Re: [Opinions][Standard]Where's the Tear Gas? (14 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I guess perhaps they could make use on the sideboard. The dragons offer the only real defense the deck would have - outside of things at the four drop. My thoughts on Havoc Festival are just that when it hits the board if I have Rix Maadi Guildmage, they're dead in two turns.
Yes but you'll probably win before the festival comes out and if not you'll probably have lost all steam and get smashed

Topic: Modern MAverick (MMA) (0 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
So I've been talking about modern a bit in other deck discussions and here's my first real attempt at a deck, it's based off of the Legacy Maverick Deck that was everywhere a little while ago. It's Green and White primarily, I've got a splash of black in there so if I can ever afford some Bobs I can throw them right in, it also opens the door to Abrupt Decays, which I've come into a playset of.
Here's the deck: http://deckbox.org/sets/243848
It's basically a delay game until I can get out a sword or a Knight of the Reliquary or beat them to death with weenies.
In my testing on Cockatrice it's been going very well, I've had success against Zoo, Jund, RDW, and Dredge. I havn't had excessive testing but as of now I'm convinced this deck has alot of potential. The regular maverick runs on Green Sun's Zenith, that card's banned in modern and while some people like Chord of Calling, I prefer Fauna Shamans, they fit in the deck better and can be used with repetition, more like GSZ.
I know most of the usual commenters are big into standard right now but any thoughts would be appreciated
P.S. there are 17 cards in my sideboard because I don't see myself getting Bobs anytime soon, they're just there to let you know ideally I'd have them
I'm also thinking about Aether Vials, almost all of my deck is 2-cost or a human (Cavern) or uncounterable, so if my Kitchen Finks have to get countered at the gain of the entire rest of my deck, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, but finding slots for a couple vials will be tough

Re: [Opinions][Standard]Where's the Tear Gas? (14 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Personally I'd drop the slumbering dragons, they don't fit, you should be moving faster than your opponent so if they attack you, great! Less blockers for you to deal with, I think it will not be helping you.
Havoc festival is ok, but over costed and going to cause you to lose way more life than your opponents
Just my thoughts

Re: GalacticFisher is an excellent trader. Trade with him! (43 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
That reminds me, why do some people (Like you, for instance) have Moderator by their name? At first I thought you guys were mods, but then it became clear that you aren't. Is it just a title you get that's determined by post count?
EDIT: Also, I think the thread should stay up, because it shows that GalacticFisher is a good trader. That way, anyone who saw this thread last night knows that they should trade with him, as that may not have been the impression they walked away with last night.
Each mod has priveliges in different forums, Im not a reddit mod but I am elsewhere.
Its a valid point, i thought about that as well, still not sure which side I agree with lol

Two things:
1. I'm not the one who said his name. I omitted it for a reason.
2. You can't delete threads. I've done everything I can by changing the title, the OP, and making that last post. (:
I know, I didnt mean to imply it was you, technically no one actually said the name, just gave a link to it, sorry if that sounded like an accusation
This forums mods probably can if you ask them to, not sure who that is tho

To me it should just be common sense that once you agree you do it. I have been offered better trades for a card that I had already traded and decline them because I have an obligation to continue the previous trade.
I commend you for trying to make whats wrong right and am sorry that others have dicked you over on this site. Hopefully now that you know the rules a bit better you can join the angry mob and be a 'rules stickler' like the rest of us with over 50 trades on this site.
It should be common sense but not when it's been done to me several times already. Thank you for being rational.
You should either report or send messages to the people that did that to you, for their own good, if they don't have alot of trades not reading the rules could easilly get them banned

Re: GalacticFisher is an excellent trader. Trade with him! (43 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
Well, it says in the rules that anyone who does this can be banned. I'm just asking whether people think that's the course of action I should follow? On MOTL, he would be forced to go through with the trade or would be banned. MOTL don't mess around.
I'd go by the book, tell Sebi, link the convo and let administration decide, I don't really think this is a decision that we should be making

Ok, so I've made a couple changes, I added the creatures we talked about, and I added safe passage to the board, I also cut one rancor to add another Fiend Hunter, I figure I should have a little more removal than I had, here's the updated deck, any other thoughts? I also added orbs to the board, I figure if I ramp t1 and have it out t3 that should be good

Re: W: H-Fountains Armada Wurm, Supreme Verdict, Sigarda H: Tradelist (12 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
Hey, new to the forums, so would appreciate any tips.
I don't mean to make it sound hopeless, however people on this forum generally dislike trading down (More expensive cards for a couple of your less expensive cards) so if your highest value card is about 15$ and you're looking for x3 of an about 25$ card it's going to be tough going, it's not impossible though, you might have to be willing to lose some value on the cards, (Give them 30-35$ of cards for their one geist it's not fun but it's kinda how things go, if you trade locally you should also try to get a hold of shocklands, almost everyone is looking for them so that's more likely to get you a geist than other stuff you've got, I wish you the best of luck though!
If you need other stuff it might be worth mentioning those wants as well but make sure you aren't trading down or it will be impossible to get geists

Re: Need Opinions and lots of them. (11 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
OK, I made a few adjustments and now I need help slimming things down a little bit. One of the combos I'm interested in trying with this is to use the Cloudshift on Thragtusk to build life and tokens. Let me know if this would work because I'm still not too familiar with the rules. Any feedback would be great.
One thing to note, if you've only got 1 thrag it's probably not going to come up very often, cloudshift works well with other token producers, (Armada Wurm) but you'd be better off with a 2 cmc populate spell.
Awesome, I figure that is why Thragtusk's value has jumped up $7 with the release of RTR.
People are also using them in Zombie decks sometimes just because it's one of those cards that you can put in almost any deck and make it better, it's a 5/3, 5 life, and a 3/3 for 1 green and 4 colorless, it's unfairly good, especially for a rare so it's going in pretty much any deck that has green in it, it reminds me of the titans in some ways. I support the use of thrags in Populate / normal tokens / flicker, however when they're used in everything then they become like SoWaP which gets annoying pretty quick. (Sorry for my little rant)

Re: Two of Three - Izzet Broke Talrand (8 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I'd like to hear how it works out, I see how you put everything together but I know that with my luck at FNMs I'd get all of my goblin creatures and Talrand, then get all of my Mizzum Motars and the like with Krenko, ;P but I have terrible luck (I lowered my opponent to 1 life, he topdecked a Day of Judgment and I proceeded to topdeck lands, rancors, and other enchantments/artifacts that didn't deal damage in a deck running 4 Bonfires and like 26 creatures )
In summary I feel like it's too unfocused but that can be powerful in and of itself because other people's decks aren't designed to handle that so they can fail against non-archetypal decks.
Overall I'd say your amazing Golgari pulls make that deck more competitive for a FNM but this might be more fun since I doubt you're going to drop another 200$ to buy singles to make "The" zombie deck (At least I wouldn't) I would say this seems like it would be more fun to play and improve upon, I'd recommend adding Electrickery somewhere, either main deck or sideboard just because it can really mess up people's tempo, especially ramp decks or Champion of the Parish decks, good luck either way though!
