anyone possibly interested in doing a sealed league here in MishMash?

/in

[xRECKONERx]

I'd be interested, I'm just not sure how it would work.

Well, I was thinking for the "pack ripping", I would just use a booster generator for the set and PM each participant with their pool of cards. People could mess around however they wanted, then we'd probably use Magic Workshop or something to make the decks and play each other?

People submit results to the thread. Depending on the number of players, we could say each person can play up to four matches each week (we'd also allow makeup matches in future weeks), and then each week they get to add a new booster pack to their pool.

[Sudo_Nym]

Man, I just uninstalled MWS because I couldn't be arsed to fix it.

[xRECKONERx]

I'm not sure how else to do it?

[xRECKONERx]

Working on upgrading my RDW deck based on RtR spoilers, I've got something good so far, I think:


4 Stromkirk Noble
4 Blistercoil Weird
4 Vexing Devil
3 Guttersnipe
2 Hellrider
2 Cryptborn Horror

4 Pillar of Flame
4 Searing Spear
3 Flames of the Firebrand
3 Brimstone Volley
2 Bonfire of the Damned
4 Mizzium Mortars

15 Mountain
4 Rootbound Crag
2 Kessig Wolf Run


Sieboard?: Nivmagus Elemental
Pithing Needle
Zealous Conscripts
Annihilating Fire

[xRECKONERx]

In total, to update this deck for RtR, I'd only be spending about $15-20 on all the new cards. I still need a second Bonfire, though, which is gonna be PRICEY.

[inHimshallibe]

Bonfire of the Damned isn't going to be very high impact in the new Standard, as midrange and efficiently costed rumps are going to rule the format. And the other aggro deck, Zombies, couldn't care less about a Bonfire. I think you're fine without another. Its purpose in your deck is a fireball effect, which I don't think would be that great considering you'll be looking to run not so many lands in a RDW style build.

[Sudo_Nym]

I'm thinking:
4x Gravecrawler
4x Diregraf Ghoul
4x Rakdos Cackler
2x Rix Maadi Guildmage
4x Blood Artist
4x Geralf's Messenger
2x Rakdos, Lord of Riots
3x Falkenrath Aristocraft

2x Ultimate Price
4x Pillar of Flame
4x Brimstone Volley

23x Lands

I'm not sure how to cut the lands up for that. I want everything to generate B so that I can always drop my one-drops, and can drop Messenger on turn 3, but I think I'm going to need more than 8 red sources.

Here's another build I'm considering is:
4x Gravecrawler
4x Diregraf Ghoul
2x Slitherhead
4x Blood Artist
4x Lotleth Troll
4x Geralf's Messenger
3x Dreg Mangler

4x Abrupt Decay
4x Dreadbore
4x Brimstone Volley

7x Swamp
4x Woodland Cemetery
4x Overgrown Tomb
4x Dragonskull Summit
4x Blood Crypt

This one has a few more tricks, but is trickier manawise.

[inHimshallibe]

I'm going to be playing Geist of Saint Traft and Restoration Angel, but don't know what else. Those two are going to be a complete beating.

[xRECKONERx]

Bonfire of the Damned isn't going to be very high impact in the new Standard, as midrange and efficiently costed rumps are going to rule the format. And the other aggro deck, Zombies, couldn't care less about a Bonfire. I think you're fine without another. Its purpose in your deck is a fireball effect, which I don't think would be that great considering you'll be looking to run not so many lands in a RDW style build.

What about Thunderous Wraths?

[inHimshallibe]

A 1-of Thunderous Wrath might not be so bad. 1 mana for 5 damage sounds pretty spicy.

I was mainly advising you against dropping money on a card that is likely NOT to retain too much value.

[creampuffeater]

I would also like to /in for the sealed thingy if it ever happens.

[chamber]

I'd probably do a sealed.

This is the deck I'm working on right now. I really love the interaction between Silverblade/Wolfir and the stuff I already have, and the ability to run answers and curve out heavily at 5 is nice. Armada Wurm is excellent as well in testing.

I'm also heavily considering a Bant Build that runs 4 Rancor, Ethereal Armor, and Spectral Flight with O-Rings as well. This is a test list: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/bant-enchant-aggro/

I'm probably going to make both, to be honest. The first is much more conventional, and I feel like it's a lot simpler, but the second looks like a ton of fun. (In the second list, Ancestral Mask is in place of Ethereal Armor until Tapped Out adds it to their database.

[xRECKONERx]

Would you guys rather do RtR sealed or M13 sealed?

[chamber]

I was assuming RTR, I have no interest in M13 at all.

[xRECKONERx]

Alright, cool. I can swing RtR sealed.

Would you guys rather use MWS or Cockatrice? (Or any others I've never heard of?)

[mykonian]

personally, I'd rather have MWS. But I could adapt easily.

[dramonic]

Me and zarxes are buying two boxes of RTR on the 5th.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee booster wrappings!

[RXK]

i'm going to buy a core set

ive never played magic in my life except for like the ios app

sealed is just "take-it-out-the-box-and-play" right?

[Sudo_Nym]

Yeah. Sealed is "You get six booster packs and unlimited land, make a deck."

[Klazam]

/in for RTR sealed, on cockatrice

[Klazam]

Also, the deck I'm working on for now is:




BG Zombies
60 cards
3 Cavern of Souls
4 Overgrown Tomb
10 Swamp
4 Woodland Cemetery
21 lands


4 Diregraf Ghoul
4 Gravecrawler
4 Slitherhead
4 Lothleth Troll
4 Geralf's Messenger
4 Dreg Mangler
24 creatures

4 Rancor
3 Tragic Slip
3 Sign in Blood
3 Abrupt Decay
2 Murder
15 other spells

Rancor on Gravecrawler/Slitherhead seems spicy, and The zombie creature base is already so cost-efficient, not to mention shock lands help out aggro decks massively.

Just curious, anybody else here plays legacy?

I play only paper magic, tho. No mtgo

[creampuffeater]

RTR Sealed, and I dont care if its mws or cockatrice

[PeregrineV]

I'd be interested. Maybe it'll get me to the site more often. I have MWS, but will try cockatrice if it's free.
