False, you just hate good things. This is why your hair is grey.

Why do you hate vegetables, even delicious ones like grilled corn on the cob?

Wasn't trying to be sly, don't know the proper name I guess.

For the 3/4 body with flash that is uncounterable with Cavern of Souls.

Entreat was incredibly important and I don't think I'd run this deck with less then 4. Miracle casting it meant a game win in the vast majority of cases, even when you only get like 2 angels out. It's awesome that you don't need a ton of mana to make it really effective.

It worked very well, it's a fantastic combat trick and with 4 toughness it can handle a lot of threats. I think a lot of people assumed that I missed my ramp target and had to wait another turn to cast a creature. Also, after playing it, I could leave mana open and they were afraid to attack in.

Hey all! Yesterday I took this deck to a Grand Prix Qualifier and ended up winning with a record of 4-1-1. It wasn't a big pool of players, but I was really happy overall. I beat B/G Soulbound Infect (twice), R/W Human Aggro and a Pod, tied with a crazy Venser/Stonehorn Dignitary deck (1-1), and lost 2-1 to a R/W Human Aggro deck.

I felt it worked really well overall, pretty much stalling until I can get Sigarda out or cast Entreat (either miracle or not). The only card that I didn't feel worked as well as I thought it would was Divine Deflection. It worked well enough to put some surprise damage on a Planeswalker, or snipe smaller support creatures like Thalia, but it didn't seem to do that great overall.

I was considering replacing the 4 copies of Divine Deflection with 4 Lingering Souls, since the main goal of Divine was to stall damage anyways, this gives me that plus potential offensive power as well with Angel of Jubilation pumping them. This is important because I felt like I couldn't really deal with Planeswalkers very well early game, and always had to side in my Beast Withins to kill them. I also have black mana from Birds and Spheres to flashback the card.

The other option would be something with low mana that would ideally work well with Restoration Angel flickering it. Considering something like Blade Splicer or Silverblade Paladin.

I'd really appreciate some thoughts on what to replace Divine Deflection with, as well as I think my sideboard is a bit weak, and could use some assistance there as well.

Thanks!

What happened to IPL top 5 plays? by znowin starcraft

[–]AlexIGN 2 points3 points ago

We ended up taking a break from them to focus on other content. I understand the disappointment as I really enjoyed them myself and I believe we will see these come back. For now the same awesome show producer (Ron) is working on our LoL top 5 plays, and even if you don't play LoL, they are still entertaining, highly recommend you check them out!

Places to draft in San Francisco area? by adleongin magicTCG

[–]AlexIGN 1 point2 points ago

Black Diamond Games in Concord is the best we've found in terms of space for playing, cleanliness of store, parking and judges, but Gamescape is probably the best one in the city itself, though it's fairly cramped, but clean and runs smoothly. End Game in Oakland is all right also, but be warned, if you like to try to win a lot of boosters, both End Game and Gamescape only award one booster per win, Black Diamond gives out bigger prizes, but only if you go 3-1 or 4-0 (if I recall correctly). I much prefer Black Diamond to any other option, even if it is a hike from the city, even if I don't win packs I enjoy the environment a lot more.

When I got my ass kicked by Qxc at MLG Dallas 2010 I was pretty damn happy I even got to play him. Imagine having the chance to play Leenock or MVP? How often does the everyday masters player get a chance to do that?

Who else thinks it would be cool for someone to do an SC2 Power Rank that is similar to the SC1 Power Rank in the link? by zip99in starcraft

[–]AlexIGN 0 points1 point ago

Votes have a factor on the stats, in order for the community to self-correct what they consider to be outliers. But it is mainly based on stats which depreciate the further away the wins are.
