Last weekend, I tried a build with Careful Study in a 20 player tournament. To cut a long story short, I'll go back to Ponder.

@Koby:
You're right that more Griselbrands raise the percentage to discard one via Thoughtseize or Therapy. But adding Study enables even more starting hands. I'm far away from saying that Study...
After reading Vad_'s post, I just goldfished a Careful Study build around 60 times. It's definately worse at digging for specific cards, but it produces so much more keepable hands. Maybe 2 LDVs can...
After a not so glorious 4-4 finish in Strasbourg, here is a short report.
Because I had to work, we couldn’t go there on Friday. So we did the ride to Strasbourg on Saturday at 3am, arriving at...
After some testing last weekend, I totally agree.
I've also come to a point where I don't like Reverent Silence in the UW Miracle matchup. I'll play a third Abrupt Decay in that slot. While...
I'm still testing the Intuition. I think it's a close call between Intuition and LDV. Intuition into 3 Griselbrand or 2 Grisel and 1 Child costs as much mana as LDV into Entomb, but LDV/Entomb can be...
That's the list I'll probably play at GP Strasbourg:
2 Griselbrand
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
1 Children of Korlis
1 Tendrils of Agony
4 Entomb
3 Goryo's Vengeance
4 Shallow Grave
After testing Lim-Dul's Vault during two tournaments and a couple of test games, I'll cut it again.
The effect definately *is* awesome but it's too expensive in the long run. It shines in the games...
Ok, it makes sense this way.
I think I'll try the Realm out next weekend. Besides removing multiple hate enchantments or creatures, phasing out lands to shut off countermagic and then go off with...
Maybe I'm getting it wrong, but how does Teferi's Realm help against a Geist?
During your upkeep you choose creatures -> Geist phases out.
In your opponent's next untap, Geist phases in again and...
Just another report, testing Lim-Dul's Vault:
The List:
4 Polluted Delta
2 Verdant Catacombs
2 Underground Sea
1 Bayou
1 Scrubland
1 Swamp
Tin Fins just forced me to create an account. ;)
After winning our local tournament with the deck last week, I decided to take it to a GP Trial for Strasbourg today. It didn’t end so well.
That’s...
