    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    I'm looking forward to the report as well; I've been looking for a solid Dark Maverick list as a starting point for the deck.

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I agree that the more green cards you run the better value it is. I'm not sure who's boarding in Autumn's Veil against aggro, though.

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    You are thinking of Vine Dryad and Rushwood Legate. The first essentially still has a mana cost because you are discarding ESG (or Pact for ESG) much of the time.

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I'll be honest and say that I have not tested this card nearly as much as I should have, despite owning a copy. It's been around for a long time, though, and despite having been tested many times, it...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Thank you both for your responses.



    I think Bayou is actually a really good idea for the Mox Opal list. Sideboard space is more limited, and the deck is still trying to go off as fast as...

    Hmmm. Not a lot of activity on this thread right now.

    I've gone back and reread this thread entirely. It's about the third time I've done that over the years, and it is always interesting to see...

    Heresy of the day: PSI is no longer the fastest version of Spanish Inquisition

    Broadly speaking the historical difference between Pact Spanish Inquisition (PSI) and traditional SI (TSI) was 12...

    I actually got a chance to do some testing yesterday, with mixed results. I was facing a bunch of Wasteland decks and I really found the three colour requirements - green & blue to set up, black to...

    Re: [Deck] Solidarity

    The trouble with this approach is that Solidarity is an open ended draw engine that relies on a combination of card advantage (Meditate) and card filtering (Brainstorm) to continually find more combo...

    Re: [Deck] Solidarity

    Solidarity, irrespective of colour or transformational sideboard, is at it's heart a deck that combos out by casting a specific card - High Tide - followed by a bunch of other stuff. That means the...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Although I play PSI, this is quite similar to what my deck looks like after sideboarding. I am grudgingly coming around to the fact that Pact probably weakens the deck more than it strengthens it. I...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Swap Odious Trow for Deathrite Shaman and it's a solid starting point.

    Alternative try an updated (ie, Mox Opal) version of the Land Grant list; it's nearly as fast as PSI, but it recovers better...

    Not really. There are already times when I can't cast any more D4's due to being on 1 life (or I know they are holding Bolt, or whatever). Death Wish suffers from that same problem.

    Out of curiousity, has anyone tried adding Recross the Paths? With 0 lands, Recross the Paths is functionally another copy of Doomsday. Presumably you'd have to be pushing the T1 wins as you would...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    If you want to top-8 some mid-sized tournaments, bring Belcher. It is more consistent, and far easier to play, both of which are important in larger tournaments.

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Belcher is more stable in the sense that evaluating your opening hands is much easier. You are looking for a determinative spell chain, and you probably only have to deal with a single 'draw 1' spell...

    The only three versions worth considering are PSI, SITES and Mono B (updated for Mox Opal). Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, but PSI is easily the most vulnerable to FoW in game 1 thanks...

    I'm not sure I understand the 3/1 split on ESG/SSG. I've used 4/2, with SSG taking the place of Manamorphose. I may even go back to that, as it provides masses of Daze protection and an easy way to...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    With PSI you normally board out Summoner's Pact against blue for obvious reasons. Once you take that out, you might as well also take out Culling the Weak and your non-ESG Pact targets. That's...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I agree completely. There are a reasonable percentage of opening hands that just say 'Oops, I win' when you have IGG in your deck, which is why I have been so loath to drop it for PiF. Running both,...

    Looking at that list really drives home how much you have to give up in order to have AdN in the main. There is just so much business.
