HST and Vonnegut: remember when America had real writers?

since when was goblin guide not fun! anyone who says aggro requires no skill or calculation should watch hetrick muddle his way through

The problem with Smallpox as I see it is that it is godlike on the play and awful on the draw, mostly. F die roll formats

Max out on lands that don't CIPT. Signets are really powerful and they are fixing of the 'CIPT' variety. be careful

real quick: mill -- just throw a drownyard in your utility land draft. there are a handful of cards that mill in addition to doing other stuff (geth, oona, 5cmc jace, nemesis of reason all come to mind) but i don't like em. 5cmc jace in particular is kinda unbeatable. i like thought scour but...

protection is an essential mechanic for constructed magic (fuck you, woodlot crawler!) but it's like the least subtle way R&D has of balancing things. so like a surgeon's amputation saw or an israeli nuke. bonesplitter in MMA

I fucking love Thirst for Knowledge! Are those really bad MU's? Like I know with UW you need resources (vs Lili) and are reliant on the graveyard (vs. DRS / Scooze) but it seems like the classic case of those cards being good against UW but the deck itself being quite bad. Same reason Living...

Public Health Announcement: get your equipment checked regularly, and if you must cross Swords, make sure to use Protection.

the izzetron deck is kinda sweet (electrolyze, pyroclasm, through the breach) as is the UW one with the gifts package. dunno what to do when you actually draw norn, iona, and/or rites though

U tron will certainly beat UWR control. It's a choice for winning every control mirror and a few random other matches in an inbred meta. What's dread return.dec?

The thread on Graveyard hate is pretty good, basically right now I'm running 2x Deathrite 2x Ooze 2x Relic and a few others because I humbly disagree on the maindeckability of Grunt and Shaman. Seemed like a good spot to break singleton! quick brainstorm -- Lifegain: Jason: Firemane Angel...

Dom: I think you can? Seems good to me too ... I'm not an expert on the archetype, though. Sterling -- http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/standard/26396-Modern-Cheat-Sheet.html (add Martyr too, Lax is a great writer and I'm a fan but was, uh, misguided about this one, like, Grixis Delver over...

Mikaeus got cut due to "sucking complaints." Entity I took out for perhaps no reason. How's the Archangel been performing for y'all up in Toronto? I wanna give her a try Mmmmm yeah Gavony. Your assumption is right on. It pleases me GW beats is good in Magic cards now.

So I fiddled with the list some more after noticing "everything costs 4" still especially in G/W. Updates include more 1's (perhaps too many based on my drafts / sealeds, which are addictive and not especially predictive cuz lol the goofgrabbing bots, utility land draft, 4 hawks etc.) and double...

I have no idea how Zoo would ever lose to U Tron in a million years

As Hasbro proves with their $500M/yr brand with ~$3M/yr advertising budget (or however much "money" is put into "professional Magic"), said organization also needs to be willing to fund said class

vs. bogle just play 3 copies of explosives. it bogles the mind not more people do this, it's a really good sideboard card in other MUs too. token holocaust for 2! http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/standard/25543-Red-White-And-Blue-Envelope.html

Ice Age's most enduring card: a mana dork* *which are pretty good

I think it's time for my cube to have double Knight of the Reliquary, the sweetest MTG card ever. Name some other creatures that are especially good in multiples + as an engine Gravecrawler Squadron Hawk (kinda)

I do not recommend running RIP (the kind of hate card Living End doesn't much care about, even) in a Goyf + Deathrite deck. Relic of Progenitus is far better vs. LE but runs into the same nonbo problems. Elspeth Tirel? Uhhhhhhhh... 5 LD spells is way too many and Zoo should eat Tron decks...
