Ok little blog, it's been too long for me to not write on you so here we go.
I decided to take a small break but that rally didn't last long. You see mr medina is a pretty convncing guy and a few messages here and there on twitter and some rather interesting SMS from certain people asking for my help,I was offs my break. Normally I take breaks like this and they typically last about 2 months or brio the next set comes out buyout q few hours seems ok too... I guess. I felt that if I did take a break, I would fall so far behind that it wod take a lot longer to catch back up than it has in recent years. The last time I took time off was Month after conflux and i pretty much all of he bant deck before knight and the mana fixer exPlodde into popularity.
As of right now I am doing a few things. 1 I am foiling out most of the tezz deck that inhale in the works along with the aintrazi mono blue list. Medina talks about how he foils it out and so far the reaction I see from people is pretty awesome. Plus the deck looks so ill. Second I am picking up as many SoM cards that I feel will have some impact on standard when zendikar rotates In a few months. Picking up koths was a great idea becuSe the price actually went up about 5 bucks on channel fireball bringing them to 25 instead of 20. I also picked uP masticores because if you actually notice,this guy is a 4/4 for 4 that regens for 2 and domes you for 4. Sounds pretty good. I am also building 3 decks Right now. The mono blue aintrazi deck, the legion of doom deck and this really sweet ub infect control deck I have built.
I built the infect deck before kiblers version and when I saw it on scg, I was just horrified at how bad it was. He made play mistakes but fuck, there was no control aspect what so ever and he just went all in and with ub infect you just don't want to do that. soni am pretty confident in saying that my lost is way better than he one inhis vids. I will be putting that list up later. I think that's enough for now. I was going to put of these 3 hit softball girls up but in can't get it to work on my phone. One of them is the whooty girl... Ugh shes so hot.
Also, I am pretty sure the eh team ep 28 is my fav podcast episode of all time.Seriously at an hour into the episode is my favorite part. Jayboosh is fucking brilliant
I totally agree. Kibler's list was highly suspect and trying him not playing skithyrix in dallas was also highly suspect.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with infect in standard right now is that red is making a comeback. In 3 different decks, and burn is very effective against infect creatures and inkmoth nexus. Add to that the fact that artifact removal is seeing an uptick in use because of Tezzeret and Caw-blade (in all it's forms), and you have a critical mass of problems that make infect kind of bad right now.
I also agree about episode 28. I'll go a step further and say that The Eh Team is the best magic podcast in existence right now. It's almost a ghostbusters type level of hilarity. You have Scotty who kind of plays the straight guy of the bunch (straight as in not the comedy relief, not that scott isn't funny), Jesse and Kyt are like Dan Akroid and Harold Ramis bouncing deck ideas off each other being the serious tournament types, and Jay is the Bill Murray of the group.
All in all it's the perfect blend of all things hilarious and poignant when it comes to magic and magic culture.
I do see vatmother and crusader being an issue for burn tho. If the deck is more control instead of just infect creatures, I could see it being an actual contender. the deck has a lot of potential and I hope to see it played and tested alot more. We did see a mono green version at sn open so who knows what else could show up
