My heart beats like drum... like drum... drum,drum,drum... :-)

boros deck sucks wake up guys

by twndomn on 2007-01-17 04:37 EST

That heartbeat is called Nevermind.

The deck doesn't need Mind's Desire, MD is begging to be stifled. Instead, just keep generating mana and spells by saving extra mana before each early harvest and "chain" the spells with FoF and gift. This deck is slower than Ritual Desire, but moment's peace gives it a great aggro matchup.

by ChristPunchr on 2007-01-17 04:59 EST

You almost won, Bob. I guess pwnz won. Grats to all.

Aside from coming into play tapped, eight post is better than tron in every way. Hell, eight post doesn't even need to sweat getting colour-fucked one third less of the time than tron. Gogo eight post...a more consistant choice. It occured to me that my worthless hate shouldn't go to eightpost.

by Eldariel on 2007-01-17 06:39 EST

8-post is more vulnerable early on, but stronger later on. It's all a toss-up on what you expect. On another note, the meta is so ripe for Deadguy to rip it up again.

I dont like that Goblins decklist, but it beat me with that single goblin pyromancer =(. I'm sad.

a problem arises is that if u dont have any cloudposts, but you have vesuvas, now your just a u/w control w/ slow lands. Tron on the other hand has mulitple pieces that it can get easily w/ draws, and tron is less resistant to sundering titan.

by sandoiche on 2007-01-17 10:54 EST

sad, i had to drop in round 3, but i think i could bet that goblin :(

gj anyway

by ChristPunchr on 2007-01-17 13:34 EST

Yeah Bob, but I would rather bank on drawing a 'post than all pieces of a tron set. Besides eight post seemed to win.

Yeah, Eldarieal, deadguy would do some pwning. I wonder how many were present during this trial.

by therooster on 2007-01-17 14:11 EST

The way I see it, if you draw 2 cloudposts, you get 4 mana. If you draw 3 tron pieces and fail to complete the set, you are getting 3 colorless from 3 lands.

If you draw 3 cloudposts, you get 9 mana. If you draw the tron set, you get 7 mana from 3 lands. From a sheer mana standpoint, the posts are better... but at a cost of a bit of speed. You can still go post-post-signet or post-land-counter mana though.

by ChristPunchr on 2007-01-17 14:58 EST

Thing with posts is that you also get the same mana advantage for playing the second one, so whatever. Fuck tron.

by Wolfo on 2007-01-17 20:05 EST

He said it correctly. It is called Nevermind. I honestly think it is alot more consistant than TEPS

It is.
I'm just sad it wasn't my version up there.
But eh, can't complain.
A good deck with a good pilot is bound to hit the limelight.

Played a bit with this 8-post UW and i thought that splashing 2 dual lands with G in it + more fetch lands + 2 gifts ungiven to search for life from the loam, cloudpost, vesuva, academy ruins (or a mindslaver instead of 1 of these cards if we don't have 1 in a grave or on the hand) to get the lands back with loam and lock the opponent with mindslaver and academy ruins a litle faster would be a good idea. I made some cosmetic changes and here it is:
1 Lonely Sandbar
1 Secluded Steppe
1 Temple Garden
1 Breeding Pool
3 Hallowed Fountain
1 Windswept Heath
3 Flooded Strand
4 Cloudpost
3 Vesuva
1 Academy Ruins
2 Island
3 Plains
3 Exalted Angel
1 Triskelion
1 Eternal Dragon
2 Mindslaver
4 Azorius Signet
4 Condescend
3 Remand
3 Repeal
4 Wrath of God
3 Decree of Justice
3 Memory Lapse
2 Fact or Fiction
2 Gifts Ungiven
1 Life from the Loam

And it works pretty good, I just get what i need a lot faster and i managed to "install" a solid draw engine (2 cycle lands + loam).
