    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    For those testing Sorcerous Spyglass, how many have you been running? I originally started at 2 but wanted more. I currently like running 3 copies since they can be pretty redundant in certain...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    Graveyard decks take a lot of damage from Chalice / Humility already. My list in particular has 5 Oblivion Ring effects so removal is not a problem.

    EDIT: there is room for flexibility in my...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    Sorcerous Spyglass is hot new tech for Stax. Not only does it shut down problematic cards like Deathrite Shaman / JTMS / AEther Vial / etc, but it also shuts down fetchlands on the play. Having a...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    I'm back from the dead. I used to play Geddon / Dutch Stax extensively online on Magic-League via MWS and had some success with it there. Been playing the deck for about 9 years on and off, decided...
