Scab clan berserker for blue control decks seems to be common right now
I've done some brief testing with her. only got a few activations as she was mostly killed on sight, but seems powerful in that slot. the discard is definitely nice with bridge. the mana cost was...
tested out the dragon stax list last night. definitely made a few crucial play errors but I really like the dragon/bridge synergy. unfortunately one game I got wrecked by gadddock teeg.
I'm going...
why play Flagstones when you have no Armageddon? those could just as easily be plains or more Factory/mutavault. I like the concept here, but it seems excruciatingly difficult to finish three rounds...
I had moderate success with Avalanche rider in the mono-humans style builds a while back, but I don't know how viable that is these days.
I really like this idea. looks fun, may have to try it next week.
I think I would drop the timely reinforcements and 1 mox diamond for 3 o-ring and a 25th land. Definitely want to be hitting land...
I always forget how many applications canonist has, that is a much smoother solution with recruiter.
with the up-tick in storm, is it worth considering 1-2 thorn of amethyst or extra Vryn in the board? possibly in place of 1 gideon (I've been on the RW build with 1 in the board) seems strong to me...
Gotcha, read that as you found the list and used it to take down a tournament
Congrats, I like the list, do you mind posting what you went up against? the only MD removal you have is jailer, how did that feel?
any changes you would make?
can we get some data on land count v build people are on?
I've always felt most comfortable at 25 lands + 3 spirit guide for the colorless build.
I think noloam is on 24?
o sower builds...
as much as I love Lodestone Golem, I don't really think it has a place in this deck(Thalia stompy). I've played it with good results in a much more prison oriented version of this deck(7 Thalia, 4...
was going to try one of the oblivion builds tonight, until I realized I only own 2. hopefully I can grab 2 more at the store tonight.
my meta is loaded with daze, force etc. so I'm more inclined...
I don't know why I wrote that (probably because I typed up this post before I had my coffee) I was planning on testing Armageddon in this list, that's why flagstone.
also, I trimmed a Displacer...
doesn't do much against U/R delver because price still counts all of your "non-basic mountains"
great against miracles, shuts off all of their fetch lands making their mana choices much more...
my list after a few weeks of testing. mostly 3-1 finishes at my lgs. sideboard is still in Flux so not posting that for now.
Creatures
2x Phyrexian Revoker
4x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben

easy there guy. I actually do intend on testing the card and have been looking at it as a removal option for a while, but no amount of testing is going to change how the card works.
this forum is...
none of our tax effects tax activated abilities, so that logic doesn't work.
not saying declaration isn't worth testing, just that the logic behind your reasons doesn't work. also, since...
do play primarily online or in paper? curious because if paper I'd like to know what your meta looks like and how you feel about playing this deck with no cavern of souls.
I like the go-big...
thanks for the detailed report. we're you happy with the one-of city of Traitors? did 4 mox diamond ever feel like too many? and lastly were you happy with only 2 reality smasher
I've held back...
if youre looking at sorcery speed answers, have you considered oblivion ring? 1 more mana, but answers a lot more than just creatures.
I may test out 2x containment priest, I've been messing...
sideboard advice: learn the format.
hell sideboard advice is so subjective. There's like 3-4 different versions of miracles right now. learn the format, figure out what's popular in your meta,...
especially with the token producers. say you are about to be forced into attacking into an unfavorable board state with 2 rabblemaster, you can tap them both to crew your ship/car/train/space boat...
thanks for the thorough response, and also everyone else for their responses. I believe I was just approaching the match ups wrong last week and had a bit of a bad luck streak (dredge guy had me t2...
do you guys have some pointers for the mana less Dredge match up? I don't see the deck very often but lately there's been a few at my local weekly event. just not sure the best way to attack the...
