I just run painter-llawan as my alternate win. Requires less slots and after board you have plenty of reb effects which allow you to play control against emrakul/proggy decks. Don't forget llawan...
Oops, sorry pander, I spaced out when reading the names. I forgot Alex Kwan = pander. Great job man!
1 less land no problem at all today? Grats again, you do the painter boys proud. Wish I was in...
Painter top 16ed with heavy md protection, 0 LEDs. Very similar to my build that I posted a few pages back. Like 1 card different (-1 land, + 1 bridge). I wonder if these people read the source....
Thanks man. :) I'm weird, as in I like very different things In Magic. The competitive part of me brews evil, ultra competitive decklists. I write articles when I feel like I have some new tech or...
I play this board and it's working well for me so far:
2 Pyro (Already have 3 REB MD)
3 Spellskite (Need this vs Zoo/Burn/Heavy Removal)
3 Llawan (Superb with Painter, an alternate wincon that...
@ keys, how goes the grim-transmute list? Ive only found it worth running if I run 4 transmutes and 1-2 intuitions. What I missed was intuition's double tutoring (with welder) and intuitions straight...
I play a super protected combo now, with decent success. The format has slowed because of misstep and you no longer really need the speed of LED IMO. I play the normal list with - 2 mage, - 3 LEDs,...
Agree that I'd love to have 1 MD but it is very antisynergistic with Misstep, REB and Force. If you want to protect your painter from removal, LED doesnt work with counters. I think LEDs would be...
Grats! Forgot about spellskite, it seems the nuts against our worst matchup, zoo. Will play some in the board. Did you feel you needed the LEDs at all? I play zero and I never missed em. Cheers.
True, but 2/2s don't win the game unless you lock it down. Plus assembling a 3 card combo is difficult enough. I think Trinket is an okay filler, its just that there are too many cards competing for...
I dunno, Auriok Salvagers seems cute to me. Wouldn't Llawan just be better? You still lose to needle and it's a 3 card combo. I think it's way too cute to be effective. The deck doesn't have a ton of...
Arg I typed a long post but it got lost!
The MUD-Painter hybrid is inconsistent unfortunately :( . Usually it's easier to just win with Painter. With Mental Misstep, the slots are now really...
Thanks, this is gonna take some testing. I actually really like duplicant, it RFG's their best creature and gives you a big body. You can Transmute it later for a something else like wurmcoil. I'm...
I'm of the opinion that 1-2 Transmutes are good but intuition is just the nuts IMO. It's a triple tutor with Welder on the Table. Don't forget that Intuition gets better after board because it finds...
Yup, we must have at least 1, I'm just unsure if we should run 1,2 or 3. I currently run 3 because I love the speed, but with Missteps, I think we can drop to just 1 copy. So -2 Trinkets, -2 LED, +...
I'm unsure what number of missteps is right, but we HAVE to play it. I'm also of the opinion that we should drop some LEDs if we run Missteps. Reason being that REB/Misstep/Force are pretty bad with...
Chalice is rough, especially on T1. The only out is probably Force. Postboard, some bounce might help. Or you can just go painter +llawan/ Show And Tell plan. It's nice to have alternative plans...
IMO we should not totaly cut REBs from the maindeck. But with Misstep, hmm it's tough. I think a 2/2 split with REB is ok as REB is just so flexible and can deal with nightmare cards like Revoker...
How True, Trinkets and REBs should probably be traded in for Mental Minsstep. Card is insane. It's like all legacy decks will be: -4 of the worst cards in the deck, + 4 Mental Misstep.
I play the 1 Trinket (the other flex being misdirection- proven to be pretty good) and it has been awkward for me too. I like having transmute artifact replacing the 1 trinket since it finds painter!...
