Yes, of course. In my experience Delver decks are about 50-50 but you need to be careful about sequencing your spells.

IMHO worst thing is landing Cloudpost on the draw and getting it wastelanded....

In your scenario (necessity of 2 early mana), City of Traitors gives us at least 4 mana before dieing (2 mana the turn it comes into play, other 2 mana the next turn before landing another land),...

Don't think you ever played SnT against DnT.
It's probably one of the worst matchups for SnT (now it has become even worse), and judging from your considerations I don't think you realize it.

That's exactly what I did too before testing the deck.

The only other change in the maindeck was -1 Inventors's Lair, + 1 Ghost Quarter.

True, but I feel the new version of D&T (with Recruiter and Prelate) is slightly more favorable then the old: Prelate is really strong of course, but they are a bit slower in setting up the board and...

I won a small 15-man tournament some days ago with this deck: 3-2 in the swiss (lost to BR Reanimator and D&T, won against ANT and Shardless), then I defeated two D&T in a row FTW.

Stock list with...

I don't get how you can consider RUG Delver like the most favorable of the Delver matchups for Ponder Miracles.
IMHO it's by far the most difficult, like 50-50.

The most favorable seems to be...

I love both Gurmag and Stalker, but I guess Gurmy is better for heavy tempo strategies (it lands earlier), while Tomby is better for grindy strategies (it can fly over blockers and close out games):...

Sure it is great and can win games by itself, and I too played it in the Stifle/Bob version where it is undoubtedly superior to Stalker, but maybe you should ask yourself why did you cast it only...

Why don't you try 2x Tombstalker or a 1/1 split Stalker/Gurmag angler in place of the 2 Nemesis?
Granted Nemesis is better than Stalker in certain matchups (Miracles comes to mind), but Stalker is...

@ mosaic

Yes, I agree: Nemesis is better in certain metas, but it also fits better certain TA builds.

When I was playing Stifle/Bob version, my creature of choice was Nemesis and not Stalker....

I find Tombstalker to be really underrated.

Most people say it's bad against white because of StP and RIP, but I never side it out vs D&T (which plays both) and, even if sometimes they land turn-2...

About the Eldrazi matchup...


I recently played a local tournament where I faced Eldrazi 3 times: 2 in the Swiss (2-1 win) and 1 in semifinal (1-2 lose).
I play 12 creatures + 2 Stalkers, Hymn...

The anti-synergy with Loam is the main reason why I don't like the "black build" with Vortexes and Decays maindeck: it's interesting for sure and opens up our sideboard to discard (Bob is cool too),...

Hi guys, I recently tested the Eldrazi Stompy matchup: preboard games seems orrible (all countermagic is bad: both FoW and Daze suck hard, Pierce is even worse), while postboard games are better...

I don't get it: Tidespout is not legendary, so Karakas does nothing to it.
And you can't Revoke him since its ability is not activated.

In fact, Tidespout is maybe the best fatty to reanimate...

You're right, FoW will probably be useless against TKS because of Cavern... well, that's the card which scares me the most.
But we have many combo pieces (8x fatties and 8x enablers) and lots of...

1) I never played it yet, but I guess Eldrazi Stompy is a good matchup on the paper.
Both Chalice and Trini do nothing on our combo pieces, and while Chalice is annoying because they can land it on...

Thanks, I already knew what Probe does :wink: :tongue:
And I love the card so much that I even play it in Canadian Threshold (besides ANT and the DTT Omnitell, of course), so I'm not biased against...

I never played Probe in this deck and I never really understood why most players prefer it to Preordain: we don't play Cabal Therapy and we don't use our graveyard, so I guess Preordain is the best...

I'm with Bobmans on this: finding both Dread of Night you sided in is very difficult at worst, and will require a lot of time and resources at best. I wouldn't bet on it.

Dread is best when you...

Hi guys, a couple of questions.

1) What's the plan against D&T --> Thalia and Canonist (plus Mother or runes' protection)?
It seems to me the red splash (Pyroclasm, Sudden shock) or the black...

I already read that post (and at least the last 10 pages of this thread), and that list of yours was the very reason why I asked if dropping brainstorm was viable.

Hi guys,

in your opinion, is it so terrible to cut Brainstorm in UG builds using Ancient Stirrings?
Between 4x Stirrings and 4 Top I guess the deck has enough filtering to find the cards we need....

No, it's not like saying that.

Even if Delver doesn't flip immediately, it's not card disadvantage and it will flip on the next turn or 2.
And the "free a bolt" argument is simply nonsense.
