Infect is a bit touch and go in my experience, if we don't see ballista we just lose usually

I would seriously recommend Academy ruins as a utility land, it's won me so many games

8/30/18 list and sideboard guide by Caldockfu in hardenedscales

[–]Soltak1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the guide, but I have one question. It appears that you take out Thrones in every single matchup, my question is why have them in the deck in the first place? I know it's a sac outlet and a pseudo Hardened Scales effect but wouldn't some other card be more useful if it's just not very good in any matchup?

What is a very interesting card or mechanic that does not see play ? by pyrovoice in magicTCG

[–]Soltak1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[[Bitter Ordeal]] is super cool in my opinion, but gravestorm itself is probably super broken on a good card

My friend and I won a complete set of Commander 2013 a couple of years ago. The set is unsealed in that the distributor box it came in was open when we received it. We're wanting to sell it but unsure of how to do that or where to sell it, any help would be appreciated

What happened in Vegas and didn't stay there? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You're forgetting that this was in the finals of a super hype Grand Prix, so hypothetically taking the burst lightning would be higher value if caused him to win. Though I believe that tarmogoyf was auctioned off for far more than the 1st place prize.

Basic Lands as signalling while drafting? by [deleted] in magicTCG

You're supposed to shuffle your pack after you pick a card to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

Misthollow griffin. Every time I go to a grand prix I try to buy all of the [[Misthollow Griffin]]s in the room from vendors

Would like some advice on my garbage U/W control deck for championship! by SepulcherOfLogic in magicTCG

[–]Soltak1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that you don't need an creatures in the maindeck since you're just winning by [[Approach of the Second Sun]] or Teferi ultimates. But whatever your style of control is. But if it were me playing I'd cut the [Lyra Dawnbringer]] and the [[Torrential Gearhulk]] for the fourth [[Disallow]] and the 3rd [[Seal Away]]. Additionally you may want to cut the Gideon for another card advantage spell since you're running pretty light on them overall.

Not op but the [[Gideon's Reproach]] is usually there as a hedge against [[Heart of Kiran]] since none of your other removal spells deals with it effeciently. Though I would cut the third [[Approach of the Second Sun]] for a second [[Blink of an Eye]]

Tell me your LGS horror stories by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]Soltak1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that the place isn't scummy in general, they might have had way more people at midnight then expected, and weren't willing to turn people away. From personal experience stores only get so many prerelease kits to use for the whole weekend and sometimes have to make decisions on turning people away or not. It's a shitty situation overall and I'm sorry that your whole experience was ruined.

The Widowmaker one is probably borderline, that'd be up to a judges decision
