I rarely find myself wanting to shuffle away missteps, but finding room for 4 will probably be pretty difficult - and without blue mana it is another life loss card, so using 4 is probably not a good...

yeah, I wouldn't even hesitate to cut gatekeepers for missteps in the current meta and dealing with mana issues - it makes T1 Hymn/misstep plays pretty back breaking too. yeah, I'd start there -...

I'm going to agree with tim regarding nighthawk - nighthawk is generally not worth playing. For a long time I thought I was winning games with him, then I realized I was winning games because I...

haha...yeah, discard and land were probably my next suggestion as well. Discard can probably go to a minimum of 6, but I would caution against cutting your 1cmc discard too deep - it really is...

There's nothing wrong with disliking E-Tutor, it's strictly a preferance call. It is card disadvantage after all, and it's relatively slow, it was a tough sell for me at first too.

If you don't...

No, I haven't given up on it. The downside is that it's foiled by much of the same hate that our win-con's are (Qasali Pridemage, K-Grip, etc), so it's value has gone down IMHO. Also, it doesn't...

Well, gravehate is important, I'm struggling with that too atm. Extirpate seems like the right card for the job, but I can't justify running it when I can tutor for Metamorph to shore up matches...

Dick, that's super secret tech that you're not supposed to be spreading! lol.

I mentioned that card to a very good local player and he started running it in his white lists...and just recently...

I generally agree here. I've been steadilly trimming Plague from my 75 - I started with 4 and I just keep cutting them. Also, Plague's are generally only extremely effective if you land 2. Landing 1...

My thoughts on wastelands? Well, it's a tough call. If you are determined to run 2 colors then wasteland generally won't hurt you (very often), so it doesn't make sense to really remove them from...

that's a lot of information on a report man - bummer on the finish, but at least you had a chance to pilot to a few wins.

So rather than talk about blue specifically, I'll talk about...

hahaa...no, it's a fair jab, I definately made those comments. But people that are already preaching about running misstep probably don't have room to complain about me splashing for a couple other...

well, I've been screwing around with a deadguy list that splashes blue for brainstorm, misstep and Shadowmage Infiltrator. I went 1-2 with it at a local on Thursday...tweeked it a bit and took it to...

I'm not saying that Esper would run gatekeeper, I'm just saying that there are a lot of cards that they do run and that we run. Hell, not even all DGA lists can run gatekeeper....I run 6 non-black...

haha, I'm an idiot - for some reason I missed that he has the tramps.



Do you still run Wasteland in a list with blue? Do you change the creaturebase, would now be a good time to reconsider...

To me, including mirran crusader is a poor choice. He's small bodied for his mana cost, and dilluting the mana base to run something with double white is simply not worth the risk of loosing to...

Here's my thing with Percy vs Oblit:

I think ultimately, Percy's biggest downside is the fact that you can't just swap him in for 3-4 other cards, you really have to re-craft your deck to build...

Yeah, there are 2 distinct converstations going on here:

1. Potential need for alternative finishers - and what are the options.

2. Cards to shore up the Zoo match up.

Something that could...

taco, that's an excellent point about life as a resource and choice of discard spells.

Thoughtseize and bob can make for some pretty tight games against agressive decks, and you need to watch what...

Perish is absolutely necessary against Zoo - Hierarchs, Nacatls, Pridemages, Goyfs, and possibly Knight of the Reliquary (in big zoo decks) are all threats that we have to answer in this matchup....

you have to save your removal and discard for their lords, run E-plague after board, and play around daze/cursecatcher.

merfolk plays 8 cards that are straight-up card disadvantage (FoW + Vial),...

As far as equipment goes...I will never cut Jitte or SoFI from my list. Jitte is a swiss army knife and SoFI is the most consistent fast clock and only equipment that flat out draws you cards when...

Since I've started running this deck I've looked for ways to pull nighthawk. 2 power for 3 mana is incredibly underpowered in this format, and horribly slow. I'd love to find a more efficient...

This deck was originally a black deck that splashed white for swords and vindicate. Changing to a white based deck is fine, but running stuff like Mirran Crusader in order to forego stuff like Hymn,...

Crusader is generally not established in DGA because we are black based (not white) and it can create issues with the mana base. Some of the more white-based lists (4 SFM, etc) are now making use of...
