I probably can't say for sure which is better among 3 and 4 color lists, as I haven't taken the time to test Pernicious Deed, which is the green card Slosh plays that I'm curious about the most. I...

There are a few lists like that, I've brewed/tried a few myself, and I wouldn't really recommend them. You end up with this issue of not being able to serve either half of your Cabal Rit/PiF or...

Hi everyone,

I took a list similar to the one I was discussing above to a CFB 3K tournament today and got 9th out of 90-something people with a 5-1-1 record (drew round 7 at 4th place,...

I do like 16 lands somewhat (I'm running 15 compared to Slosh because I can't do the 61-card special). I had a build a while back with 16 lands that ran 5 basics and 4 Preordains for maximum...

Well, dropping green and running 60 cards are obvious differences, but they're pretty similar lists fundamentally:

2 Tendrils of Agony
1 Empty the Warrens
2 Past in Flames
1 Grim Tutor
4...

I've been having some success with a Grixis list based on Sloshthedark's double ToA/PiF list. One of the nicest things about the list is when people try to lock down your Infernal Tutors (highly...

That’s an interesting question. They lead on Mire > Pass, so I was actually half-bracing to lose to Entomb and wanted to save info. Against Mountain, though, I think you’d play out Petal.

I ran into a pretty neat sequence in this last game, where Dark Petition allowed me to beat Eidolon on the draw, while also beating Fireblast as an out (saves the...

I had a sort of mess-around/goldfish pile like this that I tooled around with before. There is an issue that the Ad Nauseam doesn't actually seem all that good with so many 4CMC cards and Seething...

Had to finish my MTGO league before it ended tonight. Nice send-off to the deck as I know it. For those who are squeamish about...

Idk that I'd want 2nd PiF or EtW as much without Probe. Free storm and info was a big deal for EtW and value probe flashbacks were part of what made 2 PiFs awesome in slugfests versus control....

These sound like really awkward additions that put a lot of fluff in your deck that doesn't help you combo out. Maindeck removal that requires your splash color seems particularly bad main deck when...

If you want cards for grindy matchups, a pick that shows up now and again is Night's Whisper. Pieces seems a bit lackluster given the high cost, it also can't pick up artifacts/enchantments, which...

The Short Answer
Theoretical versatility can add value in game 1 situations, where the configuration of your main pays the biggest dividends. Moreover, I place a lot of emphasis on making sure I can...

I think that the 1:1:1:1 ratio of PiF, EtW, Petition, and Ad Nauseam is a great way to balance the utility of all these cards. It prevents dud-draws of double PiF, for instance, gives you the...

I wasn't impressed with those videos, it seemed like he often overboarded and/or didn't need them. He also had odd boarding choices like boarding out a Petal when he's bringing the Bobs as opposed to...

The whole point of sudden shock is to beat mother of runes and karakas/vial stuff, pyrite would be a pretty inefficient substitute overall because it inefficiently pressures karakas/vial

I would tend to disagree, I think the 2nd PiF ability to be protection and/or business is probably a big deal. For those playing the "Full House" of ToAs over PiFs, though, I've been trying DP over a...

You IT for another IT to grab LED, that get you 5 mana for Duress and ToA, 10 Storm:

LED (4)
IT (5)
C. Rit (8)
PiF (3)
C. Rit (6)
IT (4)
IT (2)
LED (5)

That's the whole point, actually. Winning those matchups is the incentive to playing that deck; I picked it up when Miracles + Jeskai Blade was 30+% of the meta alongside Delver on MTGO, for...

One of the issues you have to accept is that, without something like a Top of your own, you can't improve your card quality in the face of CB. I've lost a few games where they opponent went SDT > CB...

I wasn't there. Was there an impostor me at Lille o_0 ?

Congrats to everyone, looking forward to all the reports.

Hi guys,

Last week, Jona and I teamed up to record some games with "Grinding Station", a super resilient build that resembles some of the lists teching multiple PiF and/or omitting maindeck Ad...

Simply, regardless of what you turn over with Ad Nauseam, the aim is to win with Tendrils, right?

If you have more ToA main deck, you increase the likelihood that you can just turn over some...

I chose Bayou because it makes my Xantid Swarms and green business a lot better, and I often cast PiF off LED/Petal which reduces the need for additional red sources, imo
