Trample is a huge reason why, and immunity to Abrupt Decay is an added bonus. Most of the time comes down for 1 mana, it's simply the more efficient, resilient, and evasive threat.

You've got RUG Delver basically winning or at a minimum Top8 of every major event currently; straying from those well-tuned & tested lists is likely just an exercise in lower win%.

Play 3 Oko

SorboOne just won the Legacy Format Playoffs online; I like his list w/ 3x Stifle. Mine is very similar except I'm playing an Oko over TNN and FoN over the 2nd Pierce. I agree with only having 2...

You're not wrong about the pace of change. We also had a lot of Legacy events in a short period including GP ATL in between two SCG events which drove a ton of testing. Daryl Ayers drove a ton of...

Probably Surgical, Sylvan Library, or Dismember.

With these decks moving to Hexdrinker over Arcanist, it seems to me that Waterlogged Grove may be the go-to spell land. The deck is more dependent on G than R to win in most games.

Against some...

I honestly thought Hexdrinker was completely unplayable but actually the first copy of that card has been quite good so far. I do recommend 1 copy. I've never tried Reclaimer but that card has been...

Thoughtseize definitely pulls it's weight in the combo matchups, but fetching Badlands or USea early can be very awkward depending on your opening 7. In the post-board games when you know your...

Three of the top25 decks at the SCG Team Open this weekend were variations on a stifle-less, Dreadhorde Arcanist RUG Delver shell.

Thanks for the heads up @meite -- this was a good watch. Played out pretty similarly to how I've been doing locally. If only I was as good as Jarvis.. ;)

I think that video showcases how well...

My main issue with UR has nothing to do with Arcanist really, he is a house. I'm struggling with YP being lackluster in the face of W&6 being everywhere and the deck feeling too threat-light without...

Noticed Liz Lynn playing what looked to be a very similar last at the Team Open last week upon review of the Twitch stream, but I guess no one else is actively down this path.

Has anyone been playing with Dreadhorde Arcanist & Wrenn in RUG colors? I have been playing UR Delver in prep for GP ATL for about a month now to some solid success (fetching basic island T1 can be...

Do you really want a UU sorcery speed answer to Marit Lage when they can often force an EOT activation in a world where Vapor Snag exists?

In my experience playing an almost exact 75 is the Czech Pile matchup is all about clearing out Baleful Strix and getting there with Mongoose. You need to try and just bait out as much removal as...

Dissenter’s Deliverance is another good option in these colors for artifact destruction to accompany Ancient Grudge.

Not being able to pick Bayou up for Daze would manifest itself a lot more often than getting Double Wasteland'd I would imagine. Plus all your actual interaction is typically blue. Running non-blue...

Can someone help me with the uses for Sulfuric Vortex, I'm having quite a bit of hurtburn over the 1RR cost. Obviously the clock it presents against Miracles is great, and I understand locking out...

My current flex are 2 Probe, 2 Tarfire, & 2 Spell Pierce.

LewisCBR, congratulations on your recent success.

You and I share much of the same thoughts on making 'goyf the best he can be in the current Eldrazi-meta. I have found that Seal of Fire not...

I still prefer Gitaxian Probe in the spot for a number of reasons, I just thought it was worth mentioning as an option for those looking for more interaction or cantrips.

Anyone notice the latest 5-0 on MTGO was playing a pair of Disrupt? Kinda cute.

Won the local GPT today for byes in Columbus, overall deck ran well.

4x Brainstorm
4x Ponder
4x Daze
4x Force of Will
4x Stifle
4x...

I knew I was missing something obvious... thanks LewisCBR. 18 is likely just the most optimal setup, but I'm still going to move forward with testing Thought Scour.

Edit - tested Thought Scour...
