I was really on the edge of picking up a playset of as foretolds for 7$ cad each at the gp here. I want to watch this work of art in action. I'm playing it for the first time tonight. I love riding that new wave!!! I also love that I'm good enough to play these decks without practice. If I lived in America I'd have played the pro tour by now.

Ill have to look to see how this deck plays out it looks super sweet anyways if nothing else, goodluck man. Our local store has some pretty good players, its definitely made me a better player. Theres been few pros come out from the area, one guy is going to the pro tour for limited now too. I still see Ben Hall around once in a while, Gerry T comes up once in awhile, its a solid scene.

I've beaten every pro I've played (though there were all only SCG guys, who are shithouse anyway) One guy from our store managed to qualify a few weeks ago actually.

Thats kinda funny Ive often not been too impressed watching the general play of SCG. Kat light the "big" spirits player that joined lotus box eventually I thought was trash, I tried watching early on when she started streaming it was hard. Not to say their all bad I genuinely think the upper echelon are really good players but theres seemingly less then on the pro tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 5 events, 600 tix later. I'm back. I won the friday night modern event off my head on cocaine. Every other event I was medium. Should have won legacy big tix but round 1 game 1 I kept a solid hand that didn't have a chalice, only to find my opponent was on Zombie bombardment, so going into game 2 with that information in hand and 3 leylines in my deck plus the 4 chalices I was certain I'd win the next 2 games. Nope. mulled to 5 g2 without seeing any of it. Just slept for 15 hours straight as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going through some of the scg archives of the team tourne over the weekend and trying to find gameplay of Overturf playing a temur Phoenix list. Splashed green for traverse package with baubles seemed sweet on the surface but I really didn't see him use traverse much except for one time he tutored for his one of snap. Interesting idea anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it felt like the easiest 5-0 he can remember and he was never a fan of the previous izzet phoenix decks nor traverse. He only lost one game and with better sequencing it was winnable so very much able to 10-0. The deck looked like fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 I think we could be about to hear the word of god again. We lost our religion but WotC are surely about to put us back on the path of righteousness. RIP Faithless looting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted March 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah the rise of phoenix, the meta share of FL in general I wouldnt be shocked if it gets the axe. I enjoy many decks that play it but Phoenix and Dredge are pretty disgusting. The sad part is splash damaging decks like Mardu Pyro. I guess we will find out shortly what happens. The other thing is with the london mulligan they're trying out dredge probably gets more disgusting unless you axe FL. And no changes to any format. I guess they will probably wait for the modern horizons set to see how it affects things first, kinda makes sense. Between that and how the mulligan trial turns out modern could go through some massive changes already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted April 10, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 10, 2019 Dont know If you've kept up playing standard but this new set looks Jim Broadbent. The general power level of most of it seems mediocre though, not too sure If it will have a drastic effect on the current meta which I think is pretty medicore at the moment too. Its too bad because Guilds standard was fucking awesome. I guess mostly what Im looking forward to is some printing of Faeries and or Spirits in horizons coming up. Mostly Faeries cus I love that deck even if its solidly tier 2 or worse. Been hard to play spirits with all the phoenix going around anywho.

Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Yeah, a faithless looting ban is needed. I don't get why so many people love fairies. But whatever floats your boat. I played a last minute Sultai brew last night to some reasonable success. Torrential gearhulk is the finisher the deck needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrential gearhulk is the finisher the deck needed. Im not sure if looting is the real problem, it was perfectly fine until creeping chill was printed, until phoenix was printed. At its best it was giving you value with discarding lingering souls or a 1 mana fiery temper. You may ultimately be right just ban the enablers and it will slow down the format a touch, either way I assume they're waiting until horizons happens and by all accounts the london mulligan was a success? Im just reading second hand on that one mind you. Flash/interactive magic is my jam. Come at me. Interesting, I was always on the train that Thulk was modern playable albeit a little slow in the right shell the free flash back in insane, and as you say the body ends real fast. Sultai midrange? what are you working with. Ill be trying out some deputy of detentions in spirits tonight, havent jammed it for a bit should be fun.

Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Decklist 24 very sultai lands. Fetches, shocks and fast lands. Including 2 creeping tar pit and 2 field of ruin. There's 6 basics. (4 island 2 swamp) Creatures x3 snaps x1 jace, vp x2 torrential gearhulk I'm open to the idea of tireless tracker as well. But no room yet Instants and sorcerys x 3 cryptic x1 heiroglyphic illuminations x4 remand (doesn't feel great tbh, might become mana leak) x1 spell pierce x1 countersquall x4 fatal push x3 ass trophy x1 abrupt decay x4 opt x2 pulse of murasa other spells x1 Azcanta x1 Jace TMS x1 Lili, the last hope x1 EE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted April 23, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 23, 2019 Looks solid, trying out some different spells before you tune in I imagine. I agree on the remands I haven't really found them great in modern for awhile now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Other than remanding a flashback card, it's only good in combo decks where drawing cards is good and your opponent doesn't get more turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted April 24, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 24, 2019 @Devil-Dick Willie are you still playing any standard? I just looked up our local MCQ is in about a month, 50$ cad you get a ravager promo and a playmat just for entry... seems pretty decent. Also gonna try my hands at picking up the mythic edition in about a week when it goes live, I dont own any wallet sculpters and for that price it seems like a no brainer. Fuckers are literally printing money; they say 12k available thats like 3 million bucks and it will sellout very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
