Deck discussion for Insects!

I'm not sure if shroud will protect from pestilence. As far as I understand it, pestilence doesn't "target" the creatures, so they still take the damage. But I could be wrong.

'Pestilence deals 1 damage to each creature' I would say as you pay for it, it is an ability and therefore my creatures are protected. I suppose a definition of 'ability' is needed?

Pestilence is a global spell when used, its not targeting any one creature but zapping all out in play for one, other wise it would say on the card it self target creatures, Whisper skill cloaked creatures and shrouded creatures still take 1 damage and if you do not belive me look up the DCI rullings on Pestilence nice try though.

'Call to the Grave' is global, so i guess this is the same?

pretty much can't be helped, they just happen since its on global scale instead of targets.

Alex, every post I have ever seen you make says that the deck (or cards in the deck) sucks. Try bringing something constructive to the table before you open your mouth.

You people need to lighten up. Not everyone plays in competitive tournaments. If a deck is CLEARLY not for tourney play, shut the hell up.

Now, with that out of the way, I recommend Phantom Nantuko with Seedborn Muse or Momentum (or both!). That will take care of most of your blocking, especially against slow decks. I would then suggest Living Hive with that Whispersilk Cloak (and maybe a Coat of Arms) for your aggro.

Hmmm... Seems your own point helps to prove mine. All I'm saying is thjat it doesn't matter what's in the deck, it's how well it works together. And could we watch the language? There might be young people here and I don't want them to see how ignorant older people can be.

hahahaha whatever you want
i would also wish to tell you that indirectly insulting me and trying to be the well mannered older one
isn't working here .

you see maybe it's very stupid of me posting rude comments i know people don't like
but it's internet and i still do what i want on internet

cause free is how people want it to be.

and you are as ignorant as me caus eyou are telling me that your insect deck can beat me down.
listen i know that it's how everything works together and stuff like that .

but believe me that WHAT is in it is as important caus eif you play a 2/3 flyer for 4 with shroud on turn 4
i will play a goddamned 4/4 for 4 with an efficient effect.

so now this discussion is close cause if you think i am dumb and i can't build decks

you are at least worse than me and you really can't play magic

goodbye

I never insulted you. To be ignorant is to not know something, and we all have things to learn. A statement of fact is not an insult.

Notice how I said that my Insects would take any TWO of your decks. I recognize that there is a difference between the one on one Magic that most people on this site play and the three to five player free for all matches my friends play and take this into consideration when making comments. I build my decks to be able to beat three or four people, where as yours only need to beat one. Sixty life as opposed to twenty. Three attacks to block as opposed to one.

Now, as for me thinking that you're dumb... I never said that. Ignorant, stupid, and dumb are three completely different words with three completely different meanings. You are putting words in my mouth and I don't appreciate that. I did most certainly NOT think you were dumb until you illustrated so elloquently that you were with that halted, garbled, poorly thought out excuse for a post. i only call it how I see it, and what you showed me was not that impressive.

I'm sorry you took offense to me merely pointing out that the reason this site exists is to help fellow Magic players understand the game better instead of burning down their ideas and choices in cards. I hope that in the future we can be more civil towards each other and towards others who use this site.

And Fanboy, I would like to apologize for the both of us. The comment board of a deck is not the place for such childishness.

I know insect decks suck, thats the whole point of trying to build one that wins... imagine the face of my opponent when he loses to an insect deck LOL.

No worries about using my deck as a forum to slate eachother, it was amusing to read. Seriously, it's only a game!
