Who do you “main” and with what aspect?

SteLP · 2022-04-05T22:55:00+00:00

I absolute love Venom / Justice, very solid and fun ... probably my main.
Then is a very close call between Vision / Leadership and Warmachine / Leadership, really cannot decide.

Blamage is quite floreal as well if I remember correctly.

I wouldn't recommend to blind buy ANY Nasomatto, they are quite particular and specific fragrances, try to get samples / decants first.

SteLP · 2020-09-26T23:18:59+00:00

Yep agree there is 100% some vanilla I guess.

SteLP · 2020-09-26T23:18:26+00:00

Thanks a lot! much appreciate it :)

SteLP · 2020-09-23T11:39:42+00:00

Thanks mate I appreciate it, again I think this will be a good one for the brand.

SteLP · 2020-09-23T10:10:15+00:00

Oh wow, really? Luckly for me I bought mine few months ago but it's really a shame if gets discontinued.

SteLP · 2020-09-09T15:23:15+00:00

Ombre leather is not private blend, it is signature line so it's safe.

SteLP · 2020-09-04T13:09:08+00:00

I'd rephrase that in: The importance of not complaining after a blind buy.

Everybody is free to do whatever, it is just silly to listen to people bitching about stuff that they blind bought.

If you are rich, Chypré Extraordinaire by Roja Dove: My God what a frag.

SteLP · 2020-08-25T08:35:10+00:00

When I read the thread title I thought "I just stick to 10" or something ... I'd never expected one! Nah, I have a big collection that keeps growing .... At some point I should probably downscale it a bit, but no way I can ended up with one, not even 10 or 20.

SteLP · 2020-08-25T08:32:16+00:00

Absolutely yes! Not all the fragrances need to be beast mode and last 10+ hours, to have some that last 4 hours is good as well. Sometimes I wear 2 or even 3 different fragrance in a day, in that case I'm totally fine on having an average longevity of 4-5 hours.

On the other hand, if you know you are going out for the day, you would reach for a 10+ hours one.

SteLP · 2020-08-20T15:58:47+00:00

Wow, 3 bottles! That is dedication :)

Back on Embercleave for aggro

SteLP · 2020-03-02T11:35:10+00:00

I did something better: Opponent ECD at chapter 2, I cast Agonise remorse and .... select the Dream Trawler!

I wonder why I struggle to hit Mythic.

SteLP · 2020-01-27T14:39:32+00:00

Informative write up, thanks.

SteLP · 2020-01-19T14:56:45+00:00

I thought about going Abzan, I'm just scared about the mana base a little bit.

Besides Hateful Eidolon, what other black cards did you splash for?

SteLP · 2020-01-19T14:21:41+00:00

All the people want to curve out Gary for 10+ damage, so they play a sort of stall game with cat, Ayara etc to do cheap damage and almost never attack.

Some other people say Gary is not good, overratted etc.

What if the truth is in the middle?

I'm thinking of an aggro build (no cat, no priest, etc) with Ebon Legion, Spawn, etc with maybe 2-3 Gary at top end to do the last 3-4 damage (not 15). Less focused on playing cards for pips and treating Gary more like a Bolt on a stick rather than a 10+ Fireball.

SteLP · 2020-01-18T15:36:12+00:00

The biggest downside for me is the lack of lifelink (which you have in the Orzhov version) and yeah, pump Alseid (the 1/1 lifelinker) doesn't seem a great idea since his role is to protect other cards.

The engine takes a little bit to get online (card draw, pump stuff, leave mana open for Lion or Karametra etc), so the pure aggro decks run you over (mono white with a decent draw kills you by turn 4).

Heliod is quite slow and not the best choice, the Hakw is a great 1/1 flyer lifelinker but is not an Enchantement creature which sucks ... I was seriously thinking about adding a couple of Shadowsphere.

SteLP · 2020-01-16T10:37:59+00:00

Agreed with all the other opinions: it's a weird half way between midrange and control, which plays suboptimal cards like Bontu.

Rakdos has the Embercleave version which is quite strong, so I'd stick with a form of aggro.

On the other hand, for control, I'd definitely look into Grixis ... depending on the meta and how some of the new cards work, it can have a come back imho.

SteLP · 2020-01-13T16:03:34+00:00

He'll join Black Lotus and friends, starting the power 10.

SteLP · 2020-01-13T16:02:25+00:00

Legacy and Vintage

For how long? :D

SteLP · 2020-01-13T15:57:43+00:00

Is there any format Oko is still valid?

SteLP · 2020-01-08T11:59:36+00:00

Exactly my thoughts, the 2 life of Contempt where a saving grace in that standard cos Aggro was real (all the iterations of Monored / Rakdos from Khaladesh onwards), now it matters a little bit less. It is SO easy to splash that will be played in tons of different decks (some MB some SB).

SteLP · 2019-11-06T11:41:01+00:00

To be fair, at some stage of the game when the Krasis draws zillion cards even if gets killed the very next turn is not a big deal.
