Despite the DQ, Matt Kuranda ran it back to an 8th place finish with a U/W list that ran two Search for Azcanta and two Unexpectedly Absent.
...
I'm beginning to think Mentor is better than EtA because it allows you to go as fast or slow as you want. This Johannes Gutbrod list looks really exciting because you can play a fast G1 against...
Congrats to Kobayashi Tatsuumi for their win at the GP Kyoto side event, I think 209 players is the largest paper event Miracles has taken down yet although I'm not certain.
Would it be most...
I like to scoop fast and try to convince them I'm on UWx Stoneblade if they don't completely brick. Say something like "Well, the only way I'm winning Game 1 is if I get a super fast Jitte on...
Moat is a fine SB card for an Eldrazi-heavy meta.
Esper Miracles w/ Thoughtseize sounds like a straight-up combo muncher. It seems bad in a meta with a lot of fair decks.
If B2B was of a higher power level than Blood Moon, it would be harder to justify splashing red, since the deck's manabase has become a bit more shaky post-ban. Blood Moon is more powerful than...
Two ideas:
1) run a 1-of Ramunap Excavator for the mana denial plan since he is GSZ-tutorable
2) replace both Loams with Ramunap Excavator
I like the list that Mitchell and Mzfroste are playing. 3 Jace 3 Snapcaster helps the card advantage situation, two Engineered Explosives provide options against small men, and the 2 bolts are...
Wasn't Ensnaring Bridge used as an oldschool anti-Sneak & Show card? It will make them dig for an Echoing Truth unless they're Omni-Tell, and I can't help but feel like there is no way Lands can...
Your list needs Thoughtseize for this meta. Combo is absolutely a thing and a turn 1 play is going to be critical against decks like ANT.
Endless Sands seems interesting in Eldrazi as an anti-boardwipe card.
Here's a potentially dumb idea: what if we replaced UA with Detention Sphere? Detention Sphere only requires one white, is very good against Chalice, saves cards vs. Reality Smasher, stops Show ->...
Are you already running 4 swords? Blessed Alliance is very mana-intensive and the 4 life seems underwhelming vs. Burn.
This deck seems like a chunky, unwieldy version of Grixis Delver with a somewhat better lategame.
Isn't Warmth better than Chill? I feel like Burn can just sit and accumulate mana for a few turns and then wipe us out with a Chill in play, but a Warmth or Kor Firewalker really starts punishing...
I am playing bum_man's list except I run 2x Volc instead of the Karakas and a board with Moons and Canonists instead of Meddling Mages. I'm not sure about Wear/Tear: we have 2 maindeck ways of...
Mzfroste is playing 2 terminus but ItIsUnfair and ozmanosguney are both playing the full 4 terminus + Entreat, I still think the deck will be called "Miracles" even if there's only two. We still...
I thought the worst matchups were Burn, 12 Post, and decks with both Loam/Punishing Fire, personally.
As for MBT, it is a fine card only in the Storm matchup. You can diversify your hate to make...
Collective Brutality exists as burn hate. You grab a burn spell, kill a weenie, and gain 2 by trading the two worst cards in your hand. The net result of this transaction is the burn deck being...
Have we reached a consensus on the number of UAs and STPs? There seems to be 3UA/2STP lists and 2UA/3STP lists. I have been playing 3UA/2STP and UA is a chunky spell for certain but helps us...
I think it might be worth testing to play 2x Mystic Gate in the UW build and cut two Islands, or maybe cut one Tundra and one Island. The Gate allows us to play WW on turn 2 and UU on turn 3, or...
I actually play Unexpected Miracles and have sidelined Grixis for it for the time being (not because I think it's better-it's not, but because I enjoy it more). TNN is only average against the...
How does everyone feel about Engineered Explosives? It saw some play in pre-ban builds. I like the card a lot: does the shift from UWR to UW affect its viability? Critical 3-drops that are no...
Memory Lapse seems good against storm but it sounds awful against something like Sneak Attack if they're just going to get to recast it next turn.
