nice article there dd opening was amusing as i felt the same way even skipping a pe or 2 b4 the release for fam obligations. thank goodness that im greek and dont celebrate regular easter.
side note about bomber man i didnt actually get to combo anyone out the whole tourny go go go exalted beats.
and lastly kaxon of my clan came up w/ the numbers for the pe as he watchd all the replays in round 1 thx for the scout there kax.
Wow, i've never seen an aggro loam deck built in such a casual way I mean, if that guy had 3 terravore, werebears, the right number of seismic assaults, dark confidants and enchantment removal as the best lists have, he should have topped 8!
We in the pauper community have had problems with a different bug: the Banneret cycle reduces the cost to play a morph of the appropriete type, wich it shouldn't do. Apperently this is a very old bug, but it has now affected PDC Standard.
it would be a simple matter to update your BaCooN deck with counterbalance/top engine.... and make it even more broken... since your running both trinket mage and muddle...... as combos go it's pretty simple and not that bad....
I like combo decks myself it's heavy counters to support it that take it out of my comfort zone... =/
Might have been me, my partner played Acquire to fetch Mind's Eye, then I sculpted it. Later my partner played his own, but I kept mine in hand fearing Vengeance.
Also for 1cc blue I like Hydroblast, for much the same reason I like Ancident Grudge. Everyone is bringing red spells by default, so stop that Godo in his tracks. Ditto, pyroblast.
The synergy I enjoy is Eternal Witness + Deadwood Treefolk (+Genesis) with these two (or three) you can recur anything in your dec, forever.
this is like worst article imo... heritage druid is terrble, what you say is overrated is terrible opinion (cream and collosus are redic) and when has anyone rated decleration and grimoire thief to be good cards... when was revalark not worth a lot, and when was bitterblossom not expensive... sorry but this is a confusing article.
Great article. As far as your crusher deck, I have been playing a similar deck to much success in the 8 man queues. My name for the deck is "Crush and Burn", which I like a lot (much more exciting than crusher deck wins). Can you help me make this catch on?
Being a player who has little money, i tried to make an elf warrior deck.
I tried cream of the krapp, and chameleonaire collossus, and guess what, they actually do good sometimes.
If i had better cards, maybe i wouldnt use them, but i am doing ok.
if you have cream of the crapp out, u can tutor a whole lot if u also have imperious perfect. if i have bramblewood paragon, collosus CIP with trample, which combined with the mana boost from garruk, can be quite deadly.
So, the win condition is either bouncing all permanents back to the opponent's hand a-la Venser/cloudskate or getting an infinite life lock via the aven riftwatcher? This is supposed to be like Life.dec in extended, right?
great article but i really have not seen bitterblossom making a huge impact on classic right now. Its been discussed by some of us fanatics and it really only fits into a few decks right now. Plus the life loss is really dangerous in classic when you are already starting out at 16 life.
The early reviews I saw pegged Bitterblossom and Mutavault as the chase rares in the set. Reveillark was also always in the top tier. They are still critical parts of tier one decks.
Mumuring Bosk was also listed as one of the chase rares, and it has been dropping in price a fair amount. It's good, but more limited than expected. Countryside Crusher has also fallen a lot in value, and was not making as much impact as expected.
Don't take this criticism to badly, however. This sort of article is highly subjective, and opinions vary. Any opinion article will always get feedback, generally critical. Don''t let it bother you.
I assume the interview isn't as interesting anymore as the deck is old news by now. If you wish to talk to me either way you can contact me on modo or by email morten.batbuktPANTS@gmail.com (remove pants).
On Under: Bitterblossom and Reveliak were never under-rated. They debued as high dollar rares at my local stores, with the only thing keeping Revelark's cost down being it's preconnage. I have yet to see Battle-Axe or Hermit Druid in a serious constructed deck, so you may think them under, but they're junk to me. Shard Volley was a bit under-rated at first, but now it's just another staple burn spell, like Rift Bolt.
On Over: Declaration of Naught has always been a crap rare. It's easy to see why if you've tried playing it inside a deck. Cream of the Crop isn't Sylvan Library, it's Greater Good, which is a combo card. It's an engine without a home (so far). Colossus, if anything, is under-rated. It's a high tier card without a fixed archtype, yet has shown up in extended rock decks that have gotten blue envelopes. It goes well in Lorwyn block Treefolk btw. The other two, Scapeshift and Grimmy Thief I never rated high, but maybe you did? Although if you've never Scapeshifted into 4 Cloudpost 2 Vesuva and a Dark Depths, you should give it a shot sometime.
Thank you for the feedback guys. outlaw, I know reports can be dry... I was hoping I kept it light enough to be readable. Glad it pleased! I'll be bugging WW soon about an MED preview or two. Hopefully he is able to share some information with us!
Mother of Runes was the first 1cc White Creature I would think of, but again, it seems unlikely. Unless that was a hint at a shadowmoor/eventide card and the MED mystery preview was actually Necro...
Interesting to think about what would happen to Classic with Necro in it...
Good Article. Sometimes these reports can be really dry but you managed to keep it light and inject some humor which I really liked. Keep up the good work!
Write more
This is quickly becoming my favorite article here. Puts a smile on my face.
Maybe you will try to add some cowbell next... or cow tossing. You know.. *wink*
Please....?
As always, funny stuff!!

worst. ever.
I also noticed that "Pemmin's Aura" is vastly superior to "Freed from the Real" as it protects Thief (at the same cost)

Never played the format, so I'll build and give the cheap version a go.
Nice article Pete
I downloaded the prog and it just crashes, never starting....
The old version works fine.
I run Win XP SP2 and disabled antivirus/spyware... is there an incompatability I am not aware of. Any resources that can help me find out for myself?
Thanks
I would be interested in some referance points on the charts like Lor release Mor release.

Hey. Thanks for crediting me with the deck.

Oooh... vague hints at possible MED cards... :)

More MED hints, please!!! :D
Nice article and walkthrough though.
