| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Matts|Matts]] 17:37, 13 August 2008 (MST)I think we have two or three nucklavees. Eye of the storm is an incredible match there. We should throw in our Jaws of Stones too.

| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] -- So I think for next time we should all try and make a theme deck. Not like elves, or goblins, or whatever. But like "Communism" or "Zoo" or even "The State Fair", and we put in only cards we think have something to do with it. For example, zoo wouldn't have any counters, but Communism mind have Mind Boogle. I dunno, just a way for us to use less used cards but in a themed deck, kinda like Matt's "Da Bears" deck or "I'm the Juggernaut" deck. If you like it post your idea here and maybe next Friday we can try a hand.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Matts|Matts]] 16:49, 15 August 2008 (MST)dammit, the bears deck and the juggernaut were the same thing!!!!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 20:03, 16 August 2008 (MST) Well right, they were both crap, I know that. OH ZING! But yeah, we should do that... post your theme though. Also Brandon had to use my decks and my Black/White one turned out pretty annoying to fight against... Really annoying...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 09:59, 17 August 2008 (MST) Sorry about you guys not getting the decks. My next door neighbor turned out to be gone all day.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 22:51, 17 August 2008 (MST) so i have a lot of time on my hands this week, and am deconstructing all my decks and making new. maybe i'll leave one deck together. anyway, i shoot for maybe up to 5 decks at a time. i think none of you are close to this and don't want to pressure you at all about numbers of decks built. That said, we have a lot of decks that don't see much play. so, will the makers please state their preference for the following decks, keep or refile (for no response, i will keep the deck together), and please don't hesitate to keep any deck together if you wish:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Ben's WU Enchanted Evening: keep<br>
| + | |
| − | A box of eventide and shadowmoor cards of all five colors and no apparent theme (in a "shadowmoor" box): refile<br>
| + | |
| − | UB Merfolk Wizard deck containing the Jace blue Planeswalker and Mesmeric orb: scrap<br>
| + | |
| − | WB Rebel deck: refile<br>
| + | |
| − | RB Bloodfire Colossus Deck: refile<br>
| + | |
| − | Ben's BRU unblockable deck: refile<br>
| + | |
| − | B deck with Lord of the Pit and Devouring Strossus and Teeka's Dragon: <br>
| + | |
| − | Collection of BW cards themed on protection from white includes Western Paladin and Pentarch Paladin with lots of knights: yeah, you can scrap it<br>
| + | |
| − | W Kithkin deck with only 45 cards: refile<br>
| + | |
| − | Ben's GW Elf Deck: refile<br>
| + | |
| − | G Elf and Warrior deck: refile<br>
| + | |
| − | GU Changeling/Shapeshifter deck: refile<br>
| + | |
| − | A clear plastic box with a collection of shadowmoor, eventide, and 3 old animate deads; includes cards of all colors, and no rares, a shadowmoor rules insert and a bunch of crisp lands of all colors: refile<br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | And ben, i was going to organize your new cards and keep them separate as best i can, but they are already becoming mixed, i figure we can sort them out at such time that our magic days end (hopefully never).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN:Whatever. Just mix them in. I've pulled a couple of cards out from eventide that I'm going to try to sell at some point, like maybe 50 cards...of those, only 2-4 of them will probably end up being worth something, so the rest will be refile-able when that all becomes clear. Those cards are still at my place, I kept them separate (I hope, unless matt pulled them out of my room).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 15:14, 18 August 2008 (MST)OK, i'll mix the whole damn thing together. we'll work it out when the time comes, but until then it will be more functional together. Um, Ben, you sure about all those scraps, you will only have the Enchanted evening deck left.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | -------------------------------------------------------------------
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: I might have some, but I dont know what they are so they are probably forfeit. Right now I have 5 decks in rotation as well: Affinity, Sacrifice, Big Green, Zombies (needs lots of TLC) and Bounce (also needs lots of work). Besides those I found in that batch of crap I bought a 2003 World Championship deck (Daniel Zink's Wake deck). Its fairly annoying. It pretty much has two cards to deal damage in it, but if you are patient and play defense you cast one and end up with 45(!) 6/6 Flying angels.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 12:15, 18 August 2008 (MST) i just looked at the deck and I don't get it. how do you get 90 mana to run decree of justice?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 12:16, 18 August 2008 (MST) Gabe, is this deck one that you made? Black deck with Lord of the Pit and Devouring Strossus and Teeka's Dragon:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: You dont need 90 mana. You use Mirari's Wake to jack your mana up around 30 or so (have 2 in play), then use Mirari to put 3 or 4 copies of the spell on the stack and next thing you know, tons of 6/6 angels.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 12:52, 18 August 2008 (MST) so what, 10 land, with 2 mirari's wake = 30 mana. WW2 + 8 = 4 angels, then 18 mana left to run Mirari 6 times = 24 more angels. i get it. even one mirari's wake would get you 8 more angels, and 12 is probably enough to win. is it boring to play though or does the active defense keep you on your toes?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]]-- Still a cooler combo then that stupid infinate Tim. Yeah that was a temp deck, and actually its the Nuesence Engine that is KEY! You can certainly take it apart.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: The deck is exciting to play because you have such a limited amount of ways to do things and they all must be utilized. Its almost half land (27), and you have to sacrifice your land a lot to bring out color combos. You also have to use your sideboard during the game because one of the cards allows you to bring in cards from outside the game. Generally you get a huge mana advantage by about the 6th turn, but all you do is cast Wrath of God or otherwise destroy creatures and wait to draw something to win in one fell swoop. One of the sideboard cards costs GG5 and brings in a 4/4 beast token, but the card has storm, so at the bare minimum it gives you 2 guys (since you need to cast the one that lets you use your sideboard). Another storm card in the sideboard forces the opponent to sacrifice attacking creatures. These precon world championship decks only cost about $10, and even though the cards dont have standard magic backs or whatever, you can still play them, just not in other decks.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 15:07, 18 August 2008 (MST)Gabe, I can't believe you bitch about that. it is one of the best ultimate win combos i have seen. Jason, check this out and give us a cheez vs awesome rating: [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=159407 Morselhoarder] enchanted with both [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=158760 Sinking feeling] and [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=152159 Power of Fire].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 15:23, 18 August 2008 (MST) Hey Ed, I don't see that 5-color Elementals deck you made on the list above. If it's still intact, can you keep it around? I want to mess with it a bit, if you don't mind. I've been having fun with a horde of notions deck on Magic Workstation.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]]-- Bleh, whatever. 3 commons for an infinate? Insane. Plus its so hard to stop, you need spilt second otherwise its pretty much impossible to stop. I just don't like infinate combos.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: yup, that's fine. I can always make new ones. The GW elf deck has gotten sort of boring to play...time to come up with a new idea. Maybe save the knights? But it doesn't really matter. I'd really like to tune the Enchanted evening dec, wish we had some more mesa enchantresses...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: I dont think its all that cheesy, its a medium to high cheese. Its a 3 card combo that costs 11 mana to get in the game, and the cards by themselves are good but not great. There are many ways to thwart it. I think that Mirari/Mirari's Wake combo is way more cheesy (and devastating) in more situations. My friend Mike had a deck that allowed him infinite turns when he got his combo out. Thats pretty damn cheesy. Infinite damage can be mitigated, but infinite turns?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Matts|Matts]] 16:21, 18 August 2008 (MST)What I want to do next is Morselhoarder plus Sinking Feeling plus [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=154350 Banishing Knack]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: I hate infinite combos too, BUT: an infinite combo that starts with a six mana creature that then needs two enchantments on it? it's good, but I don't think it's cheesy.
| + | |

| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 17:01, 18 August 2008 (MST) nice, matt. did you come up with the morselhoarder combo or did you read it somewhwere? Brandon, the elemental deck is disassembled. horde of notion is available for use. however, i made another elemental deck. we have only two smokebraiders and one flamekin harbinger available because i sucked the others into my deck. they are commons, but i could not find any more of them in the 4set 25 cent bin because they rock. i have a bunch of elementals set aside because i was thinking about a horde of notions deck again, but decided not to make it. I'll leave this collection aside for your viewing pleasure.

| − | --[[User:Matts|Matts]] 17:34, 18 August 2008 (MST)I remember thinking it up, but I also remember reading an article about it, so at best the combo is pretty obvious. Fundamentally it's just a way to abuse untap, one of many. Not as many as comes-into-play abuse. That said, cheesy or not, who the hell is gonna let me get away with that move again now that the cat's out of the bag?

| − | --[[User:Brandon|Brandon]] 17:55, 18 August 2008 (MST) I started writing this earlier, before everyone else's responses, so it's both overkill and redundant, but I'll throw it on the pile now anyway. I'm confused as to why you think this combo is so hard to disrupt. I can think of 3 straightforward ways off the bat to disrupt it: (1) counter any one of the three pieces as they come into play, (2) kill or bounce the Morselhoarder (with direct damage, terror, disperse, etc.) at any point before the last enchantment resolves, or (3) destroy the first enchantment before the second resolves (disenchant ftw!). And every color has access to at least one of these strategies at instant speed. Sure, it's hard to stop once the pieces are assembled, but it's kinda rickety until then, and it's pretty easy to see coming. That's why I kinda like when it does work, even though I'm not the biggest fan of infinite combos either. You have to do a lot of work to get this one going.

| − | Morselhoarder + Sinking Feeling + Power of Fire, Terror in response = 3 to 1 card advantage for the Terrorist, and an impressive advantage in terms of "mana efficiency."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Similarly, the attempted combo with Disperse in response = 2 to 1 card advantage for the Disperser, and the same advantage in terms of mana spent.

| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] -- B'ah! I say, B'ah! I think the combo is a lot more powerful in two-headed giant as well because you gotz the other player distracting or blocking, countering, whatever. Infinate turns is pretty cheese though, I'd like to see that.

| − | --[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 09:48, 19 August 2008 (MST) brandon said it best. and with 2 head giant, you have two people to save one terror, disenchant or unsummon. easy peasy to block this combo.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Hence why I dont like two headed giant. It can mask a huge weakness of a deck as well as make a very well constructed deck cease functioning. The opponents have twice the opportunity to defend against you and as long as both you and your partner dont suck at the same time it doesnt matter. But really, that doesnt address the issue: is it cheesy? Everything in magic can be defended. Even the old 1st turn wins are not as relevant (Force of Will, anyone?). The question isnt can the opponent prevent it, but will they.

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.
