CadaverousBl00m posted a message on B/G MultInfectLately, I've found that there haven't been too many green card-advantage conundrums that cannot be solved with Genesis Wave. Admittedly, it's probably a bit sub-optimal here, given you're working more in black than green and it's a triple green CC, but still, it's worth a thought. Imagine dropping three Ichor Rats...Posted in: Multiplayer

Nov 30, 2017CadaverousBl00m posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemBravo for this. As some note below, it's not the perfect article - but it starts the conversation, and that's the important thing.Posted in: Articles
For those who don't know the full story on who Jeremy Hambly is and what he did, this article captures it all.
In the end, this isn't about politics, thought policing or anything like that - it's about having the right to not get trolled out of our own hobbies. No-one deserves that. Not Christine, not anyone on here. And if we start a conversation to make sure no-one gets trolled right off MTGSally, good. -
Dec 8, 2014CadaverousBl00m posted a message on The 2014 Optimal Multiplayer Cube - GreenPosted in: CadaverousBl00m BlogQuote from Blueduck »Treefolk is interesting. Have you mentioned that in years past? I know I would find it interesting if the final 2014 optimal cube used different archetypes from years past. Let's get some variety!
Wow, that was quick... I went to lunch, came back, and you'd replied!
I don't think I've mentioned Treefolk as a possible archetype in years past, but it's definitely been floating around in my head as possible. I run a mono-green Treefolk deck with half of these cards in free-for-all Multiplayer, and it's been quite successful. Coupled with the fact that Wickerbough Elder and Lignify have stuck in my cube and aren't moving...
And yeah, I'll switch up the archetypes this year... variety is the spice of life! I was going to make the green one Treefolk anyway, just to see how it drafted for everyone (and hoping that it doesn't end up like Merfolk... which basically consists of a bunch of first-picks and a bunch of last-picks, so no-one ever ends up holding the full tribe).
EDIT: Oh, and I should add... Lignify even has its own enter-the-battlefield catchphrase in my playgroup: "Watch out for that... treeeeeeeee!" -
May 12, 2014CadaverousBl00m posted a message on The 2013 Optimal Multiplayer Cube - WhiteI almost threw a white tokens archetype in this year, TBH! I think you could probably make a very good archetype as it is, but it would probably be multicolour (either GW with Trostani, Parallel Lives, Doubling Season etc. or BW with Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, Lingering Souls etc).Posted in: CadaverousBl00m Blog
I reckon white Soldiers is probably a card or two off being a very good archetype as it is - Darien, King of Kjeldor, Knight-Captain of Eos, Mobilization, Martial Coup, just about any Elspeth...
Can't say I've put a figure on the minimum number of turns per reset before a game is declared "not fun anymore", but my gut feel is that it's probably about 9-10 turns. That's long enough for someone who's had an imperfect draw or a disrupted setup to a) at least feel like they've got something decent going, or b) blow it all up with the reset they have.
Most of the resets in my own cube are quite conditional, too. Wrath of God is pretty much the only straight "blow it all up right now" reset I have. Disk takes a turn, Austere Command chops and changes what it resets, most of the red ones (like Blasphemous Act and Chain Reaction) won't necessarily get everything... Between limiting those you have, and making sure they're not all silver bullets, you should have a pretty decent balance of things (and it places greater draft value upon the really good ones - *** is a high pick in my cube, and rightfully so). -

The best thing I've found to do with the new sets? I usually want playsets of about nine or ten commons and uncommons from a set - just enough to justify splashing for a full common/uncommon playset (which can usually be had inside the US for under $30). I love buying one of these, and then letting my friends pick over the leftovers. We even split an M12 playset between four people recently and drafted it. -

@Zelderex: Yeah, I'm waiting to see if it stays banned in Modern, really. That is one Banned List in flux right now, apparently in the interests of knocking out Turn 1-3 kills. Not sure Valakut does that without Scapeshift. I wouldn't be horribly surprised to see them eventually ban Scapeshift and unban Valakut. Not sure that would make for a Modern-competitive deck, though.
@MrZeyeti: Agreed, Sorin's certainly not a house. I kind of expect him to end up price-wise about where Chandra Nalaar is now. He's now had his reprint (making him more available), and he's not seeing tournament play... eventually we have to reach saturation point, like we did with Chandra. At $5-6 a copy, I'm not interested in getting a Sorin or two to throw in a deck, but at $2-3, I probably am! - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
