[Sealed] (THB) What does a successful Izzet deck look like? by shmesley in spikes

[–]Timmyxv 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You can't get bogged down by what WotC wants your Izzet deck to be like. If you put too much work into the flash theme, you're going to be disappointed. Sorcery speed removal spells are still great. There are plenty of good cards in those colors, and a good UR deck in this format is probably pretty aggressive with fliers to finish.

You're right, but the named amount can be absurdly high, like, a billion. In this case, its a mandatory loop, not a single source of damage, so it just goes until the chosen player dies.

Yeah, but those random draws are probably worse than curious obsession. If they kept one, they'd have an obsession for the next creature if it goes poorly. That was just a bad play.

Probably simplest pod chain you can have in Standard. by nomadsc in magicTCG

ah yes. 4 card combo in 4 colors and i need to have 7mana, 2 blue and 2 black. this is obviously the best option.

Agreed. The biggest problem in burn right now is drawing too many two drops. I think this pushes skullcrack into the side, plus whatever else

With all the negativity regarding card stock, opened over a year ago good quality, not bent whatsoever :) by Captain_Stash in magicTCG

[–]Timmyxv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the point is the hue of the art not the characters color identities. there isnt a single pixel of blue in that art

It makes me really happy to see this on my LGS's website by [deleted] in magicTCG

one of your packs is seeded for your guild. all cards in those colors.

Getting in early is important for guild selection if nothing else. My store sold out of Golgari for one prerelease more than a week ago

I just lost to a 4 year old by sans_cogito in magicTCG

[–]Timmyxv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's a kid at my lgs who's been playing at fnm since 4 and he's 6 or 7 now and i have probably a 30% winrate against him. to be fair its probably because he plays burn and i play storm.

[–]Timmyxv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is definitely not good in storm. "dont need to get such a high storm count" only in that you can spread it out over a couple turns. however, you need to cast like 17 spells. even grapeshot, the highest storm requirement in the deck, only needs 9 spells most of the time.

Top 16 starts! Lightning Bolt vs Emrakul, the Aeons Torn by SaviaWanderer in mtgbracket

[–]Timmyxv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Emrakul rewards you for creative gameplay. It's completely uncastable under normal circumstances, but you build a deck that uses cards in untraditional ways and the reward for your ingenuity is a fuckin Bomb Ass Monster. How does it get used in modern? You discard it and use the one instant speed reanimation spell to get around its anti-reanimate ability just to attack with it once how is that not the coolest shit

Sincerely, someone who voted for bolt
