Gatecrash Spoiler speculation

A few days ago I threw my cards down in frustration after dying yet again to a turn one serra ascendant in EDH. My friend looks over and just grins. “Sorry mate, but after last week you don’t even get a chance.” Annoyed, I pulled out my phone and scrolled down the new gatecrash spoilers. I saw one card and stopped. “Wow, you gotta see this.” I said to the rest of the commander players.

Half an hour later, game completely forgotten we were trying this out in proxied control decks, struggling to deal with this massive pain in the ass. Inbuilt protection, an ETB clock and the beef to back it up, counterspells were flinging to stop this guy from hitting the board.

For the past few days in my spare time I’ve been testing out different shells for the card through proxies and on Cocatrice and I’ve found a shell that seems to be working.

2 Tamiyo, the Moon Sage

1 Gideon, Champion of Justice

4 Obzedat, Ghost Council

3 Syncopate

3 Think Twice

3 Forbidden Alchemy

2 Dissipate

3 Essence Scatter

2 Jace, Architect of Thought

2 Terminus

4 Supreme Verdict

4 Azorius Charm

2 Detention Sphere

4 Godless Shrine

4 Watery Grave

4 Drowned Catacomb

4 Isolated Chapel

4 Hallowed Fountain

4 Glacial Fortress

1 Nephalia Drownyard

SB: 2 Dimir Charm

SB: 2 Cyclonic Rift

SB: 2 Dispel

SB: 1 Dissipate

SB: 4 Liliana of the Veil

SB: 2 Terminus

SB: 2 Negate

A quick disclaimer for the list, we only have 70 cards spoiled so far and control lists are wholly dependent on the threats that will be played and introduced in the next set. I have only dropped 3 matches out of the 20 I have played, so this seems to be working so far. Obzedat is ridiculous in the deck, a solid win condition in a deck brimming with answers. It is unfortunate to sweep your own Obzedat but Gideon comes in from the side to become another hard to deal with threat that costs no mana to avoid most removal and can just instant win games after a sweep. Gatecrash is shaping up to be one hell of a format, just like ravnica was.

Seeya and happy gatecrashing

This is usually a place where I talk about things related to me or my work, but I have to make an exception here while maybe trying to keep it relevant to ME. MEEEE!!

So Bravest Warriors, right? You’re either already watching it or you’re feeling like crap for not knowing about it and you’re about to watch it to feel less crap, okay?

If it looks familiar that’s because it was created by Pendleton Ward of Adventure Time and playing Call of Duty: Zombies with me fame, and executive produced (basically killing himself doing all the awesome shit) by Breehn Burns of Dr. Tran and watching Walking Dead with me fame!

Basically I love this show because of space and funny. Maybe you like other shows where there is space and funny, so check this one out. Even better, support something that isn’t going the usual animation on the big teevee route because here is where your actual viewing helps keep the show alive.

KEEP IT ALIVE FOR ME, GODDAMMIT. I never get to laugh at stuff.

New shit.. sort of

Gonna start posting cause a friend IRL is encouraging me to do so.

First, Cabin in the woods. Such an awesome movie! Everything I want from my horror movies. Plot twists, a sick sense of humour and a shitload of weirdness. Definitely something everyone should see, unless you have a morbid fear of good movies and gore. Can’t talk about it at all but big brother has never been more appealing.

Second, been listening to a shitload of old KMFDM since my comp. crashed, specially WWIII with Last things. Will upload pretty much ASAP. I love Lucia’s… voice. Adois and Hau Ruck is sweet too.

Third, been watching Travis R Chance’s commander (magic the gathering) videos. I love his decks and sense of humour, i’ve never laughed so much watching commander, nor had so much good advice funneled straight into my brain. Watch his vampire or zombie decktechs and you will know what I mean.

Fourth, the Juxtapoz halloween issue. Started torrenting these recently (yeah, i’m that poor) and loving this issue most of all. Missed subscribing to this so much.

Filthily, i’ve been reading and rereading Heartshapedskull online mainly because of the artstyle. I think i’ve posted about this one before. The story is a little whiney, scratch that very whiney but the art is great and its about witches creating art.

I’m good gushing about the new and old shit i’ve been reading in the past two weeks so yeah gg.

Super

This movie is so fucking deranged, I love it. There’s this one scene (I won’t spoil it) had what looked like classic horror special effects to a fantastic effect that sucessfully creeped me out as much as finding out what happened to the little autistic boy in the Orphanage.

Darkly funny, creepy and crazy I highly reccomend this movie to anyone who ever mocked a superhero movie.
