God damn...This just might rival the evil factor of my Pure Evil deck. I'm not sure who'd win to be honest. I do know one thing though...if it was a multi-player game the other players would need to be cleaned up with a mop. =]

Please explain to me, and the others, what is so complicated about "Hey kid, whatever mana you don't use, is gonna damage you."

Yes, the stack and shenanigans related to it, specifically sacrificing during combat damage being put onto the stack, is more complicated. However, being a more complicated trick, an older player would just be a jerk if he did that, or similar tricks, to a new player. So, overall, those arguments about the stack are moot.

Additionally, I'd argue that, and I have dealt with this a few times before, explaining the new rules regarding trample and deathtouch is FAR more complicated than any of the complications that wizards tried to fix with the new rules.

I play with friends, and casually overall, so my friends and I simply ignore these rules...but we aren't really the one's screwed over here. New players, I'd argue, are not going to be good at this game due to the ease of the new rules. Additionally, their frustrations from not being as skilled as they could be will be compounded when they try to understand the complexities of the new rules' changes. So sure, there's a jump in new players trying out Magic, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's an additionally large drop-off.

So that's my major frustration with the new rules. Not what it'll do to how I play, because it doesn't, but what it IS doing to how new players play the game.

That isn't the point nor the issue. I'm merely saying that if he, or anyone in fact, wants to make an adequate and intelligent argument, cussing and ranting in blatant illiteracy does not help his (or their) cause.

Eh, y'know after playing it with the Tarns and Catacombs, I think I'm gonna take them back out.

Commas and periods (and spellcheck) are your friends. =]

Yeah tell me about it. My buddy uses an Assassin deck (pretty awesome actually) and it is VERY hard to play against when I play my Bant deck.

BUT THAT'S STRATEGY! And it was FUN! -_-

....Bastards.

Brad Nelson's a douchebag. You can quote me on that.

You bet your ass. Playing with old-school rules makes my Black Sacrifice deck 3000% more fun =P

Me: "I'll swing with all these guys. OH! and also my Bloodthrone"

Opponent: "Ok...The Bloodthrone's a 1/1?"

Me: **>_>**

Me: "...Sure"

Opponent: "Alright I'll block those guys and take 1"

Me: "Actually, I'll sac everything else to pump Bloodthrone...so you're instead taking...17 damage."

Opponent: "I lost..."

Me: "Damn right."

Just show them the card Braid of Fire as one of MANY examples of how freakin' stupid removing mana burn is.

If that doesn't work, slap them and tell them surewhynot says you're playing with mana burn damn it!

Actually, Reverberate is a horribly inefficient card. It's blue-colored precursor, Twincast, IS good and so I think that's where people get this false idea of Reverberate also being good. Twincast is great for setting up storms, massive mills, etc. It helps increase the efficiency of a blue deck. Reverberate will cause a loss of efficiency instead.

I'd lose the Pulse dude. They don't really fit. =/

Otherwise this is a really nice treefolk deck. And indeed fast.

All very nice, but also they're all rather expensive. Putting in any one of them would cause a big-time mana shift, and I don't want that =]

Yeah, I'd say take out your lens and 1 gear. Also, whoever says Mox Opal is the "worst Mythic ever" is just a blatant idiot. Plain and simple. Mox Opal is the only way to win on turn 2 in standard right now. You call that bad? How about a metalcraft deck that can play its entire hand on the first turn, and have faster battlefield presence than a typical green deck? And I don't suppose 2-3 of the current top tourney decks in standard would use "the worst Mythic ever"? Oh wait, they do.

No offense if the person who said it is someone you know, but seriously, those people have absolutely no idea what they're talking about and it's painfully obvious. (They also probably think their Myr deck is "SOOOO COOL!" -_-)

Just the 3 card trick. He uses it with a complete BS combo deck -_- (thankfully he rarely plays it)

Looks great, but is clearly missing Guul Draz Vampire =]

TIM, not TIMMY. Sheesh, know your jargon =P

Anyway, this is a pretty nice ping deck, I like it. You should take a looky at mine when you get a chance.

By the way, I noticed your next deck will be # 50. Any big plans for the milestone? I myself am trying to figure out what to make for my 75th. =]

Haha, I have a buddy who does this. Works well for him.

Nedz MOAR Mox Opal. =]

Hehehe, I like it. I'm glad you enjoy my persona of an evil face =]

(Btw, sweet song choice =P)

Really? You're Mr. 300? Thanks dude, I was always wondering who put me to 300 =]
