omg what a crappy top 2, enjoy ur luck while it last

---

by yavin1 on 2006-12-28 18:32 MDT

i like both those list. GJ BW control (even though you extend off martyrtron which i despise) and snow blue men. i never thought id see either of the decks in trial placers again. Also, in snow blue men, why no vexing spynx? GJ all

---

by kevinconvery on 2006-12-28 18:55 MDT

that BW list is very good, congrats to Babar but Eldariel, much respect for coming up with a great list for blue beats. Gotta try that.

---

by aggroking on 2006-12-28 20:49 MDT

grats to aggroking fo placing 4th with a 3:0 drop.

never seen such a big trial

---

by thedarkness on 2006-12-28 20:51 MDT

Yeah..nobody listened to my "random jank in 1700+ trials" comment..but nobody NOTICED my "not all random jank is bad" side comment. -.-

[quote]omg what a crappy top 2, enjoy ur luck while it last[/quote]

.........if they can beat out random decks AND tier one decks, which not all tier one decks can do (many tier 1 decks simply scoop to as much as 50% of the popular not-so-rogue decks), then I don't see how they're bad. :\

Like I always say..test before you flame.

But you can't test people, so... stfu retard.

---

by Babar on 2006-12-28 21:04 MDT

I played against Zoo, UG aggro, Rider Blink, Wu Martyrtron and Snowblue men, I think it s tier one decks exept the last fun one ^^ (sideboard wasn't tested...)

by Domesplitter on 2006-12-28 21:27 MDT

and once agian no one plays moratorum stone

by koby on 2006-12-28 21:54 MDT

Nice BW build congrats on win.

---

by WasD on 2006-12-28 23:14 MDT

grats Kaesh and aggroking ^^

---

by DragonMago on 2006-12-29 00:40 MDT

I will try to write an article on how long do these posts need to degenerate in a flame war, but you can be sure they ALWAYS degenerate in a flame war.

BTW, congrats to the tops, and good luck to all the brave ones that dare sail the seas of the modern standard

by Eldariel on 2006-12-29 01:43 MDT

yavin: I had Sphinx in there, but simply put, it has too low a life expectancy for the deck. I cut on the 3-caster creatures in general as I want to be countering Wraths and such at that point. I've got an Ubr Madness-deck where it shines though.

I played against UW Martyrtron, RG LD, BW Beatz and BW Control.

---

by _polaris- on 2006-12-29 03:17 MDT

Nice trial good to see some diversity to the meta.

Grats to the top 4 and @ babar how did the singles of the urza's land work for you?

---

by PV on 2006-12-29 04:35 MDT

I really really like the first place deck, very good job
The second deck is obviously awful, though ^^

---

by tato- on 2006-12-29 10:59 MDT

Omg top2 decks are awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

by kokusho6 on 2006-12-29 12:59 MDT

the mono U men top 8ed in a master its not that bad, and all u haters wheres ur deck??

---

by Taoofss on 2006-12-29 13:13 MDT

question about the top deck, no sacred mesa? seems better in the deck than chronosavant.

---

by PsyK on 2006-12-29 20:48 MDT

grr martyr of poop, ruins the metagame :P

---

by Lackeos on 2006-12-30 03:49 MDT

Why is it that good players always play good decks and always top 4, while random players play random decks and randomly top 4?

Is the answer too self-evident?

---

by ChristPunchr on 2006-12-30 04:04 MDT

Established players use tried tested and true staples generally, while randoms fuck around a bit more(generally speaking), methinks.

Losing to whatever in a masters when you rating is 1800+ is a huge blow to points.

'Grats to Eldariel though, I always see him playing fairly unique decks and making pretty solid finishes with them, even though they look like jank at a glance...there is obviously something about them that allows them to do so.
Hopefully two of those things aren't lucksackery and not playing boros or whatever.

---

by NoV on 2007-01-01 17:13 MDT

Good job Babar .
Just one question , wouldn't martyr of bones be a better sb solution than withered wretch ?

---

by Babar on 2007-01-01 17:45 MDT

I didn't try but yes 15 black card main deck seems to be enough with zombify opportunity.

---

by NoV on 2007-01-01 18:00 MDT

and I'm currently testing demonic collusion instead of diabolic tutor , pretty awesome buybacking tutor with arena on play and some stuff like chronosavant or martyrs to discard .
Changed also the md void for a persecute .

I really like your deck . :)
