Still on the Flame Rift debate, wouldn't Chain of Plasma be better than both Rift and Hammer? It's instant speed and I like instants, oh and it hits creatures and you don't take 4 damage.

Rebuild is in the board mainly because of Chalice. At 1 mana you have Chain of Vapor, at 2 mana, Hurykl's Recall, and at 3 you have Rebuild, because you need some solid bounce against CotV, and...

Boil should be used during their turn, making them have to use Turnabouts as their only untap effect to go off, or should be cast during their combo. Remember, Boil is an instant, and should be used...

Taking out a land in a deck that can run as low as 19 lands for a 2G spell just doesn't seem like it would work. Also, if you are running 3 Vials, -1 Vial is simply just out of the question, as the...

The reason Food Chain was so powerful was because of stacking your deck with Recruiter and going off and gaining crazy amounts of mana until you finally overwhelmed them.

Now, you have a...

Wow. I just watched a thread go from a tourney planner to an American Language rant in approximately
3 pages, that was awesome! Anyways, this tournament excites me, but arg I might have to choose...

Wow, this deck seems....really...really strong. Hats off to you here. Are you positive cutting the Intuitions is a good idea? Mask is good, but I still think Intuition deserves some spots. The...

@1 It's still 4 mana, while Bouncer is 2.
@2 This is true, but it isn't fast removal, and usually wont kill things higher than a toughness of 2, while Bouncer can bounce them.
@3 This is true, but...

I think that usually this will sit in your hand and be discarded to a Mongrel to keep it alive. I usually get 4 lands around turn 5-6, because of Wastelands and other things, and the idea of tapping...

The fact that Masticore is a forced outlet doesn't make it very appealing. On top of that, he's 4 mana, and is very mana intensive, and U/G Madness lacks the resources needed to make Masticore...

Well, just to note Blastoderm is a 4cc Creature.

It would seem to me since you are running Troll's that you might want to concider BoP's to fuel the early Troll, like Wearbears do for Blastoderms.

Has anyone concidered +1 Bouncer -1 Naturalize? This is a pure metagame decision, but I plan on seeing alot of aggro in the future and was wondering if anyone has tested this. Thoughts?

LOL, I played against this guy, he went insane when I Fire/Ice'd his Sorcerer, and was like what scrub plays that CARD, then switched decks to Soildarity and he tried to counter my Brain Freeze, with...

I was thinking of FtK as well. Maybe like 2 REciprocate also. I'd go as far as to say that Madness is by far this decks worse matchup, barring Belcher and other combo decks.

Reprisal would be reserved for mainly killing Wurms, so you dont have to waste StPs on them, and can use them on Mongrels.

I still say we shouldn't be going the Worship route, as Naturalize is bad news, and most U/G are running them MD. I'm thinking maybe something like FTK or Reprisal, or maybe Needlestorm.

Although Night Soil hits dorks, it has to hit 2, and dies to Naturalize, and costs a mana to activate, all just for making a 1/1. I'm thinking Tormod's Crypt could work, and so would Needle Storm. ...

I just tested 10 matches pre-board against U/G Madness, and lost 8. Their counters and 4/4 Trampling Flyers are tough, and Mongrel is horrible news. We need something to improve the U/G Matchup.

The Legionnaires just seemed like an overcosted burn spell most of the time, and you had to wait until turn 3 for him to be even that. I just don't think he was cutting it. In testing im around...

Exactly. I stopped running Legionnaires because the Blurred Mongoose seemed to be working better, and that took up my 2 CC slot, so i had to move something down or up being either Troll or Fanatic,...

The deck doesn't have mana problems, its just the Legionnaire's made the 2 mana drops on the curve a little much. With Fanatic, you have 4 Mongoose and 4 Fanatic as your 1 drop creatures.

Yeah, I'm more of a fan of Werebear turn 2. Also, they're are too many 2 mana cards for the curve, so the Fanatics work better.

I think that there needs to be -1 Forest +1 Trop for Ice puposes.
I've been testing David's version, as well as Obfuscate's. Ob's has been working better so far, and I've decided to cut the Trolls...

I've been testing this deck, and the Blurred Mongoose is working alot better than the Trolls. Troll just wasn't cutting it at 3 CC.

There's only 3 Disenchants MD, so I might get 1 in 1 out of 3 games in my opening hand. The first game is very rough, but you can board in the 4th Disenchant and that helps a little bit. But if...
