Deja vu?


By Bob (Bob) on Sunday, July 01, 2001 - 06:44 pm:

yeah, you can say that again


By Cividel, the Mime (Cividel) on Sunday, July 01, 2001 - 09:19 pm:

Quick Question : Why did the Sarco Token die? It has a converted Mana cost of 0. Tossing a token on the keg would have made it unable to kill the token. Did you play another keg in there somewhere?


By Deranged Parrot (Parrot) on Sunday, July 01, 2001 - 09:44 pm:

Yes. I probably gutted it by accident.


By The Maxx,. the Guru of Foolishness (Maxx) on Monday, July 02, 2001 - 04:37 pm:

I have just one question. How in the hell did you beat him AGAIN? I mean this is like the worst possible matchup for BBS besides the mirror, and he goes 2-0. Cripes!

The Maxx


By tedv on Monday, July 02, 2001 - 04:56 pm:

Here's why he won-- better N-for-1 effects. He has Fact or Fiction, Ancestral Recall, Powder Keg. Compare this to Hymn to Tourach, Hypnotic Specter, Mindtwist, and Necropotence. Force of Will and Misdirection also stop otherwise dangerous N-for-1 effects you might receive (eg. Hymn). The only problem is that Parrot's N-for-1 effects costs more mana-- Fact or Fiction costs 1 more than Specter, and then the cards drawn still require more mana to play. Compare keg to hymn-- keg needs to warm up. Also, black beatdown plays inherent card loss (Dark ritual) but gains lots of speed this way.

Essentially the whole matchup comes down to whether black draws more dark rituals or blue draws more moxes. Force of Will also counteracts the dark ritual problem though.

So even though black beatdown is classically supposed to beat blue, this matchup is still closer to 50/50. It all comes down to who draws more fast mana.

By Bob (Bob) on Monday, July 02, 2001 - 05:58 pm:

And 1st turn masticore is pretty damn fast.


By Deranged Parrot (Parrot) on Monday, July 02, 2001 - 11:01 pm:

Um, Ted? Blue smashes suicide *UNLESS* the black deck is really lucky. There are too many things I can topdeck to get back in a game that I lose control of- 4 FoF, 2 Scroll, 1 Ancestral, 4 Morph, 2 Core- and you can really take the wind out of the black deck's sails by simply countering the first guy they play. FleshReaver.dec beats me becuase it has Sinkholes, but Bob's deck has nothing to screw with my mana.

By the way, the black deck that I fear is Nether Void. It is sooo much better against me than straight suicide.


By Dread Pirate Roberts on Tuesday, July 03, 2001 - 12:04 am:

Hey, one question. How did Parrot misdirect a first turn Hymm without either the Misdirection or the FoF?

From the above post:

It is now the beginning of the game. My opening hand is 2 Island, 3 off-color Moxen, Masticore, Psionic Blast

14:04:03 - bob plays Swamp.
14:04:06 - bob plays Black Lotus.
14:04:21 - bob buries Black Lotus.
14:04:22 - bob plays Hymn to Tourach.
14:04:26 - DerangedParrot plays Misdirection.
14:04:27 - DerangedParrot moves Fact or Fiction from DerangedParrot's hand to DerangedParrot's removed from game pile.

I see two Islands, three Moxes, A 'Core, and a Blast. No FoF or Misdirection. What am I missing here?

As always, I reserve the right to be wrong ... or blind.

DPR


By Dread Pirate Roberts on Tuesday, July 03, 2001 - 12:07 am:

Ack ... Ok, I misread it. Doh ... I'm blind!

Help, I can't see! I'm crawling into to my dark hole of no-reading stupidity!

DPR, who's looking for the "Delete Post" button!
(I hate being blind, stupid ... Doh!)


By Tenebrion on Tuesday, July 03, 2001 - 03:34 am:

Yet against a generic Nether Void deck the match-up is still something like 50/50. Mono-U is very powerful, but damnit, I still hate the friggin' deck. :)
