    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    Just as a note, you cannot get Portable Hole with the last chapter of Urza's Saga. Still like everything I see though, interested in seeing further development.

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    Doesn't Blood Moon kill Urza's Saga? It turns it into a Mountain with no chapter abilities but it's still a saga, and part of a saga is when it has lore counters greater than or equal to the last...

    Okay, now I will build Parfait.

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    Really it's just the Courts.
    If you can hide behind RiP/Energy Field then either will accrue both card advantage and game advantage value to death.
    It's not totally bulletproof, but if they tap out...

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    I've been talking myself in circles about brewing a UW Parfait list using the new Court of Cunning and Court of Grace. Cunning seems like a slam dunk under Rest in Peace, no accidentally powering up...

    Idea: UWg Parfait with Astrolabe, Oko & Veil

    Thoughts: Daze was fun, but Veil is better. City of Traitors always worked well with Land Tax, and City also works well with Astrolabe to power out a...

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    Disappointing 0-3 with the deck.

    Deck really felt like I was playing Pox: I played general hardships for my opponent, but never a clock. Further it played like it was essentially a Sorcery speed...

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    The Oboro was more a joke how Daze returns a land but affects little else in a normal course of the game. I wouldn't seriously consider them in any list.

    Orim's Chant always pulled me more into a Quinn-ward direction, but I can see the value you're suggesting. With the new EE land I was musing a Standstill variant to turtle-counter-turtle until the...

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    So I went 2-2 with a UW list similar to the 10th place SGC list last week at the store with only 4 Daze in the main as stack interaction. It just seemed wrong to establish massive card advantage and...

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    If by pump you mean draw a card; no. It's a triggered ability that triggers on life gain, regardless of the amount. so if Ivory Tower gains you 3 life, that's one trigger, one chance to draw a card.

    In a world without Top, Quinn is a shell of itself. Scrying Sheets was never supposed to be random, but those days are gone now. Like tears in the rain.

    Do not get me wrong, When Energy Field worked, it was great. But it's not enough of a lock to just play the long game. Being just one Abrupt Decay away from losing it all was an awful feeling. My...

    The problem I was having with the UW version and Energy Field, and the same for considering Web of Inertia is that both only prevent combat to you. My backup win condition were planeswalkers like...

    No that's exactly the sentiment that I was getting from my playtesting. I kept tweaking cards between matches, so what sits before me is now:

    3 Snow-Covered Island
    4 Snow-Covered Plains
    4 Flooded Strand

    So I've had a pile that has shifted from Mighty Quinn to Parfait to Landstill and was on its way to becoming Miracles, just in time for the Top ban. So now that there is a massive power vacuum, I was...

    Good to see this still being worked on. I don't see why Quinn, although now essentially abandoned, gets to be Established while this flavor of monowhite is relegated to New and Dev.
