Furthermore, we were arguing specifically about temporal mastery. But thats ok, you can just ignore that salient detail in the interest of pursuing your favorite hobby of pretending you're right when you're not.

Counting the cards in play and graveyard, it would seem the person was running a deck bigger than 60 cards?

In post 174, Thestatusquo wrote:I think its a fringe-y keyword that people like you will think is awesome and will therefore complain about when it doesn't work as well as they expected. I am reminded of the card browbeat. When it first came out everyone was scrambling to add 4 to any deck they had that contained red, but the problem was it does exactly what you don't want like 90% of the time. You were almost always better up with a straight up burn spell in the slot. These cards seem similar in the sense that people think they're going to work awesome, but they forget that they're going to be playing them as ridiculously overcosted spells probably most of the time.

I love Primal Surge Ramp. Hopefully RtR keeps Birds in rotation.

Anyone who's got a free second, I'd love some suggestions on this. So far, my only real problem comes from drawing my reanimation targets. Tempted to try and squeeze some Trading Posts in to deal with that, but they're really underwhelming.

Playing in my M13 league has been fun so far. The original deck I built was blue/black control and it did decently well... murder, public execution, unsummon, rewind, etc all give me control over the board, and a couple mind sculpt and veldalkan enchanters for mill.

Then I opened a primordial hydra. My deck is now green/red, with:

2x Goblin Arsonist
1x Arms Dealer
1x Rummaging Goblin
1x Mogg Flunkies
2x Deadly Recluse
1x Mwonvuli Beast Tracker
2x Acidic Slime
2x Sentinel Spider
1x Silklash Spider
1x Primordial Hydra
1x Garruk's Packleader
1x Roaring Primadox

1x Krenko's Command
1x Rancor
1x Revive
1x Ranger's Path
1x Serpent's Gift
1x Searing Spear

1x Rootbound Crag


holy fucking shit this deck. I can keep you from attacking with my Deadly Recluses, melt you or your creatures with Searing Spear or Arms Dealer (esp with the amount of goblins/Krenko's Command), and when I hit 5 mana, I'm throwing out some bomb-ass creature every single turn or using Roaring Primadox to bounce my Acidic Slimes and destroy your entire mana pool every turn. And did I mention Primordial Hydra?

In a moment of weakness, I opened the two boosters I had left on MTGO instead of drafting them...
And I got Tibalt and Sublime Archangel.
Yay?

came in 4th at a constructed thingy with my Primal Surge + Lab Maniac deck

(also used Surge three times, reactions were hilarious... especially playing it at 1 life after a swing for 19 and topdecking a land for mana #10, surge being last card in-hand)

Asceticism (hexproof, regenerate a creature for 2) + Avacyn = huehuehue

Match 1: game 1 went against Grixis control, won first game without Surge, second game surged everything minus Asceticism (mana leaked) when he only had 1B1R up.
Match 2: I don't remember what I was playing against... I know I won, 2:1.
Match 3: Fuck Zombiepod, got 0-2'd.
Match 4: Game 1. He had a hexproof/indestructible flying 5/3 that he gave doublestrike via Paladin, a buffed up Champ-Parish and some Human tokens. I had 8 mana between lands and elves, land/surge/maniac in hand. Played Land and Maniac, passed, he swung for 20, blocked a 1/1 Human. Topdecked a land, surged, told him my entire deck was permanents and passed him my deck. He said fuck you a few times (albeit laughing at how awesome that combo was) and then thrashed me the next two games because white weenie.

Got a pack of Inn, got a 5th Sever The Bloodline. Meh. Worth it for the reactions.

I'd be interested, I'm just not sure how it would work.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
