The "secret tech" bits are cool but the bad cards bit is way more fun and possibly more informative (just look what you guys did to Ib Halfheart). I have been trying to bust out my Skull of Orm since discovering this format but I just haven't found the way yet (and no, don't bring up Zur the boring asshole). <br /><br />Anyway, I'll be going into exile soon (being banished from the Land of Rohan) but while in exile I will most certainly give this sweet episode a second listen, something no other podcast has yet had the privilege of experiencing. That's right, in mother Russia, the podcast experiences the listener!<br /><br />Keep on given 'er, Giant Shark!<br /><br />-Wheel_of_ArmageddonGlennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557416765412196219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956154275711415107.post-40117820425577578492011-04-16T15:10:16.578-04:002011-04-16T15:10:16.578-04:00We have the technology.

It's a film which seems like it was made in 1991, but was actually made in 2009. Anyways, there's one scene in which the Mega Shark lunges out of the water and eats a passenger plane and for some reason I couldn't help thinking of Giant Shark and its terrible "blood in the water" ability.<br /><br />Oh man... I just realised I could totally build an AWESOME theme deck around this movie...<br /><br />Anyways, I recommend you download it from somewhere. Along with its sequels "Mega Shark versus Crocosaurus" and "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid". Apparently we can expect to be treated to "Pirahnaconda" sometime in 2012. Sweeet...<br /><br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Shark_Vs._Giant_Octopusspezza19https://www.blogger.com/profile/08178666811935399792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956154275711415107.post-32732300849222267462011-04-13T22:15:15.317-04:002011-04-13T22:15:15.317-04:00Hermit Druid is a tricky card.

It can be hated against, it can be meta'd against, the other 3+ guys at the table can take turns pushing the Druid player down the stairs before he or she takes the hint. <br />Second, there are fair applications. Much the same with many banned cards. One of my builds I pulled together on workstation is a mono-black Vampire tribal deck (Anowon keeping it real in Romania). A favorite card of mine in the deck is Painter's Servant which I use to turn on Vampire Nocturnus and Repentant Vampire.<br />Hardly the "whoops you just milled your whole deck" or "would you look at that, Iona just fucked your whole face" that certain unsavory types use the card for.<br /><br /><br />How adamant Adam was about his secret tech cards being bad was incredibly hilarious to me.Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04249219373341330543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956154275711415107.post-80064300639373519612011-04-12T19:55:20.520-04:002011-04-12T19:55:20.520-04:00Sounds like a pretty resilient combo.Sounds like a pretty resilient combo.Dominik S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14517498353124315375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956154275711415107.post-27393192144247901022011-04-12T13:07:04.980-04:002011-04-12T13:07:04.980-04:00You could even Dread Return a Sun Titan, getting b...You could even Dread Return a Sun Titan, getting back Saffi Eriksdotter. Assuming you dredged Anger, you attack with Sun Titan, getting back Altar of Dementia or some other sac outlet. Proceed to go infinite mid-combat by sacrificing Saffi to protect Sun Titan, then sacrificing Sun Titan to the outlet. When Titan re-enters the battlefield, get back Saffi and repeat.<br /><br />You could even make it a Reveillark combo if you really wanted to. Once you've dredged your deck, the combo win doesn't matter.carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854035285430326439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956154275711415107.post-79879895915164853382011-04-12T07:16:31.400-04:002011-04-12T07:16:31.400-04:00With no basic lands, activate Hermit Druid and mil...With no basic lands, activate Hermit Druid and mill your deck. You automatically get Narcomoeba, maybe bring back a Fatestitcher or Reassembling Skeleton, then flashback Dread Return. Return gets you Necrotic Ooze and you can go infinite in a number of ways from there. Some decks run the Saffi Eriksdotter + Crypt Champion "Project X" combo instead of Ooze.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455407430510127548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956154275711415107.post-59396764932319915252011-04-12T04:57:20.154-04:002011-04-12T04:57:20.154-04:00How exactly does the combo work anyways?How exactly does the combo work anyways?Dominik S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14517498353124315375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956154275711415107.post-9018279812172501972011-04-11T19:50:42.524-04:002011-04-11T19:50:42.524-04:00Not only do I believe Hermit Druid is unfairly ove...Not only do I believe Hermit Druid is unfairly overpowered, but it makes for the least fun games of EDH I have ever seen.<br /><br />Hey everyone, this guy is playing a HD deck. Everyone tutor up your Paths and other various 2cc answers, otherwise this game is over by turn 3. Even if someone does manage to stop him, it ends up being a three-player game with one other player sitting there with a mostly neutered deck, assuming he didn't actually suicide with the HD.<br /><br />Honestly, Gifts Ungiven is a fair comparison.. but how about comparing it to Emrakul? Emrakul forces the game to evolve around him when he's in play. Hermit Druid forces the game to revolve around him when he's IN SOMEBODY'S DECK. So lame. So un-fun.spezza19https://www.blogger.com/profile/08178666811935399792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956154275711415107.post-54258297785285181142011-04-11T06:22:22.819-04:002011-04-11T06:22:22.819-04:00I just worte a long comment but my browser had an ...I just worte a long comment but my browser had an error. So here my short summary again:<br /><br />Loved your show as allways. But there is one smal thing I recognised.<br /><br />I believe you latest two casts had too few argumentation from a casual side on both the Hermit Druid and the Sideboard matter.<br />(I know that you are the casual Guy at heart Andy, and the host. So you did actually moderate a little bit in that direction.) But there was no strong argument there for the casual side...<br />I would love to hear more actually arguing instead of mutual agreement on the matter.<br /><br />Especially concerning sideboards I have to agree with you Andy that it makes the game very uncasual for various reasons. Have you ever considered that "offensive" players might sideboard, against your sideboard strategy? or even wreck you more by using a sideboard?<br />It just makes everything even more competetive and drives more casual players away from EDH than it helps the format.<br />Also the barrier of entry is much higher now, you not only have to built a 100 card deck but also anticipate a counter strategy.<br /><br />I would love to represent the "Casual Inquisition's" case the next time the round table meets.<br /><br />Yours Dominik S.<br />from completelycasual.netDominik S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14517498353124315375noreply@blogger.com
