Not sure. I expect I'll just arbitrarily restrict my card choices, then complain about yours.

Siberius · « **Reply #1926 on:** February 24, 2013, 03:02:30 PM »

Think I just got my first ever 3 turn win!

Fencing ace plus three sets of ethereal armor... For a 20 damage double strike. Rediculous!

Siberius · « **Reply #1927 on:** February 24, 2013, 03:10:36 PM »

My stupid internet is being stupid again!

Sorry Rufus, two somewhat anticlimactic games after a non event half game!

Innistrad onwards?

Lorwyn onwards?

I can't get back in properly. Gonna give up for now. Rufus your deck is interesting. It is much more burn than I expected which caught me out in game one.

How long before rancor drifts out of standard?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1930 on:** February 24, 2013, 03:39:12 PM »

That's a shame!

My deck isn't interesting! It's just a normal red/green aggro deck. I don't like it really.

That fencing ace thing was absurd, but unlikely to happen much. Three ethereal armors at once?

I bet rancor won't be in the next core set. But that still means it will be here until october!

Do what you like!

I've made my edh deck now, and I'm quite pleased with it. I made it standard legal because it was far too tedious to choose the cards otherwise.

Finlay · « **Reply #1931 on:** February 24, 2013, 04:04:00 PM »

Rancor is cool... But super annoying when its drawn early,

That reed green deck always kills me in about three turns.

But there aren't any blue spells you like!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1932 on:** February 24, 2013, 04:16:33 PM »

I decided not to play blue! I'd either have bad spells or amazing ones.

Is anyone likely to be on soon?

Siberius · « **Reply #1933 on:** February 24, 2013, 04:22:21 PM »

Yeh, I was scared you would burn him but you had no mana. Never gonna work that well again but it showed you someehat the premise of my deck. Chuck enchantments out and then slap big for the win. It has a lot you never sqw because I kept getting mana screwed. Got some big stall enchantments and whatnot.

Downside is lack if stuff that interacts with enchants in standard right now. Could use mesa enchantress and such... Maybe in the next set!

I may try coming back in an hourish, see if my internet is back!

What have you got? I might try and make a bird edh deck!

Can be on around six, but want to make edh. Was only on earlier cos ted was napping, and he's up now.

Also GO SCOTLAND!

Siberius · « **Reply #1935 on:** February 24, 2013, 04:38:04 PM »

I have soldiers good to go.

I have to check my other old decks to see if they work.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1936 on:** February 24, 2013, 05:48:17 PM »

Well, I did have a green/white EDH deck. But the program just crashed, and when I restarted it the deck was gone.

Finlay · « **Reply #1937 on:** February 24, 2013, 06:12:20 PM »

Disaster!

Did you Make it on a deck builder ?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1938 on:** February 24, 2013, 06:32:00 PM »

No, did it straight onto GCCG. So it's gone. Oh well.

Played my Niv-Mizzet deck instead. Brainstorm copied 6 times with djin illuminatus, with original niv-mizzet in play. 21 damage.

Lame!

Finlay · « **Reply #1939 on:** February 24, 2013, 06:45:50 PM »

requires quite a lot of mana and luck/tutoring to get those though!

Although I think original muzzy izzet will be nasty with the "deal 21 damage" stuff

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1940 on:** February 24, 2013, 06:54:32 PM »

I used Maze of Ith to stall the game. Copied! With thespian's stage actually. Then with vesuvia in game two.

Not playing that deck again!

Original muzzy izzet is a much better general than the new version.

Siberius · « **Reply #1941 on:** February 24, 2013, 07:03:15 PM »

Tis a touch depressing when you know from turn 3 that only some kind of miracle will mean you can win. But we have all been on both sides. Niv is a really good commander though. Sean Connery couldn't do anything!

Maybe some legendary angel would be better... I will have a look...

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1942 on:** February 24, 2013, 07:07:07 PM »

Poor Sean Connery! Mazed.

My green/white deck had Heron Woman as the general. The hexproof one. She'd be hard to get rid of.

You could use Avacyn, though she does cost about a million mana.

Siberius · « **Reply #1943 on:** February 24, 2013, 07:11:09 PM »

Yup avacyn would do it. I think getting to 8 mana is a fair potential. Then pump out invincible soldiers and gradually overwhelm...

It would at least give me a chance in that match up as your burn could only hit me ao if I got some lifelink out, would be nifty.

Finlay · « **Reply #1944 on:** February 24, 2013, 08:20:15 PM »

I made a deck!

should be around most of the evening now. PM me if I'm not answering on the programme

best simic ever!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1945 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:20:20 PM »

How did you manage that? Just savagery on the biomancer?

Maybe use this as general:

Random dog with no powers!

I'm just finishing building my Isamaru EDH deck, actually. The idea is to cast him early, put a cheap equipment or buff on him (like Crusade and its variants) and do 21 general damage to someone really quickly. It's tuned to my metagame, where we usually play "star EDH", where you have to kill the 2 people across from you, rather than it being a big free-for-all.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1947 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:41:00 PM »

I only want the dog if he does nothing useful!

I can't believe moat is allowed. Moat! This format is stupid.

However, I think I overreacted to the moat.

Siberius · « **Reply #1948 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:56:28 PM »

I remember now, we put a limit on numbers of rares and mythics in edh didn't we before. I wonder if my decks reflect that or if it was after.

I must admit, I like the idea of less/no rares, except I don't know how that would work with the commanders. *shrug*

How about, in an attempt to get some games with less craziness, we make some normal, 60 card pauper decks (common only). I don't even care if we expand it back to use any sets people want to build them as with it being commons, they should be not too bad. Maybe we could try building a few decks and see if it works or if it sucks. I've always wanted to try it though.

Could do! OK.

Lightning bolt. Brainstorm. Counterspell. Impulse. Yes, I'm happy with commons.
