Crackhead.... Jokes aside, did Bant make a come back or something? I ran into more Bant players just now in testing than I have for like the last 5 months. Also, BlueBird, what I meant was to play really narrow hate cards. As long as Jund plays Lilys I have to find an efficient response to that card. | ||

I lost a game in a daily event trying to pillar a strangleroot geist, I had to trade with it a turn later with huntmaster, ended 3-1. There were 3 Zombie decks in the top 4 of the MOCS supposedly. http://community.wizards.com/magiconline/blog/2013/03/01/mtgo_card_bug_issue | ||

I feel bad for the players that played the MOCS unaware though, can't imagine, what kind of tickets were filed today. I used to get refunded for stuff like that even though I prized though, so don't know if that's 100% accurate. I'm watching SCG rd 9, go Vegas player Torrez! | ||

Congrats to your friend BlueBird. Also, friend took my deck again to the Classic in Louisville, shames there's no live coverage. Only update I got was that he was 6-0-1, which I assume will be good enough for the cut. | ||

Was a bit of a breakthrough to hear this: "There's nothing wrong with casting Supreme Verdict on a single creature. There is no shame in three for one-ing yourself to get rid of your opponent's Liliana of the Veil. It really doesn't matter how little "value" you get out of your cards as long as they are stopping your opponent from killing you and building towards the end game. The neat thing about Sphinx's Revelation is that it undoes every advantage your opponent has gained. You three for one'd yourself to kill Liliana? Congratulations, you survived long enough to cast a Sphinx's Revelation for four, and now your opponent is behind." The nickel-and-dime card advantage style is un-necessary against decks that don't run Sphinx. That card is just so powerful that I can trade evenly or even poorly all day, and then undo it all in a single turn. It's definitely changed the way I look at the deck now. | ||

Cleansing is good in the Jund match up but not that good in the mainboard (it gains value post board once more of their PWs, Staffs comes in, aka more permanents that you have to handle). The issue is the other match ups and not so much the Jund match up. Terminus is a better card in the format, Cleansing is the better card in the match up. Dunno, I am looking at Wafo-Tapa's builds and trying out his brand. Mind sending me the list you're using? I'd be happy to check it out. I have noticed Planar Cleansing is pretty underwhelming so far, but I do enjoy the creature base. | ||
