And i like hear your opinion of my zombie deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=291126
Love it, the Innistrad Block is a real breath of fresh air. From the mechanics to the huge amounts of flavor packed into every card...it's great! =D

Black - Nirkana Revenant, White - Mirran Crusader, Blue - Vendilion Clique, Green - Mycoloth, Red - Forked Bolt
Colorless - birthing pod because I love my deck I built around it :) White - orim's chant Green - preist of titania because she's boss! Black - Phyrexian obliterator Red - lightning bolt, hands down the best low cost creature killer ever made! Blue - brainstorm Out of my decks which one do you like the most? And which one do you hate the most? Don't be afraid to get ugly :)
Well for liking the most...It's a toss-up between either the Savra EDH, or that Isamaru EDH. Savra's always been one I've wanted to do, but I never got around to, and I like the layout of yours. And the Isamaru...with ever card costing 1, that's honestly really cool =] Hate the most...eh, I dunno man. It's actually NOT what you probably think it is, but I don't think I can pin one down right away =/
For the two asking for me to check out your decks, I will be sure to get to them, but it will probably be some time tomorrow =/
White would have to be Rule of Law, simply put I find it exemplifies the colour better than any other. Green I have to give to Nature's Claim, it's won more games for me than Tarmogoyf or ramp can hope since I've dabbled in eternal formats. Red card goes to Lightning bolt. I hate red. Blue I have to say that right now I'm digging Vendillion Clique, I'm playing CounterTop Emrakul in RUG, and it wins me soooo many games it's stupid. My favourite black card is Contamination right now, while everybody uses things they're still just tinkering around with to get them operational, I use MBC(muahahahahahahahaha) I must know, if you happen to be reading something currently, what is it?
I'm currently reading four books right now: Ender's Game, The Odyssey, Cat's Cradle, and The Mote in God's Eye =]
Or, if I want to be a smartass (which I do =P)...Your comment. http://www.myfacewhen.com/100/
I have The Mote in God's Eye on my shelf, but have yet to read it. I enjoyed The Odyssey however, but unlike most of my reading, I just can't bring myself to reread it regularly.
http://www.myfacewhen.com/84/ I wasn't prepared for the smartass Link
Ooh. Literary conversation. Mind if I join? Ender's Game; I started that one a couple years ago. I really enjoyed it, and I believe that it is definitely one of the best sci-fi series on the market. I've heard tremendously positive things about the rest of the series, but haven't gotten around to reading them. The Odyssey: My favorite epic, hands down. Unless you count War and Peace, which is prose, so... Compared to the Iliad, which is more invigorating and angry, I think the Odyssey really captures a great slice of human suffering. It's beautiful. I can't say I've heard of the others. Mind giving me a 1-2 sentence hook on them?
To be quite frank, while amazing as the Odyssey is, I've always found the Aeneid to be my preference for an epic read. Virgil's works are woefully underrated, and in my opinion eclipse the works of Homer. And Ender's Game is sadly on my to buy list, I had gone to get it at Barnes and Noble, but I found a H. P. Lovecraft anthology. My resolve shattered the instant I found The Colour Out of Space on the list XD
The Mote in God's Eye is probably the single greatest sci-fi story dealing with the first time humans encounter alien life. Cat's Cradle...Well damn, I'd almost go as far to say it's about everything. It's probably my favorite book of all time though, and I highly recommend it, it's one of those books that gives you a greater way of seeing the world =]
Vonnegut is great. Check out Joe Abercrombie if you want some great fantasy. He writes amazing characters.
B- captivating vampire/ U- counterspell/ G- overrun/ R- devils play/ w- mirran crussader (artifct- elixir of immortality/ colorless- the big eldrzis)
Red: Lightning Dragon, Green: Priest of Titania, Blue: Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, Black: Royal Assassin - White: Baneslayer Angel - Artifact: Karn, Silver Golem My question is simple: Do you have to be a nuclear scientist to construct well built AND coheirant MTG decks?
Hahaha, not quite, but you do have to be a little bit...unhinged =P
Unhinged... check. So what the hell am I doing wrong? I think I'll call the library tomorrow and ask for the MTG For Dummies *faceslap*
lol surewhynot, im pretty sure most of us have u to thank for ur imput on many of the decks on this site as well as many other ppl . fav cards hmm.. R-Dragonstorm B-Marrow-Gnawer G-Green Sun's Zenith U-Walk the Aeons W-Ghostly Prison Is there a deck u have always wanted to make, but havent ever obtained all the cards to make it??
Thanks man, appreciate that =] Actually there is. I've always wanted to make the original design of the infamous Tolarian Academy deck (as designed by Tommi Hovi in 1998). As an Extraction player, it might seem odd that I'd be so fascinated by a combo deck, but in truth, this was one of the first, and most brilliantly thought out combo decks ever made. It's kinda like a modern gunsmith still wanting an M1911, or a racecar driver wanting a Model-T =]
No love for Concede or Bleed? :O
I have respect, but not to the same degree as with Tolarian. At its time, nothing so genuinely inspired and, let's face it, counter-intuitive, had really been seen. When you actually break down the thought process of how he would have made a deck like that, at that time in MTG's history, with the cards available to him...It just blows your mind. It it, to me, the first "holy shit" deck.
not a prob, just givin credit where credit is due man. and hmm imma have to look that deck up now. i actualy havent herd of that deck before. sounds pretty insaine realy. sounds like it would be fun to attempt a damn near mirror version of it with modern day cards. idk if its possiable but hey might be worth lookin into lol.
I can dig it, I've just always had to give more respect to Concede or Bleed personally since it's what really made the world see what extraction tactics can do. Tolarian being one of the original "holy shit" decks doesn't mean as much to me as it being one of the first combo decks that functioned properly, I looked at that deck alongside ChannelBall for the basics for how I perceive a combo build.
Yeah, but CorB was still pretty straight forward...It's an amazing deck, and I obviously respect the hell out of it, but it wasn't so distinctly weird. Many of the components to Tolarian's combo were at that time, and still to this day, things a good player would generally never want to do, or even think of doing. If Tolarian didn't exist though, it'd probably be CorB =P
Ah, the laws of compound silliness in all of its greatness :)
Colorless- Omen Machine Red- Increasing Vengeance Blue- Havengul Runebender White- Leyline of sanctity Black- Zombie Apocalypse Green- Arachnus Spinner
Green- Channel Black- Doomsday Red- Goblin Game White- Astral Slide Blue- Force of Will hopefully im doing this right, but would you mind looking through some of my decks and giving me pros and cons? i kind of use this website to brainstorm on stuff, so some decks arent finished.
I've had this token deck idea on my phone app for a while and finally posted it with a couple critiques, I'd love some feed back http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=292430. My favorite card is indestructibility. I love the art :P
Omnath, locus of mana Pyromancer ascention Spreading seas Small pox Beacon hawk If goblins got a planeswalker, who would it be? Also, don't forget to read Ender's shadow after Ender's game. It is completely worth it.
That's...a good question. To be quite honest, a planeswalker for goblins would never actually exist. By their very nature it wouldn't make much sense for a goblin to have the spark. Granted, it's possible, just pretty unlikely. If it were to happen, it would more than likely be some human rebel that a bunch of goblins obey. If it were to ever be an actual goblin though...It would probably be Wort. She's actually portrayed as being intelligent for a goblin, and fits better than any others.
I've been hoping for awhile for a Squee walker, though I would be happy with Wort--she is probably the most wicked EDH general I run right now.
Yes, Squee has come up before. I would hate to see the mirror match with Squee as a planeswalker though.
I would have to say the following: Red - Lightning Axe Blue - Archive Trap Black - Nightshade Assassin Green - Green Sun's Zenith White - Akroma, Angel of Wrath Favorite Card of all - Mindcrank I love my Mill =D Whats it your most favourite card of all MTG? Check out my decks if you get a chance :) i would love to have your opinion. Cheers, Mujitshu
can bet his favorite card is Bloodghast
Yep. Bloodghast is my favorite =]
Favore cards... Black - Dark Ritual Blue - Counterspell White - Swords to Plowshares Red - Lightning Bolt Green - Llanowar Elves Artifact - Sol Ring Multi - Glimpes the Unthinkable My questions: What do you think of turn one Dark Ritual + Geralf's Messenger? Wanna check out my band? www.facebook.com/NineDayFall Keep kicking ass and makin decks my friend! DrumHead
Not as devastating as a turn one Liliana of the Veil, but still nothing to sneeze at =] And I checked out the band. Eh, it's not really my taste...Wumps is more the thrash metal kind of guy =/ But hey, I can't even play a Kazoo =P
Dude, Vendetta was SICK.
Liliana turn one is just brutal... i try not to think about it much. Haha! No worries on not diggin my band. It's definitely not for everyone. But after all this time everyone calling me drumhead... I figured i'd "show" my skills. White and blue, ironically I used to HATE that song because when we jam on it in my garage i can never hear the bass or guitar for crap so it never sounded like i was playing the right thing or in time, but after we recorded it i fell in love with the song and understood why my bassist and guitar player loved it so much. I had fun tracking some vocals for that one. Both times you hear "I will show no mercy" it's me doing it. Little screaming and singing. Oh, and Sure... I wish i could play the Kazoo too... it's a totally underrated instrument... ha!
Your band is growing on me a lot dude, and I can see how you would run into that problem in garage situation, your drumming is brutals man! I have yet to meet anybody in my life who can actually play a Kazoo, it truly is a difficult and underrated instrument. http://www.myfacewhen.com/i/450.jpg Liliana turn one is pretty brutal, but I still like turn one Thoughtseize better actually.
Oye, turn one thoughtseize into surgical extraction is still one of my favorite combos to abuse. My friends actually all started playing with mental misstep because of it... even my friend who despises blue! I appreciate the compliment on my drumming. It means a lot man. I'm self taught, so any compliment is always good. Have you "liked" us yet or are you still dealing with issues? Haha
No, I finally got my settings to work! And I look forward to hearing more of your drumming man, it's brutal as hell, but it's cleanly executed. Increasingly a rarity these days, so it's nice to hear somebody with 'touch'. Oh jeez... Doing that with misstep involved just means so many cards being dumped on turn one that it's silly.
Firstly I'd like to thank you for giving me a migraine level headache, you just had to make me chose one card for each colour -.- Well, here are my choices: Red = Dragonstorm. This card just screams "build a deck around me" and once I did, I got consistent turn 3 / 4 wins :) Green = Heritage Druid. I play a lot of 'hord' decks, mostly elves, and this elf gets me my bust of turn 3 attacking horde :p White = Guardians' Pledge. It's surprising how many people don't expect this card when I attack with 3 - 6 flying white wheenies and when I do play this, it normally wins me the game :) Blue = Propaganda. This awesome enchantment does exactly what I feel blue often needs, protects the player until the win condition is achieved (normally a combo). Black = Living End / Living Death. These 2 cards are effectively the same card, so I couldn't chose one. These cards do what I feel black is all about (flavour wise) - create life out of death. Colourless = Sensei's Devining Top. Effectively, this card increases your hand size by 3. And the fact that it is so difficult to get rid of makes it that much more awesome :p I currently own 8 of this card :D Land = Forbidden Orchid. The deck I use this in is by far my most favourite deck. Giving the opponent a small army often feels like a bad idea, but when you capitalize on it, the opnent starts to look for a way to get rid of the land and ignores the rest of the deck (most of the time) :p Have you ever lost any sleep because of one of your deck builds? Maybe because you couldn't figure out what or how to tweak the deck to make it that little bit more efficient / stable.
Hell yeah I've lost sleep thinking about decks! When I was working on redesigning PAL, I hardly slept at all.
Relentless Rats! :D Actually trying to make a budget-casual Relentless Rats deck. Any advice?
G-natural Order W----- dunno maybe Orim's Chant R-Lightning Bolt U-Force of will B- Demonic tutor multicolor-Progenitus Uncolor - karn If you play JRPG's what is your favorite one
Eh...only game I can think of that was in the JRPG format that I've ever played was the Pokemon franchise...and those are pretty fun =P
G - Glimpse of Nature B - Black Sun's Zenith U- Propaganda R - Hero of Oxid Ridge W- Enduring Ideal Colorless - Fluctuator ( Free Cycling in mine Living Death deck ) Multicolor - Huntmaster of the Fells ( That card is sick !!! )
My question is ... what's your favorite shard in Shards of Alara? BANT rules btw
colorless: sensei's diving top multicolor: geist of st traft black: thoughtseize red: atog blue: mana drain green: natrual slection white: balance
Green Sun's Zenith Cabal Therapy Mystical Teachings Koth of the Hammer Moat Etched Champion Glissa the Traitor Out of my decks... Coolest? Most unusual? Best? Worst? Favorite? Least Favorite? Most surprising?
Eh...I promise I WILL answer that...but when I have a LOT more free time =P
I know I'm not Sure, but this has gone long enough without anybody answering. Coolest? Praetor's Counsel, it was ridiculously neat. Most unusual? Landrush. It confused me for about a week that it worked. Best? I can't remember what you named it, but your Oath deck was amazing. Worst? Invoked Pain. Least Favorite? Your Enchantress deck, I hate those things with a passion. Most surprising? When you busted out your design for Affinity. I never expected affinity could beat Reanimator, even after the Mystical Tutor ban. You astonished me man.
White: Diving Griffin Blue: Phyrexian Metamorph Black: Vampire Nighthawk Red: Browbeat Green: Giant Growth Colorless: Energy Chamber Multi-Colored: Qasali Ambusher
Oh yeah and the question: How do you get your customized deck sleeves?????
SSHouston has deleted this comment.
You saw my question, eh? (just guessing)
Haha yeah guilty... It reminded me of the hour or two I spent online looking for some a couple months ago
My shop's owner knows a guy who does professional prints for various forms of media, including cards. As far as I know, there's no current "main stream" way to get customs unless you know a guy (or know a guy who knows a guy).
Ahh darn :/ gonna have to start "socializing" more now instead of playing skyrim/FIFA12 :(
Red - Kilnmouth Dragon or Magma Sliver. Cant decide. Green - Krosan Warchief. This was the first card I ever built a deck around, I remember it had Thresher Beast and Canopy Crawler in it. It was pretty bad, but no one's first deck is ever that good. White - Serra Avenger I guess. I don't play white much. Blue - Azami, Lady of Scrolls. The card draw is outrageous to the point of being unfair. Black - Hymn to Tourach. Getting hit with a pair of them early in a game is just so hard to recover from, I guess you could say its my least favorite card as well. Multicolored - Boggart Ram-Gang. I dunno why, but I love this card to death. Colorless - I gotta agree with Ded on this, the Diving Top is friggin good. What he said, but I only own a single copy that I pulled from a pack (sadly). Land - Fetid Heath. Amazing mana source, amazing art, amazing everything. If you could get Wizards of the Coast to print a card, what would it be? Flavor text and name are bonus.
I've had a few ideas through the years, and have even had fun making pretty convincing proxies of some of them. That said, of the many ideas, one was always the coolest to me. http://magic.falseblue.com/output/1328672263.png And there it is =]
You made a Morbid card, YAY (My fav Morbid card is Tragic Slip atm, and I'm about to get my playset with banana peels under the guy(s) feet, slipping into the grave.) :P
Cthulhu would like to have some words with that flavour text.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, yet in strange aeons, even Death may die." Good sir, I don't think these are strange aeons =P
Hmm I think I might get that quote as a tattoo :) I actually really like it lol
Sweet card, somehow I knew you would choose a black/white spirit =D
http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/227/640/Challange.JPG Now to gather the pieces...
Whooooop!! Congrats!! Now Comment on my DKA decks (when they're up...in a couple weeks. I want them perfected) White - Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (built my first mono colored edh with her) Blue - Time Stretch Black - Stinkweed Imp Red - Chaos Warp Green - Wellwisher Multicolored - Glissa, the Traitor Planeswalker - Ajani Vengeant Colorless - Sword of Fire and Ice Land - Odyssey Forest, print #1 Can you send me some customized sleeves some time? :P Keep it up bro!
Nantuko Husk has always been a favorite of mine. Not the most powerful thing or the most useful or expensive but just one of my favorites for some bizarre reason. Out of your decks I would have to say that Teysa EDH is my favorite. I wanted to make a Teysa EDH but never got around to it. Built Angus, Fumiko and Geth instead.
ok i now feel like a troll for this but can anyone who cares enough check out this deck? and any of my others i need advice about them http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=290554
Scornful egotist wellwisher goblin gardener (the flavour text is simply epic) phage the untouchable eternal dragon Multi: lightning angel Artifact: colossus of Sardia (the fact that these are all creatures was unintentional, but I generally find them the most flavoursome/awesome cards) Q: How many colours do you most enjoy playing in EDH?
Well, the majority of my EDH decks are 2 colors I think...but I don't know if that's a preference toward the number of colors, or if it's more a coincidence that the generals I like to use tend to be 2 colors =/
Fun deck idea! Blue: Bribery Green: Survival of the fittest Red: Warp world White: Tempered steel Black: Demonic tutor Artifact: Memnite (as indicated by my username) What is the funnest card to play with for you?
Haha, this is gonna be fun! White: Champion of the Parish Red: Lightning Bolt Green: Birds of Paradise Black: Phyrexian Arena / Liliana of the Veil Blue: Mana Leak What are your favourite colors to play and what do you like in them most? I would also very much appreciate if you could have a look at my first EDH deck, I am new to this style, so anything you can say about it would be helpful. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=292576 Thanks in regard.
Black: Extirpate Blue: Energy Field Green: Joraga Warcaller Red: Raging Goblin (for the flavor text) White: Preeminent Captain Colorless: Howling Mine Multicolor: Glimpse the Unthinkable Mind checking out my human deck when you get a chance? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=271272
Blue: Arcanis the Onmipotent Black: Temporal Extrortion Red: Mana Clash White: Pertarch Paladin Green: Glimpse of nature Just any suggestons on any deck reanimate
Progenititus nuf said
I actually remember trying to make an exile deck, many times(and failing at each and every single one of them...) Anyways, do you think this will see tourny play or are spirits getting too powerful to do anything else(except spam black sun's zenith 11 times in 1 match, I've seen it done, lol) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=267696
Oops, should say a favorite card at least. Well, while I don't really have too much of an idea yet, I'd say Goblin Grenade(or Gobo Grenade as I call it), Scrapyard Salvo or Goblin Gavilier. Grenade because it's the lulz of "Play a playset of grenades and win" and Scrapyard since someone could go creeping corrosion on you then you smack them for like 10+ damage with one spell right afterwards. The Gavilier is hiralious when you put outlots of 0 cost artifacts, cast Gavilier and bludgeon brawl, put everything on the gobo then swing for 20+, lol.
Black: Grave Titan Blue: Preordain Green: Beast Within Red: Goblin Grenade White: Gideon Jura Artifact: Mimic Vat My question is can you help me I have a start city invitational and I plan On playing Red black white flare but I need help perfecting it http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=293207 Thanks for reading my nonsense
Haha, a SWN AMA? Sounds good. W:Mobilization, or Elspeth Tirel. U: Scornful Egotist. Just the concept of him cracks me up. B:Since I feel like saying Dark Ritual would be a cop-out, I'll go with Sign in Blood. R:Taurean Mauler. That guy is BOSS in multiplayer games. G: Seton, Krosan Protector. Long-time attachment to that guy--most badass artwork, imo. Colorless:Arcbound Crusher, because of the good times we've had. Multi:Azorius First-Wing, or Dragon Broodmother. Question: Which is your favorite set, judged purely on flavor?
Ravnica hands down. Although, Innistrad block is, I'm happy to say, looking to give it a run for its money.
I'm liking Innistrad more and more--it's doing great things with tribal, which is one of my loves in Magic. I do feel like white and black are overpowered in respect to the other colors--which makes sense as to the flavor, but still affects the balance for me.
Fav red - Definately Lightning Bolt, the single best creature removal card in history! Blue - Mana Leak, it's just so much fun to play with. White - Doomed Traveler, he just never dies. Green - Llanowar Elves, one of the most awesome ramp cards ever. Black - Dark Ritual, so great for getting quick combos out or just plain old lightning fast ramp. Colourless - Solemn Simulacrum, one of the most versatile cards ever printed. Q. What are your favorite cards out all the colours and colourless cards?
White- Akroma, Angel of Wrath Green-Berserk Red-Sneak Attack Black-Reanimate Blue-Stasis As for my question....i'm investing in these 2 modern decks. Here's the links. Could you please throw any suggestions and let me know. I don't wanna invest in the money for the decks if it's something im gonna take apart for not being strong enough. And i'm at a stump with them. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=288108 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=292993
Colorless- Elixer of Immortality Multicolored- Teysa, Orzhov Scion White- Linvala, Keeper of Silence Black- Kokusho the Evening Star Blue- Arcanis the Omnipotent Green- Terastadon Red- I'm not sure how Kiln Fiend isn't up here yet Land- River of Tears If you found the time and wouldn't mind taking a look at the Red burn I'm running I'd appreciate it. Anyways, continue enjoying the game...looking at your decks usually inspires creativity and helps me, so thank you.
Blue- Sygg, River Cutthroat/ Boomerang Black- Massacre Wurm/ Sygg, River Cutthroat White- Brave the Elements Red- Red Elemental Blast Green-Birthing Pod Land- Dark Depths merci pour ta temps( Thank u for your time)

Progentius and could you post a deck for standard Zombies
PLEASE tell me what you think about: Lim-Dul's vault Ivory mask I just think they can be incredible strategy breakers
Titanic Ultimatum. If you cast this and don't win, then your slated for defeat.
I'll try to answer the rest of these questions as soon as I can, but for now, it'll have to wait until the weekend =/
Lol Sure. You gonna update the deck anytime soon?
(I'm counting him as just blue) Nicole bolas elder dragon because he is the most absurdly powerful planes walker there is green- thrun the last troll red- wheel of fortune White- white sun's zenith Black- Liliana of the veil Colorless- sword of feast and famine If you were to play any deck in dka standard what would it be?

Anyway, i know there are allot of requests on here, but i have a standard deck that i like, and I am trying to make better, if anyone could take a look at it and give some advice i would be very grateful. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=293436

Some people might point to when I posted my second deck on this site. It's not even my best deck, but for whatever reason, everyone loved it, and everyone wanted to get advice from "the dude with the 600 likes deck" Personally, while I understand that's probably a part of it, I like to think that it's a product of my willingness to help people, and give my honest opinion. I am positive I haven't gotten to every deck people have asked me to check out...hell, I have hardly started on the requests from this deck! However people always appreciate help, and I like to think my popularity is a reflection of that. Everyone is on my good side! Some people manage to get on my BAD side, that the thing. Some are lucky enough to get on my very good side as well. If you want to know how to avoid my bad side, here's the basic thing. To quote one of my favorite teachers growing up, "There are questions, and there are statements." What he meant was there is a huge difference between, "I need advice" and "I've made this new deck that works pretty well, but I'm having issues with _________. I think it could be _________ or maybe _______, but I'd like your help with a second opinion. Could you tell me what I might be missing?" For example, the post above this, I am definitely not going to respond to.
A hundred comments; ACHIEVED
Hey surewhynot, I've been a big fan of yours ever since about Christmas of 2010.. I've never had the time to make myself an account but the first thing I did was follow you! For my favourite cards: - Blue: Jace, the Wallet-Fucker - Green: Taunting Elf - Red: Lightning Bolt - Black / White: Seek - Land: Library of Alexandria Question -- If you could recommend something for me to do for people to recognize my decks, what would it be? If you could possibly check out my first deck on the site and the future ones to come, I would be absolutely flattered.. Here it is: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=294812 Thanks and good luck!
Hi ya! I like many of your ideas, and have taken many ideas from your decks in to my more expensive decks, as im a casual player and not too good with expensive cards. I was impressed when I read that you would like Tommi Hovi's deck. Im from Finland and Hovi is like our national mtg hero, because hes the only one that has won the nationals in our country. So, my fav cards; Black - Royal assasin (I dont play black at all, and dont like almost any of its cards) White - Akroma, The angel of wrath or Preeminent Captain (My fav deck is my soldiers) Red - Reverberate (I dont know why, but its in every red deck I make) Blue - Time Stop (Dunno why so simple card, just so much fun) Green - Troll Ascetic (My first card that I loved, and everyone else hated, played it in every deck at my starting days) Multi - Soulquake (fun fun fun fun fun) Artifact - Loxodon Warhammer (Friends just keep on hating =D) My question: Give me a deck idea, something simply crazy/odd. Something that shouldnt work, or no one would think of. A combo to build around, or tribal, or just simply some good ability/synergy.
favorite white: Orim's Chant or Swords to Plowshares favorite red: Banefire or Lightning Bolt <---(duh!) favorite blue: I HATE blue favorite black: Dark Ritual or Demonic Tutor favorite green: Natural Order or Genesis Wave favorite artifact: Sensei's Divining Top or Sol Ring favorite land: Gaea's Cradle favorite multi: Mayael the Anima favorite planeswalker: Ajani Vengeant or Garruk, Primal Hunter

Kaervek the Merciless Sphinx-bone wand Sorin Markov/ Venser Phage the Untouchable (i like trying to figure out really annoying combos with her) could you check out my deck- it needs a lot of work.... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=295377 and grats on the deck!

Cheers! Blue: Chronozoa, my favourite card. I continue to make a lot of decks with it. Green: Vigor. That's just awesome. Red: Pyromancer Ascension. This card screams build me a deck! Black: Nether Traitor. I don't know why, I just like the reanimation effect I think. White: Windborn Muse. Multyplayer is much more safe to play with her at your side :D As for the question... wich color do you see better paired with chronozoa and why? Don't look at my decks, I'm looking for new ideas.
Favorite DA-card today is: Faithless Looting:)
Colorless: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. What's not to love? 15/15 flying time walking annihilating, nearly invincible win conditions are like, totally balanced and cool. (seriously, I love this guy despite how wtfridiculous he may be) White: Stoneforge Mystic. She's just, well, groundbreaking. The consistency she provides to decks is almost too perfect, hence why she's banned in nearly everything. Blue: Spellstutter Sprite. She's just an incredible counterspell if utilized properly. Green: This one is hard.... Its a toss-up between Wellwisher and Obstinate Baloth. In my mono-green Eldrazi deck, nothing was more satisfying than sideboarding in 3 of these, and being able to draw/green sun 4 of them into play nearly 100% against lolreddeckwins. :D Red: I hate red, plain and simple. If I had to choose, well, I couldn't. I hate everything red has ever been and ever will be. Maybe Scrambleverse? Namely because its way too complex of a card for any red deck user to wrap their minds around, even if it is impractical. lol Black: Another insanely tough choice... Probably Shephard of Rot. Again, in my "TRIBAL ONRY" days, I think my mono-black Zombie suicide deck was my favorite, and this guy is the reason. Artifact: Is it unfair of me to name a colorless card and an artifact? :x (Sword of Feast and Famine. 'nuff said... can you tell I'm a Stoneblade player yet? lol) QUESTION: You seem to be a rather respected deck builder on this site... What are your thoughts on, or how would you approach the creation of a control deck in Modern? QUESTION: Do you think the banning list in Modern makes any sense, in contrast to some of the things not banned(Polymorph, Emrakul, Splinter Twin)?
Again, I'm not Sure, but things have gone so long without answers, and I'm bored with nothing better to do right now. I personally am against a LOT of the cards on the banned list for modern, but there are reasons for a lot of it. In light of what I've seen of the format, more so from play experience than my designs, I think it would make more sense at this point to just lift a few bans than ban more power cards. I never thought there was reason to ban Punishing Fire, GSZ, or that they banned both Ponder AND Preordain. It made no sense, and I think they know they went overboard with it. Perhaps overcompensating for the original banned list. I personally think the banned list could use some trimming, or refining at least, and one of the few cards I'd suggest going forwards to ban right now is Spinter Twin.
Yeah, I really apologize to those I haven't gotten back to, but I've been very busy lately and quite frankly, every time I look at the number of questions in here, I just about crap my pants. http://www.myfacewhen.com/163/ That about sums it up^ And WnB just about got it. The ban list in Modern is flat out idiotic, and whether WotC has realized this or not, it's their original asinine decisions that have solidified my choice to not give two craps about the format. Mostly what pisses me off though, is the fact that after banning Mental Misstep in modern, they decided it "only made sense" to ban it in damn near everything else. I'll be the first to tell you, Misstep is NOT THAT GOOD. It's a sideboard card, almost every time. One thing it DID do, however, was it kept Storm in check...at least to an extent. Now that it's gone, ask anyone what deck is wrecking Legacy (again, I might add), and you'll get similar answers.
I standby my thoughts of the era when I had Mystical Tutor; Reanimator kicks storm in the balls. Repeatedly. I've even been racing TES with Dredge nowadays man, it might be time to find a new target for the hate finally. Early on I hated storm because I didn't know how to stop it, but after playing it as much as I have from both sides of the table, I find Maverick to be more obnoxious.
Well I started playing back in the 4th Edition days and quit when Visions came out. I have recently started back up just shortly after Innistrad hit the shelves and have been sucked back in. I MISSED ALOT OF SHIT. So as to my favourites, I'm disregarding the new and taking it back to the old school flavor that first got me started. Red - Lightning Bolt White - Tundra Wolves Black - Mind Twist Blue - Counterspell (original art) Green - Birds of Paradise / Channel Artifact - Ornithopter Land - Strip Mine Multi-colour - Dakkon Blackblade

Red: Galvanic Blast (mostly because when i had a deck with 3 in it, i would win just by using all 3 at once XP) Blue: honestly this is hard for me cause im big on using blue, but if i really had to choose i might say stormtide leviathan because thats the first "blue" card i got that i used as a staple in my deck haha Green: ive never made a green deck until i made a random mana rampage/sphinx deck :P....but i say Giant Growth! White: Puresteel Paladin (hes big in a few of my decks) Black: Painful Quandry (its just fun..especially when you get 2 out hehe) Artifact: Etched Champion...his artwork rocks and his ability is fun lol umm so i was wondering if you would check out a deck i made lol (the first is experimental) and then maybe look at the one im trying to use as my main (even though its mill and everyone says thats not too great >.< haha http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=292866 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=227392
Black - Recurring Nightmare Blue - Master Transmuter White - Magus of the Moat Red - Inferno Titan Green - Mossbridge Troll Colorless - Batterskull Feel free to elaborate on my question to whatever extent you're okay with doing. If you had a deck that had a "finishing combo" in it with Life's Finale followed by a Grimoire of the Dead activation, what would be a few other cards you'd choose to be in it lower on the mana curve (< 6)? (standard or not). I'm not asking you to build a deck for me don't worry haha. Inspiration is all. :) I was kind of going black and green with my ideas so far.
Black- hypnotic specter blue- magus of the future white- orims chant red- hostility green- rites of flourishing colorless- skullclamp would you take a look at my w/r aggro
black - reanimate white - balance green - aluren blue - treasure hunt red - mana clash colorless - Emrakul the Aeons Torn multi-color - Progenitus I've made decent decks that were only land only creatures only artifacts Can a decent legal 60 card deck be built that is only instants and sorceries (no land or creatures)? Your hand opening hand is 1 dark ritual, 1 entomb, 1 thoughtseize, 1 reanimate and 3 swamp? What creature would you entomb after successfully thoughtseizeng your opponent?
Again, I'm going to take over any questions on here that amuse me. I'd probably go with Jin Gitaxias if they didn't look like they would be able to deal with it in time, Iona if it was mono-coloured, or Empiryal Archangel, or Sphinx of the Steel Wind if it's GWx. This is all depending on what they have in hand post Thoughtseize, it's really a judgement call you have to have a bit more infor to make.

Well played worthy adversary! -Adam West
Black- Dark Ritual Red- Chandra's Spitfire Green- Dungrove Elder Blue- Pact of Negation White- Lingering Souls. Colorless- Sword of Fire and Ice Multi- Figure of Destiny Land- Unholy Grotto Question: When you have time, would you like to do a deck challenge against me based on one tribe? Both of us build our own variations, get some people to judge them? It would be really fun to find a super obscure tribe and try to see what you and I can do!
Black: Phage the Untouchable Blue: Jace, Mind Sculptor White: Avacyn, Angel of Hope Green: Vigor Red: Tybolt the Fire-blooded Colorless: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
