It was excellent a month or so back, before the current control/combo meta evolved. Right now, it's still a decent Recruiter target in the 75 which can break some matches wide open.

Tournament Report: SCG Legacy Classic -- Columbus, OH, 7 October 2018

I think we were referring to different decks. To be clear, there are two decks: Eldrazi Stompy is by far the more common deck, and focuses on a quick offense; while Eldrazi Post is a more recent...

Potentia:

Your build looks fine versus in general and is alright versus Eldrazi Stompy (not Eldrazi Post, but that deck's a bloody nightmare), so I'm not going to recommend any changes there.
...

I think the environment is more favorable to Brightling now than it was a few weeks ago, but there's still enough Strix and Loam decks around that I don't want to put aside my Crusaders, Prelate, or...

I think your list is fine. I'd be hesitant to run with only 14 sources of white mana, but you can get by with that number. I certainly understand the desire to play Factories in this...

Blind in that situation, the odds are roughly even if it's an enchantment or a creature, assuming they play 2 Omni, 4 Sneak, and 3 of each Griselbrand and Emrakul. I'm less sure of your play than I...

He explains some of his reasoning here. I think it's a valid choice, depending on your deck configuration and expected meta.



Good showing in the event. Some of those late matchups were...

I’ve spent some time considering the possibility of a Tutor-focused SB for DnT. Usually these fail to impress for many reasons: poor selection of artifacts/enchantments, going too little or too deep...

I answered you on Discord, but I thought I might respond a bit more methodically here.

When evaluating those two cards only for their performance in the DnT mirror (and ignoring all other concerns...

First thing first: while I disagree with some specific card selections, your deck list looks fine, overall.

As for Grixis Control itself, the matchup isn't actually that bad, but it is overall...

RiP is still worthwhile against Grixis Control. While the card itself doesn't technically do anything immediate to the board state, it dramatically lowers or negates the value of subsequent K....

Have you tried the Flagstones + Dust Bowl combo as well? I'd be curious how they compare. I imagine FoR has some slight edges against a few cases (a bit faster and good against decks with no basics),...

I have given a fair bit of thought to Allen Wu's proposal to run 27-land. If you're interested, take a look.
...

So I read the interview with Wu. Here are my takes:

1. While I disagree with his valuation of Brightling, his assessment of its liabilities is sound. He merely underrates its assets and...

Regarding Kestrel: Okay, I'd considered its anti-enchantment value generally, but not the value of coloring permanents for exploitation by Mom or SoWaP. I'm not sure how good it is overall due to the...

I think you make a good point. Assuming a typical 60 card, 4 Vial, 15 W-source build, you have a roughly 40% chance of turn 1 Vial, and a 48% chance of WWW by turn 3, assuming you’re on the play with...

I don't. That list not only had 3 DoN, but also 2 LtLH. I think that rises to the level of us considering some type of counter-counter strategy.


I do think Ratchet Bomb is a far more reasonable...

Given the similarity in many DnT lists and the specific cards selected, it was clear that a lot of people anticipated a metagame heavy in black, especially DS, Strix, and Reanimate, plus probably...

I'm not sure Prelate is as good in game 2 when you're more likely to see things like Abrade and Sudden Demise, but it is a lot harder to find those cards when all the cantrips are turned off. My big...

I like Revoker. It's good against a lot of decks. The problem is, it's really, really bad against some others (notably RUG Delver). I'd fit a third copy if I could.

On the flip side, I'm debating...

Actually, there were a lot of people saying that Brightling is a bad card.

I agree that Revoker and Prelate are exceptionally good right now.

On the red splash: I think that Abrade is an amazing card, as is Sudden Demise, and both have potential if people return to this approach. Blessed Alliance has potential as well, but it tends to not...

I've updated my DnT Card-Scoring table.

I had to evaluate a bunch of stuff with respect to new decks, so feel free to message me with comments or corrections.

Results were obviously very...

In general, it's a good idea to ignore the comments of someone who makes an account just to lob a baseless insult at a group of people he disagrees with. In fact, just ignore anyone who substitutes...
