Sylvan Library seems like a must-play with 4 Uro to me. My impression from the Bosh N Roll video was that Minsc & Boo would have been better in most situations than Greater Good. I also wanted to run...
I think I would take Ozy's list and cut Uros and probably a Forked Bolt for 2x Klothys and 2x Brazen Borrower. This gives you a strong anti-Uro package and you keep your grinding power against the...
Well, it seems like for posterity's sake, someone should remark upon the state of RUG Delver after the Labe/Oko/Dreadhorde bannings. Call me old fashioned, but I just don't see the appeal of posting...
I gotta think True-Name is going to be a big winner. Hard to picture what the metagame is going to look like tho, a lot of fringe strategies have gotten a lot more powerful over the years but were...
Hard to imagine Uro gets banned without an Oko ban. As long as Dreadhorde doesn't get banned, RUG will be a clear winner regardless of what they do.
I've tried to make Noble Hierarch work in RUG a bunch. Mentor is an interesting idea I haven't tried before. The main issue is that Hierarch typically doesn't end up being better than Delver. But I...
You raise a good point that RUG is going to dominate if Astrolabe is banned. However, RUG is fairly narrow strategy with exploitable weaknesses (non-basic mana base, removal, Carpet of Flowers). I am...
I guess this issue has been hashed out a thousand times, but I don't see how Oko is a bigger offender than Astrolabe. Oko is easy enough to Red Blast. As long as Astrolabe is legal, 5c Snowpile with...
I would imagine the Guide-Beast's best use is simply to be played next to the color-shifted Steppe Lynx et al as way to keep your landfall triggers coming. Play the Steppe Lynx Turn 1 and this guy on...
That Jace is pretty cool and probably better than it looks but unfortunately Uro.
Oko is quite powerful and can always be pitched to Force of Will so I like playing 3. I think people trimming on Oko are typically trying to squeeze more Tarmogoyfs in the deck, which really help in...
I don't see how these decades old cards were hurting anyone but I'm a random white dude. I think snuffing out Chandra as a bisexual character to appease an authoritarian Chinese regime, which I...
I don't know if Wizards actually has discriminatory hiring practices. The way they are banning Cleanse, which doesn't seem any more racist than the color pie in general, wreaks of a guilty conscience...
No one seems to have pointed out that the reasons these cards were banned was because Zaiem Beg wrote a blog post calling Wizards for discriminatory hiring practices. Rather than address those hiring...

-Regarding the shroud RUG variant, I do recall Jonathan Alexander playing a Delverless Mongoose/Mandrills/TNN/Winter Orb version designed to prey on Miracles decks with Sensei's Divining Top...
@ Jackabo
-I appreciate your reply. Hooting Mandrills is definitely my favorite among the various green beaters: Hooting Mandrills, Nimble Mongoose, Tarmogoyf and Hexdrinker. I certainly I think...
Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the post-Lurris metagame. I figured I would share my results through six leagues and discuss some of my conclusions. I primarily played a configuration with...
@wcm8
I feel like Oko is the easiest part of these Snowko decks to deal with. What's hard to deal with is a wall of Strixes into Uro. At least you typically have a whole turn to answer Oko without...
I definitely agree. I don't know if people want to talk about a Delver-less build in this thread but this is what I have been trying lightly:
1 Dryad Arbor
3 Grove of the Burnwillows
4 Misty...
Magmatic Sinkhole is a pretty solid 1-of to have in your 75 if you're not on Hooting Mandrills. However, Oko does a similiar kind of thing (later game removal) and can single-handedly win the game in...
I feel like your last Challange list should have a pretty reasonable elves match-up. A bunch of removal, Wren and Six, and Hooting Mandrills are all pretty good against them. You could probably...
The card is amazing. Even if the recurring Wastelands or the -1 ability aren't very relevant, the +1 ability at least combos with Brainstorm and you can always dome your opponent with the -1. I think...
That list is sick. I love the way Illusionary Mask lets you play Dreadnought through Chalice on 1 but Chalice on 1 also protects Dreadnought from Swords to Plowshares.
I would have to concur that this deck crushes Maverick right now. Wrenn and Six and True-Name are wildly good against them.
Well I don't mean to spam this thread with references to Youtube page so I'll stop after this. But I did run a list with Hexdrinker through a league and record, just see the my link in my signature....
