Smennen V Soly deathmatch, it's happening

[T00L]

So how big of a blow out would it be if it really was just Smennen the whole time?

[casanova99]

It was Sephiroth; he always makes the same comment when someone plays Dark Confidant.

[AmbivalentDuck]

Does anyone know anything more productive for finding his IP than netstat?  I only got the MWS server's IP

[casanova99]

I don't think there's any good to get the IP via MWS unless you get someone to connect directly to your IP by using the "Wait" feature of MWSPlay.

[Juggernaut GO]

had this gem tonight playing tps who completely understood the rules of the stack until game 3 when he was about to lose.

I have a sphere in play and he plays pearl and then taps it for mana crypt with a tolarian in play, I have a gorilla shaman with 1 mana available and kill his pearl in response to the mana crypt so he can only tap tolarian for 1 blue.  I let it go because he was blown out of the water anyway.  Then he just decided to become a douchebag.

<trav> wait
<trav> ill respond to mana crypt
trav taps Gemstone Mine
Gemstone Mine now has 2 (-1) counters.
skeetson puts Mox Pearl to Hand from Play
skeetson puts Mana Crypt to Hand from Play

[Diakonov]

lol, that is a great log.

[honestabe]

Whoever "Ancient" is, they're a pain in the ass.

I'm playing Remora Tezz, he's playing Noble fish.  He should be crushing me, but game 1, I manage to stall long enough to resolve a monster will, which results in me tinkering for sphinx.  He tells me that he beats any other tinker target.  I explain to him that is the very reason i play sphinx.  He then responds "Nice gloating, keep it up, it'l make you better"  He then explains that I actually didnt do anything to win the game, and that I only won because he punted.  I ask how he punted, and he reveals a force in his hand, and tells me the trygon he played before i willed wasn't necissary and would be better as a card to allow him to play force.  I then reveal the 3 forces and misdirection in my hand.  He responds "Dude, I dont give a fuck.  I lost that game to myself, not you".  So, on we go to game 2

Game 2, he forces through a turn 1 aether vial (which means he isnt playing null rod ROFL).  I turn around, play an EE at 1 and blow it up.  He draws and passes, and I realize he hasnt played a land yet.  So i drop a Jace and start fatesealing the lands away from the top of his deck.  then i get this shit  "Hilarious.  fatesealing.  when youre not winning.  Keep it up"  He then tells me that fatesealing doesnt change the card quality of his deck at all.  He then says that statistically, fatesealing makes no differnce, and insults my "Lack of math skills"  Around 9 counters or so, he finally gets a land and starts talking shit about how he still got a land.  He then drops a pridemage.  i force, and he forces back, thanking me for the FoW i let him have via jace.  on my turn, I untap, put jace to 11, and then repeal his lone cat.  GG idiot

Seriously.  If you're gonna talk shit, at least be good.

[Cyberpunker]

What? No 4x Black Lotus 4x Channel decks?

[honestabe]

What? No 4x Black Lotus 4x Channel decks?

I once played a guy who went turn 1 lotus---channel---fireball both games of the match.  I asked to see his deck, and it was 20 Lotus, 20 Channel, 20 Fireball

[Stormanimagus]

He would have needed double lotus in those openers to pull off the combo as he needs R and G to do it. That should have tipped you off to the 20/20/20 config right away LOL.

-Storm

[AmbivalentDuck]

I'm always amazed when the Channel-Ball player actually runs Fireball.  I mean, if you're going to cheat, why not go with Banefire?

[Bibendum]

Yea i got the 20/20/20 and asked him how he was paying for fireball off the channel. Promptly quit

[Bibendum]

I just spent 10 minutes telling someone that Leyline of Sanctity stops them from Mind Twisting me, He said " NO it says control, and this spell is not a permanent"

 

[Bibendum]

Not that its someone to avoid but, Rich i think i was playing you last night for a decent amount of time, Had some awesome games. Cheers!

Sounds fine to me.  If you lead with Thorn and that is countered then you can drop Chalice@0.  You opponent can then play Island, go.
Now you might want to drop Chalice@1, but any 1 cc spell outside of Vamp he will have already played so he might Pierce Chalice@1 or Mystical, Brainstorm, Recall.

Anyway, I think leading with Chalice@0 is the correct play.

Anyway, I think leading with Chalice@0 is the correct play.

If you lead with thorn, you cut them off casting force for the rest of your turn, The situations where then do not want to counter thorn is when they have multiple moxen so then can power through the thorn. Because of this, the chalice 0 after thorn is back breaking. Leading with chalice@0 then playing thorn will give them more information on how to evaluate their hand.

However, even if the play is leading with chalice@0 exposing the shop before hand is still wrong.

[Bibendum]

My worry was indeed loosing the chalice to a peirce or fow. If chalice on 0 gets countered, he is still under a thorn and less likely to have his moxen do nothing, or if he lets the chalice stick and counter the thorn, granted he will be able to play something off one. Im surprised you would call that a bad play without having any backround on what else is in my hand or what he is on. If I shut off his moxen and have a strip or wasteland in hand for his land that he would drop how is that worse then letting him play a land possibly a few moxen and who knows what else? Your right I probably should have went thorn then chailce on 0 since if thorn resolves there is no way for him to resolve a force but to claim not putting chalice on one is terrible without knowing any of the other facts is a bit premature.

I love when people who are as correct as a homosexual black man at a Klan rally talk about making plays.   You definitely chalice @ 0 and then play Thorn.  if he counters your thorn, you STILL have chalice @ 1 next turn.  If he fights for the chalice, you have another one to stick.

my favorite play against someone who just plays a thorn/sphere, is to go "land(tap) Mana Crpyt (tap) mox, Lotus, go".

I am not sure you understand the play I said to make, which was shop>thorn>use the  floating play chalice on 0

[Bibendum]

Thought this was a fun one while playing shops someone named Colorless with iona and then after I corrected them i got:

<DEXTRO> your deck is tooooo bored you sucks

Why, though, when he had 2 in hand? I'd love to get both Chalice and Sphere to land while my opponent is down a blue card and Force of Will!
