There's just something about the Mirrodin 1.0 frame or something I just plain don't like. /shrug. I'm rather aesthetic in things. -
Sep 27, 2012Sanity's_Eclipse posted a message on New plans for my EDH decksI had a similar problem with a band buddy in high school. I had a comparatively crappy Jund deck at the time, but for me at that time it was my best deck. Towards the end of the year, he mentioned that he had been thinking about building his own version of the deck, and I stupidly encouraged him.Posted in: Scott Blog
His version ended up trouncing my version, and I dismantled it. Also, he got a Dragon deck for free from his dad, so I was just right narked off, lol.
I built a mono-black vampire deck that could actually go toe to toe with his decks, but then we moved away from playing Magic (it was our Freshman year of college at this point, during ZEN). He also went on a Mission for the Mormon Church, so he hasn't been around.
It didn't get to actual Fallout like your situation, but I felt kinda close to it. I think it's good he went on that Mission; it's given me time to cool off, find out what I love about Magic, and to build some kick ass decks. He doesn't want to play EDH? Sucks for him, this format is awesome :D.
Also, if/when he comes back and is similarly inspired by a deck, I will flat-out tell him that if he does want to build a similar deck, I will never want to play against it, see it, talk about it, or anything like that. Find your own damn inspiration for decks. (aimed at my friend, not at you :)) -

lol. this ban annoys me. -
Mar 11, 2012Sanity's_Eclipse posted a message on Mana DoublersIMO, green needs Roflmana. He's more or less a flippin' mana doubler, ----. You need to be playing a lot of forests for maximum effectiveness, but he still doubles your green mana at the least.Posted in: Ted Blog

Nov 6, 2011Sanity's_Eclipse posted a message on Food for Thought: Is 60 Cards Always Optimal?I don't really use math, but I'll go with 61 cards a lot of the time if I'm building a non-EDH deck. I figure(d) that the extra card really didn't mess with the chance of drawing X, ya know?Posted in: Tom's Blog... Enjoy!

Oct 31, 2011Sanity's_Eclipse posted a message on Modern: Legendary BantKind of a cool idea, take a shard or a guild, etc, and use a bunch of legendaries from not that block. Might do that for a deck.Posted in: DaGarver Blog

Sep 27, 2011Sanity's_Eclipse posted a message on [W] Spectral Promise (spirits n' stuff)I like the term Spirit over Ghost, thank you. lolPosted in: Sanity's_Eclipse Blog
That strikes me as just being cute, though. /shrug
Cool I've always loved Promise (even though I don't own any yet), and wanted to find a good deck for it at some point. -

I'm not talking 6 pack of mike's hard by herself....I'm talking drunk at 3pm. Do you like Angels, Demons or Dragons? That's right, you don't even have to choose because she'll bring them ALL to the party.
From her spoiler thread -
Apr 13, 2011Sanity's_Eclipse posted a message on EDH Karrthus, Tyrant of JundJugan may be lackluster, but he completes the Kamigawa cycle in the deck.Posted in: Sanity's_Eclipse Blog
He can boost Kilnmouth Dragon / V. Zombie, etc for damage, or just boost something else. /shrug. -
Mar 31, 2011Sanity's_Eclipse posted a message on Grixis Planeswalker KontrolLooks pretty fun, though I don't know which would murder my bank account more; the planeswalkers, damnation, or the mana basePosted in: LilianaVess33 Blog
I'll have to give this kinda deck a shot sometime. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
To that end, I usually include Sol Ring and the appropriate Diamond(s)/Signets. Depending on the Commander, I may include Darksteel Ingot and/or the appropriate Obelisk or Banner, or similar 3 costing rocks. I recently got a few Jeweled Amulets, need to put those in a few decks.
If the deck is in green, I almost always add Nature's Lore, and Cultivate/Kodama's Reach find their way into a number of decks as well. The CMC 4 ramp spells are usually reserved for Mono-Green or for decks like Zegana who are mostly not-Green but still want to get up to double digits land counts. I don't really see the point of ramp spells that cost more than that. Why not just run something slightly cheaper so that you can still do something else on your turn?
Mana creatures generally either fetch the land to the field, or to my hand, or on death, or are otherwise that ridiculous. The exceptions are Anafenza, where I'm running several Llanowar Elf dudes to try and land her T2, and Titania, where landfall + Lotus Cobra is apparently ludicrous. As you all can see, I tend towards getting more lands out of the deck, simply because not as many cards can interact with lands as opposed to creatures. And not to mention that when you've thinned your deck of most of your lands, you'll basically just be drawing ammo instead of fuel.
I'm in the 40 Lands camp as well. I think it's harder to start with a lower land count only to find yourself needing to add more lands, rather than the reverse of having too many lands and subsequently dropping one for another creature/spell/etc. Duals, shocks, and fetches are the 3 land types that make it into every deck if I have them, with Painlands, Filterlands (Twilight Mire), and the Temples being good options for decks if I can work with their drawbacks. I don't have many super-powered utility lands, so most utility slots are Bojuka Bog and things like that. That is also why I tend towards a decent number of basics, I just don't have any other lands for those slots lol. If I'm running Caged Sun, etc, or if there just aren't really any good utility lands for the deck then I will also run a higher number of basics for those reasons. I'm not really a fan of just cramming a bunch of utility lands into a deck just because you can, either.
I mean, generally:
- if you want to cast your general quickly, then the appropriate rocks, spells, and creatures that allow that are tantamount. The Temples aren't going to work well here, while the Painlands and Shocks and such are going to shine.
- if it's more of a controlling deck, you can appreciate the Temple Scrying and can accept lands potentially ETB tapped if they have a good effect stapled on.
- if land destruction is part of your game plan or meta, then you'll want to mix Dash 1 and Dash 2 above. (for eg, Jhoira needs to be able to cast things from just a couple of permanents, while Narset seeks to control the game and build up CA to properly set up the LD)
Look at the B clerics from Onslaught block. Rotlung Reanimator (and perhaps Xathrid Necromancer), Vile Deacon, and Starlit Sanctum, for eg.
I'm probably going to get a copy each of Call the Gatewatch, Oath of Gideon, Oath of Chandra, andOath of Nissa in case I ever truly want to build a superfriends deck. I hope they continue with the Oath of ___ cards, they're fairly cool.
Linvala, the Preserver but just for my angel collection. Is she the only angel in the set? Looks like it.
I may get Should to Shoulder because it is 2W Draw a card.
Slip through Space is good, gonna get a couple of those.
Crush of Tentacles seems like a perfect flavor fit for my Zegana deck.
Chandra, Flamecaller seems decent.
Pyromancer's Assault also seems decent.
Bonds of Mortality anti-voltron is always good to have.
Seed Guardian could be fun in Meren, may try that out.
I guess I'll get a copy each of Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim and Jori En, Ruin Diver in case I ever want to build an Eldrazi deck and a counter-burn/tempo list for French.
What do you all think of Hissing Quagmire for Meren?
I suppose I probably should get a copy of Mirrorpool in case it ends up costing like, Dark Depths prices or something.
What Wastes art do y'all prefer? I'm going for the Ulamog ashy skeletal ones personally.
Kind of a mix between new card discussion and an actual buy list for me.

You could also slot a little of option 3 into that deck.
This is kind of hilarious. Welding Jar FTW.
Matter Reshaper is going to see play.
I don't like Zendikar Resurgent. Play Greater Good, or Elemental Bond for draw, and play Caged Sun or Mana Reflection for uber mana.

What state, Slarg?
Colorado's not bad, it seemed worse in Nov. and Dec. I'm just happy I'm not bloody working outside all day now.
That.
ie, for off-color fetches, imagine you're a... Red planeswalker. You stumble upon a Scalding Tarn. You can channel the red mana there, but since you never trained with blue mana, or just don't get blue mana, etc, you can't do anything in that regard. Just because you can't do anything with that mana doesn't mean that you'll never stumble upon a place of mixed mana ever again. Sometimes you would stumble upon a perfectly singular area of mana, sometimes you wouldn't.
