Pippo seems to have moved on from this deck, making me the de facto primer maintainer. Is there anything that anyone would like to see added? I know we're all pretty experienced with the deck but I...
Nice thread. I think it's good to list what cards would be in the "optimal" builds to give a clear upgrade path.
In CounterTop Thopters, I just checked Ebay and Elspeth and Enlightened Tutors are...
Thanks for your thoughts Forlorn Egoist.
It seems that the "in vogue" mana accel for Enchantress has changed over the years. Back in the day it was ESG, or Exploration, then Chrome Mox was cool,...
@Toofresh: Welcome to the Source!
I'm glad to see interest in the deck, and I'd recommend reading through the almost 30 pages of discussion in this thread. The deck hasn't changed substantially...
Future Sight as a one-of is not a bad idea, it's actually been discussed a bit in the Counter Thopters thread. You get mad card advantage even with just one Top on the table, and you can counter FoW...
In Pauper? In Mercadian Masques Block Constructed? Brainstorm value rises dramatically the more powerful the other cards in your deck are. People knew Brainstorm was good back in the Ice Age days,...
It's true that playing Solitary Confinement very early is usually not sustainable. Sometimes though it's necessary to do so inorder to stay alive. And don't forget that you have 2-3 Replenishes. I...
So I played Enchantress in a small local tournament... and Junk utterly eviscerated me. He went something like T1 Mox+Hymn, T2 Hymn+Thoughtseize, T3 Vindicate my only land... I had no chance. Would...
@versus: thanks for the advice about nodes, I don't get a chance to test much.
I think it's wise for this deck to have a backup plan if the Thopter plan doesn't work out for whatever reason, be...
Humility works just fine, I use it myself, though it does bring its own set of pros and cons. You could also just go without a 2WW enchantment and lean a little bit more on Shackles and Ensnaring...
On Intution: Earlier in this deck's development, I overlooked Intuition in favor of Gifts Ungiven because Intuition doesn't give you both pieces of the combo in hand like a Gifts pile can. Probably...
Looks even more like The Truffle Shuffle, right down to the Top/Tusker draw engine:

I suppose it could be...
I think that kind of draw engine only works in stax-style or heavy permanent decks where you want to play out all your cards immediately. Your cards disappear if you don't use them under Uba Mask,...
The Faerie Stompy thread was not closed. If you want to discuss Tribal Faeries in Legacy (which this deck is not), create a new thread for it.
I've updated the opening post of this thread with a primer that Pippo84 sent me months ago. Sorry for not posting it earlier, dude, I kinda fell off the face of the earth for a bit and lost interest...
Or in english... you can't bounce something after you sacrifice it.
Yikes, now that this thread is in Established (and rightly so), it really needs a better opening post. When I made the thread, I thought the deck was cool, but definitely didn't realize it would end...
If you don't have or want to use E Tutors, instead play 3-4 Thopter Foundries so you can draw/filter into them, and 3-4 Stoneforge Mystics to find your Sword of the Meek. Doing so takes the deck in...
I agree that there's several uses for Loam, which makes it interesting that the "evolved" list cut Loam entirely. (as described in the recent article=...
Can someone explain the power level errata on Thawing Glaciers? Does it have to do with the "at end of turn" -> "cleanup step" wording change? I feel like I'm missing something there.
Well Lewis has obviously tested his deck, and I haven't, however it's anything but "standard" card choices.
First and foremost I'm not sure I see the point of white with only 2 Plows. He admits...
Yup, I tried 4 Stoneforge Mystics at first but it was too much, the multiples were not as helpful, even with a Jitte in there, 3 is a good number. I'm trying 4 Moms, 3 Mystics, 3 Trinket Mage, 3...
Obviously you're right about Gifts... perhaps it would be somewhat more playable in a build of this deck using 2-mana lands and Chrome/Diamond Mox. But, I don't see much development on that version...
Do you really need 4 Vials and 3 Equips? Those are the slots I would look at, potentially shaving off one of each.
