I just re-read your article over at MTGS (Past, Present and Future of Survival). Great work and good writing style!
Few questions:
Why do you think/thought blue is the wrong color for this deck?...
I feel 4 Tutor are too much. They are dead cards, as soon as you have Survival. I always hated to draw excess Survival/Tutor in FEB.
The aggro part looks strange. Like if you would play Kird Ape...
Yes, but you can drop lands, if you add Brainstorm/Ponder. 25 Mana sources is good though. I run 19 lands, 4 Bop/Hierarch, 2 Wall of Roots, 1 Ranger, 4 Brainstorm, 2 Ponder.
[...]
Yeah, I know....
I think, Stifle is good on its own on far more things than just mana denial, which obviously doesn't work. (Deed, EE, Storm, Grindstone, ...)
So, was this Delve point really ever relevant?
...
I can't see the advantage here over the Kiki-Jiki/Karmic Guide/Pestermite combo finish.
I mean there is already a very slim version (with more protection and less Plan B), why would Lord make the...
R.I.P. FEB :frown:
Well, seriously, you can no longer put Akroma's combat damage onto the stack, then change the Shifter to Phage and let the damage resolve.
So you attack with Akroma and if he...
Read the card again.

You respond to the CiP trigger, with it's activated ability. Then, at the time, when the CiP trigger resolves, he is already back in your hand, so you don't have...
Let me know, if this is better than maybe 0 Ponder and 21 lands. (or whatever you played before).
Your list looks great, though I don't know if Predator AND Pridemage are necessary.
I still don't get it... What's so special with Cavius that he deserves his own day, that someone spent his time, to make a new logo and to reorganize the forums just for fun...?
He only seems to...
The UUU really shouldn't be a problem... Hey, even the Standard format manages it to cast spells in the same deck that have GG, UUU, RR, W(W) and RBG in their cost.
But it is the best card in...
What about StifleNought in this deck? I play it in my FEB as alternative win condition. Essentially I play it in the place of Spellstutter and Cliques.
What might be also nice then: Rafiq of the...
I like your list very much. It is very similiar to how I would play Full English Breakst nowadays. A few questions:
Did you test ~2 Wall of Roots and/or 1-2 Quirion Ranger instead of two lands and...
ROFL!! :laugh:
Ach Hans, run, it's the Lorescale!
@Skeggi: No it wouldn't.
I can't follow your argumentation and all the hype you are putting into Coatl. Brainstorm and Coatl are just 2 cards, which happen to have synergies. It's not a game winning combo, just a synergy...
Forbiddian, you are talking as if this card is the death of magic, or at least the death of Legacy...
Why is KotR a piece of shit? It is the same to Loam decks, what the Coatl is to Brainstorm...
Was this combo seriously considered too overpowered for Vintage (I guess Mirage and Odyssey were never legal in Extended at the same time)?
Is there a list of all cards that still have power-level...
And why, doesn't this work with the current oracle text?
0: If Frenetic Efreet is in play, flip a coin. If you win the flip, Frenetic Efreet phases out. If you lose the flip, sacrifice Frenetic...

I don't know exactly the ruling on Phasing, but apparently you are allowed to use activated abilities, even if a...
Hey, for me this looks like an auto include in decks like Train Wreck / BG Rock...
In slow control decks, the Pulse ability looks even stronger than the ability to destroy also lands.
I laughed at that. Are you serious? Chalice@2 shuts off more threats than Chalice@1... actual win conditions, not just Brainstorm and Top.
not useful? come on...
The Pile of Misfit Cards
A very nice article about underplayed mana accelerators. I always love to read Doug Linn's articles.
I only miss discussion about Eldamri's Vineyard (+ Magus), which...
I tested both KotR and Kitchen Finks in that slot, but in the end, I found Kitchen Finks improves more matchups (Aggro), due to its lifegain and persist and Slide synergy. Knight was only "win more"...
Great News.
Congratulations for the success.
Keep the good work going!
Who is "they" ?
And so many other decks lose to fast combo, too. So this is really no argument not to play this...
yes. Most of the time, there's only 1 annoying artifact/enchantment. Jitte comes to mind, which you rarely can kill with Predator. It also allows for discarding it, and play Shapeshifter, who then...
