I have no idea, perhaps you shouldn't play super mediocre decks like Death and Taxes?

Word? I often deal with Deathrite Shamans--plow, bolt, decay, etc.

Rug Tempo wouldn't care, Combo Decks would be fine with losing a card when next turn they can draw 4-7 cards, and Pro Bant wouldn't be a deck.

I mean like does that register? That if Ancestral...

I can't think of a single scenario where Brainstorm is better than Ancestral Recall outside of UW Miracles. Except that's a moot point since the entire legacy metagame would be wildly different if...

This is one of those mantras that always irritated me. None of that is accurate, and all of it is situationally based on deck synergies.

There are plenty of good one drop creatures that can be...

It was the only part of the post I really cared to address, cool off for awhile :laugh:. I'm not trying to troll you or attack you, I'm just saying I don't think Tinker is going to be as good as...

Those are fair points.

I don't necessarily agree that Tinker takes up so few spots though. 4x Tinker and a target or two for sure. But now you're messing with your manabase, adding awful things...

In your given scenario, yes, I believe Tinker is worse than Show and Tell. Leviathan dies to everything emrakul dies to except Karakas (which is obviously a big deal), on top of any sort of cheaper...

Except that tinker is also sort of a 2-card combo...you do actually need an artifact down, and since the artifacts you'll likely be hitting are one of the Mox's (Chrome or diamond) alongside an...

I don't believe the deck is unanswerable, I feel that Griselband is very close to it though.

Show and Tell would be a lot more balanced if the thing the other guy put into play was as powerful as what you were putting into play.

So I guess it's balanced in the sense that a see-saw is...

And I posit that Griselbrand is bad for the format for reasons I've already listed. I'm not advocating banning Emrakul, or Progenitus, or Iona, or any other pretty hard to deal with big dumb...

Reanimator and Sneak and Show not having top 8's is more due to the ability to hate the decks out / their own inconsistencies. Griselbrand has no impact on the deck's ability to work until he is on...

Apologies, I forgot about the dominating answers that are Vapor Snag and Path to Exile :rolleyes:. And that's the problem. I alluded to it with the Scavenging Ooze comment but forgot to elaborate...

Can we all please stop with the shitty 3 word sentence posts? It actually -feels- socially awkward reading it and bleeds of basementism. It's embarrassing to the forum to see how many retarded...

Refer to my previous post, we can't possibly keep going in circles like this. It's not that Griselbrand is easy to deal with or even realistically possible to deal with, it's that cheating him into...

This is absurdly untrue and I pointed out why in my post. Emrakul can actually be dealt with when cheated in or even sometimes when hardcast, Tendrils can be countered via flusterstorm or mindbreak...

It's annoying when people say vague undescriptive things like: "somewhat difficult to deal with" and that people essentially "don't know how to beat it".

What a genuinely stupid thing to say. ...

This seems to lack context; you could simply block them one by one and keep drawing 7 until you find an answer. Unless by race you mean you had 1 turn to live anyways and they had lethal on the...

No, just when he resolves. When I beat those decks it's a discard effect hitting their dig and they don't have the combo in-hand. The deck isn't unbeatable, just him.



Compelling argument. ...

That'd be nearly unplayable. Having a side-combo in elves blanks elves itself; you'd be pushing like 20 elves at that point and that's not nearly enough to go off. Earthcraft just doesn't really...

Any deck in which Griselbrand resolves or enters the battlefield.

All of them?

I'm really not so sure of this; how many earthcraft do you run in elves? What do you drop that doesn't hurt elves? Earthcraft, Glimpse, Gsz/Lw/SPact, the win condition, maybe a regal force.. ...

I think this whole conversation is getting into needless amounts of semantics. Goblins is an aggro deck. Goblin Lackey is an aggressive play that furthers an aggressive strategy.

Not only that. ...
