ok. want to roll again? i dont mind doing that, if you're ok with sideboarding.
Nope, no need to reroll. You go first.
I'm trying to perfect the best Ilya budget deck I can find. I have some sideboard in mine for this matchup, but sideboard ing on te site I play off is a pain, so I'm not gonna.

i can either concede or we can finish either later tonight or some other time, your choice. what do you think?
Ok. I will keep my game up indefinitely and not make you concede. In return, can we pretend I didn't forget to swig for four on my last turn? ;). I'll take this turn, after you exile both my guys.
Draw. Swamp. {spike jester}. Swing for three. Pass.
20/4
umm... i guess i can take the 7 total... but this will be a bit wierd because i would have done something else besides anger of the gods had you remembered to swing for 4... whatever.
Oh, never mind then. Teaches me a lesson to not forget. Not worth backtracking or screwing you over for. My play is the same though. So after my turn, unless. You kill the jester, you will be at 17
im back. we can backtrack and you can do that attack and ill respond the way i would have if you want. ok with me. your choice. also, i can't kill the jester. no mana open.
I'm away from my deck. Go ahead and take your turn after I swing and you are at 17. I'll take my turn tomorrow if that's ok
I'm away from my deck too actually... :) I guess we'll both have to finish tomorrow.
I'm back if you want to finish up our game.
i have no lands untapped, cant kill the jester. take 3, now my turn:
draw, pass 17/4. (very exciting! :) )
Draw. {rakdos shred freak}. Swing for five. Pass.
20/4
Draw, {temple of triumph} leave the top card there, go. 12/4
I think you are at 12 now.
Draw. Attack for five. Cast {fire fist striker}. Pass
20/4
Ugh. Have to leave again. Will concede again or leave my stuff. Your choice.
Unless you have multiple creature kill I have you next turn. Let's end this and start a new game later
I do have multiple removal spells. But we can start a new one later if you want, otherwise I think I finally have time to finish this one now. Thanks for being so willing to wait.
That's fine. I might not be available long but my game is still up. Five coming at you and then your turn.
sorry, whats attacking?
You are at 12. I draw. Attack with {spike jester} and {rakdos shred freak}. Then, baring shenanigans, I cast {fire fist striker} and pass. Scroll up and it's my most recent gameplay post.
right. sorry, got a little confused. ok, ill {shock"} the shred freak and {lightning strike} the spike jester. any changes to your post combat plays or should i take my turn?
Yeah. Even though it shows my hand some, instead of the fire fist I cast {gore house chain walker} unleashed. Pass.
20/4
draw, {boros reckoner}.
pass with temple of triumph untapped. 12/2
Draw. Swamp. {doom blade} the rekoner. Swing for three. If no shenanigans, cast {firefist striker} and pass.

That...could be a problem. I'll take my turn ASAP.
don't want to bug you... but can we finish this game soon please? i'd rather not leave it until tomorrow again....
Sorry. Back. I top deck a doom blade to take out the dragon. and swing for five. GG unless tricks.
Sorry for delay. You are good to play against. I'm done for the night but hit me up sometime.
no... :(
good game! if you hadn't topdecked that i somehow had another dragon in my hand and i just looked and saw ANOTHER one on top of my library. (I promise i did not change the order fo any cards in my deck at all and i shuffled well :p )
maybe play some casual some other time? non standard if you have, or EDH if i fix my deck.
Sounds awesome. Let's do edh. How competitive is yours? I don't have any massive turn four win decks, but some are a little stronger than others.
No time for edh right this second, actually. Probably not tonight at all. Also, my edh deck is absolutely terrible. It's my first edh deck, and I modified the commander 2013 bant deck to make it. Except, it's mostly 3 drops and got destroyed last time I played it in a wall game. I can try sometime later, just probably not today. If I can I'll let you know, but don't expect me to be able to play tonight, sry :(
well, I just fixed my edh up a bit to make it better late game. Still, it would probably be best to play aginst your worst edh deck, as I've only played edh once before ;)
How long do edh wall games usually last?
Different each time. I don't have time tonight though. Later this week.
Sure. Just post here or new topic, and hopefully I'll remember to check :)
Want to play some edh today! I may have to disappear for a while again to do something, so hopefully that will still work.
Ok. I will be slow as well. You go first since you are a little newer to the format.
I will be playing {jarad lick lord}. It can be a very strong deck but is usually slow and steady rather than a rush or lockdown.
Sure. I'll be playing {roon of the hidden realm}. Probably will lose this, but whatever :)
How are mulligans going to work?
Actually, doesn't matter. I don't need to mulligan.
{selesnya guildgate}
Pass 40/6
I don't need a muligan either. I have played only a few games with this deck..,never had a hand like this...should be interesting.
Draw. Forest. Pass.
40/7
Draw, plains, {selesnya signet}
Pass 40/5
Draw. {golgari rot farm} returning the forest to my hand. Pass discard {golgari grave troll}.
40/7
Draw, {faerie conclave}, tap the plains to activate the signet and play {swiftfoot boots}
Pass 40/4
Dredge the golgari grave troll. Four lands and two creatures into graveyard. Play forest. Play {wood elves} to search for {overgrown tomb} tapped. Pass.
40/6
draw, {evolving wilds}, tap 3 lands, use 1 to activate signet, and use all the mana for {heliod, god of the sun}.
pass 40/3
Crap. Ok.
Draw. Forest. Cast {golgari grave troll} who is 2/2. Attack for one with {wood elves}. Pass.
take 1. end of your turn sac the evolving wilds to get an island.
draw, tap island, the faerie conclave, and plains to activate selesnya singet to cast {jace, the mind sculptor} (please dont be too mad at me :p) +2 him, what's the top card of your library? hmm. how will this work? youre not supposed to see it when I look. whatever.
once you tell me what the top card was and i decide top or bottom, its your turn.
39/3
Its a {bone shredder}. Yeah, sucks that I know what it is. Irrelevant sometimes but I'll try to ignore that knowledge if its ever relevant.
thanks. ill send it to the bottom of your library. your turn.
also, you have 3 power in creatures on board, correct?
Currect. Draw. Swamp. Cast {Jarod lich lord} from comand zone. He is 4/4. Cast. Mulch. Put forest in hand. Put {anvil of bogardon} and { mortivore} and {death's presence} in graveyard. Attack jace with three power.
Pass
Oh, and I forgot to say, when I dredged before, one of the creatures has graveyard interactions. {necroplasm}. The other creature is {walker if the grove}.
sorry it took me a while to respond, i had some stuff to do.
jace goes to 2 loyalty. my turn.
draw, tap plains to activate {selesyna signet}, and tap island to play {derevi, empyrial tactician}
ETB triggers to untap the {selesnya singet}. then tap {selesnya guilgate} to equip {swiftfoot boots} to derevi and attack. since you have nothing with flying, derevi gets through and you take 2. i untap the guildgate because of derevi's ability, and post combat tap the guildgate to activate the signet again and tap {faerie conclave} for mana (so 3 floating) to cast {mirror entity}. then, i'll 0 jace.
pass 39/3
also, what's your hand size?
Have you cleaned up your game yet? Or can we still finish?
I'm still here if you are. Sorry for the long absence. I take the two commander damage and my hand size is currently 5
Instead of drawing I dredge 2 to draw and cast {necroplasm}. Two creatures to graveyard.
Play forest. Attack with my 2/2 {golgari grave troll} and my 6/6 {Jarad golgari lich lord}. Blocks?
Edit. I am attacking jace. Sorry for forgetting to state that.
Im here and I left my cards out, but I'm on vacation now for a few days... You might want to clean your stuff up and we can play again some other time. Otherwise I'll take my turn next time I get home to my cards. Sorry :(
Ehh. No problem. I have it online and can pull it back up anytime. Shoot me a line when you want to play. I'll probably be around.
Sure. That's smart, having it online. Is there some specific website you use that does that? I think the ones I've seen won't save a game when you log off.
I use tappedout. If I close the Internet it loses my game, but it lets me draw specific cards and then shuffle, so I can take a screenshot and reproduce the board/hand/graveyard.
Cool! That's smart, maybe I'll try that sometime. I would do that now except I don't have my decklist :(
I'm back, want to finish the game? Also,m0 commander damage, derevi is not my commander! ;)
ok, so jace dies :( is it my turn?
Not yet. Jace dies. Then I cast {eternal witness} targeting {death's presence} and I cast {necroplasm}. Then pass.
38/4
If you can list you board, is appreciate it as a reminder.
Mine is {golgari rot farm} and five other lands
{necroplasm}
{eternal witness}
{wood elves}
2/2 {golgari grave troll} tapped
6/6 {jarad golgari lich lord} tapped.
yikes! scary. my board before this turn:
{mirror entity}
{heliod, god of the sun}
{derevi, empyrial tactician} with {swiftfoot boots} equiped
{selesnya singet}
{faerie conclave}, plains, island, {selesnya guildgate}
3 cards in hand.
my turn: {rupture spire}, tap the guildgate to pay 1.
tap the plains to activate the singet, then tap island too to cast {rhox war monk}.
pass 39/2
Almost forgot. On the end of my last turn, {necroplasm}kills all zero mana creatures.
Untap. Add a +1/+1 counter to necroplasm. Draw. Forest. Cast {death's presence}. Cast {Sakura tribe elder}. Attack with {jarad golgari lich lord} and {golgari grave troll}. Blocks?
i'll block the grave troll with my rhox war monk. unless you have tricks i will gain 3 life
I sacrifice the {Sakura tribe elder} to fetch a land. {Death's presence} activates and I put a second +1/+1 counter on necroplasm. The extra creature in my graveyard makes my commander 7/7.
You gain three. Take seven (commander) and my grave troll dies. Pass.
38/2
End of turn necroplasm destroys all creatures with casting cost of two.
Oh, and when the grave troll dies I put the two +1/+1 counters from death's presence onto the eternal witness.
hallowed fountain untapped taking 2. activate faerie conclave and attack with that, mirror entity, the war monk, and derevi. blocks?
Hmm. Well I block the mirror entity with the 1/1 wood elves and block the rhox with the 4/3 eternal witness. I have no flyers or untapped mana so that's it for me.
ok, before damage tap 4 to use mirror entity to make my creatures 4/4.
gain 4, you take 8, and untap the rupture spire and singet using derevi's ability from my flyers.
pass 39 (is that correct?) /2
I take eight. You gain four. The rhox dies. My 4/3 and 1/1 both die. I put those five +1/+1 counters on jarad. Pass?
yes. jarad is getting way too big... scary.
Heh.
Untap. Add a +1/+1 counter to {necroplasm} Dredge the golgari grave troll for my draw. Mill six. (Four are creatures...no special graveyard shenanigans). Cast {golgari grave troll} who comes in with 11 +1/+1 counters. Attack with jarad, who is now 18/18 from the counters and from milling more creatures. Blocks?
block with mirror entity, as long as you will be destorying my 3-drops at the end of the turn. actually, if you're doing that, double block with derevi too. if i'm wrong and they won't be destroyed at the end of turn i will block with only mirror entity.
Necroplasm will destroy all three mana casting cost creatures, baring shenanigans. Warning, I have four mana open and I love shenanigans. ;). But no promises either way.
just block with the mirror entity ;)
Well, i want to try something so lets do shenanigans anyway. ;).
So blocks happen fine and your guy dies.
Before end of turn I pay three to activate {jarad golgari lick lord} sacrificing my 11/11 grave troll. You lose 11 life. Put those 11 counters on the necroplasm.
At end of turn destroy all creatures with casting cost equal to 14 ;)
Pass.
30/2
draw, forest, tap out for {colossus of akros}. attack with derevi. pass 28/1
untap the faerie conclave if derevi gets through.
I take the two.
Untap. Add a counter to the ooze. Dredge the grave troll rather than draw. Three creatures, one of which is {brawn} giving my guys trample.
Cast {golgari grave troll} as 14/14.
Attack with 21/21 commander trampler and 16/16 ooze trampler.
concede. sry, but i dont think i can win this and i have some other stuff i need to do. good game! +1
Same here, GG. +1. If you want to play again, against this or a different deck, just post the format and your first turn. :)
sure. maybe later. :)
