    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    @and3h: You probably don't want Stifle in this (global) meta. You'd probably be better served splitting that as some number of maindeck Therapies and other value spells. I might suggest 2 Therapy, 1...

    Re: [DTB] Eldrazi Stompy

    Strangler is actually quite strong against Shardless, though. Processing an Ancestral Vision to kill a Baleful Strix or Deathrite would be glorious. But I'm not sold.

    Re: My Tentacle Romance (Nahiri Tax Deck)

    Nahiri fetches Emrakul.

    Like, quickly. Two turn delay if undisturbed.

    EDIT: by the way, as much as I like this name for the Eldrazi deck, it's basically a perfect fit here. Between her rockstar...

    What splashes have you considered, if any? I feel like if you had another option besides Contamination to lock out your opponent's mana (perhaps Blood Moon or Back to Basics), you might give yourself...
  5. Re: [Podcast] The Brainstorm Show episode 17: Lots of stuff and ShardStill

    My point with that line specifically was just to say that the combo itself is an exercise in masturbation. Setting it up takes skill and effort, and I don't want to diminish that.

    Re: [DTB] Eldrazi Stompy

    Thanks! I agree. Though it's a much worse top-deck, Ankh seems quite strong in those matchups. And for those of us still running Metamorph, it seems excellent in multiples.

  7. Re: [Podcast] The Brainstorm Show episode 17: Lots of stuff and ShardStill

    First of all, I have to ask, what does "static grimace" mean? Like, I get that it's supposed to be bad, but I just don't understand what "bad" constitutes in your mind because you've described it in...

    Re: [DTB] Eldrazi Stompy

    This is an intriguing idea, so I'd really appreciate if you could give it a little more meat rather than just throwing out Ankh of Mishra as better than Orb like it's self-evident.

    Lead with Deathrite. The tempo you're losing can be relevant but you can also pick up a lot more tempo by following Deathrite with more mana-intensive plays, mostly involving Young Pyromancer....

    This is my primary concern with it: it doesn't kill x/2s, and there are some very good x/2s.

    But I think you're underestimating instant speed. Mom basically blanks Forked Bolt, but Dual Shot opens...

    Geistblast is so cool.

    Yes, you are correct. I used a poor choice of words. It doesn't have to enter *your* battlefield, it just has to enter *the* battlefield, but it has to enter/be cast from your graveyard to satisfy...

    What are you talking about? The card is clearly designed to return from your graveyard to the battlefield if you cast a creature from your grave or reanimate something.

    You're the German here, but isn't it worded to enter the battlefield with the counters on it, rather than as an ETB trigger? Minor but relevant difference.
