Siege Rhino is great against Burn too, and it's also good against Miracles or any fair deck that runs creatures.

I second this. Additionally, what's the point of generating card advantage if you don't have the mana to cast all the cards you need? I haven't tested with Chrome Mox, but I've been playing a little...
Been grinding my Abzan build in locals lately, went 3-0-1 and 2-1-1 the past two events.
Last Thursday - 3-0-1
Budget Jund - 2-0
Merfolk - 2-1
Esper Mentor - 2-1
Lands - ID, played a few...
So Endless One is really good for them with Humility; Humility's effect happens in layer 7a for every creature. Counters are applied later, in layer 7d. So Endless One actually has P/T of X+1/X+1...
I got smashed by them twice in tournaments, here's what I've noticed:
Wasteland is good, but unless they miss a land drop and you can set them behind, Wasting a land actually may actually set us...
I'm trying out Retribution of the Meek in the SB.
Looks similar to my recent build.
I didn't like Drana. She's cute with all the tokens but it felt win-more.
Bitterblossom was amazing. Never felt too slow for me; part of it is acknowledging...
I never thought a mana base like this would ever make sense in Legacy, but goddamn it, it works!
Siege Rhino is great in long games against blue decks with Jace. If there's a lot of BUG in your meta, you could even consider Obstinate Baloth to combat their discard. Bitterblossom is great and...
I played 2 Painful Truths in a goofy list (on previous page) that took 3rd place in the most recent Source Cockatrice tourney. It was awesome.
Cutting ZP is obviously a meta choice. I'd still...
I miss Gerrard's Verdict. So outclassed anymore. No other card like Cursed Scroll though.
No Choke, that's one I forgot to include. He hit the Entreat every game, which was super annoying. I had Revoker (Needle probably better), 4 Decay main, no EE or Bridge. I honestly didn't think of EE...
Lost to Miracles in the Source tourney; had mana/tempo problems games 2 and 3 and he hit Entreat every game. Vent did some work with a SOFI game 1 though, which was pretty awesome. Not bad for...
I do miss playing with KOTR. He was such a boss 5 years ago. That does open up the option for a mini-land toolbox with Pendelhaven and Horizon Canopy with Bojuka Bog in the sideboard.
Also, looks...
Doesn't look like there was a lot of combo in the field. Lili would be good, maybe in a SB slot. I could add more discard to the sideboard for the combo matchup too.
Since I'm getting back into...
Just advanced into the Top 4 of the 2nd Source Cockatrice Tournament with this list, thrown together the night before the first round was posted:
21*Land
1*Forest
1*Plains
2*Swamp
1*Bayou...
Might want to find room for an Oblivion Ring or two if you need a Vindicate-style effect with Strangler. Depends on how often you find yourself with an opponent with an empty exile zone.
I'm loving the look of Drana so far. Bitterblossom seems awesome with her.
Tutelage combines with Top to allow free cards.
I tried running Mom, it was the worst decision I ever made. Zoo always had the removal for her before I could use her, and every time I wished I had something that did more than just sit there and...
I forgot he wasn't running Nighthawks. Your creature suite should be something like:
4 Goyf
4 Bob
2-4 Nighthawk
2-4 Gatekeeper
Grunt seems ok, I just feel like if you're going to extend your mana to include Bayous, Goyf is better. Grunt is too easy to play around for Reanimator/Survival (plus against Survival, the cards you...
Ugh......any more than 61 cards and it's not a real deck. (Unless it's a Battle of Wits deck)
No Goyf in that G-splash list. =(
SOLS proved to be very useful for me. The lifegain helps with Bob, as well as getting back dudes.
