Standard Chat Thread

[Dudecore]

Is anyone already more tired of {Thragtusk} then you were of {Delver of Secrets}? I feel like while {Delver of Secrets} was annoying, he wasn't indestructible, he has a conditional flip and the control package built around him was more annoying.

{Thragtusk} is now in every single deck that can play him, his only drawback is his mana cost (how come they didn't learn from the Titans?) and since they've effectively marginalized {Delver of Secrets}, another year+ of dealing with Thraggy....ugh

[Mikefrompluto]

Year+? Wont he rotate out when the next block drops next October?

[Dudecore]

Well sure, until next October...he'll be annoying till then.

[Mikefrompluto]

Is it bad that i want to put him in my defender deck? I wish i wouldve held onto the one i had instead of trading it when it was an $8 card.

Would people prefer we:
A) Lose the standard chat area in favor of a "FNM Results" thread?
B) Keep the Standard Chat Thread and attempt to push it more?
C) Do both.

[Hunteroffire9]

D do both I like this thread and I would like a fnm thread

I'm planning on going to my first FNM this Friday, so I don't know the meta at all.  I'm going to try my Rakdos Aggro deck, but I don't have a sideboard   Any staple {R}{B} cards to chuck into the SB?

{slaughter games}?

[Seth5000]

I say do both
Is there any way a RB Argo can get rid of or beat a counter deck my RB deck always loses to them

[Dudecore]

Beating control is about damaging them early and getting more and more creatures out. {B}{R} Zombies is a good deck.

Or by playing stuff they can't stop/react to.
Eg. Creature abilities. Also scavenge is great for this too.
Oh yeah, and slaughter games is great as it can't be countered. Pick their most annoying counter
