He scouted one dredge deck, and that was all that showed up.


Excellent metagaming, not failure to prepare.

You're such a tease.

(Good work, keep it going!)

There seem to be a disconnect here. The decks packing 11+ removal have some trouble with aggro, and CB+Top isn't really super good there. Couple that with the fact that 4/8 of your removal will...

That's 3 less slots that I get to board in in the majority of my games. Board space is tight as it is, and I don't like cutting it shorter running narrow cards to wish for.

And before someone...

I don't run wish, personally since I like having a SB, but this is my current list. Forgive me for the abbreviations:

4 STP
3 EE
2 WoG
2 Humility

4 Fow
3 CS
2 Spell Snare (could be pierce...

Imo, wish boards should be as small as possible. E. truth really doesnt handle any problems that EE doesn't handle and this guy's poor SB has been bastardized with all sorts of unnecessarty slots...

I run SDT, but I also run quite a few more planeswalkers than you do, and need the early game filtering.

6 4cc spells is honestly a tad... low. You can certainly get away with running FoF.

How many 4cc's are you running? I'm running SDT's to smooth out my curve and draws: they fulfill similar roles late game but very different roles early game (FoF pitches to force and SDT does...

This seems terrible: like it weakens the core of the deck while providing a clock not much faster than elspeth. Does anyone have any numbers or results to back this up at all or is this just "on...

19 land is about 4 less than you should be playing. I'm amazed you hit your 4 drops, really ever. The ajani should probably be an elspeth, and 3 doj looks heavy. Also, your cb curve looks super low,...

Well fine, that's it 90% of the time. In some matchups and at some times the fate seal trick is deadly, you just have to know when to use it.

Coetzee: Humility and P2E would ruin most of that...

@Morbid: Jace 2.0 has a massive learning curve, which I've learned that hard way a few times. Your example is a tad obvious though, you should NOT be fate sealing them if they're in anything but...

What matchups does something like that engine improve? The copies still get hit by CB and Iona, you lose access to mass removal and spell snare and are stuck with quite a few mediocre instants MB...

Humility lets a deck that otherwise plays a fair game in an unfair format play an unfair game. Right now, since no one runs MB 4cc enchantment removal and creatures are getting bigger and less...

Drake doesn't hit Inkwell or Prog because it's targeted. Or am I mistaken?

Even if you get Iona with it, you're still largely shut off and they can combat it better than you can, so drake seems...

They're so strong on paper now, really, and only good game one. I really want something in the MB to drop early on that'll protect me from Iona and Progenitus for the rest of the game, since I don't...

Just split 1/2 in a small tournament with a redic. competitive meta. Pretty much fully powered decks and I thought I'd give my $.02 on the matchups I faced.

Round one: Cynthia with Merfolk

She...

@ Reanimator matchup: I think Faerie Macabere is the right answer to an increase in popularity. Uncounterable, undisenchantable, unduressable, instant speed pinpoint graveyard hate sounds pretty...

Congrats on the finish!

I know a little while back both Rogue and myself expressed an interest in playtesting Jace M. again, and I've done a little work with him. All in all, I'm impressed. I...

I've been doing the same for a while, and thus why I'm not super into humility. It's hard to destroy a sorcery.

I think a build I had some success with a month or so ago packed 2/2 humility/wrath...

What do you guys think about diabolic edict? It solves a lot of the major problems facing these builds, namely iona and progenitus. And honestly, other than zoo and perhaps merfolk, what other...

I can see this. The numbers haven't been there! But the meta may be shifting away from landstill. I'm worried about 43land.dec coming back in enough numbers that you might have a shot at facing it...

I don't know what you guys are quibbling about, SDT v. FoF. They're not complimentary, but redundant. SDT is one of the few cards the deck plays that serves different roles in every matchup and at...

I'd play a singleton P2E over MOI any day. It doesn't cost a land drop, can't get wasted, and has surprise factor. MOI is trash in landstill.
