Uh, I do want a Koth I guess, even if it's not German.

What do you need/what are you looking for?

If you're looking to make your poison deck better, do you have enough Hand of the Praetors and Putrefax? I could go fishing for some of those for you, plus whatever else.

MTG Player Rewards being discontinued

I can guess a number of reasons why they might be doing this, but oh the whining will be endless.

Yeah, I dunno. It's probably expensive to administrate and people complained about card choices anyway (in the last year, they started issuing special promo foil commons, instead of the old system of special promo foil rares). I guess retailers had complained about free singles and players then complained about not getting rares anymore, so there was too much bitching (plus those admin costs with no direct return) and they shitcanned it.

Bad PR, but it'll blow over I guess.

So, I want to take my life gain deck out of standard.  I've already added some Soul Sisters, putting me at 8, with Ajani's Pridemates and such.  What else can I do with it?  I've got Serra Ascendants and Leylines of Vitality.  I have a pair of Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant from Kamigawa block, the white essence guy who turns in to an enchantment that prevents damage to creatures when you hit 30 life.  Baneslayers...fuck it.  Here's the deck list as I have it right now.

Land
7x Forest
8x Plains
4x Sunpetal Grove
1x Razorverge Thicket (W/G scars dual land)

Creatures
Soul Warden x4
Soul's Attendant x4
Serra Ascendant x4 (1/1 Lifelink that becomes a 6/6 flying lifelinker at 30 life)
Ajani's Pridemate x4
Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant x4 (2/2 Legend that becomes an enchantment that prevents damage to my creatures at 30 life)
Wurmcoil Engine x1 (Sort of a vestigal leftover from the Standard version of this deck)
Baneslayer Angel x3
Birds of Paradise x3

Enchantments
Armadillo Cloak x2 (3 mana for a +2/+2/Lifelink/Trample)
Leyline of Vitality x4
True Conviction x2 (My creatures get doublestrike and lifelink)

Ajani Goldmane x2

Loxodon Warhammer x2

I think that's everything.

Huh. I just realized something. When I went to FNM last week with Toxic Love, not one of my opponents hectored me because I lost.  The worst I got was a (shared) laugh at the fact that my friend had defeated me with his Contagion Engine. It had been my experience, up until then, that tournament players were cruel bullies, but these guys were genuinely mellow and friendly people.

Some of them could use a few hours on the treadmill and a blast of deodorant, but you get the idea.

Yeah, even though Wizards is discontinuing their rewards program, I will continue to go to FNM just because of the crowd.

Highlights of my FNM night.
I placed second in FNM got a pack as a consolation prize. I pulled a foil Wallet Sculptor.
Opponent plays a Bala Ged Thief, we both have a mimic vat out. He has no cards in hand. I lightning bolt the Bala and since it was my turn I have priority meaning my Mimic Vat gets the sweet Bala. Opponents face is shocked when the judge agrees because of the priority system. He had no instants save for a doomblade so it was game over.*

*Clarification: At the end of the draw step I tap my mimic vat to play a Bala which makes him discard a card before he gets the chance to play it.

Last night, I got steamrolled.  Terribly.  With my favorite R/G land ramp deck.

This sucked.

I did pull a few good eldrazi levelers, like Student of Warfare and Kargan Dragonlord.

$160-170 Consolation prize. Not bad I guess.

What kind of place gives only one pack for second though? Ugh.

What idiot is playing a deck with Bala Ged Theif? Don't tell me you have some dude with a pet ally deck.

I'm not really up on Standard but for the first deck, maybe cut at least one Chandra for another CheatyJace or another Inferno Titan? Because really.... Chandra? I don't she's above a one-of in the most fringy of decks.

The second deck is trying to do too many different things without enough tutors or toolbox effects to justify it. Either dump the Myr stuff for more Eldrazi boogerhead stuff or or dump the Eldrazi for more Myr stuff.
