Anyone up for a match?

@Gelzo: He ain't got any. By "refuses to use Preordain", I mean "he runs 4x Foresee".

I'm on 4748, Count. Hit me up.

My name is Cu Chulainn. Beside the raging sea I am left to moan. Sorrow I am, for I brought down my only son.

Don't you just hate it when you reach your win combo one turn after the other person does?

Also, musical interlude! Again!*

(We! Are! In! Con! Trol!)

Send your armies
There's no man or machine that can stop me, you'll soon see
I come for vengeance, for the first son of light
And I'm ready and I'm willing and I'm prepared to...

Send! Me! The best you've got!
Send! Me! Your strongest machine!
The! Fight! My brother fought!
Here! Now! Will end with me!

All you wounded
Those of you who can
Pick yourselves off the ground, hurry back
Tell your leader you’ll need more men!

Send! Me! The best you've got!
Send! Me! Your strongest machine!
The! Fight! My brother fought!
Here! Now! Will end with me!

Is! This! The best you’ve got?
Is! This! Your strongest machine?
Now! With! One powershot!
You’ll! See! WHAT VENGEANCE MEANS!

A shadow, it covers your face
But your eyes shine, just like mine
Step forward, step into the light
If you’re ready, you’re willing, you’re prepared to fight

So be it, send your armies
There’s no man or machine that can stop me, you’ll soon see
I come for vengeance, for the first son of light
And I’m ready and I’m willing and I’m prepared to fight

Send! Me! The best you've got!
Send! Me! Your strongest machine!
The! Fight! My brother fought!
Here! Now! Will end with me!

Is! This! The best you’ve got?
Is! This! Your strongest machine?
Now! With! One powershot!
You’ll! See! What vengeance means.

He ain't got any. By "refuses to use Preordain", I mean "he runs 4x Foresee".

Whaaaat.

Sure, Foresee's a good card to use when you don't care about tapping out and/or want to go pretty deep in the late game, but even then I can't think of many cases where it's a better card than Ponder/Preordain.

What about Tezzeret's Gambit? I dunno if there are many artifact decks that can't appreciate counters.

It's a casual deck. Tapping out isn't quite as immediately lethal.

Even then it's still preferable be able to cast a spell and leave mana open for a counter without waiting until turn 6 to do so.

He's at least running Mana Leak, right?

Yes.

I figure at present he has a right to make bad choices; he's a relatively new player and we all did dumb stuff when we were new at this. I'm eventually going to get him straightened out on the issue, though.

Edit: Does anyone fancy a match?

I don't really like playing Magic online unless it's through Magic Online.

Something about all those other virtual MtG clients just seems incomplete to me.

Maybe it's the bad interface? Or maybe it's the lousy server?

Probably the interface, I usually don't mind slow internet reception.

Anyway, I honestly don't care that much. I enjoy playing the game and this way, I get to play with Haven, Idler and Moony. And that's always cool sauce.

This was more or less my train of thought when Diamonnes played with me using a 90+ card deck.

Also, can you take him on a trip to the 10 cent bin and have him grab some Ponders?
