EPTedit: so, basically im looking to build some mono black or mono blue devotion and additionally some maze's end deck because it looks hilarious and is dirt cheap. which of the devotion decks will suffer more from not having mutavaults?

http://www.starcitygames.com/events/coverage/deck_tech_boss_sligh_with_tom_.html You can cut that mutavault and just run 17 lands, and there are probably a few sideboard tweaks you can do. | ||

Thoughtseize isn't that expensive as well. Here is my list : http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/227762 The problem with this deck is that you'll mulligan A LOT, and that can get frustrating. | ||

I've seen similar behavior in other videos involving pro play as well. Well there's always the Alex Bertoncini story. I mean at that level the matchups are fairly even so people just want the extra % that pushes them into a win @.@ | ||

There's also a bunch of subtle cheats where the player is like "I forgot this had summoning sickness" or "I forgot to remove the correct number of creatures from play after combat". If a newbie does it, I wouldn't care, but seeing fulltime pros do it makes me suspicious. | ||

The top level HoF-type people have a lot to lose from it but I can see why grinders who need to win might want to shave edges. There was a Judge session before about the ways people try to get edges through dubious means like trying to stack a deck and those little %s add up pretty significantly... I mean if you're playing one of those 55% against the field decks bumping it up to 60% is pretty nuts. | ||

I've seen similar behavior in other videos involving pro play as well. I'm guilty of doing this occasionally at FNM. I'll notice something wrong from a few turns back and just not say anything about it, it's usually too late to do anything about it anyway. Most recent example I can think of: I let my opponent's 2 Ash Zealots trade for my Smiter. I remembered they had First Strike, guess he didn't. It was a fun game though, I'd already 2-0'd him in regulation matches, but I did feel bad about it and mentioned it after the game. That and I'll flat out lie if my opponent asks me if I'm dead, but I figure he should find that out for himself. | ||

It's almost as painful being dead on board as it is to watch your opponent not see it and completely misplay. | ||

I picked up a lot of junk coloured cards in the last couple of sets so I'm really looking forward to seeing what the G/W G/B and W/B stuff in this set is going to be like, I think junk midrange has a real shot at being a brutal deck. | ||
