Week 2 D.Elemental VS Blinding Angel

[KLS]

i dunno about you guys but i'm rooting for D.Elemental
it's got COMBO written all over it

[digi-kun]

Finally a worthy matchup
Give B. Angel a Whispersilk Cloak, and Boom! opponent can't attack for a LONG while
eh...this IS hard...Dawn elemental costs less and cant have damage done 2 it...unless the opponent pulls a "damage cant be prevented" card...hmmm...ill go with B. Angel

[John Denver]

Dawn elemental with the Mask enchant creature card that says...

"All damage that would be delt to you is delt to enchant creature instead...oh I love it"

BOO ya!

[Kenny_C.002]

oh, I'm a sucker for angels, as I said b4. Even IF the elemental is Johnny X2.

[KLS]

Dawn elemental with the Mask enchant creature card that says...

"All damage that would be delt to you is delt to enchant creature instead...oh I love it"

BOO ya!

you mean Pariah right?
yes THAT COMBO IS JUST RIGGED TO GOOD
it's **** well to good

[Kenny_C.002]

Not really. Black players are laughing at the combo (the ringing is still there), blue players are killing it with bounce and counterspells, white and green guys have disenchant. Red? I guess the pinpoint avalanche might do the trick...

Yeah, black and blue gets the answers for that more often than white and green. Red has almost no way to deal with it. Too bad Pariah isn't in 8th, it might have been a working deck, too.

[KLS]

still i hope dawn elemental wins
i mean to be honest with you Blinding Angel sucks IMO

[Kenny_C.002]

I know. I probably wouldn't have voted for the angel if it wasn't an angel. lol

[KLS]

lol
i think serra angel's going to make it
i REALLY wish apocolypse would make it
can you say LD IS BACK
but if it was apocolypse vs wrath of god
i'd most likely choose apocolypse

[Kenny_C.002]

o yeah. Serra's definitely going to be in 9th. Same with Wrath. Those are like the iconic cards of Magic (which they must include). lol

Now for that black lotus....

[KLS]

tch...
.black lotus like that'll ever happen

[John Denver]

Then smack an abosham's desire on it with threshhold...D. Elemental and Pariah I mean....

I like that

[KLS]

you could do so many things to it like kenny said

[Kenny_C.002]

Yup! But add a couple more combos and it'll be good fun. :P

[KLS]

i don't think Serra Angel will ever die out
same as Wrath Of God
i'm sad cause apoclypse didn't make it

[John Denver]

I don't think Shock will ever die out either, it's so useful!

[KLS]

well i don't know about shock maybe
maybe not

[Kenny_C.002]

Shock probably won't. I don't think wizards will replace shock with lightning bolt any time soon. But ONE of the two will always be around for sure.

[KLS]

shock's really not that good

[Kenny_C.002]

Of course, when something like lightning bolt around, it's not that good. But shock in itself is half creature removal and half burn. Not bad for 1 mana.

[KLS]

you know what they don't make these days?
burn cards...

[Kenny_C.002]

I don't know whether you're talking burn as in grinding-type cards or burn cards as in shock-like cards. It's one of the two, but I'm sure that shock-like cards are everywhere and grinding station is the newest grind card.

[KLS]

i mean like shock cards
the recent one i've seen was fiery gambit but it's blehh....

[Kenny_C.002]

The recent one is barbed lightning (well most recent). Next before that is electrostatic bolt and firey gambit.

[KLS]

how come all the burns suck so much these days

[Kenny_C.002]

The lightning is GOOD. I mean, you can't compare with like incinerate or anything, ubt hte lightning itself can pull through with 3 for 3 or 6 for 5. It's not bad of a deal.

Next is the bolt. It's not the BEST, but it's still a shock variation.

The gambit's just...the gambit. lol

btw, I dont' think we'll be going back to days with incinerate, lightning bolt, etc. coming en-masse.

[KLS]

Electrostatic Bolt is pretty satisying
get's rid of artifact creatures
