It might belong there, but I was trying to emphasize Toxic as a Plague Wind.
Did a set review with my thoughts and some lists:

What about Saprazzan Skerry and/or Coalition Relic?
The monolith list is kinda sweet.
I like -1 furnace +1 seat.
I also like -1 crypt, -1 transmute for +1 city of traitors and +1 REB. This deck even has a backup win con in the form of...
I've been very happy with Crystal Ball, scrying away as many as ten cards in a game. The effect is powerful, and useful against Vendilion Clique and Jace. It doesn't help if you're short on mana, but...
I played the Scape version in an Open. Didn't like it at all.
Would rather just Grave Titan people.
Ugh, that BUG Pod list I was working on is way worse than I thought. Tested it a lot over the last week and was super disappointed in everything from the draws to the manabase.
3/10 would not...
Quick report:
vs Punishing Jund: Game one I kept a Deathrite, double therapy two fetch hand on the draw. The deathrite gets punishing fired and my first two draws are more therapys. He eventually...
List I'm registering tomorrow:
// Lands
1 [ME2] Underground Sea
2 [U] Tropical Island
4 [6E] Forest
1 [5E] Island
2 [M14] Swamp
2 [R] Bayou
4 [ZEN] Misty...
Interesting, thanks for the list Tao. While I don't agree with a lot of those numbers, you've given me a lot to think about. Perhaps I'll take Arianrod's advice and try a miser's GSZ.
My main...
That's a really good interaction that I've been missing because I usually don't have Stronghold in my list. I'll try it out this weekend and see if I like Tusk better.
Thanks for the criticisms, guys. I'm probably playing this in Cinci so this is informing my last-minute tuning.
Schulzchop: You've given me the gumption to run Slime in the main, though I still...
I mean, I faced seven copies of Rest in Peace in two rounds with my Punishing Fires/Loam/Tarmogoyf deck. Sometimes you just have a bad tournament and there's nothing you can do. Shrug.
To answer...
I ran BEB because I'm like 50% to face burn at any given open, and while it's a good matchup already having answers to stuff like Pyrostatic Pillar or even just killing a goblin guide makes the...
After a week of testing, this is what I'm on for Sunday:
// Lands
2 [ZEN] Marsh Flats
1 [SHM] Swamp (1)
1 [AVR] Island (1)
4 [ON] Polluted Delta
4 [R] Underground Sea

Just had a sweet win vs Doomsday.
G3 on the play I keep Thoughtseize, Children, Entomb, Reanimate, Grizzle, and a few lands.
I turn one Thoughtseize him to see a land full of cantrips,...
My opponent would need to have a ton of discard before I felt White Leyline was necessary (Pox?) and maybe not even then. Discard is pretty bad against this deck since half the combo you can put into...
I kinda like the idea of a SB of hosers.
// Sideboard
SB: 1 [PD3] Cabal Therapy
SB: 1 [ON] Chain of Vapor
SB: 2 [RTR] Pithing Needle
SB: 3 [ARE] Chill/Warmth/White Leyline? Chill has...
The list that just top eighted the vegas open is very good. Haven't tried Gitaxian Probe, but it might be a nice addition.
Regarding the Dryad Arbor conversation, the card does add another turn...
These are some sweet ideas. I still prefer Troll to Putrid Imp, as Imps become redundant real quick but Troll can turn a pile of 0 mana dorks into damage, which is relevant when comboing off with...
Sounds fun! I like the idea of the Glimpse draw engine.
// Lands
4 [ZEN] Verdant Catacombs
4 [U] Bayou
2 [JGC] Gaea's Cradle
// Creatures
3 [RTR] Lotleth Troll
4 [RTR]...
Is High Market better than Phyrexian Tower? I can't imagine the occasional point of life being better than the occasional ramp. The deck has a few sinks, especially top, which wants to be activated...
The sideboard has a few black spells that are much better turn one (Duress and Dread of Night). I would hate to lose because I time walked myself to avoid taking the occasional point of damage.
...
I don't fully disagree with you, as I definitely play better when I'm having fun, but I do think Queerios's explanation is more valuable.
When a person does better with a preferred card, it's not...
