Dog Pit / Re: The Dog Pit
« on: March 11, 2011, 05:29:54 am »
tips: (not directed at anyone in particular) event idea should not be too complicated nor too simple that it can be overshadowed by weekly tournament
some suggested ways to make the dog pit more RPG-like and its fine and all but remember this is but an idea
original idea by kakerlake is fine as a starting point and an event can be made with that but if you want to delve deeper, its better to put it in feedback after we do a test run (test run being setting up the event for the first time)
@kakerlake
naturally people will assume 4/Str means 4 divided by Str value
to make it clearer, put 4 per Str OR 4xStr OR Str(4)

started in '98 too
pretty sure thats when tempest/urzas block is standard because i recall buying my first precon (green/red echo lightning dragon/argothian wurm/wildfire...super awesome deck) and getting stomped by dominator (sparked my long time hatred for anything blue)
no doubt a lot of peeps came here looking for something similar to magic
edit: my bad...lightning drag was the prelease promo card that i got from joining the prerelease event...the first actual foil promo

General Discussion / Re: Nymph Questions
« on: March 10, 2011, 08:27:00 am »
i would like some flavor change...particularly the usage of creature type - 'nymph'
imo nymph = sissy
it doesnt convey the epicness of a mythic creature that can cast epic spells that could change the tide of battle
the one thing nymph got going for it right now is its stat...seems about right

Archived Decks / Re: I've GotP Time (1.27 Time-Aether FG Grinder)
« on: March 09, 2011, 07:11:10 pm »I really appreciate the discussion here.originally i've written a lengthy explanation regarding my choice in response to what noobiecakes said...but decided maybe nobody else share that thought process
First off, I'm not sure if I could make my point when I said this in chat, but you can effectively protect your Flying Eternity by playing it and then play a bunch of fractaled creatures, as Anubis and I think also GotP get targeted over it. Only the heaviest CC gods (Rainbow, Osiris, Neptune, Destiny) can hope to tear through an army of Anubs. That's why I generally think a second Quint isn't necessary.
but since 10 men also use the same reasoning, i'll try to reiterate...
if you choose to wait to fly your eternity...you have wasted a shit tons of potential that this deck could do
having 2 rewind action and 2 creatures on the opposite side (that they could play every turn barring any draw) means a complete lockdown
if you wait for something like a massive fractal or anubis + TU and shit else...theres really no point playing AW because you've just wasted all those time for nothing because by then the FG has already drawn a bunch of new cards. you've lost your edge
and seriously, if you have the quanta to fractal spam, arent you supposed to be winning anyway? which seems weird to me since originally you get 2 rewind action to lock their board and draw etc so you cam build up your hand, quanta for a massive OTK spam
or maybe i'm just playing this deck differently than you guys (because i'm so used to save fractal for last playing CCYB for EM purpose and bypassing Miracle shenanigans)
in any case, i'd rather have 3 rewind action to fight something like feral bond spam or bonewalls rather than playing GotP (after an early fractal) 1 by 1 every turn
regarding 3 quints...2 is enough but the third for any TU target...after anubis is gone, TU is the weakest link right now imo but it is so flexible that i've decided to keep it in for now, so the 3rd quint will keep all my creatures protected....until that OTK fractal spam they wont have any way to deal with my critters

Graviton / Re: Oracle : Graviton
« on: March 09, 2011, 11:53:48 am »have you tested it?Code: [Select]5v2 5v2 5v2 5v2 5v2 5v2 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61r 61r 61r 61r 61r 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a
Try this deck and add 3 lobos. Could work due to AI not being smart enough to blow up cloaks
many times people come here and post their 'suggestion' without actually test it themselves
do not be one of them, please (more so when we can now input any FG deck to test our counter)

Paradox / Re: Oracle : Paradox
« on: March 09, 2011, 11:49:53 am »
lobo effect is not necessary, true
but paradox has the ability to turborush you if you let his RoLs go unchecked
its not a matter of letting him not get to 12 quanta for miracle, its more about denying him any light quanta for improved blessings...of which he has tons of
your anti-paradox has a lot of redundant cards...if you get a lot of hopes and fractal (and dragons) early, you wont get as many rols and he only need 2 rols to fuel a blessing
and if you cant stop blessing shenanigans...you're pretty much screwed

this is a discussion thread for anti-FG deck so saying mono works better is misleading because people come here to see an anti-FG deck
for discussion about the feasibility of mono fire in PvP, you might want to search the forum for 'fire stall' (newsflash: its nothing new) or just take a look in the fire subsection
