can u guys tell me where MTG players gather to play t1 on IRC?

thanks

i dont wish to run so many artifacts as i believe artifacts are so easily hosed

i really think energy field is great against beatdown

i wish to keep this mono u.... blue is my favorite color

4xbrainstorm with 4 xfetchland is good... in the beginning it can help a lot especially if ur landscrewed or if waht you have in your hand is not what you need... it can hide good cards from duress/hymn and cycle threw your deck faster to get what you need...

the original idea behidn this deck was to bring out the tims as fast as possible... and bounce all the big creatures... and recounter them...  and control the game late on with bounce and counterage....... the non powered version of this deck is great fun in a casual environment but yea i really think it might be ok in a vintage environment especially when powered and other utility/hate thrown into it

everyone runs either control or combo or both... its rather annoying but bounce is all around good utility to mess around against that..

hmm thanks for the comments guys

hmm i dont like artifacts... i like to keep it blue.... i kinda want to run more artifact hate like null rod or energy flux because everyone runs artifacts........

the reason why i say ophid' eye is because i play in a control heavy environment... cant counter it and you get the card advantage when you put it on tim in play...

tinker/colossus.... everyone does it... and like i said i dont wish to run so many artifacts... they still get hosed like crazy imo... and getting your tinker countered hurts (i know cuz i do it to my friends all the time)

bounce is really powerful... thats why the cap... and the buyback is ok...

energy field is for ppl who drop the colossus on turn 2 against me.... i rather just chill there poke with my tim and draw cards and boucne the colossus when the energy field falls... also energy field seems like a good idea agaisnt sligh...  slight always give blue control problems

hmm sideboard? don't really play with SB with friends but i guess if i did

sb

1xmisdirection
2xtormod's crypt
4xred elemental blast
4xextract
4xenergy flux

also thinking about dropping in null rods... i dont got that many art's
but my friends drop em like its hot....kinda annoying

hi guys, i havn't been to TMD in a while... and just got back into magic... i've always played blue... my first blue deck was full of counterspells, and lots and lots of tim's(he's a freaking champion in numbers)

primary win condition is of course disable/control followed followed by beat down by tims....

my friends always play control/combo decks(gift's, slave...blah) and sligh(goblins!) so keep in mind my meta game....
