TROPHY CASE

Reddit, you probably don't care, but I'm really proud. It took me a decade but I finally got it! by bakanekogatoin pics

[–]patricles43 1 point2 points ago

I know that feeling. Took me 11 years, 3 majors, and 4 schools to finally get my bachelors. Congratulations!

Fastest you've ever made an opponent give up? ( Or just humorous scoop stories) by ThePurpleGhostin magicTCG

I scooped before my friend even played a land. I was on the play. Swamp, despise, scoop. No way was I winning.

new and improved mono black infect. hoping to go to some tournaments in my area. anything i can improve on? by PickledGravyin magicTCG

I actually think the deck is capable of 9-0 as is. I made mistakes in the games I lost. I sideboarded incorrectly vs ub mill, and didn't have any preparation vs bw tokens.

basically even one extra turn is an opportunity to drop a game ending lashwrithe.

she can really help control the game. at the very least, she takes damage away from you and gets in a discard or sac.

I'd definitely look at black sun's zenith / ratchet bomb for sideboard. I agree with Rycerx as far as taking out woodland cemetary and putting in despise. I played mono black infect at the Baltimore GP and did well, so it can definitely still win.

If you want, here's my decklist for some ideas

Going to first major tournament this weekend... by odh1412in magicTCG

great point about the deck list and card count. Have dividers for your deck box, different sleeves for any tokens, and always count cards to make sure you didn't miss one. I just did piles of 20 before shuffling.

You'll hear "Judge!" being yelled every few minutes.

Great points. As an addendum to #2, have extra sleeves. Between rounds, look for bent corners and replace those sleeves. A game loss for having marked cards would be demoralizing.

whoever's on the play declares first I believe.

  • Even if you think you know what a card does, ask your opponent to read it if you are unsure.

  • Take your time and think.

  • Bring snacks / drinks.

I have an elves around 40 bucks. I tried treefolk, but it ended up being more expensive.

sorry man, when I didn't get any responses I traded it in for store credit. I feel bad, I'd rather get it to someone who'd like to use it.

I went 6-3 at baltimore with mono-black infect. I think it lines up pretty well with the meta, especially since noone even considers you with their sideboard. Plus, it's just fun to play.

Any interest in maintaining a group of redditors that like to play test on Cockatrice? by RabbertKlein_in magicTCG

6-3 at Baltimore with monoblack infect - recap by patricles43in magicTCG

[–]patricles43[S] 0 points1 point ago

He had Sorin out, and I had a hand of the Praetors and Phyrexian Crusader out. I was holding another crusader. He ultimated Sorin and took both guys. I hadn't ever run into Sorin, so I wasn't familiar with the wording. Sorin can't target crusader, since crusader is pro-white. Oh well, live and learn.

Some things that stick out are:

1: Getting my first win in the first round. That was awesome.

2: B/W Tokens was something I was completely unprepared for. The second B/W tokens match I should have called a judge. Stupid on my part.

3: People HATED that I ran grafdiggers cage mainboard.

I had a more similar list to yours when I started. I'd definitely try testing with flensermite. I equip him with lashwrithe all the time, and that swings games for me.
