MRD Tournament - Game commentary/Discussion

[Cognis]

Maybe I missed some other great card like Solemn Simulacurum and I don't even know it, after my next three picks I'd like to hear what you thought I'd take. I pretty much made a list of the cards I wanted and I pick those that I think others would want and could pick before me.

[aww1979]

Two of them I'd have taken in your place because I expect grinnin to take them right now, since you didn't. The other three or so I am expecting you to take, probably nobody else wants, because they can't cast them with their current colours.

[grinnin]

I'm curious aww: what are the ones you think i'll take?

I'll pick:

Fulminator Mage
Ashenmoor Gouger
Vampire Nighthawk
Paralyze
Shriekmaw
Nekrataal

[juzamjedi]

I was pretty sure someone would take Shriekmaw, but I didn't care too much about him. My deck doesn't like to tap out for 5 mana on its own turn

[Cognis]

I though about Paralyze but I'll take:

Yavimaya Elder
Oracle of Mul Daya
Harmonize

I'm pretty much taking what others might want and I need whilst leaving cards with RBG casting costs to the end because I don't think anyone will take them since I already took duals and fetches for them.

[aww1979]

Grinnin took one of the ones I would've taken in Cognis's place, Ashenmoor Gouger. The other one neither one of them took, which really surprised me. I'm almost tempted to take it myself, though I don't have much use of it :p Other than that one, grinnin didn't take anything I thought he would, and neither did cognis on his next round. However, except for that one that people have left, the ones I thought grinnin would take are ones he is reasonably safe leaving for later.

I have no solid predictions for monopoman because I'm not entirely sure what he's doing yet :p At first I thought he wanted to play 'the deck', then I thought he wanted to make an eldrazi deck, and now I just don't know! The few I can think of that he is likely to take nobody else will want, so he might not even pick those next.

[monopoman]

I will select...

Exalted Angel
Sun Titan
Wall of Omens

Lol @ Aww my deck is a bit janky but it has good cards

[grinnin]

OK I gotta know, aww. Were you thinking of the Hag?

You're killing me here, especially because I know you're a better player than I am

[aww1979]

The one I was thinking for both of you was Hypnotic Specter. There are a few others I think would be good for either of you, but not both, and few to none that there will be any competition over. I'd take it myself, but I don't really want to Oath into that :p

[Nicdanger]

aaaaaaannnnnndddddddd . . . . . .

Tolsimir Wolfblood
Emeria Angel
Imperious Perfect

[grinnin]

yeah i'm hoping no one gets it, it doesn't seem to work with anyone else's deck...? But now that we're discussing it I might have screwed myself over.

maybe I can convince you to now expunge the creature name from the comment...

Can someone give me a list of U/W duals that are left? I am without manalink for the weekend. Thanks.

Celestial Colonnade
Glacial Fortress
Azorious Chancery

Double check the Spreadsheet, I know Flooded Strand, Tundra, and Hallowed Fountain are gone but I think the other 3 are left.

[jatill]

Did I ever add Sejeri Refuge? (the gain 1 life land)

[grinnin]

I'm not near manalink either but I'm fairly certain it wasn't added.
