Yeah, I can appreciate that.

Your land:Shadowborn Apostle level seems intuitively too high.

splash blue for battle of wits

Fate · Post Post #3104 (ISO) » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:56 am

splash green for abundant growth to hit your blue more reliably

I feel like a modern BUG Pod deck could abuse the fuck out of that card.

Fate · Post Post #3106 (ISO) » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:39 am

shadowborn apostle you mean?

AGar · Post Post #3107 (ISO) » Fri Jul 26, 2013 9:00 am

Yes. Also, no idea why I included U in that. Probably because I was trying to think of ways to abuse Battle of Wits at the same time.

I lost to Burn At The Stake tonight. Young Pyromancer, Molten Birth, Reforge, Looting, Battle Hymn, Infernal Plunge, Past in Flames, etc.

It was hilarious.

Oh my god I've been play testing that deck

Does anyone know if the MTGO client is session-tethered?

Like, can Fate and I have sessions open on multiple computers?

xRECKONERx · Post Post #3111 (ISO) » Sun Jul 28, 2013 5:54 am

I don't think you can login one account on multiple computers, no

gaaaaaaaaaaaay

In fact, technically, sharing accounts is against the TOS. If they were to find out you both were using the same account they would banz.

Could banz* they are pretty lenient on not enforcing that unless you do something really dumb, like take part in a mocs and gp at the same time or something.

Okay, need some advice. I'm trying to put together a GW deck for Grimm to play in Standard because it's his favorite color combination, but I'm trying NOT to build something that needs Voice of Resurgence, for obvious reasons. I put together this and have been testing it to moderate success:

4x Dryad Militant
4x Experiment One
3x Imposing Sovereign
4x Loxodon Smiter

4x Advent of the Wurm
4x Brave the Elements
3x Rootborn Defenses
4x Selesnya Charm
4x Call of the Conclave

2x Ajani, Caller of the Pride

4x Temple Garden
4x Sunpetal Grove
10x Plains
6x Forest

He is in love with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice for some reason, but I'm not sure there's really a way to fit her in this deck. I also don't have a sideboard for it yet.

More like... Brave The Elephants.

...

Trostani's good sideboard against aggro (also good MB as a 2-of... I may suggest her over Ajani) same with Unflinching Courage and Centaur Healer. Also, -1 of each basic and +2 Gavony Township.

Scavenging Ooze can be a good 2-drop either mb or sb. Fiendslayer Paladin and Path of Bravery seem like neat ideas; I especially like Fiendslayer against Jund because it's basically Hexproof. Mutavaults can work in a two-color deck if you can get them.

GW sideboards aren't too hard to come up with:

4x Unflinching Courage (aggro)
2x Oblivion Ring (PWs/big threats]
3x Ray of Revelation [hexproof etc]
3x Rest in Peace/Scavenging Ooze [GY hate]
3x ??? [against whatever your meta has a lot of] (2x Trostani/1x [Pithing Needle/O-Ring] 3x Fiendslayer Paladin, ???)

kdowns · Post Post #3117 (ISO) » Tue Jul 30, 2013 6:38 am

Definitely Trostani over Ajani.

Fate · Post Post #3118 (ISO) » Tue Jul 30, 2013 6:48 am

Ajani really isn't that bad...

xRECKONERx · Post Post #3119 (ISO) » Tue Jul 30, 2013 6:50 am

4x Dryad Militant
4x Experiment One
3x Imposing Sovereign
4x Loxodon Smiter

4x Advent of the Wurm
4x Brave the Elements
3x Rootborn Defenses
4x Selesnya Charm
4x Call of the Conclave

2x Trostani, Selesnya's Voice

4x Temple Garden
4x Sunpetal Grove
9x Plains
5x Forest
2x Gavony Township

4x Unflinching Courage
2x Oblivion Ring
3x Ray of Revelation
3x Scavenging Ooze
3x Fiendslayer Paladin

looks good imo

Not terrible, I agree, but probably better in a more white-weenie than token build.

kdowns · Post Post #3121 (ISO) » Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:04 am

Ajani isn't that bad. Trostani is just better in this deck.

xRECKONERx · Post Post #3122 (ISO) » Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:04 am

Anyone have any Fiendslayer Paladins? $6/pop seems inflated, but I want to get this deck for Grimm SO BAD.

Sudo_Nym · Post Post #3123 (ISO) » Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:19 am

You should splash black, and then call the deck "Grimm's Junk"

InflatablePie · Post Post #3124 (ISO) » Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:49 am

Hah.

$6 seems about right; I think Paladin has the potential to climb a bit higher actually. I'd probably pick those up before the Oozes if you're starting from mostly scratch; you can use RiP until you get them and build the deck slowly. Pick up whatever you need for the mainboard first (guessing three Sovereign, Advents, and a Smiter or two? should be around $30, which is what the Oozes will cost :s).
