  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 05:09)
        well the color changing is why some of my favorite failsafes in this deck are Sword of Body and Mind, Tatsumasa, the Dragon's Fang, and Nim Deathmantle.
        
        Robert Darrow (26-Oct-2014 05:15)
        But if I keep going for the top build Armory will just become a net deck that could never justify running Griffin Sentinel and Surestrike Trident because they take up spaces for Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Wurmcoil Engine or Batterskull
        
        patrick ellett (26-Oct-2014 05:20)
        eh
        fuck avacyn and wurmcoil engine. seriously like they dont fit into the deck as a whole anyways
        
        Robert Darrow (26-Oct-2014 05:21)
        Most interestingly for about a week it ran Angel's Grace, Elspeth, Knight-Errant, and Archangel of Thune, and it was strange to me to play especially when I called it wildcats and realized it wasn't The Armory at that point
        
        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.
