 . Hit him with aurelia's fury for 10 when he had 2 cards in hand and 10 health....unfortunately one of those was a sphinx's. Angelic overseer + silverblade is so ridiculous, and slayers stronghold is so damn good vs control, makes even topdecking dangerous. | ||

It's ok, you can always blame your losses on mana screw. And make your friends pay for your drafts after they win loots npnp | ||

The singleton Alchemy was my contribution to the deck since against aggro Alchemy is better than Sphinx's sadly. Edit: Well, he made it to top 8 as the only Esper player. | ||

Is this the same friend that Top 8 last time Judicator, that's pretty impressive streak with that deck. | ||

The two draws were the stupidest things ever. Judges were trash. Little Shop of Magic is the worst shop ever. Will never play there again. Only top 8 gets prizes? And even then only 12 packs to 5-8? Fuck off. | ||

I've never heard anything but bad stuff about Little Shop of Magic, but I've never played there myself, they shouldn't even be allowed to host ptqs or anything. I suggest, Cheese Boy Comics or Action Comics , you don't really get a choice when it comes to PTQ location though | ||

Whenever I go to my local cs I always check out what's new in Magic. It's been like.. 8 years of me just "checking" on shit. I kind of want to play magic online, but I'm on a budget these days. How much will it cost me to play? I don't want to play with shit decks, and my budget isn't Kraft Dinner poor. But I don't want to spend $10-$20ea on rares/lands. I mostly played mono black because of cards like Laquatus's champion and zombies, and just mean awful things 'death' cards.I started dabbling into UB though. Anyway, anyone know a ballpark on just how much it would cost to start up and have a baller deck? (just one for now) and a decent SB? | ||

Says he wants a sneaky BW lifelink deck, but Obzedat costs too much so he's gonna go for Vish Kal instead. (I hate his guts for this choice; my brother runs Vish Kal, and it completely nullifies all of my sneaky "shuffle-into-your-library" spells T_T ) Based on what I'm hearing about the current meta, it's safe to assume Obzedat won't be dropping in price anytime soon? Obzedat hasn't peaked yet because Block constructed hasn't been explored completely yet, meaning that PT DGM should be block constructed and if they are playing Obzedat in some kind of block deck then he would only go up and not down. He's a very good weapon (better than Jace) against all of the midrange decks and against Bant. Just a very flexible card that serves the same role as 5-Gideon in a lot of these decks; gains you life, dodges sorcery speed removal, makes control decks suddenly threaten life points. Those are generalizations but it clearly has more than one role in decks, defensive/offensive. Edit: Yes Bluebird it is. He's top 8-ed 3 of the last SCG events around us. Each one bigger than the last (except the Classic). | ||

Field was hella RG aggro, UGx Wild Defiance infect, and UWR variants... or so I saw in between my rounds. I ended up playing against Bogles, Junk midrange (opponent flipped running 4 drops to his Bob and died lolol), BW tokens (Spectral Procession and Lingering Souls own my soul), Runeflare Trap, UWR Twin x2. | ||

Most Standard decks right now are probably in the range of $300-$400. R/G aggro is the cheapest competitive deck at like $60. However, there is a black control archetype in this format, and it's pretty cheap to build: http://www.channelfireball.com/home/breaking-through-black-by-popular-demand-14th/ Travis Woo's Wolf Run version can be found on that same site if you browse the articles. I don't think the decks have very many huge money cards, they're probably under $100. | ||

If you're really on a budget, you can pull off a good Boros deck without the shocklands for under $50 and steal a few games here and there. It's not going to consistently beat the $300-400 decks but you'll definitely be able to compete with better draws. Aggro decks are really good in the format and there are budget alternatives for the majority of the expensive cards in them. | ||

Aggro decks are really good in the format and there are budget alternatives for the majority of the expensive cards in them. Thank you for both of your responses. That was exactly the information I needed. Appreciated. Edit: One more thing actually... When you purchase cards, and they eventually get phased out, will you be able to carry those cards over? Or do you have to purchase different cards even with the exact same abilities ei. Bird's of Paradise, or lands like Blood Crypt, or an older mutilate card, etc... I should add, as long as they are 'legal', can you use your old phased out cards. I hope I explained that good enough?? | ||
