I'm interested in giving it a try. I don't know that all you'd need to cut would be Ad Nauseam: we'd need another way to tip the scales in our favor after giving our opponents a fresh set of seven...
Yeah, I think you're right on both counts. It's interesting to me because I've been kicking around a white splash independently (Monastery Mentor seems good even when we have trouble building spell...
Weeeeheeeheeeeeell, Timetwister seems pretty cool.
There's still hope for Maygick, even in these dark times.
Ye_old_storm_boy, Fangzie speaks the truth.
The metagame is in a really unstable place right now, largely because of the London mulligan. I would keep testing with proxies and/or shocklands to see...
So for people who've been practicing online of late, can anyone provide a damage report regarding the London mulligan?
Welcome to the Resistance.
I'm not sold on Phoenix on paper (lol). Has some distinct advantages over Empty the Warrens: not vulnerable to Staticaster/Golgari Charm/etc., has evasion and haste, and only needs a spell count and...
Is the consensus at this point that eight discards are better than seven and a Rain of Filth? I love to make it rain and don't like flooding on discards in a number of matchups, but I'm open to...
In my experience, making more than ten goblins on turn 1 is relatively uncommon. I don't think that's something on which we can rely to win us the game except against specific decks that are known to...
In my experience, if you're looking to optimize Ad Nauseam the best piece of business to have in doubles is actually Tendrils. I'm with you, though; Petition is the most flexible business spell we...
The main thing is that Past in Flames is just spectacular against countermagic. Not sure how the loss of Probe has impacted Petition strategies, but we've probably lost much of the speed advantage we...
I'm pretty sure the "no mana" phrase on Lavinia is a blanket for Petals, Forces, Summoner's Pacts, and Ancestral Visions.
Well, the good news is that we can still cast 0-costed stuff to build...
Thanks a lot for the response, CyrusCG!
Do you mean that you can use the discards against their combo and use Xantid Swarm against their disruption when you're comboing off? Just making sure...
How often are you bringing in Swarm, and how often is it performing better than a discard? I ask primarily because I remember your saying at one point (on a stream, I think) that a big advantage you...
YOU GOT THE TOUCH! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A52--FKUQgU
Yep; Eldrazi just has it pretty much every time they don't lead with a sol land into a Mimic. Bad matchup is bad. I still prefer fighting Reanimator over Eldrazi.
EDIT: For that matter, I'd prefer...
I know you weren't asking me, but a couple of things:
—Flusterstorm is for fighting combo decks. It's not terrible with Infernal Tutor; just wait to keep an extra blue mana open, fire the Tutor,...
Drowned Secrets looks interesting.
Holy spice cabinet, Batman!

Anybody tried anything remotely like this? Feels much more TES/Belcherish than what we're doing, but I'm curious to hear...
Pretty much exactly what happens every time I lose to D&T, which is more times than I'd like. Postboard, I either go off T1–2 or they just start playing an endless succession of bears.
Your...
Thanks for the responses!
I didn't concede either time it happened. First time, the opponent just started playing Anglers and beat me down because I couldn't find anything quickly enough. The...
Whew! Finally got to take the deck out for a spin at the local after a bit of a hiatus. Went ok; 2–0–1, and my round 3 opponent (in the draw round) conceded and gave me packs. David T, you're a good...
Not gonna lie, that Tendrils for 2 was pretty spectacular. Well done!
I see the argument for this, but why would we start running it only now? DRS still wasn't capable of handling everything Intuition would put in the 'yard, so what makes Intuition better than what...
Switch Probes to 2x Burning Wish, 2x Rite of Flame. BAM.
