1  Eternal Formats / Creative / Welder tricks with Sundering Titan? on: February 07, 2004, 02:09:45 pm
If you have active Welders with a Titan on the board, you've pretty much sealed the game.  With Bloodmoon, the combo is amazing.  After you destroy their basics, drop Bloodmoon and proceed to destroy everything else.  Sure, you lose the lands too, but with a beatstick like that, who cares?

I'm not sure if it can, but adding Anger to Buried Alive would definitely be a plus.  Having your creatures come back to life with haste is a definite bonus.  A deck like this could also stand to abuse Bazaars of Baghdad, since it is beneficial to dump your creatures in the graveyard.

Unfortuneately, I've always found the old Buried Alive decks to be kind of slow, so if you could speed it up some how it would be much better.  If you can't make it faster, perhaps disruption in the form of Duress and Cabal Therapy (which has good synergy with recurring creatures) would buy you the time to win.

If the cost was just one mana or one life, then it would be pretty good.  As it stands, it just isn't as good as the shade.

Darksteel Colossus is indestructible ("Destroy" effects and lethal damage don't destroy it.)
If Darksteel Colossus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Darksteel Colossus and shuffle it into its owner's library instead.

JOHNNY LIKE BIIIIIG!!!. Indestructable might be worth something. Oath Maybe? Oathing this guy into play is a much faster clock than Morphling, and the only difference is that he is vulnerable to Plow, which oath can counter. However, invulnerability to plow is the reason Morphling is played, so im not sure how this will turn out.


This guy would be good in Stax, if it needed a better win condition.  It doesnt.  Sorry buddy.  Maybe in Extended Oath.....oh, whoops.


It's not even weldable.  Makes it much more difficult to use in TnT.  Stax can't weld it either; it is strictly just a hard-castable beatstick.

What about Horsemanship?  Or would they just not bother with the Three Kingdom cards?  I could just imagine some annoying horsemanship decks cropping up. . .   Razz


How would a horsemanship deck be annoying? The mechanic itself is only slightly better than Shadow, while all the creatures that have it are nowhere near as efficiently costed.


Smilie = I'm just kidding.

Also, annoying doesn't mean good.  Annoying is just annoying.  Like when someone rides their horse past your Dreadnaught.  That's annoying (but ultimately futile).

Can't really say.  PhpBB is in PHP as opposed to Perl, so it will probably be a bit faster.  I know it supports gZip compression too, so it should help with bandwidth.  The admin for PhpBB is a little sloppy, but it gets the job done.  Templating was painful the last time I tried it; don't know how it is now.

Personally, I probably would have went for Invision Board, but that's just my opinion.  It has a really nice backend and it is pretty easy to customize and theme.

The problem with the Leviathan is that it is still dependent on the fragile Mask combo.  While it may be a good backup for the Dreadnaught, it is still just as bad on its own.

Sundering Titan is interesting, but if your opponent doesn't have and Forests or Mountains (assuming you're playing TnT), you could lose a couple of lands.

i am not familliar with the FAQ that Malus mentioned a few posts above. that page would seem like what im looking for.


I believe it is stickied to the top of the Open Type I Forum.

Am I to assume that I would have to earn the right to post in the other forums, even though I had access to it with the old boards?

[edit]NM, read the FAQ.[/edit]

Also, I'm curious as to whether there were going to be any enhancements to the site design or backend.  I'm fairly proficient with Photoshop and programming in PHP/MySQL, while many others on the forum probably are as well, so there are plenty of people that could help with that.
