    Re: Waterfalls (RUG Cascade!)

    I propose a better name for this deck archetype: Dreadhorde Agents
    It better sums up the nexus of the deck's mechanics and this deck is the real deal, not chasing waterfalls.

    Here's a list I've...

    Unlike Cerberus, Garna doesn't not have an obligatory Cabal Therapy sacrifice required.



    This is solved by pairing Garna with Ingot Chewer. Chewer is returned to hand and then eats the Chalice,...

    Thank you. That does make sense. I vote for resilience over slot economy. 1 Arctic Merfolk and 1 Quickling it is then.

    I don't understand what you've said.

    Quickling does not target (it is the primary Recruiter search); Man-O'-War has more utility, yes, but perhaps it's not worth leaving the additional exploit...

    Colored mana is not that helpful. The colorless aspects of Monolith/Dynamo is essential in the face of Blood Moon.

    As someone who transitioned from Aluren to Big Eldrazi, I can recommend keeping them off of Trinisphere and Grim Monolith as best you can. Ignore Chalice if possible. The Aluren combo should happen...

    I find it’s easily draws Wastelands if you lead with it. Yes, sometimes it’s crap.

    I agree. I also think 4 Eye of Ugin is a good idea in the event of flooding with no threats.

    Re: Mono-Blue Living End

    How is this deck better than Show and Tell? There’s are many reasons:
    -Same cost of card for less pay off
    -Susceptibility to abrupt decay
    -DRS eating your creatures in grave

    The main reason I use the Recruiter over the tutorless version is the combo is much more difficult to interrupt and usually yields a win at instant speed. The Recruiterless versions do have better...

    There are many subtle differences. But the salient one is cost of the cards. The red version typically uses Dreamstalker to bridge the Harpy gate and the Recruiter tutor. The white version typically...
