If you're playing Mantis Rider against a deck with 2/1 and 2/2s, always block and force them to have it.
Always. That G1 was stolen by that bluff. I hope Jadine can learn from this.

And G2 was actually lost because the guy totally forgot that Bloodsoaked Champion actually has a text box and isn't just a 2/1 for 1.

Or even Extinguish All Hope, though that won't affect opposing Coursers. I like the deck, though: they don't really care about singleton removal as long as it ends up in the graveyard to fuel something else later. And I agree: as soon as I heard about Todd's deck running 4x Fiend I unconsciously flinched. :lol:

I don't think 4 is right. You don't want more than 2, I don't think.

Has anyone else noticed that Mardu is sticking better than the other clan names, since it didn't have well-established names before?

:eng101: All right, listen up y'all. I'm y'all's Standard format, Khans of Tarkir. I brewed decks for twenty years in Shards of Alara, so don't even think about messing with me. Y'all feel me? Let's take roll here.

Junk? Where's Junk at? No Junk here?

:raise: Do you mean Abzan?

:eng101: OK, so that's how it's gonna be. Y'all wanna play. OK then. I got my eye on you, Junk.

BUG. Where is BUG at? No BUG here today? Yes, sir?

:shrug: My name is Sultai...

:eng99: Are you out of yo goddamn mind? Sultai? What? Do you want to go to war, BUG? 'Cause we could go to war. I'm for real. I'm for real. So you better check yourself.

RUG. Is there a RUG? If one of y'all says some silly-rear end name, this whole class is gonna feel my wrath. Now, RUG.

;-* Do you mean Temur?

:engleft: Son of a bitch! You say your name right, right now.

;-* Temur.

:engleft: Say it right.

;-* Temur.

:engleft: Correctly.

;-* Temur.

:engleft: Right.

;-* Temur.

:engleft: Right.

;-* RUG.

:eng101: That's better. Thank you.

Now. America, where are you? Where is America right now? No America, huh? Well you better be sick, dead, or mute, America -

:v: Here!

:eng99: Why didn't you answer me the first time I said it? You know, I'm just asking you, I said it like four times, so why didn't you say it the first time I said America?

:v: Because it's pronounced Jeskai?

:engleft: SON OF A BITCH! You done messed up, America! Get out of my goddamn classroom before I break my foot off in your rear end. Insubordinate, and churlish.

Mardu?

:tipshat: Present.

Mardu has been called Dega for a long time from my perspective, IMO, but Mardu feels like the least-awkward name to pronounce.

I agree; 4 is waaaaay too much for how much it costs normally and considering its effect's cost.

Yeah, Standard seems to be pretty fun this time around. Then again I haven't seen much Standard besides INN-RTR standard and beyond.

The first 2 weeks after a new set is released is usually interesting since something new always seems to come around. Even if it's just a few Brews with some of the new cards.

The first month after a new rotation is usually madness because everything has changed and nothing is really set in stone until the first Pro Tour of the new Standard.

The 2-Set-Blocks-No-Core-Sets release schedule is going to make spectating High Level play a lot more interesting with Standard shifting every 3 months and Rotations happening every 6 months.

So I picked up the Khans event deck because I want to play BW aggro forever and it seems like a good way to get into standard. Any advice on cards I should swap out? I want to modify the decklist (maybe get a couple more Bloodsoaked Champions in there) but I'm not really sure where to start.

Swap out two Scale Chiefs for the Edgelord variant, 3 more bloodsoaked champs for the Oreskos Swiftclaw, 2 Seeker of the Way and a Pain Seer for three more Herald of Torment, 2 Dictates and a Scoured Barrens for 3 more Bile Blight, and I think that would help a lot.

It was on earlier and helped the Jeskai Tempo player win, so maybe? In comparison to almost everyone I know, I really liked it coming out.
