If you want a REAL slop to put on your list, why don't you tell everyone that i topdecked Spiderman to your face?


Heh... Are you referring to Eugene's altered Rancor?

Spiderman is a mogg fantic altered so that the artwork has been changed from a goblin to spiderman.
The card look amazing in person trust me!

I have a question about what happens with Fiend if Nights of the soul’s betrayal is in play. One of the guys at the tournament runs that in his sideboard mainly against oath, but I could see him putting them in against me since it kills off bobs and such. But with fiend it comes into play, that triggers, then as a state based effect of the -1/-1 it dies and goes to the grave yard, then that effect triggers, now does the coming into play resolve before the leaving play? Or will the leaving play resolve first. Since it’s a state based effect with the -1/-1.

So if I dropped one would I just be able to look at there hand and remove one from the game that they don’t get back. Or will they get it back right away?

It sounds to me like this would work the same way that swords or bounce works against dragon. Fiend comes into play and the comes into play trigger goes on the stack, state based effects kick in killing the fiend, the leaves play trigger goes on the stack, leaves play resolves returning nothing, then comes into play resolves permanently removing a card in his hand from the game. At least thats how it sounds to me.

Chromatic sphere works wonders in this deck when i was testing out a similar build it was a card that i was never sad to see. Also i think that you should test the sol ring in this build before cutting it you never know you may like it in there.

All of the rest of the people I played were kids playing little creature decks, so really I didn't need anything. But then I would kill my self 2nd or 3rd turn. So yeah. Made me bitter. I didn't want to fight kids and little creature decks all day, I wanted to go against the actual type one decks that were there.

This is the biggest problem playing in this meta.  Majority of it is bad aggro decks or modified Type 2 decks.  There is a group of people who show up with actual type 1 decks and you get lucky if you face 1 of them a tournament because of the small turn out.  If you live near there and you are looking for someone to test with let me know I am always looking for a good game and I need someone new to play with.

How did you end up finishing with this? I think when i was talking to you outside on the lunch break you were 1-2 with 1 round to go. I didn't get to see any of your matches except when you were playing mike for fun and i would have really liked to see how this deck plays.

After playing the deck and seeing what the meta is like what changes would you make for the next tournament? if you make it out that is

Also what do you think this decks best match up is?

ok i understand how it works now thank you for the clarification

ok so if i understand what happens correctly using the example from this post it would work like this?

cast merchant scroll
eots removes and imprints scroll, then puts a scroll copy on eots, scroll gets played for free grabing twiddle
cast twiddle
eots removes and imprints twiddle, then puts a scoll and a twiddle copy on eots, then either can be cast for free and the process repeats?

please correct me if i am wrong here

Hello everyone this is my first post here on the mana drain, but i have been reading the forums from quite a while. while reading this post i notice something that i don't think that anyone post has noticed about eots. I had to check with the FAQ on the cards to make sure that my thoughts were correct before saying anything, but here it goes.

according to the FAQ the initial spells cast that are removed from the game by eots never resolve and also the copies made by eots don't activate eye of the storm

just so that everything is clear i willl post the FAQ section for eye of the storm so that it can be clear


Eye of the Storm
{5}{U}{U}
Enchantment
Whenever a player plays an instant or sorcery card, remove it from the game. Then that player copies each instant or sorcery card removed from the game with Eye of the Storm. For each copy, the player may play the copy without paying its mana cost.

* The ability triggers when a player plays an instant or sorcery *card*. A copy of a spell (such as those generated by Eye of the Storm itself) won't trigger this ability. The card that was played is removed from the game and won't resolve, but the player will get a copy of the spell from Eye of the Storm.

* When the ability resolves, the player copies all cards removed from the game with Eye of the Storm, not just the cards he or she owns. That player then chooses which of those copies to play, if any. All chosen copies are played in the order the player chooses.

* The player chooses modes, pays additional costs, chooses targets, and so on for the copies when playing them. Any X in the mana cost of a copy played this way will be 0. Alternative costs can't be paid.
