Maybe I'm not being clear.

I am saying that this approach is a losing strategy against Merfolk, which also does not run Nacatl or in most cases Goyf either. It seems you might be thinking of...

That's the entire point, all of them matter due to the way in which Landstill wants to win.

No, you're wrong about Merfolk. Reactive plans just do not beat Merfolk, even if you think Peacekeeper is the bees knees. If you want to beat decks like Merfolk, you *must* have a proactive, faster...

Landstill doesn't struggle so much because of specific matchups. It struggles more because of specific cards than it does matches. For example most people in this thread would say Zoo is a...

The point is that Landstill follows this same path. Landstill isn't about establishing control anymore than T2 Control decks are. How often do you simply play an Elspeth or Jace then ride it to...

I think you might have a few misconceptions.

The description in that link says it all.

"This version of Blue Control...

So you don't think this applies to, say, Morphling?

So what is a real control deck?

I find this rather amusing given your current sig.

I think this is a poor question, and I think a lot of people say this all the time. "What matchup does this card improve." With Jace? How...

I am not going to go into too much detail, or why I feel you have a few misconceptions about this particular match, because the biggest problem here is that most Landstill players simply cannot give...

People tend to get caught up in the idea that Landstill gains virtual card advantage by running no creatures, so the opponent is stuck with dead creature removal. What usually gets lost in this...

You bring up the idea of not wanting to play the wrong engine in the wrong deck. Let me use this idea to explain where I'm coming from a bit more clearly, because I didn't exactly go into detail...

Because Merfolk is worse!

Once you start running Counterbalance, what is stopping you from just taking the next step and playing Dreadstill?

It is quite difficult to take you seriously when you post like this. There is no reason to show this much disrespect, especially when it's just a disagreement over a card in a magic deck. Here is...

We seem to be on different wavelengths regarding this.

It appears you feel Elspeth is just as powerful as Jace. I don't consider making a 1/1 "winning" nor do I consider it "really good" like you...

So you need Wrath of God to make Elspeth better than a 4 mana Maze of Ith?

And why do you need Elspeth if you're resolving Wrath against a creature deck anyway? I'd still rather cast any number...

Elspeth is a 4 mana Maze of Ith against aggro.

What is the difference between casting Jace and removing their Jace

vs.

Casting FoF and getting a 1:4 split, where you have to take the 1 pile to answer their Jace?

....

If you answered...

I thought you said you weren't too worried about killing Jace with the rest of your deck. Why don't you just kill it normally, then play Jace afterword?

This is a really poor argument for not playing Jace.

If you don't have much of a problem killing an opponent's Jace, then how are they blanking your own copy of Jace? Your reasoning makes no...

Magic theory is not bullshit. Maybe your personal experience of the theory is.

But for anyone who succeeds, they will tell you that the written theory articles are just a way of putting abstract...
