Play that Cleaver!
You may not know this, but I’m a mult amputee, so the cleaver just made me uncomfortable.
Okay, so I just learned that it’s possible to play a deck with only 10 dudes. I guess.
In this format, that is.
Really fun and interesting videos. Your stories help to keep it more entertaining
I found that the whole spawn tokens to big eldrazi plan has always failed me in limited but you have shown that you can do pretty good with it.
Keep the videos coming!
u shuld quite this gam
Round 1 @ 4:30
Consider attacking with both. If he doesn’t block, you can set up a play where you Traitorous Instinct ftw, which is probably ur best way out of that situation.
I liked the RG build better. And maybe it’s me but that Eldrazi counter spell seems just aweful. Still it takes some big ones to film a format you know nothing about! Kuddos to you sir!!
Yeah, as I prefaced this vid, I had no real clue what I was doing. I just saw big amazing guys (like at the gym) and went for it (like at the gym). The green variant seemed potentially smoother, but lackluster in oomph. I consider myself a risktaker when it comes to building and playing decks, esp. in LTD. I in no way think this works for everyone, but my philosophy is “win, don’t try to not lose.”
OMA, you are beyond right. Again, I was lured into the notion of playing Eldrazi and bashing with them unimpeded. Sigh, that card sucks as bad as The Day The Earth Stood Still Remake. (Poor, Keanu
)
BTW, I saw Iron Maiden in 86 or 87 (7th son tour) lost about 15% of my hearing in my left ear!
And you are a bit of a sac, you ripped like a champ sir.
No, no, no… I ripped like a leprechaun! I literally thought/said “I need this to win or not lose” and summoned it like Genie turds more times than Steven Hawking could quantifiably justify.
BTW, “…saw Iron Maiden in 80-whenever”? Good god, man. How old are you, friend?!
And can someone buy this guy ‘j’ a vowel?
As a resident of Brooklyn, how often do you get called a hipster these days? I’ve gotten called a hipster so much that I think people pretty much think it means white, middle class, twenty-something nowadays. I don’t own any vinyl records and I don’t base major life decisions purely on irony, so they might as well be calling me emo, it’s just as apt.
Well, I DJ in the Lower East Side a few nights a week, have quite a few tattoos and wear skinny jeans, despite being 32. So, yeah, it comes up, but moreso in the “retired” sense of the word.
Hipster.
I blame Allen Ginsberg for popularizing the term.
In R1 G2 why didn’t you wait to use Heat Ray as an instant to save yourself 2 damage?
Bc I am fallible, friend. And sometimes I wait to see what’s coming, even at the cost of damage.
38.

I know the anagram; the age was the info I lacked.
I was just kidding man
And I forgive you!
Honestly, I didn’t have you at 32…For gods sake, you were skinny jeans! 25 tops!
Dude, it’s like when I look at my dad and think, “why is he still dressing like he’s waiting for tickets at an Aerosmith concert?” You just stick to what you know and ride it out, ridic or not. Scenester 4 lyfe!
