Look at the top 8. If the metagame is overrun by Merfolk, Delver, TNN decks then Llawan is just an I win button. Against UWR, Llawan + any kind of board presence is game. Interesting sideboard...

Scroll only gets blue instants, sadly.

There's a big difference between being comfortable piloting storm for your weekly 4-rounder and a 9-rounder + top 8. The deck is very mentally tiring, because if you screw up you just lose. With...

Not to pick on your list in particular but I am curious as to how people are blurring the line between BUG control and tempo. The lack of synergy between shaman and goose? The presence of hymn...

Envelop is stronger if all you have is FoW and Pierce maindeck. If you are running Daze/Stifle, Flusterstorm becomes significantly more powerful.

Wow. Here's to hope we see Imperial Recruiter in the future.

SCG Cinci fail report:

I had been testing Krosan Grip with some success in the two weeks prior to SCG Cinci, but obviously three drops are terrible with Ad Nauseum. I was mainly gunning for...

That depends entirely on the context of given information. Do you know their hand/ what deck they are playing? Do you have a 2nd counter or a delver on the board that can exploit tempo? Is it...

This card solves so many problems, I predict it will be worth splashing in the decks there were already running seas. Most storm decks are packing 2-3 bounce spells which seems largely inferior...

You mean storm combo lulz. This can answer hate bears, chalice, and counterbalance alike.

Abrupt Decay
BG
instant
This can't be countered by spell or abilities
Destroy target nonland permanent with CMC <= 3


Finally a real answer to counterbalance.

This is the kind of dismissive attitude towards the player base that leads to low turnouts and failed tournaments.

Wow. A new Sneak Attack creature has arrived.

a. Laughs at Karakas
b. 30 power with Trample

Edit: And GSZ...

Workshop is way too warping on the format especially with trinisphere not being banned. Academy scares me similarly as it's sort of an uncounterable high tide that can be tutored for with crop...

I still do not understand how people can argue for non-interactivity as a criterion for banning candidacy. Does anybody really enjoy getting counter top locked out of a game or getting...

Context is everything:

Getting word on twitter that someone named Chris Bergeson has won legacy champs with sneak attack. No official coverage to speak of though...

1.) Oracle text: At the beginning of each player's upkeep, destroy target nonartifact creature that player controls of his or her choice. It can't be regenerated.

I don't think you can choose...

While some decks are just a dog to reanimator, burn/elves etc, most decks stand a fair chance for the match. Fast combo decks are usually favored game one, and appear relatively simple i.e. resolve...

I applaud your good sportsmanship. First, good job dodging Hive Mind/High Tide, any decent combo deck etc. Second, how were the factories and Thalia. I would think you would want Trinisphere...

Cavern of souls into rector seems worth considering. Second, dedicated combo decks fail to have a backup plan and are sometimes "clunkier" for it.
