    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    More than awkward openers, I would argue that Daze and Invigorate are the bigger reasons that this is a 4 Tropical Island deck.

    I definitely understand your point, and I think as many as 3 basic...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Small point, but DnT definitely sides out all Revokers against Infect. They are some of the worst cards in the maindeck. You name Noble Hierarch on the play and its not completely useless, but it is...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    The GG on Vines can be tough, it is one of the big reasons that Noble Hierarch is so good. The deck is deceptively mana hungry, and nearly all of it is colored mana while we have to play at least 4...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Other people covered a lot of it, but I'll add my thoughts.

    The biggest strike against Dryad Arbor is when you draw it naturally. If I could always have a Dryad Arbor floating around in my deck...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    That's exactly the idea. Our game plan is generally to win as soon as possible while avoiding blowouts, but there are matchups where we will run into a lot of resistance and just jamming Invigorates...

    I played this list in two 3-rounders over the last two days, going a total of 5-1.

    Ladies and Gentleman, long time no see!

    I will admit I have been neglecting our Phyrexian overlords for a while because I had little interest in playing against the Grixis Delver menace or decks...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Short answer to this question is yes. That card is a nightmare.

    This is also coupled with the fact that Baleful Strix decks are often packed full of card that we don't want to play against,...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    Keep in mind that this only works if they wait until it is already a creature, which can be risky in any case because of Vines. They do lose the flexibility of holding up Wasteland until after we go...

    That is pretty interesting. I am realizing now that in one post I said 'there aren't any sacred cows other than the creatures, Brainstorm, and Invigorate' and then in my next post I actually said...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    The Might of Old Krosa was good. If I want a sixs pure pump spell then I am really torn between the first Might and the second Become. The first 4 Invigorates are the best pump spells by far, and the...

    Went 9-3 over two 6 round Legacy events this weekend.

    First was Saturday Legacy at Hareruya. 6 rounds of Swiss, went 5-1, good enough for 2nd place overall.
    List was as follows:...

    Re: [Deck] U/G Infect

    It is a reasonable option against anything with removal or Wasteland, but ideally you want it when it can hit multiple categories of things that will target your lands. If there are 8~12 targets for...

    Re: [DTB] U/G Infect

    It is annoying how Nature's Claim is the best possible artifact/enchantment answer for us except for exactly, specifically Chalice of the Void and nothing else.

    I don't think you need any Krosan...

    Right, if we are just specifically talking about Arbor most people have stopped playing it at this point. If you are playing against barages of big creatures you have to chump and Diabolic Edicts,...

    Right, I would never cut Library for it. Library has its own strengths and weaknesses, but overall it's the best things you can be doing in that slot.

    Jace is cheap, on color, and has a unique,...

    I would like to hear the logic behind the black splash. I certainly understand the appeal of Abrupt Decay. I have thought about black before, but it did not seem like the benefits outweighed the...

    It is fine but not spectacular. As you can imagine, if it survives it generates a lot of value, but it is extremely fragile. I would tend to prefer it against something like BUG that will generally...

    Re: [DTB] U/G Infect

    I think it is a playable sideboard card, but I have never really felt it was worth a slot. Against Eldrazi, Mimics dodge it, TKS gets value on the way in, Endbringer doesn't care (as much), and they...

    I think your list seems pretty solid. There is nothing too fancy going on, but it is pretty close to a stock list and it is consistent and well rounded. I have been fairly unimpressed with Spell...

    Congrats on the good finish! Shame you couldn't take down the whole thing, but there is a LOT of hateful stuff going on in that Depths deck.
