How did you nor your opponent not know how needle or ichord works?
Also if you’re surgical-ing grave trolls you’re likely doing it wrong.

More often than not I find myself boarding out gambles, along with the usual utility lands that aren’t going to be helpful; Karakas, bog, factory, chasm, mazes etc. I don’t mind shaving down on...
Split the top 8 of ChannelFireBall's $2k yesterday.
Same list as GP:Seattle, with the Song of the Dryads changing to a Choke.
R1: Elves 2-0
R2: RUG lands Mirror 2-0
R3: Esper Delver 2-1
R4:...
I think it’s interesting you beat up on sneak and then lost out to Taxes. Either way, congrats on the finish!
I’d personally board like this with your list:
-bog
-chasm
-ghost quarter...
Good to know! I’m sure it’s not something that happens too often; it was certainly my first time having it come up in one of my games.
I am still moving forward with the GQ/factory. I really like both and ports are just lacking for me. I changed the song to a choke and even without ports it’s been good.
He had cast a Sylvan Scrying and realized it mid-tutor. The judge did mention those type of infections used to be game losses but not anymore. I thought for sure it was going to be a game loss. The...
I never saw song in any of my matches, but probably wouldn't mind it being another impactful 3 drop, maybe even the 4th tracker? Tracker was just an insane magic card all weekend and I was never...
Maybe we can get back to DTB now?
GP Seattle Tournament report here
So I attended GP Seattle with no byes, with the intention of trying to beat my last record of 11-4 at GP Las Vegas last year. I was really torn on a few card choices but ended up registering the...
It wasn’t solnox, although he was in the top 8 along with me as well. I was the lands player who drew in at first seed into round 7.
Your lack of paper magic does show, in the few times I walked...
Both G1 of ANT and Sneak, I got lucky and raced.
G2 against sneak, I lose to a blood moon and early sneak attack. G3, he keeps: Petal, Volcanic, Spell Pierce, Sneak attack, Show and Tell, Force of...
Split the CFB $4k today, with 112 players showing up.
Played against:
R1: Eldrazi and Taxes 2-1
R2: Turbo Depths 2-0
R3: Sneak and Show 2-1
R4: ANT 2-1
R5: RG Lands 2-0
R6: ID
I’ve been on two for quite some time now. I bring it in against the snapcaster decks and anything with obvious graveyard interaction, as well as combo.
I’ve also been known to like it against...
EE has always been good. If they weren’t good I would play RG.
Molten vortex is a beast. Czech can’t usually beat it as they play one decay in the 75 and it’s nice insurance against decks packing...
Split CFB’s $4k with my usual RGu list.
1 Academy Ruins
1 Barbarian Ring
1 Bojuka Bog
3 Dark Depths
1 Forest
4 Ghost Quarter
1 Glacial Chasm
KMC Perfect Fit Hards + Dragon Shield Mattes are my go-to.
Eclipse sleeves are good, but get dirty fast and are not good with foils with the matte front.
Lands: 19
1 Bayou
1 Forest
2 Island
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Polluted Delta
1 Swamp
2 Tropical Island
2 Underground Sea
2 Verdant Catacombs
Fun to see O stone back in someone's list. Used to play it MD in the old creeping tar pit days.
I'm sure there's a good reason. He is like one of the kings of pimp. ;)
I still like grips quite a lot. The "uncounterable" part is nothing to scoff at when trying to remove back to basics or something else important and it also does really well against certain things...
Blue isn't dead yet. Rep blue for life!
I have older decklist pictures but this is shortly after I started foiling a bit and probably the nicest looking photo/scan I have in the second era of lands.

Kozilek's Return is still the best DnT sweeper for a surefire kill everything. I'm also partial to Subterranean Tremors even if the card is awful, haha.
Grip is spectacular. There's many instances split second comes in handy, down to being uncounterable, or taking care of annoying problems like vial. I've had so many DnT players think they're safe by...
