    Re: [DTB] Dragon Stompy

    Aether Vial, equipment, small dudes. We don't really care about the big dudes (That's what Bridge is for) so much as aggressive dudes like Delver that can come down and get damage in before our...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    This Tuesday I played a pretty stock GW Maverick in a local. Just 10 people, nothing huge, but I took 1st with a record of 3-0-1. Played against Miracles R1, which I drew against, but I probably...

    It seems like you're missing a bit of context, so allow me to help:

    1.) It's being run as a 2-of by those who have them. No one has suggested more than 3 in the 75, and even then, only as a hedge...
  4. Re: Is 23% of the top spot too much for one deck? How about two?

    If I seem to imply that, my apologies; but no, that's not my intent. I just remember when "strategic diversity" was what we laughed at Vintage players for talking up. No offense to them, of course.
  5. Re: Is 23% of the top spot too much for one deck? How about two?

    I have a feeling that part of the problem is the number of people who started playing Legacy relatively recently. Their expectations for the format are vastly different from those of folks who've...
  6. Re: Is 23% of the top spot too much for one deck? How about two?

    I don't know if that's a function of the MTGO meta bring inbred or the SoCal meta's hostility to Grixis Delver and Pile. The last Knightware Staples event was full of Red Prison and Lands, and most...

    Re: [Deck] Death and Taxes

    Ended up playing against Miracles and UW StoneBlade a truckload of times. Brightling felt great. It+Vial@3 was basically beatable. Shalai...less so. It was probably just a function of the match-up...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    Knight is absolutely a lock piece. The default is Knight->chain Wastelands->kill once they can't deploy threats. That may play out differently depending on the board state, but frankly, Knight often...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    Maverick is as much an aggro deck as Death and Taxes: that is, not at all. Winning with creatures an aggro deck does not make.

    Eldrazi Stompy is aggro, Merfolk is aggro, Burn (in its current...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    I'm a big proponent of Cradle, and to a lesser extent Maze. Cradle lets you crack close games wide open, and doesn't take up as many slots as Stage+Depths (and is good off of a single KotR activation...

    I'm having trouble understanding the hate for Vivien Reid. It's pretty clearly a card that -could- fit in VetEx, Elves, maybe Maverick. She does things that Nissa can't do, like shooting problem...

    Went 4-2, beating Grixis Delver twice, Lands twice, and losing to ANT and Maverick, both of which went to 3 games and had tight finishes. Ended up getting 11th when prizes went down to 10th. :(

    1x Kopala, Warden of Waves
    4x Master of the Pearl Trident
    4x Lord of Atlantis

    So I'm planning on running ZTurgeon's Karn list from a few pages back, with a slightly revised sideboard (as I'm expecting a fair amount of BR Reanimator). Currently, my sideboard stands at:

    Maybe I'm playing this wrong, but I tend to keep hands that can play a lock piece turn 2, and those hands all lead on basic mountain.

    My concern with Karn builds is the impact on Chrome Mox (And the manabases in general, with the addition of Great Furnace). Getting Wasted off red seems rough.

    Could you clarify what you mean by that? Few of my friends know the Deals crew, so I can ask for you.
