I was disastisfied w my old RGW loam control list, bc devastating dreams has lost a lot of its punch w decline in goblins and rise of loam-mirrors. even thresh is playing bigger creatures now w tgoyf and dryads. Ive never liked burning wish and gamble, so now theres effectively no reason to play red.so I basicaly started over and came up w a GUB list thats working great
4 p delta
1 bayou
2 trop
1 u-sea
2 forest
2 island
2 swamp
1 tomb urborg
2 thicket
1 sandbar
1 barren moor
1 volrath stronghold
1 academy ruin
1 waste
4 mox D
2 chromox
4 tribe elder
4 intuition
4 brainstorm
4 shriekmaw
4 tgoyf
1 gloomdrifter
1 augur skulls
1 razormane
1 tormod
1 engineer explosives
1 braids
1 e witness
3 loam
1 viridian zealot
1 maze ith
side
4 duress
3 extirpate
2 douse
1 tabernacle
1 trinisphere
3 krosan grip
1 loaming shaman
brainstorm is like recall in this deck when loam is in the yard. you draw 3 cards you want, then put back 2 lands, dredge them and get them in your hand anyway. casting intuition is frequently game over against agro decks, or decks w large vulnerabilities to certain hate, ie ichorid (loam+acadruins+tormod). unstoppable creature slaughtering engines, like gloomdrifter vs goblins, or shriek recursion vs tgoyfs/tvores. iggy is dicy game 1, but becomes quite favorable after board w duress, extirpate and trisphere.
landstill is surprisingly good matchup compared to older loam builds. augur recursion goes the distance.
