  1. [12/01/2018] - [Austin,TX] - Romancing the Stones Invitational - Tourny Report (1st)

    This was an invitational capping a year-long season of Vintage (and one Old School) events, where each winner earned a seat at the invitational itself.
    The announcement for the tournament can be...

    We used to play 22 to 23 lands in this deck.

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I'm posting this in the RUG forum because it is spiritually a RUG deck. If I post it over on the BUG thread they're just going to tell me to cut Stifles and run a pile of bad cards like Hymn to...

    Re: [Deck] Blade Control

    You are looking at manabases and thinking they tell you the entire story of how the game plays out.


    For example, against Delver, if your 3-mana sorcery resolves, you're either still dead or...

    Re: [Deck] Blade Control

    Personally, I'd rather have Baleful Strix over Lingering Souls almost always. I want a high blue count so I actually have options when I discard.
    Do not play Daze in this deck. Similarly, do not...

    What is Grip of Phyrexian? What do you mean by flux? Grip of Phyresis, which is terrifying but ultra narrow.

    Re: [Deck] Blade Control

    Generally, without fast mana it just doesn't do anything.

    Specifically, in this deck:
    1. It cripples your own mana development even before you cast it because you have to find your own basics. ...

    Re: [Deck] Blade Control

    It's pretty simple, the proven formula is to play 4 snapcasters, play 6-8 removal, and Grim. This puts you in a position to crush creature decks, and still able to board in more than enough to be...

    Don't play Daze in your deck that wants to cast a 3-drop into a 4-drop.

    Re: UWR Saheeli

    I want to hate this deck, but it honestly doesn't look that bad. The combo is pretty clunky, and the deck is extremely mana hungry, but the threat of comboing off is powerful in this kind of control...

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Indeed, this is why people are doing it, but it's not a good reason to cut Nimble Mongoose. Instead, it's a good reason to play more removal. Our mana denial deck does not want a mana dork in play....

    I have used Hangarback Walker as Baleful Strix 5-6 and found that it does a very good impression. It's probably better than Glint-Nest Crane because a 1/3 can't really block anything, where...

    It's not a Miracles deck; it's Mentor Control.
