I have a compulsive need to build decks. BLUE decks.
And yes, I actually built all of these decks. I carry them around with me in a duffel bag.
I'm on Magic Online as IdealistCynic.
Also, the top 10 best counterspell flavor texts:
10- "With one commanding word, the spell was put down and a fine collected for its casting." -Overrule, Dissension
9- "It was probably a lousy spell in the first place" -Counterspell, Tempest
8- "Your attack has been rendered harmless. It is, however, quite pretty." -Counterspell, Mercadian Masques
7- "Someday, someone will best me. But it won't be today, and it won't be you." -Last Word, Darksteel
6- "Well, at least all of that arm-waving and arcane babbling you did was impressive." -Remand, Ravnica
5- "The first time was amusing, but now you're getting tiresome." -Laquatus' Disdain, Judgment
4- "There is nothing you can do that I cannot simply deny." -Dismiss, Tempest
3- "Amateurish. Nearsighted. A waste of my time and everyone else's." -Punish Ignorance, Shards of Alara
2- "The pyromancer summoned up her mightiest onslaught of fire and rage. Jace feigned interest." -Counterspell, Jace v. Chandra
1- None. It just says "Counter target spell." .....it's beautiful. -Counterspell, 4th Ed.

Yo, listen up, here's the story/About some little guys that live in a blue world
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall....
People DO hate being controlled, and I think that's why Faeries had such an outrage against it despite the fact that it was not as popular as a metagame percentage (but yes, still in more top 8s, perhaps because it took a particular kind of player to run it properly?)
But then, perhaps we should be fair to Jund- part of its power is its enormous ease of use. You just keep casting things and then your opponents die. How easy a deck is to use is perhaps part of what makes it a good deck; even a superior deck that took lots of practice and constant concentration to use might not be as popular, or even a better idea for an intelligent player to run over the course of a long tournament.

You know what's weird about Jund? It was always WAY bigger than Faeries ever was, in terms of what percentage of the metagame it was. At some tournaments more or less HALF the decks were Jund! But people tended to bitch way more about Faeries, to the point where Wizards put in specific Fae killers like 2010-core-set/great-stable-stag.jpgGreat Sable Stag and conflux/volcanic-fallout.jpgVolcanic Fallout. I think people just hate super-successful BLUE standard decks in particular.

Man, I will never take a rules correction as an insult. I encourage any and all people to whoop my careless ass re: rules.
KrazyCaley on Darkness1835 1 day, 2 hours ago
Fair enough. Need to read my rules more carefully. MTGbowling is absolutely right.
KrazyCaley on Darkness1835 1 day, 2 hours ago
To answer a question, YES you can have negative life, but NO that would not help out death's shadow.
For instance, if I have a Plat. Angel out and 1 life, and my opponent tenth-edition/blaze.jpgBlazes me for eight, I would go to -7 life. I would have to eighth-edition/healing-salve.jpgHealing Salve three times to get back to positive life.
However, when a card needs to know your life total (or any other number like a creature's power) when the number is less than zero, it counts as zero- CR 107.1b.
So if you had -7 life, your worldwake/deaths-shadow.jpgDeath's Shadow would just be a 13/13.

Fair enough. Not exactly a cheap card, Inky.

Two suggestions-
1- Get rid of zendikar/pitfall-trap.jpgPitfall Trap and replace it with conflux/path-to-exile.jpgPath to Exile. zendikar/pitfall-trap.jpgPitfall Trap is just a pain in the neck card to cast. Even zendikar/arrow-volley-trap.jpgArrow Volley Trap will generally be more useful even though it's harder to cast.
2- With all this landfall, perhaps consider adding in a worldwake/ruin-ghost.jpgRuin Ghost. Maybe it can replace a copy each of your bigger creatures and spells so that you run a little lower on the mana curve.

hey KC is it possible to go into negative life? Like you take MORE than lethal damage, but have 2010-core-set/platinum-angel.jpgPlatinum Angel out?
and if so, then if are sitting say -7 life, when you play worldwake/deaths-shadow.jpgDeath's Shadow, does your creature get +7+7?

For the current challenge going over my submission Land, Land and more land i was wondering if the use of creeping tar pit and celestial colonnade would be in breach of the colour limits?
SirNips on KrazyCaley 2 days, 20 hours ago

Darkness1835 on KrazyCaley 1 week, 4 days ago
so since the creature would die after i declared it as an attacker it is removed from combat and deals no damage? is that right?
