Yeah I would love to cube - but unfortunately my physical collection is pretty weak - So I definitely plan to play in some forum cubes or something in the near future.
Anyhow better get to sleep - was just blowing off some steam after a full day's study in prep for my exams tomorrow and Wednesday. Wish me luck!

hello, I've been looking around the Izzet clan thread for a space as an apprentice and I see that you have a slot in Unpredictability. I was wondering if I can join your clan.
well that's something, now isn't it. i'm gonna tell my too-boastful friend who thinks that Fae decks consist of purely blue or black and that anything else would be disastrous. we even had a bet on it. now he's gonna lose.
Actually, you're still going to lose that bet. UBR Faeries isn't nearly as good as UB Faeries.
IMO, 5CB is the best deck in a diverse field, but requires a lot of playtesting in order to play correctly. (Playing Bituminous Blast in response to a spell and cascading into Cryptic Command is the sexiest ever!)
Also, something that we've discussed but never really acted upon over at ARD was a haterator deck. The idea behind the deck is to maindeck hate against every teir 1 deck in standard, or depending on your meta. Cards such as Raping Canopy, Qasali Pridemage and Eyes of the Wisent are all answers to common strategies to put pressure on your opponent.
Until you play against Elves and simply roll over? Standard is far too diverse for a Haterator-style deck to be any good.
Boys boys boys. Can't live with them and can't live without them.
Anyway.

Keeper Yeah it is awsome how the list works. I dont get how it does my self but i always have a red sorce fore what i need and always play BB T2. it just plays its self.
got_im Welcome to the greatest clan ever on MTGS. As for what I play i play T2 competitive at least i try any ways but im not above playing cube or just for fun. If you love just randomness this is the place for you trust me. we always go off on tangents much like this one im typing now lol
AI 5CB? cant say i know the deck off hand mind linking or posting a deck for me? I need all the help i can get for this and if i like the deck more i may be able to build it quickly as long as its not too expensive.
DF Caption Crunch my fav!!! god I havnt had a bowl of that in...lets see add 30 subtract 4 muliply by 10 devide by the square root of 5 multiply again by 15 to the fifth power....sorry a realy long time.
Ratfinkp sorry to hear bout you PTQ troubles hope my adventure is better. As for Jund Zombies why not just make R/B Zombies? Iknow everyones doing it and its unoriganal but it seems to work preaty well. Im also interested in your PTQ meta as it where need to build a sb quick and would like to know what ppl are playing.
Time Manipulation Device Mark Three: Hour Glass Reversal

As for Haterator, maybe not at a larget level. My meta would be a great place for it though. Kithkin, 5cc, Esper Control, Blightning, and some random decks that could probably be beaten on skill and a halfway decent deck. Not saying that they are bad players, just ..... suboptimal. I would say that about 6/8 of my meta is control of one type or another, 1/8 is Blightning, and the rest is a throw down of tokens and cascade swans.
Also, funnily enough, I finished my annual run-through of Half-Life the other night, and I was thinking "How cool would it be if Wizards printed a card called Resinance Cascade?" My guess, it would be a card.
When more than half of your lands CIPT, you might be lucky to win one game, let alone a match.
Hey, I said it's midrange!
Besides, it works out just fine for me in all my testing. Leech still hits the board on turn two most of the time, anyway, and that's all that really matters.
I clearly didn't see your comments in the last thread... Allow me a good, :swear:.
The deck does alright, Most of those "random" 2-of's were in from the beginning when it was Blightning. Example: I played two Terminates and one Terror, because my metagame was less-Forge-Tender-y. Now I'm going with all three Terrors. The two BitBlasts... uh... yeah, well, those are ****. I'll give you that.
As for the lands... I've been doing everything in my power to acquire painlands. I just don't trust those treacherous filterlands...
The brand I had was a cheap knockoff, Krogers brand!
I'm thinking about getting more since a salad really doesn't sound appetizing but that does. Probably because it's been so long since i've had yummy cereal. :3

The bet was that it is impossible to make a good Faerie deck with colors other than blue and black, so since I have proof right here in the form of Niv's deck, i'm gonna win.

@ ravus: lets just say that a bunch of turn 3 chameleon collossuss's(in the form of gb elves) on my opponets side are not a good thing for this deck and niether is gw tokens cause they can swarm alot. oh i have a funny game story to tell you about how i managed to pull off a win against gb elves at ONE life.
@ AI: hey my list wasn't bad i just got some bad matchups thats all. also i don't have a ****y mana base i run a total of 8 tap lands (4 treetops and 4 savage lands)
@ niv: i would sideboard something that can beat whatever beats gb elves and gw tokens because they showed up in the dozens in philly and other places. so in short i'd plan to beatwhatever beatsGB elves and GW tokens
on the topic of cereal i have an obsesion with cinamon toast crunch and i'd finish 3 boxes of it if my mom continued to buy them

Please tell. I'm interested since I managed to pull off a win against a quick n' toast at two life before. I wonder how you won at one.
so GW tokens and GB Elves are big where your at Ratfinkp? ok that sounds like a plan. Any sugestions for that and RB Agro? those seem like the worst matchups.

on the ptq i went 1-3 drop:monty:
i was playing jund aggro and it let me down:crying:
I'll be honest I never thought Jund aggro was the best. But since you had success with it before nothing wrong with trying again right?
hows everyone else doing though?
I played BW tokens and lost to jund aggro, as he stopped drawing lands after 4 while I stopped drawing spells after 4. My other loss was GW tokens. Took a chance on him having the second overrun and he did. Should've just played it safe and went for the long game, wrathing away his martial coup tokens.
on a side note i think i want to make a jund zombies deck just to have loads of fun and have the little deathbringer thochtar death baron combo
Tell me how that works out.
So got_im needs a spot. Any objections to promoting geno?

I've been chopping and changing a decklist like that for some time now (since the thoctar was spoiled), and it's a lot of fun. Mine's a bit more token/counter oriented, running Golgari Germination & Doubling Season, with a fair amount of voluntary sacrifice (e.g. Shambling Shell/Savra. Either way, there's a lot of fun to be had...
