Yeah, that latter thing happened when we all agreed to let a Vorinclex resolve, and then one time James and I got into a counter war over Swordsing Chris’s Grim Lavamancer.

Alas, there are a lot of weird/poor decks online. I hate to say it, but it seems a good many people do not grasp Singleton as well as they think. The disparity is simply, players that overkill with cookie cutter combos (Big Green, the Azusa deck being the biggest culprit), 5-color decks with zero focus (good stuff decks, which I hate, and is also why I refuse to build a 5C deck in this format; what’s the point?), people out to have “fun” who get mutilated once out of own their weight class, and then last, people who get it–though they number few. I don’t say this to be a jerk, but rather in lieu of a disappointing amount of research about decks being played, posted, and postulated as optimal.

It’s a darn shame that most of the games I post feature a lack of inspired competition, but, in truth, I can’t tape 16 hours or more of footage. People rage quit when I, or someone else, plays a competitive deck. Petty game hostage taking is often a big factor of games I would love to share. Or, the deck just under performs, making the video not really worth sharing. I post vids of me losing from time to time, but in truth I don’t lose too often due to the lack of brutaloids out there. Many a person has asked that I up my competition, and I have tried, but it’s not so easy. Once Kool, AJ, Death Cloud, and myself sat down with the express intention of videoing a competitive game. What came out was essentially an issue of me having made a deck, a video explaining it, and then having three good players either maul me (making it more about their decks), OR, worse yet, feel obligated to let me showcase the deck, making the game feel artificial. Bottomline: people can’t know I am filming; it just makes for a weird/fake end result. So, unfortunately, this means I have to cross my fingers and pray for rain.

Again, thanks, Mr. Little. I look forward to collaborating outside of my usual comfort zone. I am glad we are at that same juncture of wanting to battle uphill with style, and leave the cheese in the picnic basket.

I’m not playing Living Death because there are too many decks in the area that are a better death deck that this one is, so I am playing Zombie Apoc.It also seems like the decks in my local meta are a ton better than the ones online. I think it comes from there only being like 12 ppl who play and they each make each other better as opposed to playing three rando donks with crapper decks.

This deck is a ton of fun to play. I am a huge fan of Necrologia. It might be better than Ad Nausem. I fought playing the combo version with this deck, but with the decks here being so competitive, it felt very difficult to win without the altar/gravecrawler interaction.

It was great working with you on this. I look forward to doing this more.
