MTG Salvation

I remember you too. hi. actually, i just remember your avatar. but, same thing.

Oh, and

this decks seems like it could be good. here's a list off the top of my head, with no testing, although i have played with Green-based control a lot.

4 witness
4 elder
4 shaman
4 Samurai of the Pale Curtain
2 Pristine Angel
3 Rude Awakening
4 Otherworldly journey
4 Wrath
2 Pulse of the Fields
3 Ghostly Prison
4 Final Judgement <---- The new BoK wrath varient thing
1 Okina
1 White legendary land
10 Forests
10 Plains

Kodama's reach is certainly a must. i'd play 3, maybe even 4. I'm not sure i like night's whisper, as you could be filling the slot with more kill spells, like echoing decay and rend flesh.
@goblin medics: i played beacon in this deck for a long time. i really did. in the end, though, i took it out, as i had found that you don't really need it. as a win condition, you've got Rude awakening and Kokushu, which do just fine. As chump blockers, you've already got plenty of creatures in Jens, Elder, and Witness. I'd put in a fourth shaman, a fourth jens, and a rude awakening instead. then, i'd take one kokushu out for 1 rude awakening. You've got 5 win conditions now, and a fairly more consistent creature base. other than that, it looks really good. i just wish you could fit barter in blood in, but i guess not.

I run bribery and keiga. Keiga seems pretty good right now. the main problem is duplicant, you're right, but i still find them to be useful. i guess i could take them out and go + 1 bribery, + 1 last word. i don't think 4 bribery are needed, as you only need to draw one per game most of the time. However, more last words are always good.
@sacred: Yes, 1 swamp MD.

i'm STILL not sure about the counters though, having a really hard time with that...

I wouldn't run any colors besides green. it makes the deck too inconsistent. I find Kodama's reach better than wood elves, too, because although the elves give you a body, Reach gives you an extra land. Since that is the point of the spell anyway, reach is better. As for the colors, you don't need blue to deal with ravager. Just put in more art hate. Also, Plow unders should not be main. Put shaman or oxidize in. I'm not sure you need 4 rude awakenings, i'd make it 3 courage and 3 rude awakening. This is a really cool deck, have fun playing it!

Will, i'm worried now. i just saw your sig in some other thread and noticed you're linking to the called and are a friend there now. i remember you saying the called was a bad clan, and was looking for the quote, but can't find it now. Are you feeling ok?

@JT: suck up. make TNK luke jk...

I can see it in B/G, maybe. seems BoK is the reanimate set, with this, the new reanimate, and the rumor Raa posted on news. I'm starting to think it's true now o_O

EDIT: that flavor text doesn't seem right for the card. it seems more like a "YOU HAVE BEEN SUPRISED AND KILLED BY A MANTICORE" card

Probe isn't that great. good against desire, maybe, and fun to watch, but desire isn't in T2 right now. i think jens is pretty good, but agree that the mogg fanatic reprint must fit in in some way. i'm a big fan of Jens, though. keeping him in would be pretty good, in my opinion, although we don't want too many creatures. Just to throw another thought around, though, what about Kiki-Jiki? Copying Hearth Kami and firewalker seems good, or even copying jens or the mogg reprint when it comes out. 5 mana is a lot though...

Also, i realize this is a bit out of date, but what's the current word on the shrapnel blast+ darksteel citadel thing? is it a problem of not enough red mana? 5 damage for 2 mana is really good, so it should be included if possible, i guess.

I like musty's dark red one. I'm also noticing that Musteval is contributing, and SafetyDance is using MT lingo, and wondering if this place is turning into Misetings.

EDIT: i'll PM MaxRPG. i'm sure he'll have a contribution.

all i see are links in everyone's sigs. for this reason, i haven't put a banner up yet. perhaps it's a thing that administrators can change, about the settings of the site or somehting?

is it just me, or are they running out of legend names? "Okiba-Gang Shinobi" sounds suspiciously a lot like "Obi-Wan Kenobi", at least in my mind

Cranial Extraction is NEVER good maindeck. unless there are 0 affinity decks in your metagame. put it sideboard, and make it 4. Extraction = good. Also, i agree, elders are very good MD. i've found it's best to run lots of MD landsearch spells, so you can get mana really fast for death cloud, kokushu, or rude awakening. Sideboard, if there's lots of control where you live, i'd suggest 1 boseji and a couple of sylvan scryings. if not, just more affinity hate

Here's my SB as of right now:
3 Explosives - Affinity/aggro
3 Oxidize - Affinity
3 Extraction - control/tooth
2 Bribery - tooth
2 Keiga - tooth
2 Last Word - control

Also, i'm not sure if all these official threads will be moved to competitive by the mods, what with the new change and all. if not, i may start a new thread in competitive.

glad you're here. i assume your not making banners anymore, with the move and all. but, i 'd like a new avatar, if it's okay, because there's a 100x100 limit now, i think. can you make a picture of meloku, but animated, the way you did with my eternal witness avatar before?

thanks in advance!

well, we moved... and the avatar limit's bigger now, too. yay! a 100x100 pixel avatar owner will be me as soon as i figure out what's going on in the avatar forums. Zoobs, still making avatars?
