Maybe throw in some Delvers and Deathrite Shamans too.
@Parcher:
I like the all basics approach but I think you need at least one Mikokoro in there. It is a good land to act a mine if decks are slow and casting Thoughtseize+Abrupt Decays on your mines....
Hey Mike. I've been goofing around with 8 rack/pox deck lately in modern but this deck looks like even more fun. Reminds me of the old Time Sieve/Open the Vault deck from standard of years ago.
...
Not surprised that Bertoncini "drew" all the perfect cards against you.
Something we have been asking for, for awhile now? We might finally be getting Force of Will and/or Wasteland. But it won't matter(this segways into the something new).
Something they have...
Battle of the Wits.
If I were to play Dread Return it would be in a similar deck list as you posted.
I think Dread Returnless is the way to go at the moment, but that is just my opinion and wouldn't be shocked to...
I would not try and find a balance. I would either go for the combo kill in deck with 2-3 dread returns+flayer+Grizzlebrand or do just 0-1 dread returns only. The reason being that when you try and...
Ichorid trigger(s) go the stack even with no other black creatures in graveyard. You can crack Coliseum while Ichorid has trigger(s) on stack, dredge bunches then remove whatever creature(s) you...
I would have put back a Ponder and Rite of Flame, then cast Petal, Dark Rit, LED, Infernal Tutor into Empty the Warrens for 12 guys. You could even flashback Cabal Therapy to take Clique.
Between...
In a situation where RiP is resolved(against either version of dredge) then of course manaless would get hurt the most.
Manaless is dependent on its opening hand. It really shouldn't mulligan to...
LEDless used to be more common than LED dredge. When LED dredge became the norm then the land count went down making Bloodghast less played. Also, it is tough to sandbag lands in hand when using...
12 lands in Quadlazer worked fine. It was able to play around daze and activate Cephalid land fine. My deck has one less non blue card that it wants to hard cast game 1 rather than traditional...
I want to max out on Ichorids because they are good against Miracles and Deathrite Shaman.
9th gold land is unnecessary in this build. 12 lands worked fine in Quadlazer and my deck has 6 free...
Force of Will is a staple in the format for several reasons. If a deck can handle playing Force of Will(enough blue cards & won't hinder the goal of the deck) in it then it should.
I suppose the...
Here is the list I have settled on for now.
Maindeck:
4 Gemstone Mine
4 Cephalid Coliseum
4 City of Brass
4 Faithless Looting
4 Careful Study
4 Street Wraith
2 Gitaxian Probe
I think the addition of Force of Will in manaless dredge has finally made the deck competitive. Still somewhat of a glass cannon, but FoW has made the deck much more competitive.
Sadly manaless...
I think the ratings are all out of wack.
Elves is not as difficult as Storm. I don't think elves is difficult at all. I would rank elves around Death n Taxes. Like a 3. Death and Taxes has to...
Final Fortune is right, and this coming from a person who rarely agrees with him.
Cards like Nether Shadow are a waste of space in the sideboard. That is sideboard tech intended for the days of...
I would sell cards on MOTL. Ebay fees suck.
A hand with Street Wraith+Careful Study would be better than a hand with Street Wraith+Breakthrough.
One interesting thing that Drew did point out in his article is that zero mana is better than...
I think he is implying no maindeck win condition. However, despite the rampage of -1/-1 sweepers being played, a singleton Empty the Warrens is still great against the non Team American tempo decks....
I would be happy just to have Earthcraft in Legacy.
I would say that the Miracle player probably should(not necessarily would) fire off the brainstorm in their mainphase. The hand is land light and in order to have the best chance for a second land...
Mine is the same as my username here joemauer, I rarely get to play.
My computer had just crashed today :( So I won't be on for the next couple weeks.
It would be nice to set up a buddy list here...
