I'm running 2 Orb main, and running the following side:

1 Winter Orb
1 Cursed Totem
1 Null Rod
1 Pithing Needle
2 Rough//Tumble
2 Flusterstorm
3 REB
2 TNN

Curfew is a possible answer to a lone Angler ;)

I'd cut the Chain Lightning and add a Fire/Ice. I've loved that card since forever, and tapping down Angler or nuking two small guys isn't bad.

The headers are wrong, the numbers inside are correct. My bad ;)

I'd be okay cutting Grip for Grudge, and Loam for a Sulfur Elemental, since I'm already playing two Orbs.

I'll be trying the following:

18 Lands:
8 Fetch-lands (4 Strand, 4 Delta -- to provide the least information)
3 Tropical Island
3 Volcanic Island
4 Wasteland

11 Creatures:
4 Delver of...

I liked Hoots when I played him. I'm wondering if you keep Mongoose, but trim Goyf down like Jonathan did (congrats man! Too bad I couldn't come back this time and chateau it up like last time ;)
...

I'd prefer to see a Terminus ban. Just my two cents.

When you want to show off the pimps.

Heard it is also good against Eldrazi when you're nutting their manabase with Wastelands.

I loved running Mandrills back about a year ago, just haven't touched this deck since. But, if I get a chance to play my Alpha Winter Orbs, I'm fucking interested.

Can you post the 4C list when...

I have been harping on RUG Fires for over a year. It definitely has potential but this isntba RUG Midrange thread. Let us reboot the NLT thread.

I'm going to be trying Rough/Tumbles in the main to see how they work out instead of Cruise. So far, definitely some blow outs. Mandrills is still performing well.

You know how happy this makes me? If I were a card, I'd be a Gaddock Teeg wandering through a Sylvan Library.

-Matt

C'mon now, don't give me that. A huge mistake? It depends. Mandrills may hit removal, but we're also a deck that has a powerful counterspell suite. Nimble Mongoose, although it has shroud, doesn't...

Just updating the thread with my current list:

3 Tarmogoyf
4 Delver of Secrets
3 Hooting Mandrills

4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Force of Will

Play Grip against OmniTell, as well. I run 2 in the board since I used to run a 1/1 Grudge/Grip split. OmniTell can sometimes just get you if you don't have the Grip.

Went 3-1 last night with my RUG Mandrills list again, beating Maverick, Mono Red Sneak Attack, and ANT and narrowly losing to Infect since I never drew a red source to remove his guy (fought the...

Don't forget you get to announce your attack phase as, "Murder you with a 12/12?"

-Matt

I'm playing it and I liked it so far, with my limited testing.

-Matt

If you really want to go deep, just run Vision Charm, Treasure Cruise, Tombstalker, and Phyrexian Dreadnought ;)

-Matt

You know what they say, I'm just a steel town girl on a Saturday night..

Cutting Stifle seems pretty terrible, in my opinion, and here's why:

1) We're on the mana denial plan with Daze, Pierce, and Wasteland. Stifle is just icing on the cake.

2) Miracle cards like...

Sure but Goose is still subpar much of the time. Many times, even though he dodges removal, he cannot swing through many of the creatures in the format that really matter. Mandrills can shrink goyfs...

Fair enough. I want to put Cruise in, but you realistically can't have both Mandrills and Cruise in the same deck, unless you're powering it with Probes and Thoughtscours. Mongoose hasn't been good...

I went 4-0 tonight at my local, playing RUG Mandrills. Even though it's 1am, I'm fuelled by coffee and the Flashdance Soundtrack to write a tournament report.

The list:

4 Hooting Mandrills
4...
