I've played with The Abyss for a time, but it's really not suited for an agressive metagame with Zoo, Goblins, Merfolk and Quasali Pridemage. I see no more reason to play The Abyss over Humilty, Moat...

Doesn't give mana. And is crap in landstill.

Ok, tnx for your responses. I would make the same call again now, but looking back there is always the "should-I-have-mulliganned?"-insecurity, and it great being able to discuss that. Well, better...

This hand does not roll over to a thoughtseize. Chances of having only one relevant card are pretty high with only six cards. (Card I call relevant: StP, SSnare, Force+Blue (not counting SSnare of...

In the meanwhile, I ran this list through a program that generates starting hands, to see how many 6'ers are better then this 7. Did it 25 times:
6 better
2 maybe
17 worse.

You can try for...

Hey Guys,

Went 4-1-1 yesterday, followed by T8 where I lost in the semifinals. I still doubt my mulligancall there, what do you guys think? Game 3, against a pretty standard Eva Green list...

What? I find it handy to actually cast my Counterspells in turn 2 and 3.



You don't need WWUU in turn 5 or 6 either: You need (W/U)(W/U)(2), what is a huge difference. I'll let all you Fact or...

I'm considering cutting the Wishes for Vindicates again, to keep the "speed" this deck has.

This discussion has a very high "Is Tarmogoyf really better then Werebear? It does not tap for mana" potential.

Against Agro, Jace 2.0 is better then FoF:
- No pressure: Jace > FoF
- One...

Of course, you'll never be cutting Top or Brainstorm from this deck for Jace 2.0. Most of us spend some slots on Jace Beleren and/or Fact or Fiction. (funny, I think that there are at least 10 pages...

Nice. Should be pretty playable.

Who has some good ideas not to overload the 4 CC in this deck?

Well, most of us have been playing the old Jace for a while now. A Jace that can diliver Brainstorms instead of Draw-a-card in two out of three turns, and can protect itself for just 1 mana more is...

I agree that Disk is no argument at all. If you have an indestructible elspeth (technically, all but Elspeth), you should have won the game already, or do so very soon. I really can't think of a...

And by improving your own CB, you're making your countertop matchup worse. I've wished for CB-removal plenty of times.

@ Gustha: Of course, there are a lot of ways to deal with here. I've crushed Elspeth with an Eternal Dragon, once.. But I like having more options. I've settled on Capsize in the board once, it does...

Talking about Elspeth...

Here, more and more Elspeths are being runned in other decks. Of course, some landstill, but in Countertop and The Rock as well. Needless to say that that is bad for us....

Every decent goblinpilot will board out Weirding. Incinerator is the only thing left, but is on it's own a very valid reason.

Are you aware that Strand gets Sea and Scrubland? I agree on Moss' colored manabase.

Moss, did you test with 3 Elspeths? You should try it, so far it has been great for me. (I run 3 Elspeth and 1...

Ok, I played two tournaments lately. One went 2-1-3, what would be 5-1 if the rounds were 2 hours.. This drawstreak inspired me to make the deck faster, with Wastelands and a third Elspeth. I played...

How does Tsaboo's work against Tribal? (and Merfolk in particular) Do you get enough time?

I spend some serious testing against ANT lately. For those who don't know, as a member of Team Nijmegen, I have the opportunity to test against some seriously skilled ANT pilots.

The list I used...

Among other, yes. Most Landstill list are weaker under standstill then the averge merfolklist. That is, if they don't resolve Vial. If they do, you're fucked anyway. Landstill doesn't want 4 dead...

Yes, finally. Thank you. 4 brainstorm is excellent, and is has always been just excellent.


@ Plague: I'm disliking it. Against merfolk, it barely does anything. You need 2 of them to win, so it...

1 Swamp,
1 Scrubland
1-2 Sea should do fine.

Do you ever win against Merfolk with that SB strategy?

You really, really, really need to counter their Vial.

I board Standstill, Counterspell and Jace out.
