I shouldn't have brought it in and should have brought in another grudge or kept a Force, but it prevents them from fetching for dryad arbor or using green sun's zenith to get their one of ooze or...

Jammed Temur delver yesterday at a local tournament with some good success: I went 3-0-1 against some of this deck’s tougher matchups
I was running Jacob Wilson's list from the invitationals...
Game 3 of Jacob Wilson verse Seth Manfield in the invitationals was a clinic on how to play RUG DELVER, if I could link the video from work I would. His lines baiting Manfield and navigating that...
I have been running a list with 2 forked bolt main and cutting the third spell pierce:
54 core 2 pierce/2 probe/2 forked bolt, and that seems to work best for me when running against elves.
I want...
This is what I appreciate from the Source :smile: It would be great to see you stream and get a fresh perspective on how to pilot this deck!
I have played against elves a hundred times against good pilots, ones who average 7-3 at SCG opens, and Elves is NOT an easy matchup. Saying we have removal for their creatures doesn't mean it is...
I do like this list as it seems very competitive and I agree with Young Pyromancer (I just don't think mongoose cuts it in the meta anymore regardless of the disynergy with Treasure cruise); however,...
I do like this idea, I am gonna run a couple probes and maybe a thoughtscour or two and run this list but with DRS instead of pyromancer and see how smoothly it runs. As a big proponent of mandrills...
I think we can agree that there are merits and reserverations about the card Hooting Mandrills which is what healthy debate is all about. RUG delver is one of the most fun decks to play (in my...
I would say yes, null rod comes to mind but ultimately between pyro blast extra counter magic- k grip/ancient grudge and submerge we don't have much wiggle room for sb 2 maybe 3 cards
I think one important caveat to the recent arguments for Hooting Mandrills is the inclusion of gitaxian probe and possibly thought scour in RUG's stocklist (Probe is just better at getting...
I am going to have to disagree with you on a couple issues assuming we are replacing nimble mongoose with hooting mandrills.
1) The only threats that delver decks REALLY want to deploy on turn one...
Has anyone tried stubborn denial in a mandrills and goyf build? Seems like it is worth testing because it has some lategame potential, spell pierce seems better in most cases- but maybe denial could...
I think 3 Mandrills felt just about right one of the drawbacks is it does drop the threat count to 11 and I didn't want to go below that (I personally dont like TNN mainboard because of the 3 cmc)- I...
I have playtested a couple games with Mandrills and he seemed to work well in the matchups I tested against- BUT- the big difference is I ran 3 of him main and my flex spots, which now are at 7, were...
I don't think Tombstalker is a fair comparison because it costs BB and delve 6. From my expierence RUG operates optimally* off two lands and rarely likes tapping out on its turn; therefore, being...
In playtesting I am going to replace 4 geese with 2-3 copies of this card because ultimately the two just could not co-exist in the deck.
Any gravehate argument for this card can basically be...
I really like Hooting Mandrills in the place of mongoose because it is an answer to the cards that give this deck the most problems: abrupt decay, counterbalance, and True name nemesis.
The only...
I hadn't thought about this but you are absolutely right about POP- It shines against the greedy mana bases that run TNN- I will try running two of these in the board because it so happens to be...
I played in a small tournament last night with some mixed success going 2-2 losing to lands and deathblade and managing to beat imperial painter and miracles. I managed to steal a win from lands...
Thank you much for your response and I think you are right about EE, the more and more I play test with it, I find that as a one-of I never find it when I really need it, but I wouldn't want more...
Hello all,
This is my first time posting on The Source; I have perused the forums for a couple years but now I am actively playing more legacy and wanted to start getting online feedback. I...
