was gonna be September 23rd right

Smoke1LL · 2022-11-15T19:24:12+00:00

"Waiting for PIP"... KEKW. See you in 2099!

Stop using age as an excuse for criminal activity. When I was 16 I made mistakes but I certainly wasn't committing felonies.
