I played UWb Landstill to an unfortunate 5-3 finish at the Madison SCG yesterday. Beat BW aggro 2-0 (like Death and Taxes without the lock), Uwb Thopters 2-0, lost to Dream Halls 0-2, High Tide 1-2,...

For a stage three control deck, you are better off just answering the cards instead of setting them back a few turns. This deck can't take care of the time advantage created because of our glacial...

Never ever ever ever ever ever ever run less than 4 Swords to Plowshares in this deck. Devastating Tide is a way worse answer to non creatures than EE or Vindicate, and way worse at killing creatures...

Shhh, don't tell anyone. I bought two Russian ones prior to the GP, but I haven't even tried them out yet. I've been toying with Lingering Souls to some success, but I am unhappy with the numbers of...

Running Liliana would be overly ambitious, at least with the current manabase. the WW spells would have to be dropped; the manabase can't afford UU on turn two, BB on turn 3, and WW turn four with 7...

I wouldn't worry about it, a lot of matches day two went really long into the 50 minutes so I didn't have much time to talk between rounds anyway. I'm very busy with class and work this week, so it...

I piloted UW Landstill to a 113th place finish at the GP. No Wish, no duals for EE at 3. Day two was very disappointing; I had a couple of close games where I had poor draws in pretty good matchups...

Wish into Beast Within is only a turn faster than Wish into Rootgrapple, so it's not that much slower. (t3 Wish, t4 Beast as opposed to t3/4 Wish, t5 Rootgrapple).



Exactly.

If we are concerned about non-Jace walkers and want to find a Wish target that kills them, why not play Rootgrapple? It costs more, but the decks that play walkers give you plenty of time to reach 5....

Straw man?




This is Landstill. Your goal main goal is to stop the opponent from killing you. Beast Within does a terrible job of doing so; it causes you to waste additional resources on the...

If we are splashing a third color, why not just play Vindicate? I'd much rather have play Vindicate at Sorcery speed than give my opponents free Wild Nacatls.

I took a very similar list to the one I took to the GPT to a small tourney today, getting first and walking away with $50 cash. I squeezed two Cliques in place of a Hydroblast and a Tsabo's Decree as...

I am very exciting about this card in Landstill. First and foremost it answers Vial, and does a nice job of skirting around Daze if you are on the play. It also happens to answer cards in matchups...

I actually like the Wish version against Dredge and combo, if you run Rav and MB Trap side. Ravenous Trap is your only hope to win game one against Dredge, and coupled with other hate it makes games...

The manabase is more inconsistent than the UWx ones I run, I definitely admit that; with UWx I'm not afraid of mana disruption unless they nut draw you with multiple Wastes and Stifles, but the mana...

If you want your secondary fetch to be able to find basic Islands, at least run Polluted Delta. Rainforest can't find Scrubland, and the W+off color dual is one I fetch often in the face of mana...

I played UWr Landstill twice this weekend, yesterday I played a Wish version at Monsters Den in Minneapolis going 4-2, getting 16th out of 57. Started off 0-2, losing to TES 0-2, then Merfolk 1-2...

True, the "classic" 4cc bombs Landstill shell is very viable. I played UWr at Indy and finished 4-3-1, but doing less than stellar was more my fault than the deck's.

My tie was against UG Show...

Who is going to SCG Indianapolis? Some of us are most likely heading from Cedar Falls on Saturday. I will probably play Landstill or Supreme Blue.

If they have first turn Vial, play fetches, then basics and don't crack the fetches unless you need to. That's how to play against mana-disruption of Wastes and Ports. Even with only four or five...

Of course you have problems with recurring Wastes with fewer basics, but:


Very few people actually play Loam, or Wastelock. We shouldn't be afraid of a deck that makes up such a small portion...

Playing more basics generally doesn't help against Wasteland, against Landstill Wasteland will always have a target. Wasteland's effectiveness isn't dependent on the number of basics a deck has, it's...
