    Re: Esper Mentor

    Thanks for sharing this!

    I have not thought of trying Mom or splashing for K Command, but both are worth exploring and I will try them.

    I haven't been active in this thread in a long time. I still haven't even updated the OP since Dig and Probe were banned, but I have playing this deck again lately as well. It seems pretty solid...

    Re: [BBD] Battlebond

    This seems accurate. It's good, but not busted in any deck that currently exists. It seems like presently, it would fit best into some kind of control shell, like stoneblade, or pile. But I don't...

    Re: [DTB] UWx Miracle Control

    Sure! Game 1 I mulled to 5 and then forgot to scry, but I had 2 BS, swords, terminus, land and kept finding good interactive spells and lands. Jace and mentor wrapped things up. My opponent had a...

    I took 3rd at a 115ish person 4k at Channel Fireball today!


    I have played like 3 paper events in the last 6 months so I have not been too active on this thread lately, but I thought I would...

    I went 3-4 beating ANT, ANT, punishing Maverick. Losing to Burn, Grixis delver, Eldrazi aggro and scooping to a superior position to Pox depths while in extra turns. The Delver and aggro loses felt...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    I played at Channel Fireball 4k but did not do well. I made some vital mistakes, but also made some last minute SB changes which were probably mistakes. I am also not as comfortable playing the...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    I have only recently gone to the dark side and started using Deathrite. After more amounts of testing, I don't think decay is worth playing as it makes the mana too greedy. And chalice is annoying...

    I agree, they have a lot of reactive mid-late games that don't like up against mentor, and get taken by therapy anyways.

    I am definitely bias as well, in that I have just gotten blown out too...

    I have come around on playing deathrite. If you can't beat them, join them. I previously did not like have deathrite when the deck played a more control role, but against the 50% of the meta that is...

    I am going to try this. I tried search in Miracles already where it was a very powerful card, although too slow for some matchups. I will post in a bit about how it goes.

    Tasigur is probably worth revisiting. I could see playing 2 tasigur and 0-1 angler. Tasigur getting chumped by opposing anglers is a big deal though. But luckily swords makes us well equipped to deal...

    These are the issues I have been having with the deck as well. Therapy, strix, snapcaster, jace, 1-2 Painful truths/nights whisper and mentor are far more card advantage than every deck in the format...

    @ozimek: This deck dies pretty hard to chalice so I really like having a MD answer to it. I personally play 2 EE, no Deathrite which works great against chalice. If playing deathrite, I would...

  20. Re: Want to buy back into Legacy: suggest a deck?

    Agreed on show and tell. The deck is 12+ cantrips, reactive counterspells that fight through all forms of hate regardless small meta changes, and then 8ish redundant A+B combo pieces that win the...

    Against the red delver decks, they generally are more aggressive and blood moon is just win more. If you are resolving 3 mana sorceries that don't impact the board then you are either dead on board...

    Angelo's list is the closest thing to something I could actually stomach playing at a bigger event after the ban.



    Don't bring in Blood moon against red delver decks. It comes down too late in...
