Norin Tamad

So ayun commercial muna tayo sa profile ng mga makikisig at naggwagwapuhang mga manlalaro natin dito muna tayo sa segment ng deck review feat:
Norin - Tamad




Baket Norin?
May mas ok naman na general jan gaya ni  Godo, o kaya ay Hidetsugu?

Diskarte, Brader bawat isa sa kanila iba iba ang style.

Godo = voltron hanap mga espada, lightning greaves, pasabog lupa GG.

Hidetsugu = Haste, kalahate buhay done kalahate ulit buhay earthquake.

Napaka predictable.

Pangalawa ay consistent na 1st turn si Norin.

On turn 2, with a god hand, pwede mo ma cast si Godo o Hidetsugu. Eh samantalang second turn ni Norin Genesis Chamber lang ok na....

Sa madaling salita mas okay si Norin, wag ka na umangal letse!

Card Selection

Mana

Kardel: I've got the beast in my sight!
Snow-Covered Mountains ito dapat ang gamit natin. Dahil mountain sila, tinutulungan nila magpaputok ng cumshot ang Valakut. Dahil snow sila, naaabuso natin ang Scrying Sheets na pang draw engine.

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle panghabol sa mid to late game. Basta makalima na mountain ka boundary ka na hahahaha.

 Kher Keep instant blocker o dagdag bilang para sa warp world kapag wala kang magawa sa mana mo o kaya naman draw engine para sa Skullclamp. Or pang trade din gamit ang Confusion in the Ranks, Oi pre okay yang creature mo ah peram naman muna.

Darksteel Citadel at Great Furnace.  Ang silbi nila? Confusion in the Ranks, Oi pre okay yang gilded lotus mo ah palit tayo eto munang citadel sayo.


Mana-artifacts



Sol Ring, Grim Monolith, Mana Vault, Darksteel Ingot, Basalt Monolith, Thran Dynamo, at Gilded Lotus. Sa ngayon pero di ako kuntento aayusin ko pa ang mana artifacts ko gusto ko sana lagyan ng Mana Crypt para dagdag trigger sa Chance Encounter kaso maraming bata ang nagugutom sa panahon ngayon kaya yan muna hahahha.




Non-Mana Artifacts



Umpisahan natin paborito ko - Cloudstone Curio weird. Wala naman talaga pakialam ang pula sa recursion ng creatures tulad ng itim. pero dahil sa mga card gaya ng  Zealous Conscripts or Goblin Matron kada turn, ay abot kamay natin ang mga pangarap natin.

Genesis Chamber - Card na mapapamura ang kalaban kapag naibaba ng 1st turn ang general at 2nd turn ito. Nakakatuwa pag may kasamang  Confusion in the Ranks o Skullclamp sa play.


Sculpting Steel hindi pwedeng mawala sa bawat EDH deck ito. "Ayus yang blightsteel mo ah... pakopya nga."



Dahil pula tayo mabilis maubos kamay natin kaya kelangan ng draw engine. Pero dahil mang asar ang concept ng deck broken na draw engine din kabet natin. Memory Jar I choose you!Imaginin mo na lang meron ka nito Goblin Welder, tapos madami kang token dahil sa Genesis Chamber.
Pero dagdagan pa natin ng nakakainis na draw engine yung tipong malalim ang Hukayan. Teferi's Puzzle Box. Sigurado mapepeste yung mga mahilig magipit ng baraha.


Creatures

Dahil pula tayo creature base natin mga goblin. YEah!

 Squee, Goblin Nabob. 4 mana draw two cards via Skullclamp

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker masaya sana to sa deck kaso wala pa ako neto eh buying ako nyan.

Lamang tayo lagi dapat kung hindi man dapat malinis ang board sa mga creatures.

memory jar, jar, jar, jar........

Removal natin tropa Goblin Assassin, Siege-Gang Commander, at Zealous Conscripts. Pero pinaka MVP si Goblin Assassin, Lalo na kapag me krenko sa play wahahahahah.

Goblin Welder malakas to maski sa legacy at vintage gamit to eh sa EDH pa kaya? hahahaha

Madami tayong maaabuso jan Memory Jar, at Duplicant. Alalahanin me factory tayo ng artifacts via Genesis Chamber.

Magus of the Moon. It would be a shame if your Duals turn into basic mountains......

Moggcatcher toolbox well panghanap natin ng mga goblin since wala pa tayo gamble. Masaya din kasi end of turn Krenko Mob Boss, o kaya Siege-Gang Commander. Not bad... Not Bad.

Heto pa ang isa si.

O sige utusan mo syang patayin yung sa kalaban tapos tap mo lang si Homeward Path para bumalik sa kanyang tahanan si Starke. There there Starke, I knew you will be back.

Planeswalkers



Chandra

+1: Paulit ulit pag hawak mo si Squee, Goblin Nabob.

-2: Halinang mambarag ng kamay!!!

-7: Di umaabot dito si Chandra, at wala di naman maaabuso dito

Enchantments

Heto na ang lakas ni Norin sa larangan ng EDH.

Unang una ang bangungot ng mga 5C decks. Blood Moon, Wow astig naman yang Child of Alara deck mo teka, good ba tong blood moon?



Planar Chaos Woohoo panalo na naman ako sa flip! Naiinip ka na ba?

Grip of Chaos Target ba kamo?

Pandemonium at Warstorm Surge.  Genesis Chamber tokens at kapag narinig mo nang sumigaw si Norin ng "Honey!!! I'm Home!!!"


But there remains one more Norin Enchantment. One that strikes fear in the heart of opponents. One that makes little kids cry when they hear it's name spoken. Confusion in the Ranks is by far the best card ever printed for Chaos and Norin. It reads: At the end of every turn, steal the best creature on the field. If that creature is an eldrazi or an iona, laugh at target player. Ipamigay mo si norin sa kalaban at pag nawala sya babalik sa control mo. "Get back in your room, Norin!"



Masayang pang ipit ang Stranglehold tutor ka ba ser? Wahahaha


Instants

Karamihan dito pang redirect ng target o kaya naman ay pangopya ng spell.

Sorceries

Ang mga card na sumusunod ay pang linis ng board o maaaring instant WinCon ng deck.

"Warp World" - Short for "Rage Quit"
"Insurrection" - Hi can i borrow?
"Obliterate"
"Jokulhaups" 


The best dito yung me Furnace of Rath, Repercussion, madaming creatures kalaban, tapos hihirit ka ng blasphemous act. OVER 520 DAMAGE SER!!

Try ko din ireport ang iba pang deck pag napagtripan ko hahaha.

It's Miller Time!!


Hear Ye! Hear Ye! It's that Magical time again when players specially those Limited players to rejoice.

Pre-release events for GATECRASH are on!!!!

Procedures are pretty much the same as the previous expansion. Player will choose which guild he/she wishes to be associated with. As for me, I chose the guild I am most confortable with. House Dimir. Even though it is pretty obvious that the guild lacks offensive power, the guild makes up for their defensive maneuvers to make sure that you deplete their library.

Anyway moving forward, the cardpool i received was crap. Created a UBW deck.

Round 1 vs Boros
Totally whacked by the battalion mechanic. It was a sweep. 0-2

Round 2 vs Boros
Again same story it seems like my deck was no contest for Boros in this event (Madcap Skills took my interest). 0-2

Round 3 vs Dimir
This guy was a new player, he doesn't even know how to work his deck. Owned him 2-0

Round 4 vs Dimir

I won the roll Played "Blind Obedience" on my 2nd turn, Kingpins pet on 3rd and fourth turn. Seeing that he has no answer for my flyers, Game 1 was mine.

Next round was interesting
It was a battle of Consuming Abberation. "How big is yours?" seems to be the title of this match. It seems like the game was in my favor thanks to supporting cards like Paranoid Delusions, Grisly Spectacle, Balustrade Spy, and Undercity Informer. Won by Library Death, way to end an event using House DImir. :)

I won two booster packs in the end, Guess what i got? Watery Grave.

I am a fan of this guild but sadly, it seems like it wont be a competitive deck in the current standard format (Crosses Fingers). Anyway I am planning to build a deck for Gruul having this card as one of the core components

-Turn 1: Forest, Experiment One (new Simic creature from GTC, 1/1 Evolve for g )
-Turn 2: Mountain, Burning Tree Emissary -> add rg -> Experiment One evolves (2/2), play Flinthoof Boar, Experiment One evolves (3/3), swing for 3
-Turn 3: Swing for 8 with creatures, burn opponent's face off with spells.   
OR

-Turn 1: Forest, Arbor Elf
-Turn 2: Mountain, Burning Tree Emissary -> add rg -> Burning Tree Emissary -> add rg -> Burning Tree Emissary -> add rg -> Burning Tree Emissary -> add rg Untap g using Arbor Elf -> Hellraiser Goblin -> Swing for 10 look at opponents eye and say: SUP?!





 This card might see play in modern, or legacy combos. Alluren + BTE.

Modern Storm
Example "storm" combo:
Turn 3, 2 Vial counters
vial in Burning-Tree Emissary 3GR
cast Coal Stoker GRRR
cast Priest of Urabrask GRRR
cast Nest Invader RR
kick Goblin Bushwhacker -> 16 points of power

Anyway I'll think of decks to brew centered on this card and we will discuss it next time. Ta-Ta!
