Pie, both clients? Either version three or the beta might run better depending on which one you've tried. If you're trying the beta, and its crashing a lot, thats because there are a lot of bugs and its not really stable yet.

Dramonic was suggesting that your strategy is not tournament viable because someone will just simply attack you with small creatures and kill you on turn 4 or 5 before you get to do any of the cool stuff you mentioned.

EDH is a format which has decks made up of 100 singletons with a legendary creature as the general. You are only allowed to play colors of your general and generally the games are slow and focus around doing ridiculous and absurd things rather then straight out attempting to win. I don't care for it much myself, but a lot of people enjoy it. The things you were describing would never happen in competitive play because of what Dram was saying, but things like that frequently happen in edh. Or, hell, just casual. Though those two things seem to be becoming increasingly synonymous these days.

Yeah, it was a more "whatif" sequence, not a viable winning strategies.

Competitive is interesting and fun, but its also interesting to think of crazy ideas, like sub-game decks, Image

Just for the sheer annoyance.

You could just say the card names instead of posting huge images that make your post difficult to read.

50% of playing magic, sure. But not of talking about magic, unless we're having a conversation about it specifically.

Come on, Shea, there's no need to Image him. If the art helps him avoid a Image, then I say we shouldn't Image that option.
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.

Well, that, and Legion Loyalist's battalion trigger makes your creatures unblockable by tokens. Alternatively, Ratchet Bomb with 0 counters.

Or Rakdos Charm if you really want to go for the throat. It's a particularly karmic counter to Storm Herd.

The regular MTGO client works!

Drafted a UG tempo-ish deck that wasn't anything too amazing. Lost to a draft deck in a 4-3-2-2 that had:
2+ Auramancers
Xathrid Necromancer
Angelic Accord
Trading Post
Path of Bravery
2+ Pacifism
2+ Quag Sickness
2+ Soulmender
(2+?) Dawnstrike Paladin
2+ Divine Favor

It was kind of silly.
