    Re: Braids Stax

    Can certainly try it. Not sure why you don't just go with Bob for card draw though, guy's a human. I have an earlier post in this thread that outlined some experience trying out 3-4 Strike Leader...

    Re: Braids Stax

    This is incorrect. If you have a snake in play at start of upkeep, then Ophiomancer's ability never goes on the stack. You can't sac a snake and then still get another replacement on the same turn,...

    Re: Braids Stax

    FINALLY finished building this deck in paper at Eternal Weekend. Required a couple of Crucibles that I still hadn't gotten around to acquiring.

    Played owerbart's primary list for one of the...

    We got a strict upgrade! :laugh:

    Dunes of the Dead

    Making a 2/2 as opposed to a 1/1 is nice, yeah?

    Re: Braids Stax

    The copter adds a lot of gas to Dragon Stompy (I ran it in main Eternal Weekend event and the filtering was huge), but there is also an absurd amount of bodies to pilot it in that deck. 8...

    Re: Braids Stax

    Which Thalia are you referring to?

    1W oldschool Thalia doesn't work so well with Trinisphere.

    I would be really hesitant to run lands such as Factory, Volrath's Stronghold, Canopy, and Gods'...

    Re: Braids Stax

    And your current sideboard? Opening post lists the 8 Helm/Leyline pieces and then 7 flex. And ouch for Guardian Beast's pricetag in paper. Probably one of the most expensive oddball sideboard...

    Re: Braids Stax

    Thanks owerbart, that does make me feel a lot better about Bottled Cloister, I will give it more of a try. Idea of turn 2 Bottled in order to prevent Thought-Knot just sounds sweet. Any recent...

    What do you feel are the matches we struggle the most against, owerbart?

    I can check my excel sheet once I get home - I keep track of all my online matches and can reference my history playing...

    Re: Braids Stax

    I would love to hear what tweaks you tried with the Sylvan Plug version. That deck looks like a lot of fun.

    Was the green splash really that bad online? I've tried a lot of Braids Stax and other...

    Re: Braids Stax

    Hey all. Found this list on mtggoldfish and found it pretty interesting (credit to user Plainness). Link.

    Basically it is Sylvan Plug but with Tireless Tracker + Smokestack. Plenty of ways to...

    Re: Braids Stax

    Might be able to shave 1 Ensnaring Bridge for another Trading post, or just have a flex spot. I've grown to appreciate Mardu Strike Leader. The dash can be sneaky sometimes :cool:

    Re: Braids Stax

    Anything using the graveyard I think is fairly obvious - Reanimator, Dredge. I side into the combo also against anything where both Trinisphere and Chalice are not very good, like various stompy...

    Re: Braids Stax

    New card spoiled for SoI.

    I could see this as a 1 or 2-of for the decks that choose to not run Crucible. I wouldn't mind getting a single stax effect out plus this land while I'm waiting for more...

    It's taken me about a week of fairly consistent online play to really get this deck down. Or start to, at least. The mulligan decisions can be really difficult, as well as the lines of play for...

    Quick aside: I just read about a cute interaction with Sundial of the Infinite and Smokestack. Would work with Braids as well. Has it ever been tested? I'm assuming it not playing well with...
