Great to finally meet you Wilkin. I manage to make at least one embarrassing faux pas in every big tournament I attend!

This also filters which I feel like some people are missing. We don't have Top anymore either. Has GY synergy for Souls and Therapy if you run it. I think it's close but 1B for the effect will be...

I don't think it's that bad, honestly. Not sure how many or mainboard/sideboard but seems very strong in certain matchups. Can Threshold let you untap with it? Also, Lingering Souls/Therapy have nice...

If DRS is banned, I think this deck is a good fit for Deadeye Tracker. hitting all your land drops and binning Lingering Souls while nuking their GY seems insane.

I had both. List from gate thread: http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?16885-Deck-The-Gate&p=990543&viewfull=1#post990543

I forgot about Yahenni's Expertise, that's a pretty good...

Vehicles got a huge boost when Top was banned because now it's nearly impossible to Terminus on your turn. I can see them creeping into Legacy now.

I actually had a mostly black deck that used...

I can see a rationale for not playing DRS (as good as it is there are other ways to build decks). But I don't think this is the optimal build. I don't think there's enough combo to justify going this...

Thalia, Heretic Cathar too. I plan on assembling it when I get some new cards in the mail and/or stop losing with Jund. Meta here is light on fast combo and Miracles so it's like midrange heaven...

I think this card is as good as the rest of the deck can be against Miracles and Eldrazi.

If you untap with 3 mana available vs. storm in this deck you probably were going to win anyway. It does...

Deathrite Shaman

This one survives Massacre too so basically we should never lose to storm again ever

4 Hypnotic Specter build top-8d CardKingdom 1K this weekend.

Just FYI, I just noticed that we missed the 10th anniversary of this thread/deck by a few days. The thread started on 11/15/2005, and the GP where Pikula got second was two days earlier.

Kind of...

I agree, plus Zealous Persecution with Mentor/Souls gets wild fast. Not to mention any Sorin.

There just seems to be a lot of ways to build a Mentor version, and not enough people working on the...

Historically the reason to stay away from Tombstalker was Dark Confidant. If you're going to risk doming yourself for 7, might as well risk 8 and at least get flying out of the deal. At least you...

I actually thought that day 2 DGA deck was you, Wilkin, haha.

As some who has played this deck and Grixis Pyromancer, I would say the key to beating it from DGA's side is to Wasteland off red as...

In addition, with YP, TNN and delve creatures, Decay isn't great against Grixis, plus it's close to 100% dead vs. Omnitell (where at least CJ and Vindicate can give you something to do).

It's...

Bahra, have you considered Vindicate over Council's Judgment? I feel like the cases where you want CJ (TNN, opposing Mom), you have other outs, while the ability to blow out your opponent's mana or...

I know Megadeus has been talking about trying 4 Mom + 4 DRS decks for a while. I like this build. Mom is crucial for protecting our real threats, which are SFM/Bob/Sculler, against Bolt decks -- but...

Playing grixis control the other night, I got nuked into oblivion by this deck, and I had a smile on my face the whole time. That's what I deserve.

Same player from my LGS who made day 2 of GPNJ...

Nice report Pete. Congrats.

Regarding Miracles: I've always felt counterbalance was the biggest problem, because we can race Entreat by going after their mana base and we have good threat density...

How would you board vs. Miracles, Matt? They have so many bombs vs. us: CB, Jace, Entreat, Terminus, and whatever else they've decided to play.

I noticed no Needle in your 75, which is unusual...

3 Thalias main with 3 Souls, 3 Liliana, 3 Decay, 2 Hymn and a Council's Judgment is either insane or genius. Chrome Mox in that list might help though.

There are no other Abrupt Decay decks in the...

Do you play against Miracles often? If not, how do I find the events you play in?
