Sac my {vengevine} in response to the {viscera seer}. Triggers {bridge from below}. Scry 1 and get a zombie token. Resolves?

Sorry for being neurotic, but I want to check before a scrt or mill or draw, since I can't unsee what those are.

Yup. My biggest issues are with figuring out how to SB

Also drawing no lands, then milling 6 lands :P

Not to give away secrets while you mulligan, but mil to 6 then keep. I'm on the play.

That was rough game 1. My deck can play through a main deck ooze, but ooze stops me from being degenerate, and to come from that far behind I need degenerate. ;)

Dang it!!!!  I had the izzet charm and usually would hold for that but when you didn't play it turn 2, I assumed you didn't have it.
Title: Re: Modern Wall Game
Post by: Ieatfood7 on September 08, 2015, 10:22:56 PM
Draw. Wooded foothills. {thoughtseize} (a little late buddy).

What you got?

(Sorry if I sound sore....I'm disappointed in myself both games, and this is a hard deck to do in play by post.

I figured you had a counter with mana left open so I played smiter to be more Aggro lol plus none of your mean things were in the grave yet.

Okay for the tseize I have

2x {Lightning Bolt}
1x {Path to exile}
1x {Qasali Pridemage}
1x {Loxodon Smiter}<-- pick him :)

Post by: Ieatfood7 on September 08, 2015, 10:32:10 PM
Well my one card in hand is a land. I peek at top cards of library.

I reveal {skab ruinator} and {gnaw to the bone}

I flip my side of the table. It's a segmented table so yours are not disturbed, as that would be rude. Then I choose the smiter and concede.

Ok, so apparently I did need to hold up counter. I was expecting blood moon since you started with basic/bird, and hadn't dropped RIP turn 2. From what I knew at the time, did I choose right and just guess wrong? Should I have bolted the bird?

My SB for you was 2 thoughtsieze, 3 more abrupt decays, and one murderous cut.

What do you think on my play choice, side boarded cards, or other different cards I should bring in against you?

Sideboard plan was strong lots of removal works for me, only exception is I wouldn't have brought in Thoughtseize because my deck plays 4 smiters and a Wilt-leaf liege. Your abrupt decays can take care of my rest in peace. Had you bolted my bird you would've won. I just peeked at the top 3 cards of my library and I had a forest, forest, bolt; In that order. I would've been completely mana screwed to say the least. Can't do much in a tri-color deck with only forests on the board. Lol

For you my sideboard game was
-4 {Knight of the Relinquary}
+2 {rest in Peace}
+2 {Magus of the moon}

Post by: Ieatfood7 on September 08, 2015, 10:37:59 PM
Heh. Would you say for your deck bolting the bird is usually the right play for your opponent?
Title: Re: Modern Wall Game
Post by: Ieatfood7 on September 08, 2015, 10:40:52 PM
Apparently bolting the bird or holding up counter magic both would have been ok. Three choices, so of course I choose the wrong one. :/
Title: Re: Modern Wall Game
Post by: Codester1991 on September 08, 2015, 10:41:58 PM
Well it definitely slows me down. I swarm fast with creatures(I'll bump my list in the modern section) if the bird doesn't get bolted I usually get a turn 3 {Collected Company} into 2 {Woolly Thoctars} and that usually frightens players. So bolting the bird is most of the time the safest bet. Lol

Fair. Hard to commit to when I probably need the charm as a mana leak, but better a bolt than a looting :P

I'm happy to play them again, tomorrow maybe?

Bolting a mana dork is often the correct play.
Your opponent kept a hand planning on using that dork. Depriving them of that is usually a good idea.

I agree, but when my bolt is also a counterspell and I want to play around Rest in Peace, it's a harder question.

I made the mistake here of thinking I was the beatdown. Bolting or countering would have won the game maybe. Instead I went full steam ahead with looting and lost
