Land Grant if you're playing green.
Legacy combos can already do this. How much more resilient would Solidarity be?
Don't we have that already? Thresh and Anti-Thresh. How does Solidarity with FS fare in a format where Thresh is...
Make a post about it?
Poor choice of set, considering the sentence.
Nothing *necessarily* demonstrates. But if you want to demonstrate more effectively, show me a deck that breaks the card....
Why not board out Seal against Red Thresh?
Because your manabase can affect what nonland cards you play, like Back to Basics and Blood Moon.
+1 Goyf -1 Inferior-Non-Goyf-Card makes your deck better. There's a reason 99% of the decks in Legacy run it.
Grip is more versatile than Serenity since you play Counterbalance (Top can always...
I recommend testing Mental Note. It helps your creatures reach Threshold faster so they can start blocking opposing attackers. MN can also discard two unwanted cards returned by Brainstorm.
...
Really good advice, especially since you're on a budget.
To repeat, test first, then buy. A basic land with "Black Lotus" written in marker ink is a lot cheaper than the real thing. I'd also...
If your opponent doesn't attack with Confidant, because of your Fanatic, someone's making a mistake. Think about it.
If you wanted Confidant dead, you would've already killed it. If you wanted it...
I thought about this, and I agree. There's enough shuffle effects in the deck to support it. Maybe -1 CB -1 Enforcer -2 Serum Visions +4 Brainstorm.
I don't know. City still gives you 3 colors,...
This is an interesting topic, and it even has relevance outside of budget considerations, because Blood Moon is becoming a big factor. Browsing at what you have available, this is what I would play:...
There's nothing aggro about Chalice or Blood Moon. This deck plays Magus, a 2/2 for 3, when bigger aggro creatures are available at the same mana cost or less. Maybe there's something more than aggro...
Your discussion about consistency vs power is interesting, but it wasn't my point. My point is that Seething Song and Street Wraith aren't in the deck to help with mulligan decisions. Neither card...
In my build, Street Wraith replaced Seething Song, which doesn't really help with mulligans either. Notice Taco wrote "consistency that Song can't provide".
Sometimes, Seething Song is great....
Here's my current decklist:
4 Tomb
4 City
12 Mountain
4 Mox
4 SSG
4 Magus
4 Raiders
Aluren / Imperial Recruiter: 2/4/4
Chaff is Cavern Harpy, bounce (ie Manowar), life gain (ie Spike Feeder), and kill (ie Ghitu Slinger).
EDIT: Recruiter grabs Manowar, bounce Recruiter,...
I vote none of the above. It still seems strange to have a narrow card like Seal in the maindeck. In Nitewolf's tournament report, I noticed that he sided out Seal in 6 of the 7 matches played. There...
How about Duress instead of Seal of Primordium? Duress hits artifacts/enchantments like Seal. Duress is cheaper therefore faster and gives you more Turn 1 plays. Improves your combo matchup and takes...
Sacrease, let me explain why I said "So, there really isn't too much difference between Burn and Goyf Sligh to me". Basically, Sligh adds creatures to burn. The creatures I would add are Goyf and...
I disagree. I think two best creatures for Burn are Keldon Marauders and Tarmogoyf (if you're willing to splash green).
Keldon Marauders is basically a burn spell in disguise. 2 burn damage plus...
12 cyclers allow you to play a 48 card deck. This basically turns all the 4ofs in your deck into 5ofs. The primary drawback of cyclers is the delayed draw (Baubles) and life loss (Wraith).
...
Question: How does Goyf Sligh fare against Threshold? Obviously, this depends on the how both decks are constructed. What versions of Goyf Sligh do best against Thresh?
I've been trying out Think Twice in place of Standstill.
Please provide more than just a one line statement and have discussion to back up such a change - Jander
EDIT: Here's what I wrote in...
This is really a probability question. You can calculate (not easy though) your chances of hitting all 4 colors by Turn X. Some people don't mind losing to color screw more often, in return for...
In Limited, there are mixed reviews on Vow. It gives your opponent a free rainbow land. If you don't want to accelerate/color-fix your opponent, you have to delay using it pretty late. It's...
