Still good to tell them so they know for future matches, you might be nice, but the next dude might not be. You don't have to go all judge mode on them, but they should know that they messed up. | ||

I will admit, for the first time in a very long time, I raged at the next game, though. Board stalled until I drew a non land card, he had millstone out. Milled 12 spells and no land and I drew nothing but land over 6 turns. "Good game luckiest human being on the planet." | ||

God damn it why did I sell away all my fetch and shocklands. My wallet is crying now over the potential cards that I'm planning to buy back.... Lesson learnt: Never ever sell your lands no matter how good the current price is; especially for foil lands. same goes for Legacy staples. Edit: Anyone can recommend me a rough price that you think the Innistrand checklands will drop to post rotations? I'm waiting for the to drop in price before getting them. | ||

I wasn't there so maybe that's not how it happened. I know it is, but you have to rage sometimes, kid was a smug punk about it, so it was worth it to me. | ||

Those are the games, if I am on the winning side, I quietly and quickly gather my things, ask them to sign the match slip and leave asap.

Pithing Needle, Hope your Opponent misplays and you have double removal spell, slaughter games. | ||

You can't play around aetherling as control. You have to find a way to stop it, somehow, and pithing needle is the simplest answer. When an esper, UWR, or bant deck has cavern naming shapeshifter, you can't stop it from dropping and you can't get rid of it without draining their mana or turning off the abilities. One is easier than the other. | ||

One is easier than the other. People have played Needle against Aetherling in my decks and its just been like ok, I don't care. Unless they are all-in on that Aetherling plan, it's pretty underwhelming. The issue with Needle isn't that it's a bad card overall, it's that control decks rarely come at you in a single manner these days, that includes Esper. Needle's just too stop-gap and doesn't advance your board state which is what this standard format is all about. Basically, why is your opponent resolving Aetherling fearlessly against you in the first place is what you need to fix, not what happens if an Aetherling sticks. Also, the argument that you are boarding in Needle for other cards is a pretty weak one, are you seriously boarding in a pretty underwhelming card to turn off a 1 or 2 of in other decks? Like Appetite for Brains is a better board card against Aetherling than Needle is, if they got it you just took it out, if they don't you just planned your next few turns and maybe grabbed a card. Edit: Basically, my point is why are you boarding in a 1 mana artifact to turn off 1-2 copies of a 6 (more like 7) mana creature. | ||

My thinking is, if you don't, your opponent can look at what you plan to swing with, and then decide whether or not to play an instant at the end of your first main phase, based on info they shouldn't have. Most people don't bother announcing, though. | ||

Most people don't bother announcing, though. I often see people announce it when watching tournament streams. For casual play with friends Its no big deal but otherwise its probably a good habit to learn. | ||
