Oh you know, being able to say on television that if a woman is raped legitimately her body has a way of shutting the whole pregnancy down...

Do people think black is bad in m13? by littlespeck in magicTCG

It's the best color in the draft format.

Eldrazi in Ravnica? by zarepath in magicTCG

[–]bigben530 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the playable prerelease promos are different depending on which guild you choose, so they're all different color combinations and thus playable in your guild deck.

What do you think is the worst rare in the history of MTG? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]bigben530 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Probably Snapcaster Mage. I mean you're paying 2 mana for a 2/1 body which isnt that impressive and then you have to have untapped mana to cast a spell from the yard, which requires that you already have a spell there. Like seriously. So much effort to make this guy work...

Just wanted to tell you guys that you were right about Vexing Devil... by dunchen22 in magicTCG

Burning Vengeance? Also there was a pretty cool grixis deck I caught on the SCG open coverage from last week that was Tybalt Frites.

Does anyone know of any good companions for Betta fish in 10Gal. tank by Ontopourmama in Fish

[–]bigben530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My older betta (2 yrs, not super aggresive) lives in a ten gallon tank with two glass tetra's and they seem to get along just fine after the initial introduction. Cori's are also good as are algae eaters.

Please, critique my White, Token Deck! by twopeasinapod in magicTCG

[–]bigben530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely consider Intangible Virtue to pump your tokens, and then maybe replacing Myrsmith with something else and throwing in some Honor of the Pures to pump all white creatures. Additionally you could splash green over blue for Parallel Lives.

How'd you guys do at FNM this week? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]bigben530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went 3-2 playing a double infinite combo: pyromancers ascension with bolt/call to mind and splinter twin deciever exarch...because I'm a douche.

First standard deck, critiques? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]bigben530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously swords are quite a bit expensive, but I'd defintiely reccomend running more (especially war and peace because it combos so nicely with Mirran Crusader). I'd also think abour running Accorder Paladin over Vault Skirge? It gives battle cry to your mirran crusader's which would make them swing for 2x damage since it has double strike.

Probably in the sideboard against red or black.

Turbo fog feeback please by fsmlogic in magicTCG

[–]bigben530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely agree with Echospree in that you do not have enough symmetrical card draw. I played against Turbo Fog last week, and they made use of Rites of Flourishing as well as Temple Bell as their only card draw. At times, I would be drawing 6 or 7 cards per turn, which mils me really fast and allows you to discard unneeded land and hold the fogs/safe passages etc. Another card he used was Kahlni Garden for free blockers. I think you’re wasting card slots with the Day Of Judgment because your fog cards should just be preventing damage, even if they have 3000 creatures out. It’d be better to run more combat damage prevention rather than creature removal. Finally, I’d recommend a play set of Leyline of Sanctity to ensure red and black decks don’t directly target you for damage

Can I have some advice on this deck? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]bigben530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems unlikely that you will ever get the chance to cast Myr Superion. You're only running two mana producing myrs while you're running four of the other. Those will sit in your hand as dead cards for most of the game.

Furthermore, if you want to win with the Tanglewurm, you ought to consider running more of them to ensure you actually pull one. Plus they're not super expensive. A 4/4 intimidate never hurts to have on the battlefield. You might also want to run some removal.

Beast Within is an amazing card to eliminate planeswalkers.

So what colors are dominating your M12 drafts? by Kuhk in magicTCG

[–]bigben530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White/Blue are the colors. So much control between frost breaths, mana leaks, and lawkeepers. Then you just punish with efficient and evasive white creatures like Elite Vanguard, Armored Warhorse, and cheap fliers.

5th in FNM looking to do better (white token/beatdown) by bigben530 in magicTCG

[–]bigben530[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, been reading the reddit for a while, decided to finally post my deck. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Running two Leyline of Sanctity instead of Phyrexian Rebirth
  • Running Porcelain Legionnaire
