    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    I have a wall of text. Personal stuff up top. Decklist and conclusions below.

    I'm putting it out there: this past weekend signified the end of competitive paper Magic for me. I've...

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    Agreed with this. Two also gives you insurance against wasteland. Overgrown Tomb isn’t terrible to play with for budget reasons, but there really needs to be at least 1 Bayou if possible.

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    If the meta your friend told you is correct, I would be overly cautious and run more basics. You’re very vulnerable to wasteland and blood moon. Cut 2 fetchlands and add 2 basics. Devoted Druid...

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    If this was toward my recent post above, I was referring to a dedicated NO-BUG deck (8 dork, blue shell of counters/cantrips) possibly being better suited than cramming NO into a BUG-flavored Nic Fit...

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    I agree with Brael on this one. Brainstorm is really stretching the deck for no reason. Either go deep into blue for cantrips and synergy or stay out of it. 1 trop could probably be reliable enough...

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    Every event I go to I see a ton of marit tokens. Edict isn't as strong as PTE in my experience because anything that's not lands.dec has fodder to toss instead of the asshole you want dead.

    @Mr. Safety
    I needed to see your post because it's a thought experiment I also want to figure out.

    I'll work with Junk-Fit, as that's what I prefer to run with. From what I've gathered, Turbo...

    Unless I’m running Reactor, I wouldn’t bother with Recruiter (and even then I’d have to make cuts to include it).
    As for NicFit lists, the Dino-fit concept I ran across on Reddit gave me ideas. I...

    @Arianrhod: I'm convinced we don't need library for Scape-Fit, given the card draw options available. Costly plunder + Tracker synergize very well and that's only 1 config.

    There are a lot of really cool ideas but I can't help but feel something big is missing. Since the meta is self-described as "super fair", I think you should find more value in some of the spells you...

    Against fair decks, this has potential. Against Delver I feel you're vulnerable to counters. Against combo (say, Storm) or something like Lands what is this thing doing? Storm goes off before this is...

    I'll join the recent discussion about Nic Fit ideas. Not sure if I'll be able to play my monthly this weekend or not.

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    Deluge and Deed do the heavy lifting. Double TNN can be problematic though (seeing 1 after a board wipe or a fast 2x TNN in opening 3 turns). I'd hedge my bets by having board wipes. Junk can run...

    I can't justify his paper price. He's a "maybe" card in the decks I run. I think Nic Fit just ramps bigger tbh.

    @Brael has most of this. I'll raise some ideas that possibly justify running that many intents.

    I don't see Tracker doing much tbh. I think at best he's win-more material since he does nothing on his own and requires quite the board state to produce anything substantial. I'd rather run a...

    With Top gone, I don't know if I want to go Junk for its plethora of removal or something else for a combo win. The downside is that Nic Fit has trouble with countermagic.
