The problem with all those Brainstorm/DRS decks is: There isn't really any way to attack them. I can make small adjustments to my deck to beat any single combo deck (not all at once obviously) if i...

MTGO is certainly much harder than any local playgroup. It's much harder than xmage at least, and while i don't play any paper magic at all, from what i have heard the paper metagame outside of big...
At some point i will post more matchup guides, but it just takes a lot of time to write everything down.
What to get with 4 mana depends on the matchup and situation.
Playing against a combo...
Just for Delver, this is my current approach:
Sideboarding: -1 Emrakul, -1 Ulamog, -1 Gaddock Teeg, -1 Eye of Ugin. Maybe -2 Crop Rotation if i have more sideboard cards (i'm still not sure if i...
Maybe TKS works better in your list - i can't really add more colorless mana to the deck, and my white cards are too important to drop the color. You watched that game 1 against jarvisyu - even...
Exactly that is giving me the most trouble, i get hymned on t2 way too often, especially in postboard games, and most of the time they have another Hymn or a snapcaster as a follow up. With no cards...
Nice to see another 12-post deck go 5-0!
My deck is probably the strongest version against Delver, but it has some other drawbacks - mostly i'm not as strong against the other fair blue decks...
At some point i want to go over the different matchups and write up how i'm doing and maybe more - but i really need to have a bigger samplesize for that, it just doesn't make any sense to predict...
Last night i played a match that was streamed by jarvisyu from the other side: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/243240739 (match starts around 2:49).
I watched the video (and not the stream like at...
I did that a while ago, the deck looked very different then. It worked for some matchups, but overall the deck got a lot worse, no matter how i build the tutor package.
And with the current deck,...
If you stack it wrong (like i did obviously :rolleyes: ), you gain the life from the land coming into play before Bog clears their graveyard. And so they get the PFire back.
Just got another 5-0 today (and a 4-1 in the League before that).
Maindeck is mostly the same as the last 5-0 (ignoring all the changes i made between these Leagues, because most of them were...
I tried a red splash very early on and it was bad, i tried splashing blue for Leovold for a while, but isn't worth it and having a bigger splash for Brainstorm takes too many slots and doesn't fit...
I started posting only in the Nic Fit thread when i got a lot of responses there and no responses here, i just figured Nic Fit players were more interested in the deck. :wink:
Crop Rotation is...
Interesting - i win so many games with DD, i wouldn't ever cut it - but i just watched Ehhh stream my deck and he plays it differently and doesn't use DD that much, so i guess it's mostly about the...
Nice list, some similarities to my lists but still very different in other ways - you are still focussing mostly on the 12-post plan with 3 Primeval Titans, while i haven't played more than 1 in a...
Yes, the Ballistas are pretty much fixed in the deck at this point. If you don't play them on an empty board, they are very often 2-for-1s even in the early game. And later they threaten to take over...
I don't like double posts, but well - i 5-0ed the very next League too, same list.
This time against:
UR-Delver
RUG-Delver
Grixis Control
Aluren
Punishing Maverick
Clean 5-0 with 10-0 in...
So i took a break for a few months (much longer than i planned, i needed a while to find my motivation to play MTG again), but recently i started playing on Magic Online again with my...
About xmage: I think, testing against fair decks on xmage is probably fine. The players might make slightly more mistakes, but overall my results are not that different - i had only a significant...
I didn't really want to make another post yet, but pettdan thinks otherwise since i 5-0ed a League on Magic Online. Ok, maybe that's something worth posting. :wink:
But i don't really want to spend...
A list very similar to the last one i posted, my NicFit/Post-hybrid: http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?24848-Deck-Turbo-Eldrazi&p=1019612&viewfull=1#post1019612
Compared to my...
About Hoogland and his Tron deck:
I agree that a good Cloudpost deck should be better than a Tron deck. However, he has some results with Tron, nothing spectacular, but a positive winrate over ~10...
Ok, that's fair - maybe it is slightly closer to 12post than to NicFit, but i think it's somewhere in the middle. This seems to be my big problem to find more players to play this deck: It's too much...
About Crop Rotation: I usually cut them against fair blue decks without Wastelands, like Miracles or 4-Color Leovold, also against Dragon Stompy. All for the same reason: Risk to get countered (or...
