To Bloody Clown Suit:
Your post seems close to flaming, but I do not take it that way.
You have some concerns that need to be addressed.
Round 1 Zombies: I do not feel that it was a game, hence the short review of the matchup. Zombie kid had a dream, and that was to play at a tournament. Enough ragging on the kid. (That kid later beat my friend's Elf deck
.
Round 2 TEAM MEANDECK TRIN$T4KS Piloted by MEANDECKER Christian (Zhalfirin). He wins the die roll, gets his Trinisphere out turn 1. He wins. Game 2: I go first and go just as broken as him. I win. Game 3: his "board control" is a facade. I could take out his position anytime (rebuild!). When time was called, it was "I" who had board position and would not be defeated. There were only to be a few turns left and I really do not think he could have beaten SlapJack game 3 by the last turn. It was I who admitted to accidentally shuffling my Time Twister into my library after I cast it, instead of it staying in the graveyard. It was I who noticed this error. It was I who offered Christian to "take the win" on this error. He accepted. Team Meandeck's deck has yet to beat me, fair and square. I am happy with my loss. I treat it as a "Draw" in my own mind.
This is not by any means a slam on Team Meandeck. I respect them very much. I eagerly wait to play against their latest tech with my latest tech. I am, nonetheless, happy with my deck's performance against it.
The progress of SlapJack, the Rogue deck by LotusHead is being developed rather publicly for all to see. I WANT input/criticism of this deck. (which is, if you'll notice, different than the other builds.)
As for how my deck fares against "Good Decks", it is all out here in the Tourny Reports. Yes, SlapJack is cursed against Fish. I am working to fix that little problem in the bud. Against the other rogue deck, like the ZuronOrbSclerationCrucibleRog
ue deck: That deck either beat Team Meandeck's Trinistaks or drew to it. It's Crucible could deal with Trinistaks's Smokestack. Against other "Rogue decks" or "less than good decks", my deck will waste them! No prob. I eagerly await a chance to play against "Good decks" and then post the results here.
Round 5: Max's Academy deck lost it's steam because SlapJack fought it off. ComboCONTROL, with Trinket Beatstick Backup.
As a final note, as the User known as BloodyClownSuit is obviously a front for an actual user (due to it's only two posts being devoted to slamming this archetype), I take it that said user does not want his/her identity to be revealed. That is ok. If you need an extra TMD name to ask the really hard questions, then go right ahead. I will address just about all of them (except the why play Tog thing). I will not fault you in any way for hiding behind the Front.
But the comment about calling the other powered players around C&J's out (for a date) WAS actually rude. My comment was to spur them on to play in the Free T1 tourney with a DCI non-foil Basic Land and Arena Foil Serum Visions as prizes. They may not wish to waste their time on such small stakes as "Bragging Rights" and a few cards.
Zhalfirin and TheLegendOfMagic and others are still eager to strut their stuff and risk playing against SlapJack!
As a side note, I traded my spare Lion's Eye Diamond amd two Auriok Salvagers to a kid at the local shop, and he is building his UberBudget Mini-SlapJack deck! With Worldly Tutors and everything! Who knows, SlapJack could get some new scrub insight and innovation. Worldly Tutor? Living Wish? Green? Hmmmm.
Till next time, keep on slapping!
