Hi LDX!
I've written a little guidance below; I hope it helps! I'm a little rushed at the moment, so I don't have time to go into too much detail. Apologies if it is a little curt:
There is no...
I deviate between 'Peter' and 'Lemnear'. Do you have a preference?
Very excited for GP Lille in a few weeks! I'm attending a GPT for it tomorrow in Dublin; hopefully it goes well!
I'm giving...
Let me guess - another American 'expression' I'm not familiar with...
Firstly, I've said this before and i'll reiterate - I'd rather have access to a virtual 7 Infernal Tutor than 4. To me, that's the main reason to have it in the sideboard. In many situations, Burning...
For all my chatter here yesterday, I failed to mention that I'm pleased with the list I've been playing. I'm playing the same 75 Bryant has posted above. As I mentioned yesterday, the only...
I agree with you in principle, I was just trying to find something to do with that extra sideboard slot (in a non-basic list). It's not like the 3rd Chrome Mox is amazing either.
I don't want to...
Updated my post from earlier today with some additional thoughts; eager to hear a few more opinions!
I didn't think Pyroclasm was for the Miracles match-up - I just meant that choosing the 3rd Swarm + X seemed worse than 2 Pithing Needle. But this misunderstanding no longer matters; I'm not gonna...
Hi folks,
This is my current list:
//Card Draw and Selection (12)
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Gitaxian Probe
//Tutors (7)
Me too; It will be interesting to see how the dust settles and I'm curious to see how quickly Wasteland returns to the format. Even here in Europe, the large American tournaments still have a notable...
I think there's too much emphasis being given to secondary benefits of Cabal Therapy in this discussion. The synergy with Empty the Warrens and the ability to hit multiples is just a bonus and not...
That's a fair point; I understand your reasoning now.
EDIT: That said, I wouldn't be wanting to bring it in against decks that cast Daze and it can be played through Thalia regardless as it's a...
Trygon Predator is interesting, but I don't think the sol lands are a relevant factor for moving to the card as It can't be powered out earlier than normal using them. My biggest concern with the...
I just hope they're not sitting loose on his desk and warping like crazy. :(
Turns out I have a little more time today after all :) I'll present my opinion on Peter's proposed 'Sol Land' plan that's been talked about here for the past few weeks. I haven't dismissed any...
Just a quick post - I've now played a fair amount since making the switch from Tropical Island to Bayou and it has performed very well for me. I now believe it is superior to the Tropical Island;...
Yes, it's been tested - both the cost and life loss are too great in an Ad Nauseam deck that already has such a high saturation of tutors. The effect is very powerful, which is what makes it not...
I agree that Xantid Swarm is mediocre in the match-up as I too find the Miracles players keeping in removal (definitely Terminus at the very least) in-case of Young Pyromancer/Xantid Swarm.
That...
Not quite, for a fair amount of time it was 12 + 1 side-boarded land.
As for the importance of the 14th, for me it comes down to how heavily your list uses green. 13 land without Xantid Swarm has...
Haha, I've done this, it feels terrible. My worst mistakes are detailed in this tournament report I wrote a while back.
I don't have time at the moment to really elaborate on all of my choices, but thought it might still be helpful to post my current list up. I haven't missed the Xantid Swarm and I feel like the 3...
This comment was regarding my Treasure Cruise-less 'stock' list. I can't make a statement about the card until I've tested it, but I just feel that I need something to give me another proactive...
That was an excellent summarising post.
Usually I spend far too long writing paragraphs that realistically only a few people read, so here a few quick thoughts of mine about TES at the moment:
...
I understand your point, but I was merely expressing how frequently the scenario I have encountered was - Gitaxian Probe and Discard has seen the way is clear; wish for a path to Ad Nauseam. It's not...
