Nah, it was just the 2-3 matches with the standard decks. You sideboarded too iirc.

Why do I get the feeling cid's Standard sideboards are not standard sideboards?Originally posted by ArmandoOriginally posted by ArmandoOriginally posted by TaskmageMatthew 16:15Originally posted by TaskmageComment

Re: Magic: The Gathering
So, Gruul is looking like the #1 pick thus far for Limited. Seriously good stuff thus far. I'd put Orzhov @ second - Dimir is probably the strongest guild this set, but I feel like it's much more viable in constructed than limited unless you get really lucky with the draft picks. That Thrull for example, puts Orzhov very near the top. Having both a 1 and 2-drop extort option at common can not be underestimated.Comment

Re: Magic: The Gathering
Depends for me.Originally posted by Yygdrasil View Post
If my deck is still definitely a WIP like my Modern Dimir Milling Deck then yeah I will be making changes often, and it will have both a Sideboard and a "Maybeboard"
If it is a competitive deck then you bet I'm going to make a sideboard. A Competitive Deck without a sideboard isn't maximising your chances of winning.
If it is a casual deck that I feel is not complete then it will have one.
If it is a casual deck that I feel is complete but I can have some options, I will make a sideboard.
If it is a casual deck that I feel is complete or doesn't really need one, I don't have one
Basically for me it depends on the deck and how competitive the deck is intended to be. That said I am a deckbuilder, it is why I dislike Standard since once the metagame is down to a certain few decks, there are very few real choices in terms of what deck to use unless you want people who completely miss the point of "Deckbuilding for Fun" telling you to "Stop having fun and play whatever Spike deck is best for the colour of the deck" or somethingRahal Gerrant - Balmung - 188 DRK

I have one Standard deck. It consists of 60 cards and a 15 card sideboard. Ask TM if you don't believe me, he's got the deck list.Server: Midgardsormr -> Quetzalcoatl -> Valefor

Re: Magic: The Gathering
To be fair YM, you are the one that plays the faster decks in Multiplayer so you do sometimes beat Cid and myself to "fastest person to get a huge target on their head".
Which is probably why TM ends up winning a lot due to Cid's "Bomberman Principle".Rahal Gerrant - Balmung - 188 DRK

Re: Magic: The Gathering
As I recall, cid and I often end up killing each other.Last edited by Yellow Mage; 01-10-2013, 05:13 PM.

Re: Magic: The Gathering
Well in pretty much all multiplayer formats (Except maybe 2HG), the game doesn't get doing until about 4-5 turns in so it is actually not a bad place to test out slower decks too. it's why I also see little value in 1/1's without any notable abilities and one drops that are 1/1's. They die fast and it is a slot in the deck that could have gotten you towards your endgame strategy.
It is why the fast aggro players tend to take each other out with the "winner" being picked off a turn or two later. Multiplayer Magic should be thought of as more a Marathon and not a Sprint.Rahal Gerrant - Balmung - 188 DRK

Holy Crap. Imagine dropping that plus Wrath of God, plus a second Boros Charm for Double Strike.
Mezlo: I might be available tomorrow evening GMT (so early afternoon for you I think). But with no D&D on tomorrow I have been making plans so I probably won't be available until then anyway. Best bet would be to just send me a Skype message if you see me on. Sunday is no go really since it is a Raid Night on SWTOR and everyone in the raid roster likes to meet up for Roleplay after.Rahal Gerrant - Balmung - 188 DRK
