videos are great!

Did you record some game with David Gomez's Survival deck? coz it looks so weird and kick ass ;) I'm a big fan of his deck and the results he get with.

It's a marvellous play as you can replay your leader and get again a bunch of gobs, so why not? I don't see the missplay here...

I don't think the other point you mention are big missplay....

Istead of Hellkite why not playing Terastodon? With anger in grave it can be KA and it can solve some unwinable situations

n°1 Genesis is a creature, synergy with SotF --> search for it, 1copy of stronghold is only random (i know it will come in long game where it shines but genesis comes when you need it), if you want...

I would make the same changes as Muela (Genesis is an autoinclude in such a deck, it's way better than Stronghold).

I tried Bloodbraid too, but it was always a "too much", usually you don't need...

I've not seen that like you Muela, but you convinced me! SDT is way better than guile which is better than library.

But i stay on my position which is aggro build of Survival doesn't require SDT...

Thats the point. If you play Pdeed SDT > mirri or sylvan orherwise i think they are almost equal, 'coz SDT is hardly unkillable but mirri and sylvan will get some disenchant and save your survival?

I made 3-1-1 top4 and split in final last sunday at a 13ppl tournament.

I packed a Wuascht Survival with Hypnotist like M. Thiel at BOM.

R1: nuno (a friend) with enchantress
G1 and 2 are the...

sadistic hypno give so much synergy!!! with Pdeed its a wincon almost! you can sac rector to fetch deed and empty opp hand and board!

This deck made top 16 at the BOM 4 in Annecy ~500 players: (Source:http://www.elsantuario.es/foro/index.php?topic=7015.0

Top16 - Michael Thiel - BGW Survival

Veteran explorer: i use it when i have to face a lot of land disturption (canathresh,pox,gob,merfolk) but those day theres much more combo and aggro-controle deck where explorer doesnt shine....

I'm not convinced of Vial in rock survival if you play Pernicious deed.

Here my last build:

// Lands
1 Scrubland
3 Bayou
1 Plains
1 Swamp
4 Verdant Catacombs

Totally agree with Tao! Iona cannot be replaced in this slot. It's too constraining to have Retainers in play before discarding The Monster. And for me is not event better on battlefield. Sure it's...

I started with 4BoP and 1 Exporer as survival target. I ended (after 2-3 weeks of moderate testing) with 2 birds and 4 explorer. I play 4 cabal therapy, 3 Pernicious Deed, 1 Diabolic Intent (in...

I tried veteran explorer in my GBw rock sur and it works really well against AggroLoam, Loaming shaman too :-)

Veteran explorer are just insane in the place of BoP, it speed up the game, and...

@ crow_mw: nice analyse, like you i prefer "Rock" version as it has better MU vs merfolk. The big issue for Survival is as usual beying a Noway against combo. The main reason i prefer Rock version is...

Hi, thanks for your report, it's always good to hear some Survival results.

Questions: why 2 Vial? how good was it? for me PDeed is better than Vial, but let me know your thoughts

how was the...

Nice to see this deck in a Top8. Could you post a report? which MU you played?...

I like this deck a lot, but i think he's too slow in the actual metagame.

IMHO Perish is a must in RB list, but duress and squad... i don't like them.

I think RB list has more problem against Merfolk due to Wasteland, Goblins deck need a lot of mana and if you start to...

@SDT and Mirri's guile: Why not playing Bob instead? I explain my thought:
-Bob is a creature, better synergy with SotF.
-Bob provides CA and if not answered quickly he wins you games.

Do you...

One answer is to side out BT

Why not playing 1 plains and 1 swamp? they are really good in mana fixer slots. You can get them with 8 fetches (4 catacombs and 4 heath). I think you play too much duals. I would run 3 bayou, 2...

just a brainfart...adding a nice life combo: Saffi Eriksdotter + Retainers + soul warden...
huh maybe overkill :-)

Well your deck sounds strong. I'll test it, but i don't like not having black...

I have a question about Thorn of Amethyst.

In which MU do you use it?

For me it's usefull against ANT, Belcher, Solidarity, Burn, Enchantress, Landstill, Canadian *****, Ichorid, ....

Maybe...
