If you aren't playing Ad Nauseum, isn't Thoughtseize better than Duress? Being able to hit Thalia is pretty important.

If the guy playing Land Tax chooses to not play a land to try to get the Tax trigger, and the Delver opponent Stifles the trigger, that's a backbreaking play. Does the dude with Tax play a land and...
Unless they just Stifle Land Tax.
Wild Nacatl should be coupled with Green Sun's Zenith, at least Tier 2.
When discussing whether New Horizons with Stoneforge Mystic is actually New Horizons, it is important to consider what fundamentally makes New Horizons a unique deck. Dave Price described New...
Stifle doesn't necessarily seem bad in this iteration of New Horizons, it has long been a staple of the archetype, after all, but my biggest problem is that there isn't enough slots in the deck for...
@sigfig: Whenever I boarded in Maze of Ith, which was often enough to consider maindecking it, i boarded out a spell not a land. I would play a 24th land if I were to maindeck it.
Stifle has lost...
Daze is, admittedly, a hit-or-miss card. It can be pretty bad on the draw and is almost always sided out when you are on the draw game 2 or 3. On the play, it can be a complete blow out, but it is...
I think this deck really wants Stoneforge Mystic into Batterskull as a reliable method to beat Merfolk. To execute that plan, you want 4 Mystics because a) simply, the more you have the greater the...
I agree that Loam would be good in the board, but the problem is finding a slot for it. Cutting Llawan in general for maybe a second Path to Exile and a Loam may be correct. Merfolk may be a fine...
I finished 3rd at the SCG Open in Richmond this weekend. Here is my list:
4x Stoneforge Mystic
4x Tarmogoyf
4x Knight of the Reliquary
4x Brainstorm
4x Mental Misstep
4x Force of Will
4x...
I guess I made a mistake posting my list in this thread. I was under the impression that Maverick was a GWx Midrange deck that supports a Stoneforge package, not a GWU Midrange Deck. I decided not...
I piloted a Big Zoo list at the Baltimore 5k to a tenth place finish going 7-2. I will write a brief tournament report, if you wish to see a blow by blow play of the deck, I was in a feature match...
Thanks everyone!
Regarding 3x Sylvan Libraries, I've never had a problem with dead draw because if you have one in play you're either winning or you can keep extra Sylvans in the top 3 until you...
I don't post here very often but I have tournament report for SCG DC. I piloted Zenith Zoo to 7th place, with a 7 - 0 -2 swiss record.

4 Grim Lavamancer
4 Wild Nacatl

Why Platinum Emperion over Platinum Angel? I assume because of burn?
Huh? Fauna Shaman is and will be the nuts in Standard. Sure he can't combo off in the manner that SotF can in Legacy but where he is most valuable is turning bad mana dudes into Vengevines and...
I think that throughout the course of the day, disynergy b/t Jitte and Kira only mattered once. Many times I've either already had it equipped before dropping Kira or, I was content with spending 4...
Hey guys,
Yesterday I placed 13th at the SCG 5k in Philadelphia with a record of 7-2. Here's my list followed by a short tourney report.
Artifacts
4 Aether Vial
Creatures
4 Coralhelm...
He's saying that against decks like zoo, you can bounce a turn 1 Nacatl, or if they're on the play, a Pridemage. But I agree, seems too narrow.
I actually really like that idea but it seems like it may be too narrow. ET can hit Prisons, Humilty, Moat, etc
And Commander can even fly over Moat!
Kicks, I like your list too and I plan on testing it thoroughly. Commander looks promising.
Coralhelm seems solid IMO. By himself he's a threat, with evasion. Someone mentioned that having flying is stupid when you have islandwalk; well, not all decks have islands my man. Also, you can't...
But isn't Emrakul just the ultimate Oath target? He can only die by sac/wrath effects and then he gets shuffled back in to get Oath'd again; don't you just always want him in play over other fatties?
I like the idea of Goon. Also, isn't there a combo with Kiki-Jiki?
