    • patrick ellett | 12-Apr-2016 21:35
      thats nasty
      i feel sorry for whomever your opponents were
      • Robert Darrow | 13-Apr-2016 16:02
        well one was https://deckbox.org/sets/436798 the other was a freshly unboxed unmodified Marath, will of the wild Commander deck

  • Robert Darrow | 29-Oct-2014 07:06
    Assault Suit: "here have kemba while she has indestructable"

    • patrick ellett | 29-Oct-2014 16:49
      Would you run the lithomancer as the armorer to the armory?
      • Robert Darrow | 29-Oct-2014 19:05
        certainly just need to figure out what the hell I'm swapping out!
        GORRAMIT this set is gonna be a headache
        • patrick ellett | 29-Oct-2014 19:24
          i feel like the entire white deck is just love for you
          • Robert Darrow | 29-Oct-2014 20:44
            as far as I can tell it is but that fundamentaly poses a problem of giving too much to consider adding to The Armory, We Have an AUGH and possibly Behemonoth
            • patrick ellett | 30-Oct-2014 06:56
              id do it. i just saw Masterwork of Ingenuity, a one drop artifact that enters as a copy of any equipment on the table.
  • patrick ellett | 26-Oct-2014 04:27
    holy shit you got a jitte
    is it working well or has it not come up yet?
    • Robert Darrow | 26-Oct-2014 04:45
      It has charged and worked very well.


      At one point it was on a double striker.
      • patrick ellett | 26-Oct-2014 04:46
        goddamnit augh
        but congratulations your armory has almost reached its pinacle.  all you need is a batterskull
        • Robert Darrow | 26-Oct-2014 04:50
          Almost got one then decided against spending 20 on it and got Damnation instead because the 4 cost wipe will work better for Bump/Ascended than a 5 cost living weapon equipment in the armory
          • patrick ellett | 26-Oct-2014 04:53
            ah yes
            damnation
            its much handier 
            still worth picking a batterskull up eventually though.
            • patrick ellett | 26-Oct-2014 04:53
              actually now that i think of it, there isnt any living weapon in here at all. is that purposeful?
              • Robert Darrow | 26-Oct-2014 04:58
                actually yes seemed a bit wonky for the equipment to just outright make a black token on entry especially once I added 'Hewer and Might bring it in just to have the token just die
                • patrick ellett | 26-Oct-2014 05:02
                  the fact the token is black is awkward for a mono-white edh deck to make, but batterskull is just too handy to not have around
                • Robert Darrow | 26-Oct-2014 05:03
                  not to mention that having to decide to let the creature die just to wait for a cat on the next turn in the early day's lead to the general avoidance of even the +1/+1 cheap card
                  • patrick ellett | 26-Oct-2014 05:50
                    ah
                    alright then.
  • patrick ellett | 22-Jul-2014 18:10
    What about the Avarice Amulet? Its pretty good and would lead to some very augh-ish lines of play
    • Robert Darrow | 22-Jul-2014 19:02
      the armory is getting rather tight on choices and the amulet costs too much with out doing something for the toughness or survivability increase
      • patrick ellett | 22-Jul-2014 19:03
        Alright then
  • patrick ellett | 11-Jul-2014 04:29
    I dont know how much you've played with top in the deck, but is it working out for you?
    • Robert Darrow | 11-Jul-2014 14:35
      yet to play with it been busy with work

  • Robert Darrow | 30-May-2014 16:36
    in recent games this deck has managed concerting with the 3 Mirrodin swords inplay equipped I now just need the last 2 Mirrodin swords and a loxodon gatekeeper to swap for Kismet
    • patrick ellett | 31-May-2014 15:31
      Good luck with that. Which swords are missing?
      • Robert Darrow | 01-Jun-2014 18:21
        had been L&S and W&P
        • patrick ellett | 01-Jun-2014 18:50
          good luck getting your hands on them. I take it your going for the Modern Masters version of L&S for a more consistent art style?
          • Robert Darrow | 02-Jun-2014 04:08
            Nah I like the old art just fine and the fire ice i have is the original so consistancy would be only original prints
            • patrick ellett | 02-Jun-2014 04:09
              fair enough
              • Robert Darrow | Edited 02-Jun-2014 04:49
                know any one who would trade a EN W&P for a JP W&P straight across

                • patrick ellett | 02-Jun-2014 15:57
                  I don't think so. sorry man, i haven't gotten into the local nerd scene at all really.
  • Robert Darrow | 02-Apr-2014 20:04
    hey look my deck cost less than $100
    • patrick ellett | 04-Apr-2014 00:39
      half of it is because most of these cards don't have a price on them because tcgplayer is picky about their pricing apparently
      • Robert Darrow | 04-Apr-2014 01:03
        no TCGplayer told deckbox to stop using them so those are amazon's prices

        • patrick ellett | 04-Apr-2014 01:04
          fuck if you can get a sword of fire and ice for 0.00 it's awesome
          • Robert Darrow | Edited 04-Apr-2014 01:17
            unfortunately it doesn't just list them as < Null >
            fun fact though is price sorting still uses the old data in some cases





  • Robert Darrow | 25-Mar-2014 06:26
    If I started adding the 5 swords to armory what 5 cards would you cut from first cut to last in order. I would also love the order I should add the swords as well. ANYONE AND EVERYONE I WANT YOUR ANSWERS
    • Robert Darrow | Edited 25-Mar-2014 06:30
      The 5 swords I mean are sword of fire and ice, sword of feast and famine, sword of body and mind, sword of war and peace, & sword of light and shadow.
    • patrick ellett | 30-Mar-2014 22:15
      Fireshrieker, Griffin sentinel, Vorrac Battlehorns, Geist Honored Monk. You get your hands on them? I noticed you've already put SoFaI in
      • Robert Darrow | 30-Mar-2014 22:30
        need the other 4 and any order I should try for the swords?

        • patrick ellett | 30-Mar-2014 22:32
          I'd go feast and famine next, it allows you to untap your lands and the slight discard on the side is always nice
          • patrick ellett | 30-Mar-2014 22:32
            other than that, it shouldn't matter

  • patrick ellett | 23-Feb-2014 14:29
    That creature list is looking really scary now, to be honest.

  • patrick ellett | 08-Nov-2013 17:00
    why move the ring of thune to the sideboard for the journeyer's kite?
    • Robert Darrow | 08-Nov-2013 19:24
      experimenting because the vigilance is somewhat a redundance what with
      24% of the creatures being vigilant already plus more mana will keep
      this running better.
