Extended Testing

[James Mills]

I would like to do another one of those Pendrall Oak testing sessions. I have a few decks that I want to try out for this season.

 

Of course this will have to happen after Christmas sometime - I was thinking maybe the 27th as I assume everyone has this off.

[Charlie Grover]

Ta; im pretty sure one of my GWx lists will be +ve against 4c and fae and at least even vs. jund, but I have noo idea which is better yet.

[James Mills]

I have Fae I can knock up Jund and I might have to proxie up 5cc

 

I really want to try that Shamans list that Gavin Verhey wrote about

[Dan Barrett]

Elementals looks worth a spin also.

 

I think the important thing is to not test brews against each other, as this is a pairing very unlikely to come up.

[Philip Dickinson]

fuck. just realised 10th isn't legal. THIS MEANS I CAN'T PLAY SANITY GRINDING

 

someone please find an equally "terrible" combo/pseudocombo deck for me to play so i can make people realise how terrible at magic they are when they lose to such a deck

 

suggestions: timeSieve.dec, runeflareTrap.dec, slaver/portal.dec, colfenor'sPlans.dec

[Simon Baldwin]

"Terrible" combo, you say?

Baneful Omen + Clash?

Aura Gnarlid + Uril The Mindstalker (and auras, of course, who would be expected a deck based around auras?! Canopy Cover in particular, the Eldrazi Aura for laughs)

Liquimetal Coating + Artifact Destruction

Proliferate + [Level Up | Class Lords from Morning tide (with the +1/+1 counters)]

Boldwyr Heavyweights + Mimic Vat + Lots of Mass destruction

Countryside Crusher + That bad card from ZEN/WWK that removes everything but land from your library (can't remember its name, Jaces erasure maybe?)

[Charlie Grover]

Seive might be a good deck Phil. It should still crush on 4c so very very hard, and its other matchups cant be awful. Fae is a coinflip (win/lose is basically dependant on b blossom) and it can race aggro decks handily. It does goldfish slower than scapeshift though which is an issue.

[Simon Baldwin]

Oh, thought of another potentially fun combo (well, more of a synergy really):

Geth, Lord of the Vault + Amulet of Vigor

[James Mills]

Fuck it - no one can really be bothered so I'm just going to get drunk instead!

[Daniel Royde]

skype + mws.

[david mcglinchey]

so tomorrow then what time?

[James Mills]

Ok dudes lets try this again - how about the Penderal's Oak in Holborn on either Sunday the 2nd or Monday the 3rd. I trust everyone should have recovered from NYE by this time.

 

If you are interested please post letting me know what day is favourable for you.

 

Cheers
