    Re: [Deck] Grixis Tempo

    In order to avoid asking a million questions about matchup theory, does anyone have any go-to resources for reading up on general delver strategy / theory and more specific Grixis Delver matchup...

    Having both Stifle and Therapy in your board seems kind of crowded. I think other's boards make sense where you kinda chose either a proactive or reactive approach MD, and you put some form of the...

    Re: [Deck] Grixis Tempo

    I did some spreadsheet / mu analysis today and got to here so far on a sideboard:

    1 True-Name Nemesis
    1 Cabal Therapy
    1 Pithing Needle
    1 Fatal Push
    2 Harsh Mentor
    1 Ancient Grudge
    1 Forked...

    Re: [Deck] Grixis Tempo

    I am also an ex-miracles player seeking a new home, and right now Grixis Delver seems like it is a fantastic place to be.

    I'm interested in seeing what cards appear and disappear from sideboards...

    So was Mana crypt, lol.

    I am edging on the side of them not doing anything, though.

    I'll give it a shot.

    Miracles decks are traditionally made up of two components. There are white cards and blue cards.

    The blue cards are fantastic at drawing you...

    This is getting quite heated.

    The second payment is timeable. If SFM is removed, the 2nd...

    Storm, for example, is a perfectly fine place to bring the package in. It is a significant clock, and every time you hit your opponent, you increase the required storm count by 2, which may or may...

    Re: [DTB] Miracle Control

    Yeah. I like them in the board, and the number will be highly dependant on the other cards, mainly whether or not I'll run Vendilion Clique.

    As for Karakas... It's great vs. Show and Tell but...

    Yeah sure. This isn't completely thought out, but these are the first comments that come to mind.

    There are a couple of things to consider here:

    Re: [DTB] Miracle Control

    IMHO I think Mentor MD has become unplayable in a control shell. It could have a home in UWR Delver, maybe over stoneforge mystic, but that's a very different deck, and not for discussion here.

    I've been playing Surgical Extraction as a 2-of and have had no problems. You should be able to neuter most GY decks with a mixture of SE and Snapcaster and smart play, and it doesn't destroy your...

    Re: [DTB] Miracle Control

    Why are we still talking about this? They're bad matchups. Skewing your board to fight these and losing percentage in winnable matchups is just bad.

    Yeah. I'm going to go with the Grixis List Ish posted. The Abyss is good, but as I don't own one and do need to still purchase Dacks and Mox Diamonds, I think it makes sense to stick with Deluge...

    Re: [DTB] Miracle Control

    IMHO, we've entered an era where Rest in Peace is more of a hinderance than a boon. I'd consider replacing this with a second surgical extraction. It interacts very well with a deck like Jund as...

    My main problem with Tezz the seeker lies in the lack of interesting artifacts to fetch up. He really wants to be a walker that gets you ahead in the game. The best way to do this is to grab helm...

    This is a good point. I used language that was a little too explicit. Staticaster is in there to harass decks with tiny creatures like elves, death and taxes, and infect, and has some good splash...

    Some brief notes:

    Grixis Control and Grixis Delver are two different beings, trying to do different things, regardless of the fact that there is a huge amount of overlap in their card selection.

    After some thought and goldfishing, I'm thinking i agree and the 2 seekers are definitely overkill.

    Hey,

    So I should have probably mentioned that I did swap the Misdirection for the 4th force. The helm in the board I think was a gimmick to your opponent boarding in Rest in Peace vs. you, but...
