I noticed a player named Simon Hugger has a couple of impressive finishes recently with a UW list.
First, on April 8, he placed 2/71 players: http://www.tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=27269&iddeck=217303...

It also ignores the escalation synergy Brutality has with Lingering Souls and Cabal Therapy. "Cast Collective Brutality, escalate pitching Lingering Souls, kill your Deathrite, discard your Hymn,...
I'm depending on a case of beer, a bottle of aspirin, and Nyx Fit to see me through Eternal Weekend in Pittsburgh. My list most closely resembles one that square_two posted a while ago, though I'm...
What's your thought on Gideon's Intervention for that slot? It's versatile in that it can be both proactive and reactive, and works against both creatures and non-creatures. It's great against many...
You're right, thanks. I edited my last post to reflect that.
I like the list, and will be sleeving up something pretty similar soon. As far as Seal of Primordium goes, we face so many Pithing...
I'm not convinced Dovescape is as powerful as Nether Void in Nyx Fit. The combination of Dovescape with Curse of Death's Hold is great, to be sure, but Dovescape is not as impressive on its own as...
All true. I'm mainly considering it as a way to protect Academy Rector when it enters the graveyard so that its trigger can resolve successfully. I'll soon be testing a build based on Cruel Reality...
Yeah, that's an interesting thought. It protects Rector from both Deathrite Shaman and Surgical Extraction. But it also shuts off our own Starfield and Eternal Witness, cards that I only ever board...
Of all the variants, Nyx Fit stands to gain the most from this set. Cruel Reality and Sandwurm Convergence make me want to relegate Doomwake/Curse/Plane to the sideboard, to be brought in as a hedge...
A couple of weekends ago I brought Nyx Fit to the win-a-mox tournament at Valhalla Games in Columbus, MO. My buddy and I drove four hours Friday to stay with our mutual friend in St. Louis, then...
Excellent thoughts—thank you for sharing them. I may run a Cavern of Souls in place of that third Forest, as you suggested in the primer. I just realized how it breaks the symmetry of Nether Void (my...
This weekend I'm traveling a few hours to play in a win-a-Mox tournament in Missouri. I've never been to the shop that's hosting, so I'm unsure what sort of meta to expect. On the one hand, with a...
To Ulysse95, Navsi, and other Nyx Fitters: I just wanted to say how appreciative I am for your work on this deck. Since sleeving it up, I've never had more fun playing Legacy, and I've benefited so...
I agree with you, Koby. The extra Birchlores only really work to our advantage turn 2 if Nettle Sentinel is in play. Quirion works to our advantage turn 2 if any of the following are in play:...
Julian, wouldn't Faerie Macabre have performed just as well as Surgical Extraction? Or was the ability to rip all extra copies from your opponent's hand/library crucial for you?
Faerie is more...
I haven't played with Surgical Extraction yet, but what you wrote here sounds right to me. It's tempting to sit back and imagine all the possible excellent uses for a card like SE, but this kind of...
I don't see why those examples should strengthen the case for the inclusion of Thorn in the board, since neither of those players ran it at all. It seems good old Cabal Therapy did most of the work...
Lazy and stupid, eh? I see you and The Wizard are cut from the same cloth. Shall we agree to drop the Internet bravado and adopt a more constructive tone?
I'll take a Thorn/Thalia on the board...
Elf decks these days take advantage of the black splash to board in Cabal Therapy in place of Thorn/Thalia. This is in addition to usually 2 Mindbreak Traps. Contemporary elf lists are stronger...
Yup. I feel the latter style of deck reached an admittedly elegant pinnacle in 2011 with David Vo's list from SCG Atlanta. Elves has come a long way since then, with many tournament showings to prove...
I agree entirely that a new thread with a more specific focus would be a great boon to us all. (For my part, as I stated above, I think asking questions is fine; my objection pertained to the...
Really now, I don't feel that ad hominem attacks are warranted.
I too play at a high-tier LGS (Armada Games in Tampa, FL), but to succeed there on Saturday night is in no way comparable to success...
Add me to the list of those who are feeling a bit frustrated that people in this thread continually advocate for outdated, budget and suboptimal lists. I wish only the best to those who play an old...
