    Yeah congrats to both of you I've been trying to put together a deck that is at least tier two in the BUG domain. However it definitely still needs some tweaking. Anyone have suggestions or ideas? Here's the list: Some thoughts: Do I want some stabilizing lifegain, perhaps via Whip of...

    Well we will see. The blue devotion deck is being discussed on /r/spikes and from what people like Sam Black have said, in its worst matchup, it is still 50/50 to win which is pretty damn good.

    Master of Waves will hold until someone figures out how to counter the blue devotion deck. Which you can bet the pros are already working on :P My guess is, sell now while it peaks then buy again when it drops again, because it *will* drop.

    I'd generally recommend to use TCGPlayer average price when it comes to trades. The only issue with it is for some of the higher value cards but whatever. If you download the MTGFamiliar app for your smartphone when you look up a card it'll connect to TCGPlayer to find the average price...

    Yeah my guess is that Master of Waves is a response to all the red aggro running around. My BUG list I have been cooking up seems like it could deal with it no problem.

    Yeah combined with what is probably going on at PT Theros it is definitely being snapped up by speculators. As for myself I've been doing a lot of swiss Theros release drafts on MTGO in order to sharpen my card evaluation and signal reading skills and it has been working. Right now I have a...

    To clarify yes the ADC gets caught because there is little vision. Also of course we aren't trying to team fight but if I'm on the other team and I see their ADC across the map I'm going to try to force a 5v4 fight.

    Public service announcement to people who play ADCs. You are not a split pusher. If you want to split push alone do not split push. If you think you can split push, no you cannot and you're better off sticking with the team. Lost my third game today due to an ADC that kept thinking split...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Is BF4 the first mainstream videogame with actual urban warfare? Like the amount of depth that the skyscrapers bring is awesome. Being a helicopter pilot I've started changing my role from being a straight kill ground troops role to sweeping infantry off of the rooftops so that my team's armor...

    I know it exists because my normal queue MMR is what got me placed in the division with the diamond/challenger tier players at my work's Riot sponsored company tournament despite being silver in solo queue.

    There is a hidden MMR for normal queue that is separate from the one used in ranked queues.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    I think it's worth downloading and trying out. The helicopter combat is something else entirely, not only does it control more like Bad company 2 but weaving in between skyscrapers to avoid missiles while peppering soldiers with missiles on the ground is pretty bad ass. There really wasn't much...

    Heh yeah that could be bad. I can see myself spending lots of money on cheap rares and mythics that are actually worth more than the eBay list price.

    Yeah we shall see. I am extremely interested in seeing the deck lists from today's SCG event. I have two weeks until I can attend an FNM which is plenty of time to throw something together. Especially since I decided to bite the bullet and get Cockatrice for play testing which will help give me...

    Well one of the key things about the deck is that I'm trying to make it so that even if the whip isn't out on the field I can still get value from the graveyard. We'll see what happens. Some kind of BUG or BU flash deck could be fun, too.

    I'm trying to put together a reanimator style deck for standard, see this for the current deck list:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/discardination-1/. This is my first time doing something like this rather than net decking so it's fun. I'm not the most satisfied with some of my choices, so if any...

    Sealed ended on a high note last night as my prize pack had a Thoughtseize in it. I then traded two Elspeth's for two Thoughtseizes to complete my play set. Yay Elspeth is valued at $5 more than Thoughtseize but she is likely to go below Thoughtseize in the future so I figured it was a good...

    Had a good box as well that paid for itself with a foil Polurankos, World Eater, Thought seize, Stormbreath Dragon, and a few gods. Unfortunately my sealed is going terrible. Oh well.

    Mono black is definitely the right choice for 2HG. Fanatic of Mogis is also rough in 2HG given how easily the board stalls out. We got hit by one that did 24 damage to us. Kind of sucked since next turn I was about to ultimate Elspeth. Also we were playing that guy that can copy spells. The...

    Snapped a four game losing streak with one of the most satisfying wins ever. Their team was Vayne top, Zac, Morg, Leona, Graves and our team was Caitlyn (me), Janna, Nocturne, Wukong, and Mordekaiser. Anyway I told the team to lane switch so we started out with me and Janna top, Wukong mid...

    I don't think it has to do with the PST timezone. I think the timing of the games has to do with a time that works best for the most timezones in the world. If Riot were targeting this at just North America it'd be starting a bit earlier to accommodate the east coast.

    Hm, so 45 days to hit Gold from Silver III 50 points where I'm currently getting 23-25 a win and 12 a loss. Let's see if I can do it, though I will admit Lumi, your offer is tempting :P

    How many weeks do we have until the season ends, anyway? As for Nasus, while his early ganks are meh you should be concentrating on getting an early dragon anyway. I have to usually explain to my team how it works, but by the third or fourth free dragon they are very thankful

    Pod does have lots of fetches but it has some of the more expensive ones. The decklist I was looking at also had Grove of the Burnwillows. All of this puts the manabase of the deck around $200ish more expensive than the burn list above.

    MTG thread

    Yeah I figured as much. Having to get only four Arid Mesas and four Scalding Tarns is a much better way into Modern than say pod which requires a significantly more expensive mana base. The bright side of things is I just conpleted my set of shocklands via trading so that is an expense I dont...

    And? They are requesting teams have 8-12 players so it isn't too bad and it is for charity. I was on my company's B-Team last year and it was loads of fun. I like the rules change for this year since it means a wider variety of skill levels can compete and there won't be anymore shenanigans...

    Awhile back I posted that I had a PAX Twisted Fate code that I want to sell. I've been doing pricing research on it but there is one thing I don't get. Some eBay auctions say NA only and others say EUWest only. Is this referring to the fact that the code can be used once in NA then once again in...

    Thank you for the advice. After playing a bunch of games and doing research it seems that, for my skill level, the limited queues that have the highest expected value for me are 4-pack sealed swiss and 4-3-2-2 draft. I want to move up to 8-4 drafts but I think I need to get much better at...

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

    Yeah, honestly Lords of Shadow is probably top five this generation in terms of art direction and cohesiveness. When you first come upon the fort in the mountain pass I had chills. The biggest problem with the game is that it just takes so darned long to really get moving
