Emrakul's Corruption brag thread

yunnnn

The secondary quests are borderline sadistic. I mean, they are mutually exclusive! Vamps and Eldrazi? Do they not realize that we can only put 10 unique cards in our decks?!

But with some teamwork, our coalition broke the code! The best part is that these decks are pretty fun to play and it doesn't feel grindy at all. I don't have many of the more popular cards for summoning vamps and werewolves, so we had to be clever while building.

Good luck to the rest of you!

(10 rounds, 3 colors, 7 points each)

Do I still get to brag if my only losses have been to crashes?

Would you mind telling us this incredible secret you found?

Of course! All decklists will go up after the event ends.

Lol OK I didn't know this deserved a brag. Let me join in.


I made my deck in 10 mins and it has completed the objectives quite smoothly.


It's...not really the complicated puzzle you're describing.


My deck:

Behold the beyond
To the slaughter
Corrupted grafstone
Ruinous path
Ruthless disposal
Heir of falconrath
Kalastria nightwatch
Grave birthing
Catacombs sifter
Unholy hunger(obv use grip of desolation if you have it)

Post your final score after you are done

I prefer the low cmc route excanging grafstone,disposal,heir,sifter and hunger with bone splinter,read the bones,sludge crawler,altar reap and the 1/2 vamp, but yeah this works.
lost only 40 lp vs a sarkhan with burn the three dragons(not outcast) and dark petition.

Well if this is the thread for it, I just ran out of nodes for the event but made it to 185 points, which is good enough for 13th (as of this post) in the platinum group I'm in. I enjoyed these objective actually, the decks were fun, and managed not too feel to **** except when you go up against a nodes of powerhouse deck.

**Well you bums have knocked me back to ~30th now**

Those are the most exciting games!

My deck reached a perfect score quite comfortably (as have others in the coalition that used the same tech). Because of this, I feel like I've got enough authority to comment on your 10-minute deck:

1. You have too many kill spells and not-enough/too-costly eldrazi spawning, which slows down the deck unnecessarily. Obs does not need 5 kill spells.
2. You picked the wrong vampires.
3. Your BTB does not chain well, based on the cards you have; all you will get are free kill spells. Grave birthing is also horrible unless it specifically comes from BTB.
4. The deck is weak to hexproof.

Of course it's not a puzzle when you build a deck that can only theoretically win; it's simply an exercise of picking 10 cards that can do the job. While your deck can possibly get the achievements, there are various common/uncommons that you've overlooked that are critically better than the selections you've made.

Slamming that dude's list because this is MY thread

I don't know which I enjoy less, you starting a thread just to state "I have information I'm not sharing, ha-ha" or you "critiquing" my least favorite poster without telling him anything worthwhile. "You picked the wrong vampires" LOL

Your coalition can get a nice circle going in your private slack channel, no need for you guys to do it in everyone's face

I am morally the winner of this first competition.
I finished my nodes way earlier than the rest of you.
Got 1 loss to a freeze TOTALLY OUT OF NOWHERE.

No werewolf on field.
No things killing tokens(even there was a token).

NOTHING
I started my turn, matches 3 gems and the game froze.
Just that.
Next time I'll have to try to somehow check closely if the gems are bugged?!?!

The icing on the cake is that I won't even get top five probably.

Tokens no longer freeze the game intermittently.

More like "tokens did freeze the game under specific circumstances, now freeze the game totally at random".

It's unfortunate, but we're all dealing with freezing, horrible event matchmaking, and the usual bugs that come from new releases.

/golfclap my tinykitty down here

I wrote I finished EARLIER than anyone.
So even assuming we would end up in a tie for first(adding other players that had crash)I would be almost for sure on top.

Going from 1st to like 6th or worse cause of a random bug(not predictable or avoidable) is not funny.
Even more in this event that's at the very least exhausting to play.

What are the antihexproof commons-uncommons? I didn't open unmaking so I'm curious.
Only one I can think of is fleshbag marauder, but for 10 mana and set up I think I'll stick to aligned hedron network.

I'd think that grave birthing+ the defender 7 drop vampire+ the flip side of heir should at least buy you enough time against hexproof to finish the game at 5-6 points.

The 5 kill spells probably allows you to never use the -9 to always have 30 loyalty and being able to close the game quickly with the -18 should things go bad like harness the storm looping someexquisite forecrafts.

I read what you wrote. I was locked out of the event for more than an hour when it started, so congratulations on feeling like you accomplished something by not being affected by the horrible instability.

I have also faced your nissa, so it was probably you.

Oh yes I started right away instead cause my phone overcomes the server deficiencies.
Was more than 1 hours late here too. Like others.

Language!


I finished with a perfect win record.... er... apart from 1 game which admittedly was my fault because I foolishly assumed that an android app could run in the backround for a couple of minutes without crashing, 2 games which admittedly were my fault because I assumed I could play with my powerful cards without them crashing the game, and 1 game which admittedly was my fault because I had to go to the bathroom and wasn't wearing a catheter.
