I can't believe how hard you by Paul Leicht at Tue, 03/19/2013 - 17:25

I can't believe how hard you guys ragged on Tibalt. Especially considering he HAS seen some tourney play.

One with Nothing has also seen some tourney play.

I don't hear a lot of ragging by Paul Leicht at Tue, 03/19/2013 - 20:13

I don't hear a lot of ragging from you guys about One with Nothing...Also Has seen play and has been in winning decks are different things.

I feel like this ragging was gratuitous akin to the beating Cotton put on poor Spark Elemental.

Gosh apparently I've started by CottonRhetoric at Tue, 03/19/2013 - 20:27

Gosh apparently I've started a scandal!

I just hope nobody asks me to apologize for my Teferi's Imp rant.

How dare you rant about by AJ_Impy at Wed, 03/20/2013 - 03:38

How dare you rant about Teferi's Imp?! Dont you realise that, over the course of several turns, that 1/1 flyer can loot a couple times?

...Nope, can't do it. Bad card is bad. I suppose if you had some phasing shenanigans you could make it loot more, but unless we get a torpor orb for phase out effects, tough to abuse. Not impossible, I suppose. Combos with Bottled Cloister by making you unable to discard when it phases out.

Honestly I thought Cotton was by Paul Leicht at Wed, 03/20/2013 - 12:10

Honestly I thought Cotton was soft (pardon the pun) on Teferi's Imp. I mean of all the lousy imps out there this one really takes the cake. And that isn't even getting into the looting aspect. Phasing sucks as he said but also overcosted 1/1s that don't do very much good and potentially do harm suck even more.

One with Nothing's mama is so by gamemaster32 at Tue, 03/19/2013 - 22:13

One with Nothing's mama is so fat, we had to take a train and two buses to get on her good side.

Is that better? :)

Tibalt is pretty sweet in by whiffy at Wed, 03/20/2013 - 00:44

Tibalt is pretty sweet in commander when you can manipulate his counters, doubling season, proliferate, steal the baord kill you all. But yea pretty weak in anything else.

@Tibalt by Elbinac at Wed, 03/20/2013 - 02:14

He wants a deck that cares more about ripping cards out of the deck than keeping them in hand.
Or as a work around you could use Library of Leng (might have that name wrong, bit tired at the moment and not logged on to modo)
to give you control of whether you discard to the graveyard or the top of your deck for better card selection.

He might have a place in legacy or modern dredge type decks at some point.
Or at least he wouldn't look that terrible with a life from the loam engine running next to him.

With a deck-stacking effect by AJ_Impy at Wed, 03/20/2013 - 03:58

With a deck-stacking effect and an empty hand, you can use him in a manner akin to the Wild Research - Madness decks.

Still not great.

I run a couple Tibalt in a by RexDart at Wed, 03/20/2013 - 10:50
RexDart's picture

I run a couple Tibalt in a tribal wars Patriarch's Bidding deck (with Devils, obviously), and he's *almost* raw card advantage in something like that. Plus, people respect the threat of the ultimate pretty highly, since it's pretty tough to play around it (at least in tribal wars.) So he tends to draw some fire -- people figure if you are playing him, you must have a good reason, so they go after it. There's a lot of unexplored deck design space for him, and he's been really hated on much more than he deserves. At two mana, he's always at least castable if you find a way to take advantage of his skills.

This. Tibalt really shines by Paul Leicht at Wed, 03/20/2013 - 12:12

This. Tibalt really shines when your object is to randomly discard lots of cards. I realize that people don't often find value in that but he has been a great asset in several burning vengeance decks as well as a couple of other similar decks.
