It doesn't look like Third Eye runs events anymore. Which is a shame because they are a very clean and organized quality place. I'll remove them from my list. Please don't go to Dream Wizards though, as long as they make money they will never improve.

You'd be better off challenging opponents in a dirty rest stop bathroom. Good Baltimore places to look into: Games and Stuff Brewport Games Squabbles Titan Games There are a couple other reasonable places, but these are the ones I frequent or have heard the best things about.

Games and stuff is fantastic. I usually go there to play x-wing but their magic events and employees are great. They have great players too. They have 15-card proxy vintage tournaments monthly with great prize support but those are $20 entry.

Dream Wizards is the hottest garbage in case everyone else's opinion hasn't convinced anyone. I played at Beyond Comics and Novel Books in Gaithersburg, MD when I lived there, small crowds with flatter prize payouts that encourages enjoyable evenings of wizard poker. Skilled players too, but it's not the place to go if you want to walk away with a box for winning FNM.

Curio Cavern is mostly boring dudes with a few sweet characters like Luis, Mikey, and Chris (and formerly Gearheart) to keep the amusement up. There seems to be too many of the grinder types that frequent the cavern nowadays.

I have never been to Dream Wizards but always see PTQs and IQs and stuff so that's why I mentioned but if the posters in this thread say it's bad then don't go there. I also like Curio Cavern and can vouch for everyone I've played being really nice and cool

It's amazing to me that Dream Wizards pushes on, I've never heard a good thing about them, every experience I've had has been bad. Even people in the Judging community will warn each other about that place.

Thing that happened at Dream Wizards: high school age head judge for TCG Standard States last month gave away the "Champion" playmat to the person I beat in the first round of the top 8, and didn't notice until after the guy had already left. Offered the finalists the Judge playmat as a consolation.

Second draft of my brew, partly justifying my trying to acquire Bobs/Skrillex, hoping the extra cards will make it more consistent. I'm starting to rethink the Zombies though, Gravecrawler is not so easily exploited as Bloodghast, but both it and Messenger work with the deck's aims, and Messenger and Mutavault should help me cast Gravecrawlers from the graveyard. I could possibly switch the 'Crawlers for Bloodsoaked Champion, and possibly bring in Falkenrath Aristocrat to do some heavy hitting. //Lands 4 Godless Shrine 4 Isolated Chapel 4 Marsh Flats 2 Mutavault 1 Plains 2 Polluted Delta 5 Swamp 1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth //Spells 2 Liliana of the Veil 4 Lingering Souls 4 Thoughtseize 3 Victim of Night //Creatures 4 Blood Artist 4 Bloodghast 4 Dark Confidant 2 Geralf's Messenger 4 Gravecrawler 1 Painter's Servant 3 Teysa, Orzhov Scion 2 Viscera Seer

If not that, a good RUx control deck with Pyroclasm/Anger of the Gods, Spell Snare/Pierce, Batterskull, etc. My RUG deck has pretty good game against both. I can post lists for either if you're interested.

I'm still not really happy with it. It's missing something... I'll probably add some blue for Serum Visions and Thought Scour, and I guess Treasure Cruise. I hear that's a good card.

Streaming is easy to set up, if you are being serious I can help you out with setting it up. Streaming MTGO takes a pretty beefy comp though.

I was half serious, but I doubt my laptop could handle it. It can barely play Starcraft 2 on high, so MTGO seems like it's out of the question. Thanks anyway, though. I might take you up on it one day.

Legacy people - what are your thoughts on this Mono Green 12-post deck? It went 3-1 online in a legacy daily. It looks surprisingly cheap to put together in paper as well (other than a 1-of Tabernacle in the sideboard) - although it doesn't run Candelabras which seems incorrect to me?

Mondrian posted:Legacy people - what are your thoughts on this Mono Green 12-post deck? It went 3-1 online in a legacy daily. The 12-post lists I've seen all do run Candelabras, but in paper they instantly turn it from a budget list to a non-budget list so if the deck works without it, might as well save the money. The list is obviously weak to any non-basic land hate, but thankfully there's a lot less of that going around than there used to be.

The deck du jour can't do poo poo about a recurring Glacial Chasm. You wouldn't want Candelabras in this list since you can't do Repeal shenanigans if you're not in blue. Idk, it has the same problems that Turbo Eldrazi does except you don't have any reliable selection other than the tops. You probably want a Tabernacle since it fucks up UR Delver real bad and is a good out to TES or something making like 16 goblins turn 1.

Mondrian posted:Legacy people - what are your thoughts on this Mono Green 12-post deck? It went 3-1 online in a legacy daily. I don't think this deck is where you want to be in Legacy right now. It's not as fast as the truly fast decks and there is very little room to outplay your opponent. So much of the field has great ways to disrupt you, meanwhile you've got a Pithing Needle. Pffbt. It's probably pretty good on MODO where half your matches on any given day are going to be Burn and Delver but I certainly wouldn't be sleeving it up for GPNJ. That said if its between this Legacy deck and no Legacy deck, this poo poo wins every time and it should be fine playing your local store, just you know be prepared to really earn your wins and take some losses where you didn't have much you could do. That reminds me, who is going to GPNJ? Ciprian Maricon fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Nov 4, 2014 |

The sideboard tech is golgari charm, pyroclasm, engineered plague and toxic deluge and 2 each pyroblast and red elemental. I just lose to burn, it's something I have accepted in life.
