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

    Great stuff @ComeOnAndSlam! Glad you enjoyed the list and my writing on it. I think a lot of the technology found pre-DRS ban will be excellent tools to use adapting to the format moving forward,...
  2. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Please give us a sideboard too! Looks good so far, though I am dubious about the main deck Abrade (non-one cmc removal that doesn't go to the face I am wary of). Seems like you have way too much...
  3. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    It think it's quite close. Honestly, I feel like it depends on the number of early threats they have. A DRS-dense hand means you need to have removal after removal or else be buried in their mana...
  4. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I will generally full shroud them, boarding out Delvers, making their Bolts useless. You need to kill everything/counter everything on site (go hard control), however, and either kill them with a...
  5. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Just to pitch in my two cents on the Probe argument, I too have never really liked it, especially as a four-of, where it is obvious in its lacklustreness as a late-game draw. To me this is due to the...
  6. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    D&T is not a good matchup, and I think you haven't experienced us having a "normal" draw and them having an above-average draw. They t1 Vial, we play a Delver, then they Plow, Vial in a Mom and...
  7. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I agree that Goose is mediocre; but so is Stifle - there is barely any value to get from it. Get into the habit of boarding it out completely against non-fetch decks, because it's way too high...
  8. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Yes, typo! Only one Loam.

    Counterspell is a skeleton key card. It is useful in combo matchups as a somewhat clunky but servicable piece of countermagic, but also comes in against grindy matchups...

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

    I think the sorcery speed matters a lot when you are wanting to hold up Snare/Pierce/Blast/Bolt to use at EoT potentially. I think more relevant is the additional reach that Chain Lightning gives,...
  11. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Long time no talk y'all. I am just back from Japan, Top 8ing a small event with this list: http://www.hareruyamtg.com/en/k/kD40032S/
    Nimble Obstructionists are actually Mongoose, of course. Some...

    Hello all! I wrote a thing that may be relevant ;D
  13. [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I'll probably look to responding more comprehensively at some stage, but against Turbo Depths I always board in artifact destruction. You can tag a Map and Chalice/Thorn also are brought against us....
  14. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Glad the deck felt as smooth as butter as it has been for me, and glad my list served you well :) I wouldn't recommend Rough // Tumble to deal with the D&T problem. If anything an extra spot removal...
  15. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I know some people love Goose vs. D&T, but I've found it lacklustre. Since your mana is crippled it's hard to hit Thresh effectively some of the time, and they don't really utilise removal to beat us...
  16. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Got ninth in a sixty-six person tournament in Melbourne Australia, with more traditional Canadian (RUG Delver) wrote a report:

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

    Some good discussion here.

    @Gloubi, this is really much more in line with what Canadian Threshold wants to be doing. If anything, Delver decks really shouldn't be defined by their colours and more...
