I never said Needle should/ shouldn't be sided against Storm. I'm mocking you thinking this is what I'm proposing (i.e a pure mana denial tool) with Needle/ Glass. It's hilarious you then write a...

Again, depends on the match and the pacing. If I'm playing against red sneak attack or old miracles, it's obvious what to name at any stage of the game. Play against any artifact based deck and elves...
Revoker isn't competing in the same slots as spyglass. I am not angry at all. I'm being blunt people like you are distorting everything I am saying. I said "hey this is a card you may want to try...
You are the one not comprehending what I am saying. I refetenced standard because you brought up the "oh people realized this was how needle should be played". Again, what does that have to do with...
The problem with Revoker is that it's a very reactive card. When you see a problematic permanent on the field, it's just more rational to the permanent you see instead of something potentially more...
What kind of nonsense logic are you using? How is can = should in any context? One is optional and the other is suggesting imperative. Learn the difference. I can also name situations where glass...
Hilarious. I use the word "can" and you go all crazy on me. Fetchlands are the most common type of lands in the game, so it's not a rare fluke that you name a fetchland off a spyglass when your...
Sorcerous Spyglass has been superb in testing. There were games where I played 1 in main and games where I just played 1 in the side. Both times, it saved me the game. Being able to see your...
My experience is good 3-color deck players don't try to play around Wasteland. One of the first few tips a 3-color Delver player receives is to simply fetch duals unless you know a Blood Moon is...
Necropouncer is way too expensive to play. In fact, I wouldn't play it even if it was 3 cmc. This deck already has a hard time casting Batterskull. Playing Thalia + Wasteland means you're going down...
My experience with Czech Pile is I don't want the game to go long, because they have plenty of ways to establish 2-for-1s. I see it the same way I viewed the old Miracle matches, where if I didn't...
Sorcerous Spyglass is an interesting new card that I think could see main deck play. It has powerful mana denial application against hands full of fetchlands (not exactly uncommon), the hand...
I think Dusk/Dawn is a card that's well worth the consideration in the Gideon vs Cataclysm debate. I'm surprised it's been this overlooked. Being able to wipe power 3 or greater is a sweet spot that...
I've seen some lists that play SoL but honestly, the card is so bad. I laugh when people talk about "oh but you can vial it in response to their brainstorm" when the card does nothing in way too many...
How do you control the board when they're removing cards left and right with 2-for-1s? Toxic Deluge, K-command, Snapcaster Mage, Liliana multiple edicts, 4 Baleful Strix, etc. This is what makes...
The deck doesn't have the consistency to find such sideboard cards. Even for things like Palace Jailer, we're playing 3 copies at the most if we're playing 2 Recruiter of the Guards. Maintaining...
It's been discussed before - an interesting engine but not the best fit here. Like Bee said, it's basically Maverick because that deck utilizes Excavator much better than this deck does.
I would...
4 life seems way too much for this card to be playable. Against Czech Pile it might be okay but against any other creature based match-up... not being able to play defense without losing life is a...
If you disagree, feel free to point it out what you think I'm wrong about.
Your argument seems to revolve around "he can always get equipment triggers" and that's a weak point. Why? Because...
The card is bad. And not because it dies to removal like colo said, which kind of doesn't matter because every flyer in this deck dies to most removals.
The reason Serra Avenger is playable is...
Dude very few Czech Pile decks ever run lightning bolts because they favor a playset of fatal push. The deck is primarily Black and Blue, with small red and green splash, so a smart 4C control deck...
Playing patiently is how you lose this match-up. Excessively playing around one card could easily cost you the game that you could have won in 2-3 turns earlier. There is no way to play around these...
I mean you have to read the situation - these are just general guidelines for what you should do. By all means StP the Deathrite Shaman if you see your opponent miss a 2nd land drop and shuffle their...
Verdict is kind of out on Grixis Delver but based purely on statistics, the 'average' player is not favored to win. Czech Pile is definitely unfavorable because they have all the removal spells in...
There's no way getting around it. For all you know, you could be playing around a hand that doesn't have any counterspells or you'll just face a Force of Will regardless of whether you play it turn 1...
