I have to imagine not playing an urborg is a mistake. I even want to play that card in RG lands.

Is the red splash really better than the green splash?
I mean, I haven't played the deck much, but I'd assume that decay > bolt in a deck like this.
Plus, deed destroys midrange/merfolk
My SB:
1 Crop rotation
1 Force of Will
2 Submerge
2 Krosan Grip
2 Blue Elemental Blast
1 Karakas
1 Bojuka bog
1 Tower of the Magistrate
Gah. It just feels like I don't have room for drownyard and Ancient tomb! But I suppose drownyard does give you some easy wins, which I'm a fan of.
Also, what's with the 4/3 intuition/entomb...
I played this to a 3-0-2 (two intentional IDs) fnm tourney last week (there wasa top 8, but we split). 27 people.
List:
4 Inkmoth
1 Wasteland
2 Pendelhaven
8 Fetch
4 Trop
1 Forest
Ok Di, I think you convinced me to try baleful strix. I didn't consider that all you needed to do was draw an entomb to break the loop and prevent yourself from decking.
One interaction I missed...
Looks like I missed quite a bit in a day...
@Oona: The main reason I prefer this is because you don't need it in play/hand when you start the combo. Just go infinite mana, intuition for 3 entombs...
@Lennon: I think in principle I agree with you completely. I just want to test a build with 4 of all relevant combo pieces/search to see what the deck is capable of. My reasoning with not running a...
My problem with lands like drownyard are:
1) I don't like running lands that either CIPT to tap to produce colorless, when I already want to be running ancient tomb/City for Intuitions/Necromancy...
I've always been happier with Deep Analysis. Not sure if that's too slow tho.
SO MANY OPTIONS!
w00t! Get to bring out my favorite combo deck once again!
This has been said, but the advantage of dragon over a deck like reanimator is the ability to play more of a control role. You only need 5...
I played this at a local store tonight. Played Thea Steele's version with 2 sideboard changes. Went 4-0 but had to go to 3 games every match.
Round 1: Dead guy Ale
Game 1: I almost eek it out,...
Time to dust off those dark rituals...
Very well run event. Glad to see the regulars come out on top.
Ran the standard list to a top 8 TCG IQ. Around 50 people. The deck felt unbeatable when it drew well, but I did have some awkws draws.
Round 1: Esper deathblade 2-0. He mulls to 6 game 1, I have...
I guess I'm still skeptical about this, since:
1) Your clock is astronomically slow
2) If they even fetch 1 island, they're pretty much immune to blood moon (SnT even plays them in the SB).
...
Pardon my ignorance, but how does this deck beat Sneak and Show? Isn't 4 emrakul GG for you? You can't really make them draw a card after they're out of cards in library since you're red. Please tell...
For the record, Xantid swarm is probably poop. The reason I brought up Grand Abolisher is his unique ability to stop permanent hate. It hits: Top, DRS, Tormod's Crypt, Relic, etc. It may even stop...
How hard is it to hit WW? Grand abolisher was pretty savage when I ran him in combo.
I think maxing out on flusterstorm might be the best option vs. discard. As awesome as Leyline sounds, it's a complete brick if not in your opener (and thus, junk because it makes your spirals...
Played this to a 5-3 record at GP Denver losing my win-and-in round. The list:
12 Islands
6 Fetch
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
3 Preordain
4 Tide
Yeah, I cast time spiral, drew 7, went to play a land before untap. He called me on it. I should have called a judge. After talking with a judge there, it was a timing infraction, so I would have...
Lost my win and in round to go 5-3. Went on full blown life tilt after getting rules-lawyered by Josh Ravitz. Oh well. Overall, great time, awesome opponents. Played Spiral Tide instead of my fall...
The Denver Metagame is Tempo (RUG, UR delver, BUG) and combo. That pretty much it.
A really solid choice would be burn, since so many people are on BUG right now. My boy Lee just took down the...
@Pyroblast: The main reason I want this over another discard effect is because most blue decks are mana constrained when playing against TES. Do they tap out for that delver/goyf? How about for that...
