NCSU Smash Stacks - Round 9 @DUKE 10/30

[Stockfield]

You should Keith magic is mad fun.

 

[Gardevior]

You should come to the tourney this weekend with me keith. I'll give you my stuff if you pay for some of my entry fee. You know I always place in those.

 

[Ledger_Damayn]

Unless there are new, broken ways to generate mana, paying 15 mana for anything that doesn't win you the game right then and there is bad.

Or paying 10-11 mana for something that can be Crib Swap'd away, lol.

I don't like the level up system either, just because if there is any equivalent of Astral Shift in the metagame, they are trash, but if a popular one isn't in use, then that looks pretty fun.

 

[Criosphinx]

Those cards are all nice and stuff, but they'll lose to a counterspell. I mean, all that power means nothing if it doesn't come out.

In addition, forcing into the graveyard forces the opponent to shuffle their deck. This can be benificial because of cards like archive trap.

 

[null55]

lmao DJ is that game legit??

 

[Gardevior]

Unless there are new, broken ways to generate mana, paying 15 mana for anything that doesn't win you the game right then and there is bad.

That card actually does win you the game right then. Did you not read it?

Besides, they'll definitely be finishers for the upcoming control decks. Those things are stupid, even if you only cast them and they get countered (four cards or an extra turn. lawl)

Those cards are all nice and stuff, but they'll lose to a counterspell. I mean, all that power means nothing if it doesn't come out.

Lawl you haven't played in years. They got rid of all the good counterspells; there are no viable control or combo decks any more.
I wish I was trolling, too.

 

[DJRome]

it's aight. but it costs too much $. btw, u guys should buy my cards from me. $2000 for 20000+

 

[null55]

roooooooofl

 

[_Kadaj_]

bleh magic talk

 

[Jon?]

Magic talk! *thumbs up

Kadaj, we should do friendlies. I need some good Marth practice since PP quit Brawl. Don't get mad when I press B button repeatedly. I made Lord Karn quit this game because of it.

 

[_Kadaj_]

Sure man that'd be great I'd like the falco exp.

and lol with falco?

You can just walk and ps all of them XD

and karn uses diddy now?

 

[OmniOstrich]

karn plays wario and mk mostly, but tbh he just doesn't play unless he thinks he can win teams with someone.

 

[TheLastCacely]

KADAJ U WERE LOOKING AT THE BRAWL Minus prs. i dont know why they made one, that was one of the dumbest things smith has done.

edit: lol mad angry in the first part of my sentence

 

[OmniOstrich]

^wishes he was ranked

 

[Jon?]

^wishes he didn't ride his bike 20 miles to be picked up to go to a tournament with less than 15 people.

 

[TheLastCacely]

lol ime and ncsu are better than everyone up there, my bowser is dumb. its just something made by lame smith. when was there an actual tourney for brawl minus??
@jon: lololololololol.

 

[Stockfield]

I've never played brawl minus but it looks bad so no big loss.

 

[_Kadaj_]

oo ok villain lol

 

[TheLastCacely]

u live in NC now, just call me Keith

Villain is for the scrubs that worship me, or for oos that only know me by rep(lol yea right). Keith is for the cool people.

 

[_Kadaj_]

lol sure thing

 

[Ledger_Damayn]

@Gardevior: You know more about the current metagame than I do, but if you're saying that combo and control are dead, then how can also suggest that these cards be good at all >_>

I misread the first one. I didn't see the extra turn thing. I would use that in a control deck lol, if there were such thing as one that could survive for that long vs. aggro.

 

[Gardevior]

There's a block called Alara that has vastly overpowered creatures and speeds the game up sooo much so that there are no other viable strategies.

Rise of the Eldrazi has a defender theme, some good counterspells, and creatures that aren't absurdly broken. When Shards rotates out, other archetypes of decks become viable.

I mean, there's control decks now. But their decklists are
26x Black/Blue/Red land combo including dual lands
4x Win condition
30x Removal spells.

And they still don't have good matchups against the creature decks like Jund or Boss Naya.

 

[OmniOstrich]

im gonna hop on foxy's account and update the OP with details for this weekend

 

[Jon?]

Do we even have a venue?

 

[Black Mantis]

Do we even have a venue?

Is Mekos your partner?

 

[Jon?]

Probably, will you Gboro be able to come down this weekend?

 

[Black Mantis]

Probably, will you Gboro be able to come down this weekend?

Yeah we're coming.

 

[Foxy]

Announcement:
We will be using MLG ruleset from now on. It is quite different from the rules we have had in the past but since there is going to be MLG Raleigh later this year we want to give our top players the best possible chance to rep NC. This weekend will be a test, depending on how it goes there is a small chance the rules will be changed back but odds are it will be as is.

-Omni (with foxy's approval)

EDIT: op updated, go ahead and tell me what i screwed up

 

[stingers]

i approve oolmonke

 

[Black Mantis]

MLG rules?

(wow)

 

[Jon?]

Grand Finals will be best out of 11.

 

[stingers]

so wiimotes are banned huh?

 

[Gardevior]

No Team Attack Guys.

 

[Jon?]

Make sure you turn off your smashballs!

 

[Gardevior]

Also stage striking is weird. First person strikes three, next strikes four, and then the first person decides what stage.

 

[Black Mantis]

Draft crews??

 

[Jon?]

Nah, no time for crews. I don't want this to drag on too late.

 

[_Kadaj_]

team attack is on lol

 

[TheLastCacely]

lee, i dont know where ur hearing this from bro, but team attack is on

 

[OmniOstrich]

**** wii motes
