MtGitp: BladeofOblivion vs. Blue Ghost

[BladeofObliviom]

A figure in shimmering etherium armour stands upon the field of battle, longsword at the ready.

"Knave! Scoundrel! Villain! Come forth, and meet your reckoning with honor!"

[Blue Ghost]

A blinding flash of fire briefly lights up the field, and a figure in a crimson robe steps out, his eyes glittering with malevolent glee.
(Picture for those reading who may not know him.)

Heheheheh. It feels good to be back in action, and with new powers to boot. Those Rakdos sure are a hoot! Ah right, you wanted a duel? Then a duel you will get! Ahahahahaha!

He raises his staff, now emblazoned with the sigil of the Rakdos Cult, and steps forward toward the challenger.

[Blue Ghost]

Let's start this off, shall we?

The red-clad warlock raises his staff, and a sheet of flame roars to life behind him. A horned imp leaps out of the fire, cackling madly as it wreathes itself in flame and launches itself at the enemy.

(Heh, I almost want to import Dr. McCarthy, if only because he's completely inappropriate for this setting. :smalltongue:)

[roll0]

Seeing the move the other Planeswalker makes, the knight slashes his blade across his arm, drawing the blood necessary to dispel the foul creature.

"Urgh!"

The wound heals quickly, but already much blood has been used up.

"Foul strength or not, you will not find victory this day."


(Pay the life to dodge Vexing Devil, because yuck. Play a Plains and end turn.)

(Eh, McCarthy's probably too serious to really fit in with the Izzet. Maybe when I have time, though. :smallamused:)

[roll0]

"Oh, I think you'll find me no simple kindling."

A second orb of white mana begins circling, and both seem to expend a bit of energy to call open a gate through which a flagbearer comes, along with a supporting regiment of soldiers.

Isn't this just a blast?

((Discard a Plains and an Oblivion Ring to Blightning.))

[roll0]

The bolt flares across the Knight's armor, checking his assault and causing some quiet, pained grunting. This is not to say he stops, or loses any meaningful resolve.

"So am I."

With that, a third sphere of white light flares into existence, as what appears to be a small village begins mobilizing its militia. The flag-bearer orders an attack as the first platoon charges in, followed by a bona fide legion of armed peasants fighting for what they believe in: Public safety.

(Play a Plains, cast Militia's Pride for one mana because of the Banneret's ability, swing with the Banneret and pay an additional mana to throw a token onto the battlefield and into the fight. End turn.)

[roll0]

[roll0]Come now, we don't want the action to stop now! That would be a dreadful bore![/color]
The flames continue to expand, growing darker and more sinister. Then, suddenly, a burst of fire punches through the banner and the flagbearer. The soldier falls, but the banner stays standing, the hole punched through it formed into a perfect likeness of the sign of Rakdos.

"You fight with the power of destruction, as do most under the banners of darkness. Witness the strength of creation, instead."

With that, a fourth sphere of alabaster materializes, and the four spheres call forth the radiant outline of a second Planeswalker, who merely smiles as another platoon of soldiers seems to simply appear upon the battlefield with a flash of light.

The peasants attack once more.

"A losing battle? My goals are not so lofty as you might believe; I work toward what is achievable, not an impossible fantasy. Entropy may be universal, but it is slow unless hastened, and the damage it does can be repaired far more quickly."

No fifth sphere of light ignites, but some flicker of light does form; There is a rift growing, where more will no doubt come from in time.

Another attack comes, this one stronger than the last, and another battalion appears in a flash of light.

(Pay 3 mana to suspend Benalish Commander for one turn. Use Elspeth's ability again to make another token. Attack with 2 tokens. End turn.)

Red Spectre snarls. You've won this round, but I'll be back! Don't rest easy now!
With that, he steps into the fire and vanishes, the flames dying down behind him.

(I have to surrender now. Don't have any good options available. Not sure if this loss was due to bad luck, bad play, or flaws in the deck. Drew too many of my big creatures in the opening hand, without enough land to play them. Might need to work on the mana curve a bit. I might have done better if I had waited to use Dreadbore on Elspeth, but eh. Good game.)

[BladeofObliviom]

(Yikes, yeah, that's not much fun. I can tell you that saving the Dreadbore for Elspeth wouldn't have done much; Leaving that Banneret with Militia's Pride on the field would just mean I basically got a free hasted token every turn instead of an unhasted one.

I haven't looked at your mana curve, but lots of high-mana stuff in hand without mana is usually a bad sign. Good game anyway, though. If you'd like to try a different deck, I'm still up for a game.)

EDIT: (Oh, and I honestly had a pretty good starting hand. That probably didn't help.)

[Blue Ghost]

(I wasn't paying much attention to the mana curve when I built the deck, but it seemed fine when I counted it. Probably just bad luck. But I adjusted it a bit toward the low end anyway, just in case. And sure, I can go for another match. I don't have another deck at the moment, so I'll stick with this one. I'm up for facing whichever deck you choose.)

Suddenly, a portal opens in front of the vedalken, and the red-robed warlock emerges, muttering darkly.

As the portal opens and Red Spectre starts making a mess of things just by being there, the meditating Vedalken cracks an eye open.

"You've disturbed my meditation."

And everything in a decent radius, for that matter, if all of those yellow eyes in the trees are any indication. In particular, there's one reptilian creature that almost looks humanoid in frame despite being covered in fine scales, aiming a bow.

Ooh, so terribly sorry about that. Meant to burn this place down around you without you noticing, but hey, it's more fun this way!

[roll0]

Let's get started then.
Red Spectre taps the ground with his staff, and a fire starts in the swamp and begins spreading outward, the smoke from the flame melding with the sulfurous swamp gas. The flame coalesces into the form into a grinning imp, menacing the vedalken.

"Your goals are irrelevant, because you have successfully annoyed one of your betters, and you shall be punished for that mistake."

Another snake slithers out of the trees before disconnecting entirely from the branch, flying as it pleases. Two more snakes slither out of plates that open upon its sides, and glide to the ground hissing angrily.

(Play Tropical Island, then tap lands for 4 mana in both colors to play Patagia Viper, who spawns 2 snake tokens when it enters the battlefield and stays because I paid blue.

"You are a fool to bargain yourself away to such entities. I will allow you to keep this one, to see your folly."

Even as the mana continues to expand around him, a toadlike thing emerges from the marshy ground, and the snakes seem to grow, fed by the strength of land and sea alike. The flying snake and the two "Normal" ones strike viciously, attempting to tear into their foe.

Red Spectre recoils in disgust. Gah! And you think summoning such an abomination is better?
Two of the snakes strike home, but the flying serpent is brought down from the sky by a sharp lance of flame.

(Searing Spear on the Patagia Serpent, destroying it before it attacks.)

The flames continue to fan outward relentlessly, as another devil appears.

The Vedalken slashes his wrist, and flings off a modest amount of blood as the creature runs off in search of it.

"The difference is that it is a loyal creature, that will not abandon me to a simple bribe. Now, let us finish this."

The humanoid snake from earlier metamorphoses into a second Toad-horror, and both Horror and Snake attack mercilessly.

(Play Breeding Pool tapped, Cast Cytoshape on Sakura-Tribe Scout, turning it into another Murkfiend Liege until end of turn. This turns it into a 6/6, turns the other Murkfiend into a 6/6, and turns the snake tokens into 5/5s. Swing with everything for 22 damage, then end turn.

Red Spectre screams as the reptiles swarm savagely over him. Gah! Curse you to hell, Raaaaakdos!
And in a flash of fire, he is gone.

(Welp, I lost again. Had a slightly better hand that time, though still not good enough. Any suggestions for this deck?)

[BladeofObliviom]

((Yeah, sorry about that. That was an absurdly good run for this deck; Exactly as many lands as I needed at all times, perfect mana curve with the acceleration, and no real removal on the opposite side. So, erm, yeah.

Probably not the best indication of deck strength. :smalltongue:

Maybe you just had bad luck, but I also noticed that you weren't casting much outside of Vexing Devils. Have you considered some kind of draw acceleration? Black has access to things like Sign in Blood, after all.))

[Blue Ghost]

Yeah, could just be bad luck. I'll give Sign in Blood a try though. And I found Incinerate and Flame Slash; gonna be running those to replace my current burn spells. And maybe Lightning Bolt? It's strong, but the flavor doesn't exactly match...

Also, new deck, completely untested. I got the idea for it long before I heard of Azorius, and am kind of sad that Azorius stole the flavor (but also thankful that they provided a lot of cards for the theme). Was going to run a bit of black in it, but there aren't enough on-theme black cards to justify running a third color. Look it over and see if there are any major flaws? And I'd be up for a match to test it too.

By the way, is there anyone else active in the PbP right now? Seems you and I are the only ones here.

I don't see anything too obvious. I haven't clearly looked over the mana curve yet, but I don't see any glaring issues with that either. 22 lands might be a bit low given a relatively high number of large drops, and Counterspell's double blue cost might be occasionally tough to manage.

As for players on PbP, people usually just drop in for a game or two every once in a while, then stop playing a while. Meanwhile, I'm the solemn spirit of the thread, always ready for a game when no others are around for it. :smalltongue:

Anyway, in the interest of giving you something to test decently, I decided to throw out a deck that I haven't used in a while but takes a bit of time to build up properly. That way, nobody gets bowled over before the game properly starts.

Thanks much. :smallsmile:

Wandering through the Aether, you find yourself in an imposing marble structure, resembling the courthouse of New Prahv. A stern-faced man stares coldly at you from the judge's bench. He adjusts his spectacles and taps a gavel. You stand charged with unauthorized planeswalking and disrupting the fabric of the multiverse. How do you plead?

[BladeofObliviom]

Meanwhile, the man who seemed to have planeswalked previously collapses to the ground, dead. Guilty, apparently. And he even arranged his own death sentence! How thoughtful!

Or not.

A foul miasma spreads from his form, as the fungus begins spreading relentlessly despite whatever objections the Azorius Senate may have. Some Golgari Superweapon? Or worse?

The hacking seems to harm the beast, but doesn't stop its spread entirely. Strangely, the fallen man stands back up, and begins speaking even as a pair of Simic cytoplasts extend themselves out of the Fungus and attach themselves to him.

"Well, this seems like an excellent test of its capabilities. But I believe you are getting in the way of my progress. This shall have to be rectified."

(Tap both Llanowar Reborn, play Thelon of Havenwood. Since Llanowar Reborn has graft and both still have their counter, Thelon takes both +1/+1 counters and enters the battlefield as a 4/4. Return one Llanowar Reborn to my hand to play a Golgari Rot Farm, then end turn.)

If you think that you can take down the entire Azorius court by yourself, you are sorely mistaken. Accept your sentence.
One of the lawkeepers stifles one of the thallids, while the soulsworn jury project a force field to stop the second.
(At the beginning of combat step, tap the grafted thallid with Gideon's Lawkeeper. Then block the other thallid with Soulsworn Jury. You have priority at this point.)

EDIT: I have to go soon, so I'll assume you pass priority and finish my response. If you had something else to do, please correct me.

I have had enough of your insolence. No more deliberation is necessary; we have reached a decision. Guilty!
The judge bangs his gavel, and the man is suddenly enveloped in a brilliant white light and vanishes.
(During the declare blockers step, cast Condemn on Thelon. The thallid blocked is back at 1/1, and is destroyed in battle.)

I'm going to be on vacation for the next few days, so posting will be infrequent.

[BladeofObliviom]

"You're underestimating my strength. I simply grow and grow, while your forces can only dwindle in response."

Then he gets hit by a bright light and recoils in pain before vanishing. The fungus doesn't stop, though.

(Cast consume Strength Twice, each one killing one of your Lawbringers and giving +2/+2 to my blocked Thallid. This should mean that your field is clear of creatures, unless I'm mistaken.

You probably still condemn Thelon, but I end my turn regardless.)

[Blue Ghost]

(Actually, in that case, I will not condemn Thelon yet.)

The judge's expression remains impassive as he watches the overgrown fungi shred his lawkeepers.

[roll0]

We have reached our verdict. Guilty of all charges. Sentence, annihilation!
The gavel pounds down once more, and the courtroom is flooded with a blinding flash of light that incinerates the intruder and his fungi.

It's time to finish this. Let us hear the closing statement.
On cue, a bearded man clad in the azure robes of an Azorius lawyer steps to the stand, unfurls a scroll, and begins reading.

Ladies and gentlemen of the court, today you have seen for yourselves the heinous acts of the defendant. You have openly heard this man mock our court system, a crime punishable by indefinite detention under Azorius Code XVI, section 10.9. This alone would be reason to condemn the defendant, as you no doubt would agree. Furthermore...

The elocutor looks up briefly and glances at the defiled signet, hastily jots down some notes, and continues his speech as if nothing had happened.

Furthermore, the defendant is accused of interguild conspiracy, a serious breach of the Guildpact, article XXVII. This is a grave charge, and deserving of serious deliberation. I believe that the court will find the evidence more than sufficient to substantiate this charge. Take Exhibit A, a clear example of Golgari necromantic technology, which you have seen used against the Azorius court; as well as Exhibit B, an instance of grafting magic known to be used by the Simic Combine. If this is not sufficient evidence of the accused's guilt...

(Condemn on Mycoloth.)

[roll0]

A vedalken guildmage is summoned to nullify any further threats, while the lawyer continues his elocution.

This man has clearly obtained technology from the Simic and Golgari guilds illegally. While the question one may ask is how, it is not the relevant question here. The question is, to what end? And the answer to that is clear. He has orchestrated an attack on the Azorius Senate itself, an act of Class I terrorism. I trust you, ladies and gentlemen of the court, that you will not let this heinous crime go unpunished.

Still putting up a desperate onslaught, the fungus still manages to spread further and spawns another bud, which begins to start spewing fungal spores into the air.

If all these crimes are not enough, the defendant has added to the list of his offenses the defiling of the Azorius signet. Turn your attention, ladies and gentlemen, to Exhibit C. The damage to the signet will cost thousands to repair, and restitution will be demanded.

The fungus is struggling, but manages to spread yet further as it redoubles its efforts. The bud, meanwhile, fires a volley of more lethal spike-shaped spores in the general direction of the judiciary.

The thallid is stopped in its tracks by an arrest spell cast by the guildmage.
(Tap Sporesower Thallid with Azorius Guildmage's ability, preventing the attack.)

[roll0]

Before the thallid can grow any larger, it is enveloped in a detention sphere and suspended above the courtroom. The elocutor continues uninterrupted.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have seen all the evidence arrayed against the defendant: The vile matter he has sown in the courtroom, the defiled Azorius signet, and the defendant's own testimony. There can remain no reasonable doubt of his guilt...

[Blue Ghost]

Therefore, ladies and gentlemen of the court, we humbly request that you find the accused guilty of all charges. Thank you.

The judge slams his gavel. Guilty as charged! We hereby sentence to life in detention, followed by eternal imprisonment. And with that, a brilliant light flashes through the courtroom, completely obliterating all the remaining fungus.

(Good game. Wow, I wasn't actually expecting to win that one. I guess I got lucky with drawing the Elocutors fairly early. Any suggestions for this deck? Any win conditions beside Elocutors that would be on theme, or ways to make pulling this off easier?)

[BladeofObliviom]

((Well, I'll start by saying that you really nailed the Flavor of the Azorius. Seriously, that was pretty darned entertaining. :smallwink:

On mechanical concerns, I'm not sure how I can help you. I'm better at identifying errors in decks that lose, you see, since it's clear exactly what happened. For example, I'm seeing that I need to add something that lets me bounce back from board wipers a little bit better, because that Supreme Verdict was painful. >.>))

[Blue Ghost]

Thanks muches! Glad I could be a little entertaining. :smalltongue:

Not much activity in the main thread lately. Wonder if we can get enough people for one of the variant games.

[BladeofObliviom]

Heh, maybe. Been a while since we had anything other than a duel, and that was just a four-way free-for-all.
