Here is an example of where we are at today with RUG Delver:
7-1 list from B-Carp:
2 Oko, Thief of Crowns
4 Delver of Secrets
2 Dreadhorde Arcanist
2 Hooting Mandrills

Word on the street is that Bahra has had some good results of late with his build of NO RUG, but I don't know what it is exactly and haven't seen it myself.
Yeah, I played RUG in out last FNM and went 3-0-1.
I went for 3 'Goyf and 2 Mandrils instead of Mongoose. It was basically Baku_91's list from the recent Legacy Challenge. I just adjusted the...
Yeah, I agree here with this overall. I think the only matchup I really feel would suffer might be Miracles, given the lack of Mongoose and that Wasteland recursion is likely not ideal. However,...
Those are some fair points. As you say, testing will be needed. However, what you point out, about late game and opponents hand being possibly empty, makes me wonder if Hexdrinker would be better...
Is Hexdrinker really that much better than Mongoose? 1 mana is vastly less to pay for Shroud than 4, even if you can break it up over a couple turns. I mean, you do eventually get a 4/4, but you...
Maybe? I mean, I don't think it's definitely a better choice, but if you can chump block and steal it, it's obviously pretty good.
In reality, you are likely right, since Snag can be brought in...
Ark4n11 has put up at least one 5-0 with this list recently. The sideboard Melodies being for Marit Late specifically. I just love me some Winter Orb.
4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Delver of Secrets
2...
I would tend to agree, despite loving Winter Orb. I played one in the board of BUG back in the day and had reasonable success with it in the hey-day of Miracles, although, what you mention is...
No, Compost is in the Graveyard when Abrupt Decay finishes resolving so it will not "see" it and not trigger.
This is the same reason why if you Decay a Rest In Peace, the RiP is exiled (it "sees"...
I'm not sure if you have ever tried Winter Orb but it is usually rather good versus any mana-hungry decks.
I just do not enjoy playing versus Elves, positive matchup or not, :laugh:
I was not pleased when I realized that I was matched up with Shardless (and less pleased to see the same player again in...
Well, my sideboard was absolutely wrong, to put it mildly. I literally forgot my REBs at home, so I was not pleased at the pairing. That being said, it was better than playing against Elves,...
One of our local players was trying out this deck for about a month for all our FNMs. I don't know that he ever got more than 2 wins, so he abandoned the deck. I told him the deck was fine in the...
Been waiting about 10 years for a good reason to break these bad boys out:

Found it! I will probably brew up a little something similar, possibly with a bit more...
