Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

[beeboy]

Anyone one here going to GP ottawa?

[beeboy]

Also are any of you playing standard? If so, what deck?

I've been playing Temur aggro and it has been lots of fun + I win lots of games.

[beeboy]

Dang last minute my parent's won't let me go to a GPT today ): I was really hoping to get some last minute byes.

[beeboy]

anyone wanna play edh with me and maestro on octgn?

I'm a cockatice user but I will download octgn if you want to play another time

[beeboy]

i can build my own deck just tell me how strong it should be.
Also i know the rules but i have never played edh

[beeboy]

In a deck like heroic is scry (god's willing) considered better than power (feat of resistence)

[beeboy]

I also don't think that stratus walk is worth running over a second aqueous form

[beeboy]

woops I thought it was also 1 mana my bad

[beeboy]

I find it weak overall

[beeboy]

Maybe I just play the decks that beat it so I am biased

[beeboy]

I went to play standard today and had a lot of fun
went 3-1 with Temur aggro idk what to do with the store credit I am getting as I don't want to build a 3rd deck since I don't think I am capable of building a deck bit by bit I will probably get the 1st couple of cards with store credit then I will just sell of my my traders for 40% of there value and half of my savings to get the rest of them. I just ended up getting unhinged lands XD

I just realized all my round wins where game 1 loss into 2,3 wins and I lost the 1 round in 2 games worst possible winning record op

Round 1 - Jeskai (Win) This match up is really good for me, it simply comes down to creatures are able to deal more damage then burn spells and I have no problems with any of Jeskai's threats
Round 2 - Mono Red (Loss) I mulled both games and didn't draw side board cards
Round 3 - Abzan (Win) Tempo is really strong and having your opponent tap out to play an elspeth only to have it countered is brutal when you will usually already have a lead. Hornet Queen is rendered useless against Temur charm and the other threats are not big enough. Sorin is good but he requires an established board which means that I am already in a losing position anyway. Game 1 which my opponent won and had sorin it was really good but I was already going to lose anyway unless I drew back to back crater's claws. Game 2 my opponent got sorin but without creatures she could only create a vampire token which is very underwhelming for 4 mana.
Round 4 - Jeskai (Win) Same reason as round 1.


I know this is just a thursday night standard event but I wanted to share as I am having a lot of fun with this deck

[beeboy]

That kind of sounds like me minus the being a cheating asshole part. I tend to complain post game a lot. :/

[beeboy]

I never complain about luck and when I complain I don't do it in front of my opponent just to my friends. Although it is still wrong it isn't as bad as you think.

[beeboy]

Does anyone have any good sealed articles I should read before going to GP Ottawa next week?

[beeboy]

These posts are only getting me more excited for GP ottawa which will be my first GP.

[beeboy]

Where are you from beeboy? Ottawa?

No I am from Toronto I am going down for the weekend

[beeboy]

Since the name is crossed out is it no longer playable?

[beeboy]

My goal for GP ottawa is too collect all the cards that I don't get for a modern

Should I get birthing pod or U/R/W delver? I am not that good of a blue player but delver seems to be the better deck right now.
I also have played and enjoyed both of the decks

[beeboy]

I might go delver and build into pod because delver is a lot cheaper and I want to at least have some kind of modern deck i enjoy playing and is able to compete at PTQs and GPTs

[beeboy]

The two are pretty far apart though. Buying Hierarchs first means you could play Infect to lead into Pod, since they share a fairly similar manabase, and the deck is pretty cheap besides the Hierarchs.

I just wanted to get something tier 1 as fast as I could but infect seems fun enough where I will sacrifice winning as I assume infect would be bad when everyone is running removal for delver decks

I will leave these as links and not images so I don't waste lot of space

My budget is the above plus 200$ and maybe a sarkhan and 2 stormbreath dragons

I decided I wanted to build this deck
http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1221894
(I don't even have the swift spears for it yet)

I chose delver over pod as it is a cheaper deck and I enjoy it more then pod

here are the vendors at GP Ottawa
http://www.gamekeeper.ca/gpottawa/#.VG5qw4vF91A
which ones would give me the most credit or ones I should just avoid all together on average.


I am still pretty new to magic (playing since born of the gods) and I am not sure how I should go about buying an entire deck :/

[beeboy]

Thanks a lot!!! I will probably end up holding onto the thoughtseize as I probably won't get fetch lands just yet

I printed of a sheet with a max value I would pay for cards and minimum value I would give them away for so I can easily stay on budget

[beeboy]

I am aware a lot of that was bulk making the list also speeds up trading a lot (I have different prices set)

Although 200 bulk rares at 25c is 50$ and at TCG mid the deck is around 350$ so it will surely help considering I was never going to use those rares

[beeboy]

I really appreciate it!

I also want to make sure I am not trading something in for less then I can get at my LGS as there buylist is pretty good in many situations

http://www.401games.ca/tradelists/FullWantedList.htm

I might not even find many people who want to trade me thoughtseize for 25$ xD
What website should I use for price points when doing trades?

[beeboy]

Absolutely excellent article by PV

http://www.channelfireball.com/articles ... aled-deck/

Sweet! Reading it while I am on my way to Ottawa I'll watch the videos later tonight using the hotels wifi

[beeboy]

I am going to do some last chance GPTs to get in some last minute practice and hopefully grab some byes

Although at 30$ each I will try to control myself

[beeboy]

Thinking about getting mtgo just to try one of these drafts

[beeboy]

Downloading magic online then I will do my first legacy cube (first cube I have done in general)

[beeboy]

Why buy event tickets on sites like magic traders when they are cheaper on the client
I am pretty sure I am missing something pretty major

[beeboy]

This is the deck I built

[beeboy]

Here is another one of my amazing deck this time featuring
- I swore there was 17 lands wow I am bad I hope I don't get punished too much for this

[beeboy]

You are all incredibly so I will post interesting decks I build from now on.

I tried going elves and decided going against entreat the entreat the angles as I felt green sun and chord of calling was enough to end the game

16 lands was intentional this time as I felt I had a lot of elves

[beeboy]

new round now

twitch.tv/klazam

By the time i get to you, you are always offline ):

[beeboy]

How good do you guys think Collect Company is in GW hatebears?

[beeboy]

What someone told me at FNM is that burn is a 7 card combo deck which is how I assume the 2 of you interpret it.
I like to consider burn its own archetype, infect an aggro deck and eldrazi a tribal deck since it is neither aggro or combo in my eyes.

[beeboy]

All my friends are playing standard right now but I never was feeling it until you showed me Temur Devoid Assault Formation.

edit: Too bad this deck will be dated soon :C
