No Hellkites. Seriously. You don't want them here. They're good and all, but they just don't have the oomph that a Gargadon has. Besides, the optimal situation is to unsuspend a Stretch followed by a Kraken or two and a Wind. That tends to equal game win on the spot.
I still like the Blooms and the Roosts, but to each his own. <_<
Also, AI, will you be coming back any time soon?? If not, that REALLY bites. We don't want to move you to the Erratic Portal...

Not normally. Tenth is INSANE. My box wasn't nuts, but it was good (though one guy in our store literally opened Troll Ascetic in one pack, then the next was a Pithing Needle, and the third was a foil Troll and a Wrath of God!!!!!! :o) It was sickening.
Also, why are you in the Erratic Portal Darkon~? You're active enough...
Oh I was talking about my lovely state of Florida as a sort of joke but, I recanted it. It doesn't make much sense unless you live here. The weather is so horrible in the summer. It is either really hot or pouring down rain. Sometime both at the same time. Very nasty.

Oh, I noticed that, but for awhile in your Location even it said The Erratic Portal (ie. Florida). I get the weather based jokes (I live in Ohio, I win), but am wondering if you've ever been a member or anything.
I am a member. I am just currently unassigned. Reason I call it The Erratic Portal is because you dont know what it will be the next day here. Just random crazy stuff happens in this state.

If you didn't notice, we're currently working on a Jhoira deck at Niv's bequest (more precisely, he wanted a R/U deck that was good in T2). Any thoughts?

My "Game Day" went over pretty well. My packs were just rediculous, and my deck was great, but... mana screw, some lousy plays, etc. just raped me. That's what I get for opening Troll Ascetic, foil Voice of All, three pains and four tokens (I like tokens, okay?). I later took to collecting peoples' Tips and Tricks cards. Just to be all like... hey n00blet! Learn to play!
So what of Rocker making this new thread? Hadn't he said after the weekend? Oh, and new members (well, not new) VOTE NOW!
Edit: Not so much related to the current decklist conversation, but: Niv, what ever happened to your Eye of the Storm deck? It was pretty sweet, wasn't it?
Hmm. How many of each other token do you have, then? Oh, and as is said above, I seem to be collecting Tips and Tricks (for n00blet's sake, I swear!)...
Thread Title Vote!
Oh, and BD, something I didn't think about long ago, but about last week we found out that we had won the Mafia, you asked what it was and I replied that it was a LONG clan-contest. Just how long, you ask? Look at the first page of this very (long) thread. Yeah. Long.

Yes, which was what I was getting at with my comment on Niv's Eye of the Storm deck. I don't know if it could have abused Jhoira, but it was certainly riddled with potential and good stuff.

So... do you guys hate my new avatar or what? I know I love it, but I think there are more Affinity haters out there than lovers.
In other news, I didn't play at Magic Game Day. Would've liked to, but I'm flat broke and the closest shop to me is an hour away. Entry fee + gas = too much to spend for me. Glad to hear you guys enjoyed it. Sounds like pretty much everyone in the clan pulled Troll Ascetic & painlands. Black bordered insanity!
Anyone have feelings on MaRo's latest column? I like the sound of shorter sets (you can really tell they've ran out of steam with 3rd sets in the past), I also like the idea of added synchronisity between blocks. But, it does come across as a sales gimmick too, releasing another large set per yer, and adding more cards to the Standard pool (the most in its history I believe). So I'm kind of split. How do you guys that actually play Standard feel?
Masticore eats a guy every turn, so that counts as card advantage (at least if you're discarding useless or madness cards.). As for my Magic Game day, I crushed everyone, going 8-0-1 (5-0-1 swiss, 3-0 top 8) only dropping two games all day. Mahamoti Djinn + Serra Angel + Clone is some good. I even had some solid commons to back them up and defend me until they got online.

Tenth is awsome btw. Were the core boxes always this crazy with good cards? Bought my box today and it was non-stop good cards in it.

I am using her in a deck right now actually. The deck really isn't surrounding abusing her but, just really abusing Body Double. She is useful though suspending Akroma, Angel of Fury, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind other big stuff like Maelstrom Djinn and the all time favorite Aeon Chronicler
Lets see if I can offer something. I am trying to stay away from signets but, I think I will try it this time because we are trying to use Jhoira.
4 Steam Vents
3 Shivan Reef
2 Ghitu Encampment
3 Faerie Conclave
2 Tolaria West
2 Urza's Factory
5 Island
3 Mountain
Creatures (18):
4 Jhoira of the Ghitu
3 Looter il-Kor
3 Body Double
2 Aeon Chronicler
2 Bogardan Hellkite
2 Maelstrom Djinn
2 Akroma, Angel of Fury
4 Electrolyze
4 Izzet Signet
3 Compulsive Research
2 Evacuation
2 Dragon Roost
2 Tidings
1 Beacon of Destruction
4 Pyroclasm
2 Evacuation
2 Platinum Angel
1 Beacon of Destruction
Sorry I write sideboards out of habit now. But consider those other options for main deck.
But yeah, I have good success with Body Double in U/R so definitely something using it.

i was studeing for the past few weeks and didnt come much ...
yesterday i was on Xth prerelise..
i got a Troll Ascetic, Seizmic Asault, True Beliver, Caves of Coilos and Sulfurus Springs
:mad1:Apprentice of Lavamancy:mad1:
playing in standard:
(from hell):evil:
Xth is INSANE! My friend just opened another box, and it was an exact copy of mine, with only a 5-card difference.
Kind of weird.
As for the Jhoira deck, good to see someone using the Roost (I love that card, it goes nicely with my 3 Dragon Tokens :xd:).
I'll give Body Double a spin, and see how it goes.
