Jeff Hoogland is on Aluren for the SCG Player's Championship. He's currently 1-0, but I'm not sure what version he's on.
Just wanted to say that I think your list is currently the best Aluren list out there. Being able to remove the 4th color that was there mainly for (either) Recruiter seems like a huge boost for the...
I'm sure he'd good, but Aluren is primarily a combo deck, not a midrange deck with a combo backup plan. That's why my preference would be for him in the side and not in the main. If he's really...
Take my response(s) with a grain of salt since I haven't played Legacy since GP Seattle. Though the meta hasn't really changed since then.
I'm not really a fan of Leovold in the list (at least in...
The best version is going to be the version that you're the most familiar with. You'll win more games by knowing your deck well and opponents not knowing your deck than you will by having a "best"...
Congrats on the win! Wish they would have had video coverage for the top 8, the meta seemed quite diverse based on the top 16 decklists.
2 copies of Aluren in the top 8 at SCG today including the winner!

Martin Goldman-Kirst placed 15th with the traditional list he runs:

It's definitely different, but it's been working out great for me. I decided to try Jace mainly for the card draw, but also as an additional win condition. And yes, I did end up bouncing my own...
I edited in the changes mentioned above.
Just a quick report. Can type up more later if requested.
Played in an SCG IQ last night with the same list I've been running with the following changes:
-1 Maelstrom pulse
-1 Intuition

Not worth the cost of the white mana. You can use Mesmeric Fiend for the same effect though if you really want the effect.
Unfortunately it doesn't affect Goyf since the cards retain their card types. It just stops things like Flashback, Dredge, Persist, etc.
I usually won't fetch a Taiga until I have the rest of...
How was Deathrite for you through the night? Mainly did you think it was worth the inclusion or would you have rather had other cards in those spots?
Recently decided to pick up a set of Recruiters for Imperial Painter and built this on the side. I ended up having more fun goldfishing this than I did with Painter so I changed my focus from Aluren...
