props to him, it is really hard to achieve a 8:0:0 record with this deck, it requires more skill than back in 2012.

Where is his beloved Zuran Orb in the sideboard ? :D

+1 on that,no nacatl please.
nacatl is just a touch better than kird ape,the white splash isn't worth it

AS i said before, the Rug list in your link featuring Kird Ape is a Tempo Zoo Deck with a high creature+ removal density.

@Sea R Hill: Thx man for your arguments pro Ape. I completely understand what are you talking about and it also makes sense but you only focused on kird ape's velocity, not on its resilience.
In my...

I don't want to break the Hype that's going on here and it's sweet that an oldschool hero came back to business, but honestly i have to say that kird ape is a really poor creature compared to any...

Thx for the short Metagame summary.
I still believe that playing a delver deck without a carddrawengine (i'm talking about cruise ;D )
is not competitive enough right now.
I mean,would you play...

Well let's hope that Treasure Cruise gets the banhammer so that nimble mongoose can revive again ;D
It is by far the best creature RUG has to offer and i would always play 4 if the format allowes me...

Happy New Year Mongoose-Fans ;)

Excactly,don't forget that we actually want to win games with this deck ;)

Thank you for the quick responses, really appreciate that.

you both are absolutely right, the more i think of it the more i agree with your ideas.
this deck should maybe have more hard-counter...

Anyone who has experience with canadian ******** including standstills?
sounds maybe weird but that might be an opportunity to build a tempo oriented deck with heavy manadenial as we know it + a...

I completely understand Index submerge has seen better days when RUG Delver and Maverick were both Tier 1 during 2012. Number one targets where opposing Tarmogoyfs and Knights but these creatures are...

@B88:

hey Claudio, don't you need thought scour in your deck to make nimble mongoose + treasure cruise work? I respect your success 3 times in a row with your RUG Delver build but I'm curious how...

Just a stupid question to all Hardcore-RUG Players out there who still play this deck:

How do you ever win against other delver decks with Treasure Cruise. Most of the time these games are either...

I'm talking about a little bit differnet rug delver approach by me and Hans Jacob Kuhlmann Goddik who is a experienced RUG Delver player for many years as I am.
When True Name Nemesis came out, he...

I tested a punishing fire-tempo rug and while i have liked the idea to have recurring removal i ended up with too many mulligans because of all the nonblue lands, 3-4 groves and 3-4 wastelands weaken...

have done a ton of testings and unfortunately pyrodude had its home in legacy but not in this deck.

the best pyromancer deck is ANT ;)

the deck has no room for such cute cards like quickling, most of the time we will have an opening 7 with just the quickling as the only creature.
if we need protection for our beatsticks we still...

what do you guys think about nimble mongoose in general now in the metagame - is goose still the loose?
Honestly I liked the little beast alot in 2012 when there was no deathrite shaman but...

what are your opinions on follwing cards:

- scavenging ooze/green suns zenith in the main/sideboard instead of the 4th goyf.

- grim lavamancer insead of rough/tumble (-> remember that the...

You are kidding right?
I mean we have a good burn matchup already,no need for low impact cards like hydroblast or even zuran orb.
Almost every single card in our deck is great against mono red:
-...

These matchup-percentages presume equality of your and your opponents skill level.
(Of course the death&taxes matchup will turn 70:30 in rugs favour when you get paired against your grandma )
I did...

@4 probes:
Nothing is worse than chaining probes,especially in the mirror like we saw on camera last week because you fall behind in the race.
You just want to have a peek at the opponents hand...

@forcing a top or not:
Jacob wilson is right,top requires a ton of mana each turn so it is ok to let it resolve in the early turns.
However,in the mid/lategame when our opponent has already a...

@Bravosi:
First i played 7 burn spells (4 bolts and 3 chains) but the current metagame demands 2 forked bolts and 1 dismember so i switched.
