No room in the house exceeds a length of twenty-five feet, let alone fifty feet, let alone fifty-six and a half feet, and yet Chad and Daisy's voices are echoing, each call responding with an entirely separate answer. In the living room, Navidson discovers the echoes emanating from a dark, doorless hallway which has appeared out of nowhere in the west wall.

Wasn't as bad as losing to Guerilla Tactics.

Magnificent. Let the tarring and feathering commence!

In a month when JP loses the Mark of Shame on his forehead and next makes fun of Sui, I will be there to initiate the TMD pileon.

JP is so lucky that the Sui forum is gone, because I was bored earlier tonight and wanted to find some quotes of him saying how bad sui is.

So yeah.  Way to go JP

mmmm.... I can smell the crow on JP's plate all the way from Canada.

Poetic justice would've been a loss to Suicide using Standstill as a draw engine.

Dr Sylvan-

Does this mean that the forum still exists for mods only?  Find some more good ones!

Incidentally...

At the last Mississauga (suburb of Toronto) tournament, I played against Void Black in the swiss round. We ID'ed into Top 8, but for fun, we played 3 games (2 SBed), and I creamed him 3-0. Wasn't even close... it was just a bloody massacre.

Then, as "luck" would have it, I meet him in the Top 8, and he wins 2-1 (I was playing Workshop Slaver). A combination of Nether Void and first turn Planar Void, coupled with vast land destruction (one after another)... well, with a good draw, it can be nasty.

It's a hate deck, simple as that. It's not quite as versatile as Fish (some decks hate other decks... Fish hates the whole bloody environment), but Suicide (or Void) Black, can actually rest surprise wins.

So, while the deck will not win (ironically, it lost to Shock Wave in the Top 4), it can be a pain in the ass to face.

sui is like a bad combo deck. Every now and then it gets these crazy draws that will run you over and win the match, but it’s still a bad deck that can't win consistently enough to ever do well. The annoying thing is that its randomness is powerful enough to knock out an unlucky good player.

Unlucky?  Did you miss the mana drain into mind twist, followed by a pair of AKs for two each?  If you can't win after that, exactly what kind of start are you looking for??

The kind of start that doesn't involve shitty Psychatog cards.

Nope, I just have that one saved in the quotes file linked to in my sig. Unfortunately, I think the forum is gone for good, along with its comedy goldmine of people embarrassing themselves.
