I think I would take Ozy's list and cut Uros and probably a Forked Bolt for 2x Klothys and 2x Brazen Borrower. This gives you a strong anti-Uro package and you keep your grinding power against the...

Well, it seems like for posterity's sake, someone should remark upon the state of RUG Delver after the Labe/Oko/Dreadhorde bannings. Call me old fashioned, but I just don't see the appeal of posting...

Oko is quite powerful and can always be pitched to Force of Will so I like playing 3. I think people trimming on Oko are typically trying to squeeze more Tarmogoyfs in the deck, which really help in...

-Regarding the shroud RUG variant, I do recall Jonathan Alexander playing a Delverless Mongoose/Mandrills/TNN/Winter Orb version designed to prey on Miracles decks with Sensei's Divining Top...

@ Jackabo
-I appreciate your reply. Hooting Mandrills is definitely my favorite among the various green beaters: Hooting Mandrills, Nimble Mongoose, Tarmogoyf and Hexdrinker. I certainly I think...

Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the post-Lurris metagame. I figured I would share my results through six leagues and discuss some of my conclusions. I primarily played a configuration with...

I definitely agree. I don't know if people want to talk about a Delver-less build in this thread but this is what I have been trying lightly:

1 Dryad Arbor
3 Grove of the Burnwillows
4 Misty...

Magmatic Sinkhole is a pretty solid 1-of to have in your 75 if you're not on Hooting Mandrills. However, Oko does a similiar kind of thing (later game removal) and can single-handedly win the game in...

I feel like your last Challange list should have a pretty reasonable elves match-up. A bunch of removal, Wren and Six, and Hooting Mandrills are all pretty good against them. You could probably...

The card is amazing. Even if the recurring Wastelands or the -1 ability aren't very relevant, the +1 ability at least combos with Brainstorm and you can always dome your opponent with the -1. I think...

I would have to concur that this deck crushes Maverick right now. Wrenn and Six and True-Name are wildly good against them.

Well I don't mean to spam this thread with references to Youtube page so I'll stop after this. But I did run a list with Hexdrinker through a league and record, just see the my link in my signature....

@Ralf - Generally speaking, I believe the way to play Hexdrinker is generally to level it up to Level 3 in one turn. Opponents will be trying to get us to sink our mana into Hexdrinker and then...

Hello folks. I thought I would post an update on my attempts to conquer the league metagame with RUG. Here is what I have been playing:

4 Wasteland
8 Fetch
3 Tropical Island
3 Volcanic Island
...

Well I played some more leagues over the pass couple days. I cut a spell snare from the main for another spell pierce and basically ran this sideboard:

3 Tormod's Crypt
3 Pyroblast
3 Abrade
2...

I jammed some leagues over the weekend with a list around here:

4 Wasteland
4 Flooded Strand
4 Polluted Delta
3 Tropical Island
3 Volcanic Island

4 Delver of Secrets
4 Nimble Mongoose

You can also snag Death's Shadow.

@Qweerios
-One of the biggest reasons I run Stifle over Spell Snare mainboard is because I'm playing online where Show and Tell is on the uptick and I just can't afford to have a counterspell that...

Regarding counterspell selection, I've been running the 3 Spell Pierce 3 Stifle split maindeck with 2 Spell Snare and 3 Pyroblast in the sideboard for years now.
-Stifle isn't the best on the draw...

Compared to the other options:
-Surgical Extraction is just too flimsy. Everyone expects Surgical Extraction and has some kind of gameplan against it. Surgical Extraction typically doesn't get it...

Here is where I'm at:

4 Wasteland
4 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
3 Tropical Island
3 Volcanic Island

4 Delver of Secrets
3 Noble Hierarch

When I tried Noble Hierarch, I also concluded a 16 land build without Wasteland might be the way to go since drawing Noble Hierarch is basically the same as drawing a land. However, Winter Orb would...

I've been playing RUG in leagues the past two weekends. I believe I've had 3 4-1's, 5 3-2's and 2 2-3's. Good not great. I think RUG is definitely the best tempo deck in legacy. I'm trying to sort my...

Nimble Mongoose is only better against Swords to Plowshares, and there are some corner cases like Maze of Ith, Jace, and Jitte activation. Sylvan Library, Winter Orb and Abrade/Ancient Grudge can...

Winter Orb is going to be a house in the post-ban metagame.
