Obligatory plug for energy field. The card is amazing in a deck running nothing but permanents. Especially if you are already running a bunch of rest in peace and sterling groves to turn it into a...
@Courser of kruphix's most underrated ability is giving you insight as to when you should dredge, and when you have that abrupt decay you really need sitting ontop
Having never played with your list, here would be my immediate impression on paper:
Urborg is most likely unnecessary. You need the extra dual land more than a ton of black mana randomly. I...
Not to make assumptions, but whoever made that first list clearly enjoys meth.
It also means you can't have wasteland, which makes your trinisphere/lodestones/chalices much worse.
I would much prefer to have coercive portal, because the extra card it gives you will either be the mana you needed (land/metalworker/monolith) or something you can play with the 4+ mana you already...
@yoshipwnz
Only one thing really bothers me about your list. Why is there only 1 dream stalker? By running 2 you can avoid 1 piece of spot removal breaking up the combo. Do you simply believe in...
I'm sure it has been discussed to death but the problem with notion thief is that you have to sit there holding 4 mana open, hoping your opponent will play a brainstorm. In a deck that is looking to...
Obligatory plug for birthing pod. You're already dancing with abusing etb triggers, abusing tokens, a desire to tutor a creature, and a need for sac outlets.
Just imagine the joy of: tap...
Perhaps randomly posting your list that you may or may not have come up with in the shower and never actually played with isn't the best method of conversation...
And to completely undermine that,...
I've been fiddling with this deck lately (with leyline/helm in the sb), and had some random sideboarding questions for those more experienced than I:
Against most delver & deathblade, obviously...
Don't Thrun and Sigarda fill the same roll? I imagine you would be better off with a singleton that comes from a different angle. Specifically Gaddock Teeg or Titania. Thoughts?
You, sir, have my attention.
If forked bolt had a big brother that cost 4 mana and divvied up 3 damage instead, that would be a terrible card. Serrated arrows does that, except it takes 3 turns to do it. Even if forked bolt...
Damn I wish Ugin wasn't 8 mana. Or was an artifact. I also wish they would stop making all the good colorless cards be non-artifacts...
On the bright side, Ugin clearly beats out karn/all is...
With no enchantress in play, abundant growth + words of wind reads: 1G: each opponent returns a permanent to their hand. While this may sound good, unless you can activate it 3+ times a turn, you...
I think you're the first person to ever say that.
Honestly, you are running a very standard post list. Most people I have seen run 11-posts, 3 cities, 3 caverns, but the difference of 1 card...
I think the main issue with courser is that people think of it as a gsz target, where it really isn't. Eidolon is just a better grab with gsz every single time, as it simply provides more card...
If you were to run a 1-of card to abuse ETB abilities, that card should be recurring nightmare imo. If either one is worth it really depends on how many creatures/ETB abilities you are running.
One of the matchups that I want pyroclasm for is death and taxes. One of the best cards death and taxes has against us is phyrexian revoker. So I would never run whipflare over pyroclasm for this...
Here we go then, 5 rounds of swiss and then top 8. Incoming wall of text
UR burn w/ swiftspear
g1: On the draw, I drop a turn 1 chalice at 1 even though he has a goblin guide. He just drops...
I got 3rd this past weekend at a local tournament with this list. I can write a report if anyone cares:
4 Goblin welder
4 Metalworker
4 Kuldotha forgemaster
3 Lodestone golem
1 Blighsteel...
@Undomian
It sounds to me like you would cut jace in favor of more dack fayden. Have you considered/tried goblin welders at all (specifically out of the sb)? It seems like you could benefit from...
He looked to be playing around daze, as a lot of stoneblade decks run it. Although he did seem rather uneasy. Props to him anyhow, he clearly knows what he is doing with the deck. I imagine the...
How was dryad arbor for you? Most people tend to think wild growth/sprawl/guile are better turn 1 options. Semi-related, it looks like you cut some wild growths for enlightened tutors, did you miss...
Pox is one of the worst matchups for this deck. Because the curve is so high, and we play a small number of actual creatures, pox is the perfect card against this deck. If they run liliana,...
