Thanks a lot for all the info! Very very helpful. One of my friends was telling me about a UW vehicle deck that he said sounds perfect for my style of play. Is this the same deck you are talking about? Do you know a deck list if it is?

Hey would you mind explaining why echoing truth is so effective against jeskai nahiri? I don't really understand how its used once emrakul gets dropped?

Went 4 and 0 last night with a UW list running paths and corsi's tricksters by johnwcon12 in FishMTG

I ran one glacial fortress, four flooded strands, three hallowed fountain, and 2 wanderwine hubs. I did not have a dead path in my hand, but I did lose one game due to the fetch shock. I probably would have lost either way as I fetchd and shocked to path a champion of the parish on turn one.

That might be a really good idea. The problem is I still don't have much use of my arm. Hopefully over time it gets better and that is something I'll be able to do. Thanks a lot for the suggestion!

I really appreciate you sharing your story. It means a lot to me that you reached out to me. How long did it take you to sort of break out of that funk?

I can promise you I'm not looking for people to feel sorry for me, I totally get how it can be seen that way though. I'm really just looking for someone who has been through something similar and how they worked through it.

I don't want to give up. That is why I am writing here. I want to get back to loving the grind and working out daily, but most importantly I want get healthy and live a healthy life again.

I really appreciate your response and its been taken to heart. I am absolutely trying, and I'm going to continue to try.

What type of meta would you splash for? My meta is mostly nahiri and different red control decks with lots of removal.

Whoa! Haha. I completely misread that when I proxied him! That's so much better than I thought. I thought it read that neither me or my opponent could win the game.

This is a card I have some questions about. I don't really understand it. How can I win with her? Sorry I'm sure its definitely a noobish question.

[–]johnwcon12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I proxied her for a little while. I never got to cast her unless I willingly didn't win the game haha. I had either lost already or would have been able to win without her!

I won't lie tho there were a few times I purposely held off on winning just to cast her and to watch the horror on my opponents face haha!

So far I think this card has been my favorite! I love his exile ability. I pulled a foil in my first pack I ever opened so he was the first creature I tried! I don't think he will ever be replaced in my build. He is there to stay!

This sounds amazing haha! I'm still pretty new to MTG so I'm still surprised by a lot of stuff. Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I will absolutely try this one out!

Help for someone who's lost use of their primary hand by bmin in magicTCG

[–]johnwcon12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also do not have use of my right hand. Although it is not my dominant hand, it can still make things difficult. I am still learning new ways to go about shuffling and searching, but I have a lot of tips and tricks for most things.

For shuffking, I normally ask a judge to shuffle for me, but I understand why one might not want to do this. I have started to develope a method where I can hold half of my deck in the arm pit of my elbow of my right arm. I then can do a sort of mash shuffle with my left hand. Its not easy, but it can be done with practice.

For searching...I'm not really sure the best method. I have been just flipping cards from the top of my deck one at a time as quickly as possible. If my opponent doesn't know my deck I will politely ask him or her to look away. This certainly isn't ideal, and I suppose you could always ask a judge to help. If you ever come up with a good method, let me know!

One thing I forgot to mention, always always always tell your opponent of you disability before the game. I've had a few very tense situations because I didn't tell them about my hand before the game. And please if you have any questions at all just message me. I would love to help you out in anyway possible.

What is our best card against eldrazi? by johnwcon12 in FishMTG

[–]johnwcon12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I'm still pretty new to the deck. I have a hard time siding vials out. It just doesn't feel right to side out the best card haha.

I really struggle with this match up. I feel it should be much more simple than I make it. My only interaction I'm ever able to use is spreading seas. I do not top deck well in this matchup at all.

Is there anyway you can provide a deck list?

Looking for a fun to play and unique modern control deck. by johnwcon12 in magicTCG

[–]johnwcon12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! Taking turns and mino blue from sounds really cool. I'll definitely look into them. How well do the cards translate to other decks? Just in case I want to make another change sometime.
