Yeh, it's not a bad card, just a shit ability! which makes it look like it's a shit card.

using cloud pirates in a deck I just made.
I made 2 which are slightly less straightforward in plan i hope

That steam ship is awesome. Want to use it.

LOL I have 4 bearscapes!

So much fun!

Speading seas to allow the steam ship to attack. Does GCCG have portal cards? Not sure.

I look forward to playing your latest aggro deck! Ha ha.

Bearscape is so awesome that I might have to buy the actual card. It's really cheap!

There is another card, from lorwyn, which turned a land into an island. I think it also gave another kind of malus to the person who has the land.

I’ve gone for one enchantment focused aggro, and one orzhov style slow life loss through enchantments and abilities. Stab wound is common! 1000 lashes isn’t  maybe the artefact whip is. There are quite a lot of cards for this deck though, other stuff to add.

Have you stolen my creepy whipping theme!

Finlay · « **Reply #2055 on:** February 28, 2013, 03:10:31 PM »

Nope, there is no whipping in my deck. Stab wound, other life sapping enchantments, and extort!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2056 on:** February 28, 2013, 04:12:10 PM »

Well, it needs some then!

I bet you have this:

Orhzov is my favorite concept or guild ever in Magic. Such a neat idea with cool things going on. I like how it is so Lawful Evil.

Siberius · « **Reply #2058 on:** February 28, 2013, 05:23:30 PM »

That enchantment deck will be pretty nifty vs some things but I imagine totally uselss against a pure burn deck!

I am toying with an alternative elfish deck which as yet has no climax. So many of the good stopmy creatures are rare.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2059 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:17:09 PM »

I made two new decks. I'm hoping to play someone!

Wurms of course!

Siberius · « **Reply #2060 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:23:32 PM »

I made 2 new decks today including a vampire one. Will they be as good as normal ones? Who knows!

Alas I can't get on at the minute.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2061 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:30:34 PM »

Uh oh, that didn't work!

I wonder what went wrong?

Siberius · « **Reply #2062 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:50:47 PM »

I think it crashed on me. Sometimes it does that when I first go in and I have to refresh but I think I went into a game too fast. Then I realised I probably didn't have time for one anyway.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2063 on:** February 28, 2013, 10:53:39 PM »

Booo!

I went into the game, but you'd vanished or something.

Siberius · « **Reply #2064 on:** February 28, 2013, 11:04:10 PM »

Yeh I went into the game except I never made it in. It froze.

Sorry about that, really wanted to play!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2065 on:** February 28, 2013, 11:07:00 PM »

I'd just read on here that you couldn't play, then you appeared and got my hopes up!

Oh well. Next time.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2066 on:** February 28, 2013, 11:49:56 PM »

I think my pauper decks need more uncommons in them, like Finlay's deck!

Siberius · « **Reply #2067 on:** March 01, 2013, 08:46:01 AM »

Sometimes I find myself thinking how bad the cards are that I am using. But then I remind myself so are everyone else's really. You can't put together some sneak win strategy or a get this card out and you win so much. Which is good!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2068 on:** March 01, 2013, 10:05:25 AM »

My pestilence deck is pretty good, I think!

I wish there were enough dwarfs to make a deck.

Yeh, I definitely think there is enough card choice to make some really good decks. You can almost certainly make a better counter-burn deck than you can in standard.
I also don’t think the card’s I’m choosing are particularly bad… at least they’re not as bad as the worms!

Pestilence deck seems very nasty. You know after I’d said “I need some removal” I realise I was playing black, and the point of your deck was your creatures having protection from black.

Siberius · « **Reply #2070 on:** March 01, 2013, 11:14:27 AM »

You just wait, my wurms will rule the world!

What's pestilence?

Surprising that there is a lack of dwarfs, though I admit I can only think of one off hand

What's pestilence?

A common board-sweep spell!

Also I used the rat version:

Together with pro-black creatures, and congregate, so I don't plague myself!

Congregate is good in pauper anyway, because most decks will use a lot of small creatures.

Siberius · « **Reply #2072 on:** March 01, 2013, 03:00:56 PM »

Oh yeh, I saw that the other day when looking for cards for my vamp deck but obviously overlooked it, what with it killing my own stuff too!

Good news is those cards won't be as effective vs my wurms!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2073 on:** March 01, 2013, 03:03:20 PM »

I expect I won't use that deck again anyway. Onward to new decks.

Siberius · « **Reply #2074 on:** March 01, 2013, 10:00:27 PM »

Anyone going on tonight?
