I kinda wish I'd played a Diregraff ghoul over something, but I was skewing more towards green than black What do you think?
All my games got lost :-/ I ended up going 2-1, though.
Listen Along with Zach
Deep Dead Blue - Elvis Costello
Dawn Metropolis - Anamangauchi
Complete Recordings of Bessie Smith - Bessie Smith
Disneyland Soundtracks - This had the disneyland soundtracks, mostly from frontier land. The highlight of this was the 22 minute complete recording of Fantasmic. Yes, my roommates looked at me funny.
P1P1: I like this pick, even with the Juggernaut in the pack.
ReplyDeleteP1P2: I actually like the Unburial Rites here, it sort-of fits your colours.
P1P6: I like the Patrician better, here.
P1P7: I like the Wolf better.
P1P9: Walking Corpse would be the pick if you had stayed your course here, I think.
P1P11: I think I cut the blue Curse here.
P1P12: Respectable but I think Night Terrors is better.
P2P1: I like the pick, too. Bat is good.
P2P2: I can't remember how your deck looks but I think I like the juggernaut better. Perhaps the Banshee is the right pick...
P2P3: Fine pick but there's a decent Black card if you had stayed out of Green...
P2P4: I like the Diregraf better than the Corpse, here. You have literally no other one-drops, right?
P2P5: I guess... The Boar barely wins out over the Disciple. I don't like it a lot though...
P2P6: STOP
STOP
STOP
There's a Charmbreaker Devils in there.
P2P9: Vigil, perhaps? For the splash.
P2P10: Another Vigil. But there's a TENTH PICK GEISTFLAME. If you had just taken the Charmbreaker before...
P2P11: Pick here is Cobbled Wings. You need fliers (and a 5/5 trampling flying boar is good!).
P3P2: Mystics! Also, you have two boars already, right?
P3P3: Another Geistflame... I am crying inside.
P3P11: I like Night Terrors better for the board here.
Overall, this looks fine, but you really should have caught on to the Charmbreaker Devils in the middle of pack two, I feel, even if Red dried up after that.
Also, Unburial Rites over Dead Weight, especially with the Angel in the pack. It would've been an all-star in your deck.
Yeah - totally missed the boat on the rites and the charmbreaker devils. The rites is a card I need to train myself to start recognizing. For some reason I skim over it thinking that it's unplayable by it's picture.... Stop that!
ReplyDeleteThe devils was a no-loss pick-up, but I doubt I would have been picking up the geistflames to move in after that. Maybe I would have, though.
p1p5: 5 picks 4 colors, smooth mate, smooth :P I probably would have taken the Amulet here, but if were willing to ditch a pick or two right away, sure!
ReplyDeletep1p7: I disagree with Lobster here, I prefer the Prey Upon, now next time the pick arises Id take the wolf but I still like removal over dudes.
p1p8: I would have taken the Cleaver here in a vain attempt to stay open.
p1p9: Why are we abandoning the spirits? Travel Preps is GW MAN!
edp1: I honestly don't see you as anything other than Gx at the moment here mate, I would stick with white mainly cause your white is decent and Travel Preps is bloody INSANE!
p2p1: If your black sure, and I agree the Champ is a very swingy card, Ill let other people have fun with it and pass it unless its the head and shoulders best card in the pack.
p2p2: Yeah I agree, if your black Id take the Banshee here.
p2p3: I like Splinterfright, I havent gotten to play with him much, but I think your undervaluing him here sir.
p2p4: I like the 1 drop here more than the Corpse here personally, but the Corpse is more consistant.
p2p6: What the other dude said. DEAR GOD WHY IS HE STILL THERE/!?
p2p11: I agree with Lobster, in green I like the wings a lot. Flying is very valuable in this set, so I think having access to that kind of equipment is good in the right type of deck.
p3p2: Besides the fact that I absolutly love Mystics, you have multiple Boars already and 3-0 is worse than 2-1.
p3p3: Im not fan of Make a Wish myself, it might be ok but the land can maybe get you a tix so.
p3p6: Ive said it before and Ill say it again, I dislike Travel Preps when you cant reliably cast both sides, so I would have taken Amulet or just plain cut the Travel Preps. Travel Preps major advantage is that its consistantly 4 +1s spread out, when its only 2 +1s spread out, its far less appealing when your waiting to flash it back.
p3p9: Removal is Removal, which is Removal, which is REMOVAL!
p3p11: Dammit Lobsters stop stealing my commentary! Yeah I feel like better SB card is the Terrors since youll have to cut playables likely and the wish is a easy cut.
I would have cut a Travel Preps for a Diregraf Ghoul.
*Gets off Travel Preps soapbox*
