4th from bottom isn't necessarily a tiefling. He's a planeswalker who was human and then became a devil because he used a spell that was a bit too much for him to use.

If anything he's an A grade asshole.

He's also the worst BEST planeswalker ever.

I knew someone who made some use of him, but I don't know how exactly. Then again this same guy made decks that made everyone win or lose all at once so nobody ever really won anything against him.

most decks that cause everyone to win/lose will cause one specific person win due to how the stack works
unless its things like heartless hidetsugu+furnace of rath
**** heartless hidetsugu+furnace of rath

I know he has heartless, not sure about the furnace of rath though.

Tibalt has no upside. He's not worth playing. If you put him in a deck then you do it as a statement. "Look at me, I play this card."
#62 to #61 - halonachos (01/06/2016) [-]
Like I said, I don't know. Only thing I know is that I gave my Tibalt to him and he used it somehow.

There's always the type of wanker who -want- to use cards like Tibalt or One with Nothing or Mudhole.
#64 to #63 - halonachos (01/06/2016) [-]
This man was no wanker. The guys who wanted to win an EDH match in 3 turns with an infinite combo but bitch about someone using avacyn with worldslayer are wankers.

This man wanted to make every planeswalker useful somehow, he made decks for fun and was a real treat to play against.

BY 'wanker' I mean person. I didn't intend it negatively. Erryone wanks. Unless you don't, in which case, good for you, you wanker.
#66 to #65 - halonachos (01/06/2016) [-]
Well that's probably true. I mean I go out of my way to make decks that aren't the norm, such as black/white clerics. It's a fun deck, two infinite combos that take forever to get working and are easily preventable. Makes it so I can sleep at night knowing I'm not an asshole.

As a tournament organiser, I feel obliged to remind you that competitive players who use every tool at their disposal to win a tournament are -not- assholes. They are smart players who make good gameplay decisions. There is no 'gentleman's code' for which cards not to play in tournaments. Winning is all that matters.
People who take that competitive deck to a kitchen table where no one plays on their level just so they can stomp other players are assholes.

And I don't play competitively, I play casually with my friends. These people introduce me to others who happened to believe that a $500 deck is what you use in casual play.

I've gotten lucky against them, I've had a Tormond's crypt when I needed to shut down one and a stony silence when I needed to stop another.

Although these are the same people who didn't think that Gheist of St. Traft was a good EDH commander when I used him. Until of course he went up in price.
User avatar #69 to #68 - languagexplain ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-]
Big hint, he go down real soon.
#70 to #69 - halonachos (01/06/2016) [-]
I would expect him to get replaced for a blue/white commander. The artifact removing hexproof hurt a bit and as far as it goes he's running out of synergy options/builds.

I like him with steel of the godhead and sundial of the infinite. Then again those are the cards I had that I could throw in with him.
User avatar #71 to #70 - languagexplain ONLINE (01/06/2016) [-]
The artifact sees little to no play since arcane lighthouse/archetype of thingy were printed.
Also he's gonna go down in price because he features in the next duel deck, which usually means he'll be worth about 2€, maybe 3$

I haven't been in magic long, but I don't get the feeling he'd drop to that much. I'm going to say around $5, I also tend to be an idiot-savant with prices.

Nobody in my group expected that Sorin, Lord of Innistrad would hit around $10 or lower and that Sarkhan, Dragonspeaker would go really low.

I also said that Griselbrand and Thalia would keep good prices, much to the disbelief of this group of people who run hundred something dollar decks.

$5 maybe for an original geist, $3 for the new print.
#74 to #73 - halonachos (01/06/2016) [-]
I see the original definitely staying 5-6, the new print will of course be cheaper.

I just hope that when the new set comes out they don't put any of the starter deck cards in the boosters. I got a booster pack that had an Eater of Hope in it and a foil Eater of Hope in it as well.

Yeah but he looks the part, so if someone were to use him as inspiration I think all would be right in the world. At least he isn't Sorin Marvok who had sneaked his way into both elf posts.
#36 to #30 - halonachos (01/06/2016) [-]
Aye, but still. Magic has some awesome card art that does depict those races and when push comes to shove it seems good to use those ones.

MTG really does. They put some of their money to great use.
