2 Trolls & a Brew – ep 29 “Long A$$ Weekend”

It’s time again for another exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew,  “Long A$$ Weekend” sub title “Silent Observer……” 

Oh this episode of 2 Trolls, Samius lays out the law or the outline as it were. How well did we do? I feel like we nailed it. Let us know.  We talk about how Travis did at States over the weekend as well as how much of the PT we watched as well as the fall out from the pay changes on appearance fees. I know WotC has rolled those changed back for now but it was a big part of the show.

We look at a couple of Brain in the Jar lists
mono-blue-brains – thanks for selling out of Brains in a Jar
Dan’s List

All this and we cover “Enter the Battlefield” (spoiler alert – it was great watch it), finding alternate win cons and another email from Mathias.

Oh and it is Travis’ turn to stump Samius at the flavor text game. Do I fall or rise in glory?

Troll On!

Emma, Was this a good episode?

2 Trolls & a Brew – ep 28 “Preparing for States”

It’s time again for another exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew,  “Preparing for States” sub title “Confront the Unknown; the new Aspect of Hydra?” Really Travis? Who cares? Oh there are green magic players…. 

Oh this episode of 2 Trolls our majestic hosts carry on and on and on about new standard, the upcoming meta game, drama, more drama, money in Magic and even more drama.

Is there a reason to hate on the risk takers playing The Capitalist – MtG edition? Or can we all agree to get along, play and grow as a community?

Hey we have a decklist for you:

esperbrain

I don’t know what the best colors for a deck built around the card, Brain in the Jar, but this is where i have started and so far so good.

States vs PPTQ?
Gamer Guild in Hays KS, PPTQ

Why can’t we all just find a middle ground as well as we can? 

 

 

All this, and we use magiccards.info/random for the flavor text game.

When Trolls agree that everyone needs to calm down there is a problem.

2 Trolls & a Brew – ep – 27 “Baker’s Podcast”

It’s time again for another exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew,  “Baker’s Podcast” … for real tho, let’s talk about it. Subtitle this week “Are Werewolves Beatable?

Oh this episode of 2 Trolls our brave trolls record over and over until we get a show that sounds like we have a clue what we are doing. Hint, i sacked that clue to draw a card so we don’t have it any longer…

Decks you can just give away challenge! You are here by challenged to make a deck that is at least playable with a cost so low you can just give it to new players. Use draft chaff, commons you have 30 of, or whatever. Just be the person that can give a new player a deck at a moments notice. Keep new player retention high and be a good ambassador for the game.

I couple of decks from Travis and I as a possible starting place:
redpauper

blackpauper

I am not saying you have to make PT winning decks here, just something that gives a new player the core ideas of playing and a little nugget of a start in our game.

What Jedi Tricks are up your sleeve? Tell us. This is one i have been working on my whole life.

Starcraft Dual Decks looks super fun. 
Esper Demonic Pact
MTGgoldfish  Modern Tutelage Turbo Fog

All this, and Travis tricks me into reveling my inner monster in this weeks would you rather… What A jerk.

2 Trolls & a Brew – ep – 26 “All the Tech Issues”

It’s time again for another exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew,  “All the Tech Issues” subtitle “No really it is Bad, Sorry”

Oh this episode of 2 Trolls; the trolls battle through the tech issues as best we can. But between Travis’s mic just stopping at times and the internet dropping we are lucky to have a show at all even if it sounds like there is a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. Flop, Flop, Flop forEVER! Sorry again, Travis is getting a new headset today and we hope that fixes most of the issues.

This week’s show is mostly focused on the lessons learned at the Pre-release.  What cards where good for us? What were not? What commons and Uncommons pulled more then their weight? And what errors would we fix if we could do it all over again?

Hint:
pack-guardian-pre-order-p227608-195217_image

 

Travis thinks there is a colorless burn list in the new standard:

  • 4 herald of kozilek
  • 2 endbringer
  • 4 touch of the void
  • 4 reality hemorrhage
  • 4 consuming sinkhole
  • 4 molten nursery
  • 4 void snare
  • 4 spell shrivel
  • 3 horribly awry
  • 4 anticipate
  • 4 sea gate wreckage
  • 4 island
  • 4 shivan reed
  • 4 corrupted crossroads
  • 3 wandering fumaroil
  • 4 shrine of the…..ummmm make 2 colorless mana

It is not perfect by any means but it is a start for any FNM.
All this and more as we get into the changes hitting modern with the ban and more importantly the unban announcement, some talk about recovering from tilting out and we play a US history game of which you can take along with Travis and maybe you are more knowledgeable then the trolls.

I didn’t talk them up this week but i want to link Dan’s Go Fund Me page and the Jack Vasel Memorial Fund again this week as they are in need of your help and i know if it is right for you to give you will. Thanks for joining us and…

2 Trolls & a Brew – ep – 24 “Master of All Formats”

It’s time again for another exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew,  “Master of All Formats” subtitle “You know you can play with good cards

Oh this episode of 2 Trolls; Travis is under the weather but we are so excited to dive into the preview cards that Samius forgets that Travis is ill and leaves him to die choking on his own corn covered waste….

Somehow, a Shadows over Innistrad card is Tavis’ pick for Troll card of the week, while Samius’ is the best limited removal you can have in Oath of the Gatewatch sealed… Which leads in to the bad beat story of the week. Cry your man tears Sam. Cry them all out… 🙂

Remember Travis’ Remorseless Punishment deck? Want to know how it went this week? I know i do. And this week Samius answers Travis’ Would you rathers.. All this and more on this weeks episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew

2 Trolls & a Brew – ep – 22 “PPTQ”

It’s time again for another exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew,  “PPTQ” subtitle “Obviously I’m going to Win.

Oh this episode of 2 Trolls, Samius is under the weather but wants to dive deep on PPTQ planing. Troll cards of the week are Harbinger of the Tides and Thought-Knot Seer, do these even count as troll cards?

Is Despise a card we just want in the sideboard this weekend? Is 2 in the board vs 2 extra Duress?

Why did Samius let Remmie have the better deck for the PPTQ? Mono-Blue Eldrazi is real good. GP Detroit happened and the trolls let Detroit have it on how intolerable the city’s current condition….

Sorry for any politics we may or may not have slipped into…. #NeverTrump….

Mtgsalavation has a few Shadows over Innistrad spoilers up and Travis lets me know what i missed by not experiencing the first visit to Innistrad.

And a “creepy” would you rather in light of our upcoming journey to Innistrad.

Troll On!

2 Trolls & a Brew – ep – 21 “Who Would You be for a Day?”

It’s time again for another exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew,  “Who Would You be for a Day?” subtitle “Don’t be Salty!

Oh this episode of 2 Trolls, our heroes ask if Crush of Tentacles and Pulse of Murasa are trolly enough to be the troll card of the week. Story time leads the trolls down a path where we ask the question of level of passion should scale with how good of a sportsperson you are allowed to be?

We dive deep into the results that was GP Houston.

Top 8 Deck lists

9th -32th Deck lists

What are we playing for our upcoming PPTQs? And what is Remmis playing? Lots of options in the format and the trolls weigh in hard core.

All this and more on this week’s exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew!

2 Trolls & a Brew – ep – 20 “Wall of Resurgence is Broke Dick!”

It’s time again for another exciting episode of 2 Trolls & a Brew,  “Wall of Resurgence is Broke Dick” subtitle “Where is the land deck?

Oh this episode of 2 Trolls, our heroes look Man Lands/Creature Lands in Standard. Looks like we are in love with Wall of Resurgence this week. Just a great card in the current meta. You know what else is good in this meta? Prowess + evasion. Mtggoldfish has a sweet one for this weeks Budget Magic. Does it look like something we might have been hyping a few weeks back to you? Looks a lot like we have been selling for weeks, minus you know Zada… What can i say good brewers think alike.

Samius finally finds a top 8 deck list from a rptq this weekend, this list from ChannelFireball.com.
