CHK In Extended?

[E- RIDER]

What CHK cards do you predict seeing in your Extended game? Will there be a lot? Will Samurai of the Pale Curtain or Night of Souls' Betrayal make appearances? Does Glimpse-combo have a home in Ext?

What do you think?

scorce
brainburst

That's a good one to flag. Rock deck will likely start running it over Engineered Plague to deal with the varied attack of RDW, not to mention its power in hosing Affinity's main core.

maybe this guy in madness? i dunno

[passerby]

Distres is a little mor powerful then dures it could see play along with gifts too Its good in reanimator decks
who knows maybe the unspeakable

I don't think Pale Curtain will make the grade. Planar Void will do the trick at a cost of only one Black. I've been running it in my Rock board for a while. It was good against Madness, Tog and Reanimator.

firstly, i think that extraction will be huge on sb for a lot of black running decks, but i don't think Night of Soul's betyrayl will do becasue its legendary. lots of plagues do lots of damage, but lots of NOSB die.

secondly, you guys should become members with passwords and names and stuff. come on guys! commit to the site

thirdly, you guys should all join Team Flaming Munchkins

First up, I think that Extractions have a home maindeck, where they increase your matchups against combo significantly.

Now, I think Night is very powerful. It generates card advantage against RDW and affinity like these guys stated. One thing you have to consider, Andy, is that Engineered Plague requires a creature type. Artifact Creatures usually don't have one. I would at least replace one Plague with a Night. Doesn't that seem fair and balanced?

[BIGD]

a lot of the things being talked about have alot to do wiht wut format is being played - i assume for the plague NOSB thing is being talked about for extended in which case the argument that affinity will beat up on a deck running plague and not NOSB is not really a good one because affinity sucks in extended additionally plague is still useful as a way to kill diciples and meddling mages(if you can land two) - those are kinda minor perks but the real deal is that if you are runnig a good deck you will beat affinity and if you don't you will probably not do very well the rest of the tourney

[ExaltedShadowmage]

dude, Affinity won the extended Pro Tour this year, so it s not exactly a non-existant threat. your thinking is exactly what allowed it to win.

and as for Night of Soul's Betrayl, what are you going to use it on? affinity? you are going to maindeck it? then i will laugh when Madness Naturalizes it, Rock deeds it away, and scepter chant just laughs long and hard.

plus it costs one more. so while red deck wins and goblins are taking you to 4 life, you are waiting patiently for your NOSB to save you. you play it, and they sharpshoot you to death.

it can be good in certain circumstacnes, but it doesn't have what it takes to be played

[Jameson]

SIDEBOARD. Duhhh.

That's where I run it. I've landed it against RDW and won really badly. Believe me, it works. You don't need to land multiples, because it does the trick of Plague for all creatures. That's why you run both. Then, you can board in Plagues if you need them too. Night is sideboard. DUH.

I'm not a freaking retard.

[ExaltedShadowmage]

nah dude i wasn't implying that you were retarded you just seem to want to run what i would consider a substandard card in a lot of your decklists. in RDW, tangle wire will pop out against you way before NOSB in the majority of you matches. and i think that devoting slots to both Plague and NOSB is not that bright because it takes away forcus from other threatening decks.

[Jameson]

Those guys are good against all aggro-type decks, though.

[ExaltedShadowmage]

ALRIGHT, i hereby proclaim that NOSB is a....gasp.....GOOD.....card.
