I run removal. I'm no fool.

Two legendary creatures on the field. The phantasm just has to resolve.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Removing Enchantments in Green? Unheard of!

Now let's see you cheat out an Asceticism and a Mirror Gallery to answer both of the other mentioned Melira combo-breakers.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Actually Cid is in love with Innocent Blood and Evoking Shriekmaws so I'm wondering what would go off first, that combo or Cid killing off those creatures.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

He'd have to cast his whole combo on his turn, which admittedly isn't hard to pull off given the mana acceleration available to Green.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Well facing combo decks like that is the exception to the "Single Target Removal is a bad thing unless it is part of a combo your are using" thing in Multiplayer given that YMMV for your group's meta.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

I don't get you guys' deal with responding to every strategy with the hoser for that strategy. Yeah, every strategy has an answer. That's kindof the heart of the game. Besides, who the heck maindecks 4 Leyline of the Void or even any copies of Rest in Peace? Zero people. And don't even say "sideboard" because I can count on one hand the number of games I've played with you guys where somebody sideboarded (not counting cid's work-in-progress deck sideboards). Most of the time we don't even play the same decks two games in a row.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

I have a deck that packs Leyline of the Voids

[Taskmage]

Re: Magic: The Gathering

I guess it's a mill deck?

There's at least one person who combos Rest in Peace with Misthollow Griffin.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

That seems underwhelming.

[Yellow Mage]

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Yeah, recurring the Griffin with Moorland Haunt tends to be a more popular method, anyway.

Speaking of WU decks, one of you guys log on to Cockatrice and play me! I'll set up a Standard room with password DiV.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Ask Yyg about my Standard deck's sideboard sometime.

The fact that we generally don't play 1 on 1 or use the same deck more than one match in a row is a large part of why I haven't bothered to trim most of my sideboards.

It's a U/B Bounce/Discard Combo Deck but I'm considering Sideboarding them for some Wheels of Fortune (since they were mostly just there to screw over Dredge and Reanimator decks). It isn't as good as just going full on Discard but it is still amusing and it is a little less dickish than the BU and Monoblack Discard multiplayer decks I have.

Every game I play with cid:

Game 1: Business as usual

Cid: 1 sec, Sideboard

Game 2: OWNED BY CID

Me: Changing decks

Game 3: Business as usual

Cid: 1 Sec, Sideboard

Game 4: OWNED BY CID

Me: Changing decks... again...

Game 5: Business as usual

Cid: 1 sec, Sideboard

Me: I'm going to go...

I don't get it either. I never adjust my decks hardly at all once they're complete. I can list 2 decks I play with that even utilize a sideboard at all. And even those I can't recall actually tapping into more than 1 or 2 times.
