    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    I've been off the deck for a while (think it's actually fine now that grixis is less prevalent, just playing other things), but saw an interesting list finished 3rd-4th at a 44-person tourney in...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    First off, thank you to Fenrus for the thorough Gdoc and Jesure for the great tournament write-up - excellent excellent content. I'm with Fenrus that Mono-R feels awful. In theory, it seems like we...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Most builds play 6-7 pump spells (in addition to 4 Invigorate), and the configuration depends on how aggressive you want to be. 3 Vines, 2 Berserk, 1 BI is the most common (and what I play). I feel...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Put the poison crew back together for a local 4-rounder. Post-ban, this is what I want to be playing - powerful, proactive, and relatively under-the-radar. My sense is that people have forgotten how...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Play more Jitte. With 3 TNN, I'd want 1 MD and an additional in the board.

    I love the 2x Marsh Casualties in my board for DnT/TNN/Pyro/Elves, but Dread is def better vs. DnT specifically. I do...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Not having watched the entire game, I would force here. We generally lose this matchup by getting burned or aggro'd out, not by getting out-carded. TNN severely hampers their aggro plan (esp. b/c you...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Hey, picked up the deck b/c it looked sweet and rode it to 2nd place at a ~30 person tournament. Had very little time to test matchups, so took one of Hausmann's lists...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    I've seen some chatter around this card, but I honestly don't see it. Flexibility can be hard to value correctly, but a sometimes-Dispel, most-of-the-time-Cancel seems a big step down from...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    I played 3 trop + 1 island for a while and I would strongly recommend against 2 island. I'd replace with breeding pool if you can (unless you see a lot of Blood Moon, it's almost always better than...

    Re: [Deck] Grixis Control / Thieves

    I've been running this deck at my locals to some success (4-0 last night, many 3-1s). Basically Dagen's, but with -1 Angler, -2 Preordain, +3 Snapcaster, which does help grind better.

    6 discard...

    Re: [Deck] Solidarity

    First off, much thanks to Seraphus for the lists -- during the DTT-era, I had more fun with this deck than I've ever had and as soon as I saw the Top ban, I started thinking about picking it up again...

    Re: New to Legacy (3 deck ideas)

    First off, welcome to the format! Legacy is great, but can be very punishing when you're starting out (hence all the suggestions to start playing with a known and reliable deck). It's best when...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    I think that's a wise change -- the deck can very green-hungry. Your best t1 plays are G, you can't free-cast Invigorate without a forest (so it's v. nice to have an un-wasteable one), and you need...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    I played around this for a while because Meekstone is one of those cards that's abstractly powerful (and one-sided for us!) but it never played out as powerful as I hoped. They always get to attack...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    I agree with Neffy :)

    I think it's play/draw dependent vs. Eldrazi, where T1 Elf, T2 Library is a busted start on the play, but doesn't match up well against a T1 Chalice if you're on the draw....

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    I play a stock U/G build with 4x FoW and Sylvan Library main. My strategy is +2 Surgical, +1-2 Grip, +1 Bog, +1 Crop Rot, +1 Needle, +1 Wasteland, taking out 3x Daze, 3x Probe, and 1-2x Pierce. I'd...
