I didn't say that... sometimes I miss things... :(
I am sorry if I came across as rude... :(
What role does vial fill here? to be able to play an extra creature for free right? and get big expensive creatures out for cheap?

all in all this deck looks really good. :)

yes, but in order for me to get it I have to break my rule, and play something for more than 1 mana, which was kinda the point. now as for if I wasn't limiting myself to 1 mana... then heck yes I would put it in here. :)

O.o? I am confused...

sure, I can look at it. :)

That is ok, the best way to get better is to play against people who ARE better than you. :) or at least observe their games. :) that is what I have found. :)

so... I know that Vial is a fishy friend (ala Merrow Reejerey), but it really doesn't have any way to break it in here, since there is no way to untap it and pump out more than a single creature per turn with it. am I missing something?

That is pretty cool. I don't think that I would be able to participate though... I hope that you find enough people.

lol... no offense taken. :) I shall look at your suggestions on that deck then. :)

yes, I know that typhoid rats and pharika's chosen are great, but I am really going for the hand control with this deck. :)

grave crawler... I honestly don't see it being all that useful in this deck, since I don't have any other zombies. and yes it is dirt cheap and can be played from the graveyard. (I know... I am crazy... DON'T JUDGE ME!!!!) Jk... :)
for real though... I just don't see it helping what my overall goal is: to punish people for aggressive play, which allows for a more advantageous (and hopefully empty) battlefield.

now I will say that I think that I have a weak point with my creatures aside from gnat miser:
Gideon 's lawkeeper. I know that tap is good, but... I think that there are better cards out there. perhaps I can swap it out for the typhoid rats or the Chosen. :) Deathtouch is always a plus. any other suggestions?


oh and I am pretty sure that daggerdrome is a 2 drop. but I will double check. :)
edit: yeah, daggerdrome is 2 mana. I think that vault skirge is better. it is identical except that you can pay 1 Phyrexian black mana and 1 other instead of a normal black and 1 other. :) being able to put it out on turn 1 is a pretty nice deal for 2 life.

Meh... that's ok. :)

I know that the vial is a good card, but how well does it work here?

Thanks. Any suggestions to improve it?

Indeed. :). Until then I guess I can print out a proxy version of both and do it that way, although that isn't all that great of a way to test it.

I thought about that, but I want sure if I liked the fact that it allows me to play a card for more than 1 mana, even s an alternate casting cost. If I wanted to out that in here I would run nip gwyllion. (I think that is what it is called.)

ok, that is true... if my opponent has shroud or hexproof, I cannot target them for athreos ability. but that can be worked around with glaring spotlight, if need be. and not many people run cards that give themselves shroud or hexproof. just isn't really practical unless you are facing a burn deck in my opinion. Either way the card that you are thinking of wouldn't help me at all, since it works against me being able to target my opponent with Athreos. so I am confused...

The thing is, if you haven't heard of a rule, or haven't played very long, or are just getting back into the game after a long time away from it, then there is no reason to feel bad about not knowing certain things.

although I have to admit, it does feel pretty sucky to find out something that seems to be common sense to everyone else. and I have had that happen to me. so I kinda get where you are coming from. but regardless, no one that I know of here looks down at people for not knowing things. :)

I myself was informed earlier today of a rule change that happened about 4 years ago, and I had NO IDEA THAT IT HAD HAPPENED. and yeah, I kinda felt stupid about that. I should keep myself better informed.

indeed it is... :( I don't have nearly enough people to actually play with, so... yeah. kinda lonely...

hmm... I will certainly take a look at them :)

I do not... :( and I am using a borrowed laptop or my phone, so it wouldn't work so well.

so? If you don't know the answer, then there is nothing wrong with asking. I actually think that most people here (with a few exceptions that shall remain unnamed) have no problems answering questions. even when they are really basic questions. in fact there is a guy on here NorthernWarlord, who does the Budget decks that are always on the Hot page, that LOVES answering questions that people have. ESPECIALLY the basic questions. most people here like helping people learn more about the game. it is fun. :)
