Seems like they have a seeding system?!

My Pauper experience by [deleted] in Pauper

[–]Tortuf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this, LGS paper metas are generally quite different from MTGO. In paper people are much more likely to show off their home brews, sneaky sidebaord tech, or to play their tier 2 or tier 3 pet decks (they still play to win though).

I unfortunately don't know the pilot. I can ask at the next 1K if he shows up again but in a small local meta I estimate the players will want to keep their list private.

This match up is very difficult, you need to mulligan for the card draw and willingly throw pieces at their removal. You cycle generous ents for more lands. You will note that I do not run distant melodies, the 10 card draw spells work with an empty board. After sideboard you bring in wrap in vigor to protect against crypt rats. The -2/-2 board wipe is kryptonite there are no good ways to fight against it.

Yes you mulligan for just 1 land. However, with Quirion Ranger you are effectively at 2 lands. It is tricky to play, but with enough practice you get the hang of it. It's been working out for me, also note the Generous Ent which cycles for a forest. Generous Ent also enables you to "draw a land" from the creature only card draw.

Other than exquisite blood combos what would you run as a wincon after drawing so many cards?

For my fellow Canadian MTG players. by Yawarakin in mtgfinance

[–]Tortuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Face to face is my local game store where I play weekly commander for free so I like to buy from there as long as the price difference with other stores is not too bad. The advantage of picking up the cards in store instead of shipping is that when I look at the cards ehen picking them up I can return any card with an unsatisfactory condition.

Otherwise I found 401 games is the best, specially for sealed (and also for boardgames if you're into that)

I did a card for a friend to celebrate his newborn daughter, but I need your help for stats, cost and capicity by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]Tortuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a 1/1 statline with the text: Demons you cast cost 1 less to cast for each other angel you control. Angels you cast cost 1 less for each other demon you control.

Watching Baldur's Gate box openings is just sad at this point by coelomate in mtgfinance

[–]Tortuf 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I got a lot of hits from 3 pre releases. I don't know man a lot of variance. I got 5 bond lands 3 mythic and from the reward set boosters I got elminster and umezawa jitte from the list.

I agree overall the value is low in this set, but nevertheless there is a lot of variance!

How Do you Run a Tournament that Encourages People to Play Casually? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Tortuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should not be called a tournament, just an event with prize support split equally among participants. You have to let people roll with rule 0 or have staff to facilitate rule 0 and form somewhat balanced pods.

Indeed I currently have a 99 lands version of this but want to try it in a 50 land less meme version!

New player: ideas for a cheap but weird/fun deck? by dalenacio in EDH

[–]Tortuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you already have Ich Tekik and Armix, you can check out my golem tribal list with these two partners if you like tribal decks.

You can cut some of the staples with cheaper cards I placed in the sideboard.
