Hi, everyone. Long-time lurker, first time poster. I have to admit that after playing Vintage since IceAge I have come to love peasant magic for the...
Heah Mike, you have definately given PEZ some thought, cool! I don't know if Tortured Existance can really be all that broken though? Perhaps. Survival of the...
Hi all, Since I noticed the nominations for new Council members have been a little sparse (hint hint), in the finest spirit of nepotism I am nominating MY...
Don't underestimate Tortured Existence until you have seen it in action. I have not yet posted my deck, but it is my favorite one to play. Although my list is...
@ Swawagon: I had forgotten that GB helps in FrozenTides, but really does nothing to ProsTides. What, then, does ProsTides fear. Discard is a good way to slow...
I feel like G/B Tortured Existence decks want to set up a pretty specific endgame: A Blastoderm every turn. Creatures with Dredge make it easier to accomplish ...
Finally some like minded individuals on the power of tortured existence:)Currently, i am testing a black blue version of it spells 4 dizzy spells 4 perplex 4...
@ jyuantey83: I like some of your creature choices, especially Thrull Surgeon. I was trying to find a discard creature that could sac itself and Thrull Surgeon...
I've been working on an anti-ProsTides paper. To make a long story short, there's only a handful of cards and strategies that can be used to either draw...
This is awesome!!Never in my dreams have i thought of so many like minded individuals like myself actually being interested in tortured existence like i am!In...
So far we have: x4 Sakura Tribe Elder x4 Kodama's Reach x2 Golgari Brownscale x2 Nantuko Vigilante Things that we are going to include but without a determined...
... Without any way to sacrifice the Vigilante you can get into situations where you can't destroy an artifact because the Vigilante is in play rather than in...
My mistake on the Gorilla Shaman. For some reason I thought it was common, oh well. Here is a revised build that I'll test. Chris, unfortunately testing...
A deck based around Tortured Existence NEEDS 4 copies of it in the deck. You have to count on Tortured Existence being destroyed or countered. You are on the...
I agree with hombre there.4 tortured existences are a given in any deck seeking to abuse it. Having four of something serves the purpose of redundancy and...
... Recently I've been doing extensive ProsTides testing against a variety of top-tier PEZ decks. My experiences corroborate the effectiveness of Frantic...
I've been doing some testing with this deck and haven't been very satisfied, although the testing is admittedly preliminary. 0-2 vs. IsoBurn pre board 0-2 vs....
Chris what is your Recoup.dec? Card choices? I have no idea what this is? Also what are your Affinity builds looking like? I took Affinity in a BU direction. I...
I do almost all of my playing and testing using Magic Workstation, so it's easy to put together essentially random decklists and BR Recoup.dec is one of them....
The deck is slow. You are right about that. But instead of eyeballing the list, did you actually test it? How is the "psuedo- combo" beatable? How does burn...
My opponent was at 21 life. My opponent had two 1/1 snake tokens, a Yosei the Morning Star, and a Patron of the Kitsune. He was smart enough to destroy my...
The problem of your example is that all Peasant decks are far more powerful and speedier than Standard or Block decks. Against most Peasant decks your opponent...
Maybe. Maybe not. The power of peasant decks is no where near the power of Legacy. Most good peasant decks can't even handle ProsTide. I don't know about...
Affinity Burn (full burn, no Scepter or Factory) High Tide Psychatog UR Ninja Goblin Kobolds Clamp I think all those decks should be succesfull in Standard If...
I forgot to say : you're right to try a new deck and new ideas. It's only very diffcult to make a new "best deck". I know it can be very frustrating to make a...
Okay, the decks you listed can do well in Standard. But I doubt they are faster AND more powerful than ANYTHING in Stardard. Affinity probably loses to white /...
OK, you must be right. Could you post your decklist ? My next Peasant tournament is in 2 weeks, and I'll send a reminder mail to the players. I'd like to...
Is anyone still playing Peasant Magic on the official Magic Online client? I've read that folks hang out in the /peasant chat channel, but so far I've seen no...
