Needle on Harpy postboard doesn't do anything. Yes it can hit noncreatures, but Chalice isn't that good against us, fetching basic forest lets Recruiter beat a Blood Moon, and there aren't any other...

I think my list is just okay. I haven't been playing much due to college, but I'm fairly confidant in the the majority of the main and most of the board. I did play somewhat poorly, costing me 1 game...

Last tournament that I got to play in was the SCG, but yeah I'm still taking Aluren to the GP. SB changes, but nothing special.

Why doesn't the BUG version (at least most I've seen) run Kalastria Healer? Am I missing something or is everyone just copying a sub-optimized build? I fully assume I'm missing something.

Vs D&T, discard is generally bad. The sideboarding depends on your exact list, but the general philosophy that I use is understanding that you can outgrind them, and combo them eventually if you need...

If you mean a full sideboarding guide, then I can probably get one up by/during Thanksgiving. If you mean a tournamnet report including the actual sideboarding that I did, I will have one up next...

Yeah I played vs him final round of Swiss then in QFs as well. He was pretty new to the deck and made a few mistakes that I capitalized on

Perhaps before you come at me saying I'm ignorant, you actually read more than 3 pages in this thread.

This is laughable because the Red version could run Arctic Merfolk if it wanted, you argue price, and claim 0 specifics about sideboarding. The versions are different, and nobody has run a true "full...

What do you mean "more resilient?" Do you mean far less consistent but more potentially powerful? We have 4 sac outlets in the entire deck which isn't even close to enough to consistently sacrifice...

When comparing Aluren to other decks, compare it to Shardless BUG instead of anything else (save perhaps Food Chain, but IDK). The reason Ponders don't get run is because it is fairly slow, cascading...

It's super strange to me that your argument boils down to:

1) Recruiters are bad because they are clunky
2) Recruiters are bad because they make you another colour, thus weaker to non-basic hate...

I would like to remind everyone that Aluren isn't, nor has ever been, a true Combo deck. It is a far worse combo than actual Combo decks, so we must balance the Midrange and the Combo aspects of the...

To everybody arguing for Quickling, is the 1 mana worth Flash or should you guys just be playing Faerie Imposter?

Much like hitting Dream Stalker with a Cascade, you don't get to bounce Shardless Agent. Shardless Agent is still on the stack while the Dream Stalker/Quickling triggers because Cascade goes on top...

Is Quickling better than Arctic Merfolk? I'd rather cascade into Arctic Merfolk, but I believe that Quickling is generally better since it can attack in the air as well as block a Delver (though it...

I believe that you misconstrue what I claimed about interactivity; of course if Aluren resolves we almost certainly win, though they could have an Eidelon in their hand, which would make things...

It is not an auto lose but we are likely heavily unfavoured in the MU. You are incorrect about lack of interactivity. Have you read Eidilon? Yes once Aluren itself resolves we usually are okay but...

It is very strange to me that one of your arguments for playing a card is to immediately board it out in every match-up. As for the "decks with removal", if you go down the list of decks that play...

This feels too similar to Man-O'-War to me. It would also require us to be White, which is a bit of a stretch. This card is a trap and shouldn't be played; if you are concerned with creatures,...

It is glacially slow and doesn't actually accomplish what you want it to do; When you need to tutor Aluren, you need Aluren as soon as possible, and getting it after spending 3 mana for Recruiter, 3...

I have an 18 page document about sideboarding with my Aluren list from a month or so ago. I do not know how to properly get this on a thread or anything due to word count, but if you PM me or...

Way to represent Martin! Take it down! Still undefeated will likely be on camera later (hopefully). I would love to see his deck tech.

Hello. I played a list similar to yours a couple of years ago, and here are some of the reasons why I chose to move on from certain card choices.

Force vs Thoughtseize: I became increasingly...

I plan on testing -1Thoughtseize +1 Abrupt Decay main. Bringing the total number main to 2. There isn't nearly as many combo decks present as I had anticipated.
