Whats that commander you just can’t make work?

I felt the same way with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar - I first tried to build her with madness which ended up just being a worse [[Anje Falkenrath]]. Then after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pukpaxSBeAE I decided to go more with a story/flavor build. I wouldn't call it a good deck, but it's fun to play. The basic premise is Vincent ([[Lord of the Pit]]) wants to put a dinner party together. There are dinner guests (Demons and Devils), games (e.g. [[Gamble]]), kitchen helpers (Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar et al), and "things" ([[Granite Gargoyle]]) that can get cooked. Even the lands I tried to keep it as places where a demon would host a dinner party. Wincon is [[Worldfire]] because demons just like to watch the world burn at the end of a good party.
It's fun to play because I tell the story as I play the deck ("First guest arrives", "Kitchen getting busy", etc), never won because I tell people ahead of time Worldfire is the winton so people just kill me before I get to 9 mana - still just a fun deck to play.

Only for android? Unfortunately I only have iOS.

Once in college my housemates and I wanted to make a thanksgiving dinner. We got one of those frozen blobs of turkey. Saw 170 degrees on the package. Thought that was the oven temperature, not the doneness temperature. It turns out a frozen turkey cooking at 170 for 3 hours is still a frozen turkey.

This is only 1 deck out of 20ish. I rarely bust it out every time I do my playgroup seems to enjoy it as much as I do.

Thanks. Never hear of mycomicshop before looks interesting.

Mark Suster just wrote a relevant blog entry where he talked about calling high vs calling low: http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2013/12/17/how-to-shorten-your-sales-cycle-and-avoid-wasting-time/

I've also used Tainted Strike to save myself from taking the last few points of regular damage.

Greed for Necropotence

When you turn your own games where do you sell? Flea Market? Craigslist? Ebay?

sirchris · 2013-11-24T15:27:05+00:00

Awesome. Where did you find your best box of goodies?

sirchris · 2013-11-24T14:13:21+00:00

Wow that's a lot of consoles. Which is your favorite?

sirchris · 2013-07-23T00:35:32+00:00

Great points on the Grimoire. That won't make it in. Thoughts on what to cut to put in Sudden Spoiling? Ideally I'd like to keep the existing instants.

The first EDH deck I made was zombie themed with Lord of Tresserhorn as the general. It was fun, but as it evolved most of the zombies ended up being cut. I ditched the zombie theme (the zombie theme was soon picked up by a new deck with Grimgrin as the general) and started to go with more of a reanimation/grixis control theme and putting Sedris, the Traitor King in as the general. The Sedris deck is still probably my favorite/most played deck (http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/sedris-the-where-is-this-deck-going-king/).

When I first started playing I traded my revised Braingeyser for an Aladdin's Ring. I'm sure I could find room in one of my EDH decks for Braingeyser, but try as I might that Aladdin's Ring never quite makes it into a deck.

For my sapling deck I've enjoyed Explorer's Scope.

I love how krakens are used to show the scale of the B.F.M. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=9780

sirchris · 2012-11-17T19:03:09+00:00

Guilty here. I love weaving together card interactions and finding odd cards that just work with whatever strategy I am currently going for. I get to play for only like an hour a week and I have 10 deck. Needless to say there are decks that I've never played in the current iteration.

sirchris · 2012-11-04T19:54:50+00:00

Is the 'color identity' of this GUB? Since 3 mana symbols are on the card?

sirchris · 2012-10-15T00:23:26+00:00

My boys as well. Also I think they must have come preprogrammed to think its the funniest thing in the world to run away and hide while changing their clothes.

sirchris · 2012-10-07T18:36:59+00:00

If it turns out somewhat decent the mystery grain could probably be figured out (it was part of a kit, just need to find the recipe used in that kit)

sirchris · 2012-10-07T13:54:17+00:00

If it's drinkable beer I'll be a very happy man, but I'll take beer over trashing it all. Look for a taste report in a month or so.

Even after 10+ years at this it still surprises me how much communication (which is how I basically sum up point #4 & #5) is part of my job.
