Comments on: Two with All-in Red http://fivewithflores.com/2009/01/two-with-all-in-red/ Where you learn to love what Mike Flores loves Fri, 10 Sep 2010 06:31:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: orazey http://fivewithflores.com/2009/01/two-with-all-in-red/#comment-309 orazey Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:29:15 +0000 http://fivewithflores.com/?p=282#comment-309 i must say that both deck and the whole video showcase is very much to my liking :) please bear with me, im quite new to this level of Magic, but have played it on a small scale among friends so im rather unsure of the exact meaning of some of your refrences (named decks, AIR lists and the like) But as i looked through the All-In, I must admit it caught my imagination, although i would probably have made more use of the accelerated round one and two with other Storm spell as well (Rite of Flame, Desperate Ritual followed by Storm Entity and Grapeshot or perhaps Haze of Rage) to create a possible large impact opening hand with a respecteble creature to follow the turn after, and with the added bonus of giving me the possibility to deal with and any potential blockers (Grapeshot again). Having a rather small income (soldiers arent that wellpaid) i would propperly end up with something like this 16 Mountains 4 Chrome Mox 4 Demigod of Revenge 4 Balefire Liege (for added dammage in later rounds) 4 Simian Spirit Guid 4 Storm Entity 4 Rite of Flame 4 Desperate Ritual 4 Seething Song 4 Grapeshot 4 Haze of Rage 4 Empty the Warrens sidedeck would consist of Shattering Spree (due to the recent increase in Artifact Creatures) Manamorphose (as it has both card draw and a chance of surviving on Chrome Mox and a Mountain) and some other (still to be chosen) cards. if possible could you please give me any feedback on this ? Regards Oliver i must say that both deck and the whole video showcase is very much to my liking :)

Having a rather small income (soldiers arent that wellpaid) i would propperly end up with something like this

16 Mountains
4 Chrome Mox

4 Demigod of Revenge
4 Balefire Liege (for added dammage in later rounds)
4 Simian Spirit Guid
4 Storm Entity

4 Rite of Flame
4 Desperate Ritual
4 Seething Song
4 Grapeshot
4 Haze of Rage
4 Empty the Warrens

sidedeck would consist of
Shattering Spree (due to the recent increase in Artifact Creatures)
Manamorphose (as it has both card draw and a chance of surviving on Chrome Mox and a Mountain)
and some other (still to be chosen) cards.

if possible could you please give me any feedback on this ?

Y'know, it would be nice to see your opening hand ;) That was an excellent video, but could you fade out the lettering on the bottom after a while?

For these videos I used Petras Ratkevicius’s deck); the reason is that it is just so devastating against Affinity and against other decks where you want artifact destruction (some of which are Blue) you can Replicate to get around permission. I don't think the 3/3 body is that sexy. RE: Ingot Chewer

So I have an excuse to watch Transformers: The Movie regularly, and tape The Brave and the Bold, Clone Wars, an Ben 10 every week. We play Lego Batman together several times a week. So long story short, I blog here AND Top8Magic.com :) @EvilBernd

I announced, that MTG Pop got new feeds: blackborder.com and yours and I suspected, that this is a fake blog, because you are already blogging (that's what I supposed) at top8magic.com. I also would have never guessed, that you have a strong affection for Transformers which leads to the rather "childish" background. If that is Transformers. Oh this…

So gibt Mike Flores (wenn er es denn ist, was ich vermute, obschon ich noch zweifle) sein Bestes im Blog Five with Flores und Blackborder.com hat Luis Scott Vargas vor die Kamera geschnallt und da werden mehrmals die Woche nette Videos rausgehauen.

Was mich beim Flores-Blog stutzig macht, ist die Tatsache, dass er ebenfalls bei Top8Magic.com bloggt. Vielleicht hat er Pischner’sche Ambitionen…

Anyway, sollte noch jemand interessante Magic-Seiten mit regelmäßigem Content und einem RSS-Feed kennen, immer her damit.
