  2. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    The list is supposed to beat Jace + Snapcaster decks, Tomb + Chalice decks, Show and Tell decks and Reanimator first and foremost. There's some serious splash damage done to Death & Taxes because of...

    If you're looking for my opinion on Tarmogoyf, this recent article has you covered: https://theweeklywars.wordpress.com/2018/04/18/untitled-unedited/. It also covers most other card choices, but note...

  6. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I don't think it has ever been good for Magic Online Leagues because the meta is just too diverse, but it's generally a pretty good deck for swiss tournaments if you know what the winning metagame...
  7. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Countermagic is one way to deal with Vial and Equipment. I vastly prefer having Spell Pierce over having Stifle. Countering Vial is important and countering a Swords to Plowshares can also be very...
  8. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Back when Knight of the Mists was played, it think it was pretty deece because of how much worse Dredge was and a lot of the better hate didn't exist. You could never play it today and use Dredge as...
  9. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Knight of the Mists was a Maverick / Dredge split card. I still have mine, and I tried very hard to justify playing them at Eternal Weekend; didn't get there =(
  10. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Daze.
  11. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    We originally started playing Library back in 2012 because we wanted 10 1/2 threats preboard and 6 1/2 removal spells. Library did that much better than Snapcaster Mage on average, but back then...
  12. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    At first I thought you still wanted to have Mongoose, then my impression was that it was worse than Mandrills, then Miracles came back and I wanted to go Jonadian again... What's probably correct is...
  13. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Okay, first off, all my matches with Jonadian have been uploaded to YouTube now: #thedailywars #23-27 — Complete Jonadian Threshold League Playlist

    As for the scenario I posted above, I think I'm...
  14. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Still trying to figure it out, not sure where to take that list. Ironically, I did record a league with Mongoose/Mandrills today:

    //Creature
    4 Hooting Mandrills
    4 Nimble Mongoose

    //Instant
    4...
  15. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Interesting that you say you like Goyf, first time I've heard that in a while. I'm gonna try a Delver/Mandrills/True-Name split when I find the time, that looks promising in the current metagame as...
  16. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    All these cards are in decks Mongoose is great against, it's more about the stupid combo decks that you want Deathrite and fast beatz against.
  17. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    That is not why I cut them.
  18. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Yo, 'sup guys? I've had an itch to play Canadian again in the new format and I quite enjoyed it. I'm back to recording videos and the second league I played was with an updated, unusual version of...
  19. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    From what I have seen, Nimble Mongoose is definitely not something I want to cut. I'm not sure if I want to cut my Orbs; there's a decent amount of Swords + Snapcaster decks still. There is a lot of...
  20. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    No, you're correct, Loam is really good right now. I have 2 Loam 1 Ring main with an extra 2 Rings in the board at this point. I dislike Ghost Quarter. It takes too long for Quarter to actually do...
  21. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    If you don't have the third True-Name, play a second Loam instead. It's a change I've wanted to try anyway. If you do that, I don't think a second Barbarian Ring over Sudden Demise is unreasonable...
  22. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    This. If you play Deathrite, there's no reason not to play Delver as well. Also refer to what Whitefaces said; not that I would go as far as calling Deathrite super underwhelming, but it's less...
  23. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    The same applies to Daze only that with Stifle, they know when they can cast their spells and it costs you mana. But you're right, it's close between the two. I tend to gravitate towards as many free...
  24. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    To be fair, it was a thought experiment that started with "so what if Push becomes heavily played?" only it turned out that the idea was legit regardless of Push being a thing because of Decay and...
  25. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    It's not about Goyf being bad because everyone will play Push (which, as you pointed out, is not the case). It's that I'd much rather have Mandrils or True-Name than Goyf if my opponent has Push,...
