I'm still impressed by my setup (3 Wrenn /3 pierce /4 Hexdrinker / 50 classic). But I have the same feeling as Qweerios. The W6 count in the deck will decrease in a midterm perspective:
The...

That was a rough idea for sideboarding plan.

You cannot really compare W6 to TNN.

TNN CMC is higher than W6. Sure it's on color (for FOW) but still 1 mana is huge (especially in RUG) and we are...

Did you jam a few games with 2+ W6 in your 60 ?

3 seems to be the actual trend.

Don't see W6 as only a recurring "wasteland" tool but rather as a not so bad CA machine:

1) It stabilizes your...

I was suggesting that setup a month ago in this very thread.

Kitchen testing since then but I'm happy with it.

It requires a bit of practise tbh as Hexdrinker is not a Mongoose: every turn...

This is a possibility as it may better shine in a BUG shell than a RUG one but the initial idea was to get some synergy with Wren.

Wren does allow us to operate on more than 2/3 lands as most of...

You do.
It requires to spend only 1 mana/turn and leave 1 mana opened in the beginning but when you get Wren recurring fetchlands it is very nice.

In the mid and endgame if your opponent is...

You should try to play the following creature lists:

4 Hexdrinker
4 Delver
4 Tarmo

With 2 or 3 Wren in your 60.

Yeah.
And sometimes you would draw it T4, 5 or 6...

Test will prevail but my feeling is "not good enough".

Yep.
Dead//gone is real. 1 MD 1 side or just 1 side to keep the tarfire.

Unsubstantiate is another card but doesn't kill a creature.
It gets pass through a cavern of soul and could be a massive...

@ rlesko: It was not me. But I was there and also playing RUG (4 mongoose though at the time).

This was back to 2016 and I mentioned it earlier here including the creature configuration.

At the...

UB shadows is a nice deck but it also has its drawbacks.
Having a shadow 5/5 on the board means that you are at 8 life.

Burn (just to mention one deck) is usually happier to face a UB than a RUG....

STP is at a low level so is CB.
You are playing 11 creatures vs 4 stp 4 terminus 3 snapcaster 2 CB.
You have access to 4 stifle that will mainly target terminus triggers and snap triggers.

I do like the following setup:

4 delver
4 tarmo
2 mandrils
1 clique

2 snare / 1 pierce split
1 become immense as a dreadful weapon
1 dismember / 1 fire-ice / 1 forked bolt

Well could you please elaborate a bit more ?

Because 2 or 3 slots is not an easy thing to include, especially in RUG where the list is already pretty tight.

Cheers,

When I say forest I mean tropical or bayou...

There should be a forest in most cases (if they want to use the lifegain ability of DRS or to cast leovold).
But anyway, if you are going to test a few sideboard plans, try different approaches and...

I have pondered whether or not I should bring Winter Orb.
Without free counters, I don't side it in as you can see.

But these sideboard plans have to be thoroughly tested. I can see at least...

Eldrazi

- 4 stifle
- 1 Forked

+1 Ancient Grudge
+1 Snare
+1 Winter orb
+1 Pierce
+1 Elemental

I did try both setups.
I prefer Goyf + Mandrills rather than Goose + Mandrills.

Playing Goose + Mandrills in the same deck put too much pressure on your graveyard which is different with a Goyf + Mandrill setup.

I think Mandrills are replacing Goose, not Goyf.

My two cents.

Hello,

Since a few months, I play the following:

4 Delver
4 Tarmo
2 Mandrills
1 Vendilion Clique

1 Spell Pierce

Usually you race.
Post side submerge (x3 when Maverick was a thing) is usually enough.

I'd bet this involve drawing into Tabernacle. Leaving your opponent with 1 mana and a choice to be made at his next upkeep to deal with your mandrill.

Well I guess it is, somehow, in the landscape for a while.
I'm playing a tweaked version ever since.

Depends on your list:

- If you play Mongoose:

Your tempo tools are usually enough. Countering a few spells is key here. Don't be afraid to counter some Life from the Loam and tutors.
