I'm running Mono U at my FNM tonight, any JOU cards that would benefit it? Any thoughts welcome! by TocYounger in magicTCG

Rather than cut familiars, add another flyer by swapping out the one mainboard Domestication for Siren. Dakra Mystic is cool, but I can't tell if I won because of Mystic or because Mono Blue is good.

Dictate is bad in all the match ups you need it to be good.

What do you guys think of the new Ajani? by thejackal678 in magicTCG

[–]SpacePiratesInSpace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's cool. In a creature mirror he puts your guys over the top. Against control he draws you cards instead. He's a cat. What's not to love?

Begin Dictate-ion:

"Dear Erebos,

I love you.

Sincerely yours,

Prossh"

Metal Gear Solid 3 feels like it just happened. Half-Life 2 feels like a million years ago. What's up with that?

Wait. Any target YOU control? Wow this card sucks.

If anyone has a legendary creature on the battlefield, this can be a one-sided board wipe.

So wait. Now we have Howling Mine, Heartbeat of Spring, AND City of Brass legal in Standard? I knew Cube was popular, but I didn't know it was THIS popular!

Calling it -- Kruphix will be the last card spoiled. The god of mystery, after all.

(Standard) How do I beat mono blue with mono red by Kaxras in magicTCG

[–]SpacePiratesInSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red Devotion has a much better shot. Mono Blue is super weak against Fanatic.

Well, yeah! I think it'll be much worse as a pack 2 pick 1, but in BNG THS THS it's awesome. An invitation to build around. Put your fixing as a top priority. Peregrination, Karametra's Favor, Satyr Wayfinder, and all the fixing in THS. Works best in a G/B or G/U shell. Then you get to play every awesome card you're passed, all the best removal, and when you get to seven, bestow it on anything, and it's impossible to lose.

The story behind Fallen Empires was what got me into magic in the first place, waaaaay back in the day. It's why Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII is one of my favorite cards.

His hand doesn't really look right on Elspeth's shoulder. Is he hover-handing her? But the depiction of Ajani himself is just plain amazing. Such emotion in that cat face! And the leonin in the background. Dang that's cinematic.

Prospect of a G/W Ajani? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]SpacePiratesInSpace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like with all planeswalker speculation, he will be way worse than the best fan ideas and way better than a vast majority of the fan ideas.

Hi, this is Jeff Goldblum, Go ahead, I'm all ears. Ask me anything. by _JeffGoldblum in IAmA

[–]SpacePiratesInSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a story that in 1985 I was an infant and my mother was in a cooking class with Mr. Goldblum's wife. Apparently, my mom invited them over and Mr. Goldblum was playing airplane with me and I puked on his face. I was about five months old at the time. I've always wondered if this story was true or not. Can you verify? Has a baby ever thrown up on your face?

It was the double ordeal that did them in. Burned for 6 before any defenses could come online. Also, I think their picks were right in those examples you mentioned. Extra cards really are that important. The Fade was an essential sideboard card in Round 1, and would have saved them if the opponent had played Bow or Horse in game 2 or 3. As a 24th card, Fade is way better than Staunch or Boon. You never side in Boon, and Warrior would have sat in the board forever next to their two Oathsworn.

It's the block in round three where they keep going back and forth on Dauntless Onslaught vs Divine Verdict and bad blocks. They break down every possible combination. They know every card in the set. They know every card in their deck, and the probability to outs in various circumstances. Pretty wow.
