We are huge underdogs g1.
My g1 plan is really just a fast Entreat. IMO, it's actually harder to race with Mentor as it turns on their punishing fire. so i prefer Entreat in this MU as well. ...

1) With the Pt 1 adjustment, my MD is actually identical to yours, aside from adjusting the manabase to support the red blasts. i really liked the idea of the clique MB, seeing how soft we are to...

Love the list. Looks very streamlined. Especially the 2x Gideon. A few questions.

1) do you miss having clique in your 75?
2) do you feel a need for the 4th artifact removal? EE or another...

the section on Portent could be expanded as well, that it can target opponents, and the use case for that.

@Min: i realized that there are many comments on how to improve the primer, and they can...

Tilting your opponent with a ridiculous transformation sideboard

Thinking about it again, doesn't actually sound like the worst idea i had.
Probably will try it for fun one of these days.

Had the same experience with Mentor, and have moved them back to the SB. i tend to get significantly better results with Entreat as my wincon.
However, with Mentor back to the board, i'm running 3...

May your luck run true during the GP!

as my playgroup would always say, "Better Lucky than Good"

have any of you hit a blind predict before? i personally have never succeeded.

I prefer old borders whenever possible too!

i think i prefer Surgical over RIP against Lands as well.

I think Unexpectedly Absent does a decent enough Vensor impression, but at the same time more synergistic with the rest of the deck.

The Vensor - Lili trick is definitely one of the most...

5-0 on my first league attempt with this deck! Beginners luck!

Deck played out very smoothly.

1) Jund: 2-1
2) Painter Stone: 2-0
3) BUG Delver: 2-1
4) TES: 2-0
5) Aggroloam: 2-1

Pretty much the only way i managed to beat them as well. with Mentor, Snaps and Surgical. Not sure if your latest iterations still run B2B, but im considering dropping it completely from the board.
...

What article?

Had a couple of games against lands last night, and found it to be a very tough matchup.

B2B isnt nearly as good against lands as Blood Moon, and i found myself wishing that it was surgical...

Hey! Nice playing with you on MTGO the other day. My thought is that for Storm, Canonist is just better.

Even with a CB floating 1 or 2 on top, Storm can potentially still go off, but they have...

Tested a few matches using Whiteface's list as a starting point, with a few adjustments.

That is so untrue.

Most decks in legacy need to take initiative to win. Take Delver for example. If you bolted his delver on turn 1, and landed a Standstill on turn 2. Do you really think we need...

Agree with what has been said.
UWR feels superior to UW.

Here's what i'm currently testing.

4 Snapcaster Mage
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Force of Will

Agree with Stoneforge Mystic not being a strong enough proactive play. Against the big decks nowadays - Delver, Elves, Storm, Sneak Show, it feels lacking.
Standstill is actually alot better than i...

i quite like the LftL, Cycling land, scroll rack engine. Enables EOT entreat and terminus as well.

Because sets are planned a couple of years in advance, and Top was placed in EMA.

They probably wanted to do it much earlier, but couldn't ban Top until EMA was released for sometime.
