Not sure if this is Ralf or not, but someone made a GP Top 8 with a creature configuration like that one.

Crazy people. Nothing better than snaring a pyromancer while your grixis opponent has 1-2 open mana. They always reread spell snare, pause for a moment, and give you the "uh..ok" while they...

BI is pretty spicy, Ralf.

How do you beat Sword to Plowshare decks with that creature configuration?

Thought this card was interesting: https://media.wizards.com/2018/dom/en_47k2GBWc6i.png

Destroy chalice -> wasteland you

Destroy aether vial -> play a delver / goose

The problem I found with Winter Orb vs sneak and Show is that normally the game is won or lost after the big fight. Typically all resources are expended and both players are basically hellbent...

Sorry, I’m probably missing something obvious here, but the list linked to at MTGGoldfish doesn’t align with the changes you mention. What list are your referring to?


I played this at Madrid.

Gotcha...yea fair enough. Both are bad vs plow agreed. But goyf doesn't nuke your GY and shrink your geese at least :)

I bring in winter orb against miracles, lands, stoneblade decks, stompy...

Wow, asian / eurpoean meta must really be a lot different from the american meta for this many RUG players to have problems with push...

But btw, hooting mandrills doesn't fill the role of "big...

Its similar to the mulligan point.

If you were truly playing 56 cards deck construction would change. But it doesn't matter how "free" a cantrip is, when you physically need 60 cards.

Last thing I'll say on the matter, then we can move on- what I mean is that you (for example) could not start cutting lands if you slot 4 probes in the deck - because if 18 lands is an optimal...

Kiwi, are you supportive of Gitaxian Probe or no? I was having a hard time determining your stance on the matter from your posts.

My thoughts on probe are that the slots in our deck are too...

Whats your boarding plan for DnT?

Spell pierce is ok on the play, but bad on the draw I think. This is a match up I would like to practice more. I think its not that bad overall, but its...

I would not bring in surgical extraction against eldrazi - this seems really wrong to me. There are not a lot of high upside cards to hit from them, and they don't use their graveyard at all
...

Predict has always felt a bit clunky to me with a curve as low as ours. Granted, I am very interested in it. And with counterbalance making a resurgence, it could be poised to have an impact...

Heh, it happens. Just wasn't running very hot, and had many "FoW check" match ups.

I think I misplayed game 2 against storm (lost game 1), involving a weird situation where he cracked a fetch...

Scrubbed out @ Worcester today

Started off 2-0, beating Big Red and Grixis Delver

Dropped 3 in a row to Big Red, ANT, and BR Reanimator :shrug:

Still happy with the deck!

I would play the breeding pool, but understand you will lose some games due to the interaction between shocklands and daze.

Get the trop ASAP.

I board like

CP:
+2 REB

-1 Force / Daze
-1 Preordain ( :wink: )

Eldrazi:
-4 Nimble Mongoose

I agree with Kombatkiwi on his whole post, except I don't hesitate to board out preordain if I have a high impact sideboard card.

In regards to Gilded, I find the best idea is to prevent your...

Hello!

Reasons for Chain Lightning is it kills Leo (none of the other options for that spot kill 3 toughness creatures and 2 dismember is too much life to give up I feel). The fact that it is a...

Unfortunately, I have not been playing very much lately. I am going to take my same list

https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=17345&d=307297&f=LE

with a grafdigger's cage instead of the sylvan library...

Sometimes your reanimator opponent has it all...turn 1 griselbrand with daze / force back up *shrug*. Try not to let these games impact you too much. Just try to focus on playing the best magic...

I would not think a 3 mana unsummon is something I would actively board in against lands. I could understand running the Dead // Gone in the main deck as you can either kill a deathrite or unsummon...

If this is your SB
Sideboard (15)
3x REB
1x spell snare
1x flusterstorm
2x graffdiggers cage
1x surgical extraction
1x ground seal
2x ancient grudge
1x slyvan library

Let me clarify. I believe your original comment was in regards to Goyf vs Monkey.

Both get exiled by swords to plowshares. But, our best card vs swords to plowshares is Nimble Mongoose. If you...
