Ixidor has some weird fetishes, apparently.

You're an ad hominem attack!

@Blackmoon: Oh, that's not Finkel's BoW list. That is one of Finkel's BoW lists.

As for the sideboard, keep in mind the Cunning Wishes in the maindeck. A lot of the board cards are likely more for that.

I guess it is.

[up]Um, I think you're answering to the wrong person tongue

In other news: I really like Yeva's deck from Dot P 2013. It's green for Johnnies, and much more fun to play than Garruk's.

Whoo, beat the campaign in Duels.

Bolas ain't so tough.

I guess it is.

Is Dotp 13 Bolas still playing with Gatekeeper of the Abyss/Damnation/Kamigawa Dragons like his '12 counterpart? Because I loved playing against that deck. waii

I don't think so. I saw lots of Moxes, Compulsive Research, Alara Reborn landcycling guys, and Cruel Ultimatum.

I guess it is.

Whoa, the only one who used Moxen in Dotp 12 was Karn, and even he only used Sapphires. surprised

I'm pretty sure Bolas is the only one in 2013.

He might only have one for each of his colours; at least, I never saw more than one of each.

I guess it is.

Nyk, did you beat him in the normal campaign or the Revenge one? Because I want to know if he's even more of a nightmare in that last one.

I think "this set is just pandering to Commander players" has become the new "this is the worst set since Homelands!" on MTGS.

You're an ad hominem attack!

Best combo in Yeva's Dot P deck: Roaring Primadox + Eternal Witness + Natural Order = fetch every creature in your deck, recur any card from your graveyard.

Her deck is basically a giant middle finger to anyone who thinks green is nothing but linear ramp 'n stomp. I love it.

@Lovecrafter: The normal one. I'm actually kinda excited to start Revenge.

I guess it is.

[up]You're in for a treat. Each opponent uses a fully unlocked and optimized deck. Thought Ajani was annoying before? Watch him cast STP's left and right and pull a Felidar Sovereign out of nowhere grin

Although Liliana's probably the most powerful I've faced so far. I only won because of a turn 4 Terastodon, wiping away her lands. Every time she got more than 5 mana, she quickly stabilized and turned the tide.

The normal campaign was pretty easy even on Planeswalker difficulty, hence why I'm happy to play the harder version.

Also motherfucker this challenge with the Puresteel Paladin is just impossible.

I guess it is.

Least I'm not the only one. But yeah, I've been stuck on it for days. Most other challenges I got fairly quickly and the other ones that stumped me at first didn't take this long to figure out.

I guess it is.

Ethereal Whiskergill is such a stupid card. It can fly, but somehow not actually get over to your opponent to hit them unless they have an island for it to swim through.

I really wish they'd just stop with the "herp derp your opponent needs islands for this to attack" thing. We don't need any more terrible serpents that no-one will ever play.

You're an ad hominem attack!

I can confirm that Revenge!Bolas has more than one of each Mox. Let the swearing commence.

My opening turn: Forest, Taunting Elf.
His opening turn: Mountain, Mox Sapphire, Mox Sapphire, Compulsive Research (discarding Island), Mox Jet.

Finished him. Flawless victory. Fatality.

Well, except for the part where I did the opening hand equivalent of Save Scumming, so I could get a T4 Terastodon out. And even then, it took me 3 tries just to beat him. Those Moxes just give him that much stabilizing potential.
