Is Mother of Runes still decent? Playing a list with a lot of active distuption and a number of Mental Missteps It could lead to some decent opening plays (Mom, misstep the removal, Thoughtseise,...
Just a random aside, have you considered a red splash? It opens up pyroblast for the Mirror and other blue decks (not like that's really a big deal but it's tech in some places and lets you straight...
So, uh, small suggestion: Kiln Fiend? I've played a couple decks like this and Kiln Fiend is one of those "if he doesn't turn up it doesn't cripple the deck, but if you see it... uh oh" kind of...
Two kinda obvious observations: Silence or chant on a stick is much better than the Rule of Law + Stick + Counterspell Lock, but both are about as vulnerable to Pithing Needle and Krosan Grip, which...
The concepts, not the list itself. Thirst is a really strong card that lets you pull stupid three for ones with sword and get a new card for extra tops and extra foundries, and various other things...
Okay, I play a much different version of the deck (it's missing counterbalance because a friend has my tops right now), and it has a good bit of interesting ideas to it that I'll just bring into the...
Good point. Extirpate? Bojuka Bog?
It's essentially a pile a friend and I wrote down a couple weeks ago, and it's kinda nuts:
4 thoughtseize
4 Inquisition of Kozilek
4 Duress
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Dark Ritual
4 Diabolic Edict
4...
The question is what you would take out for Jace, really. You don't touch artifacts or enchantments because if you take too many out you become susceptible to Krosan Grip, Sower is kinds nuts...
To be blunt, jace just seems terrible. He's a good supply engine, but when it comes to winning it's just... it looks bad. Sure you can grind them forever with him and eventually get up to twelve...
It's a thought that two of those three are bad matchups because of the Natural Order nonsense? Not being negative, but isn't it accurate to say that the older lists that didn't run the Bant set-up...
So, I've always had a fettish for blue, the type of control that drastically limits your opponents options and captiolizes on their mistakes, and threats. For the longest time I tried to mesh the...
Interesting point.
Got me. I think that impression just came from our goblins player throwing stuff under the bus to live for another turn and swing lethal.
This deck looses instantly when CB hits the table. If...
o_O
You mean you haven't suggested 'Goyf already?
Because Akroma is slower than Hellkite Overlord, less flexible than Bogardan Hellkite, less protected than Simic Sky Swallower, and doesn't do anything special in it's own right. Also, the whole...
Threshold with a creature-base approximately like this:
Noble Hierarch x4
Werebear x4
Rhonx War Monk x3
Mystic Enforcer x1-2
Will roflstomp, NOt quite gro' will be present, but... not in the...
You seem to fail to realize the part where all of your ideas have been examined and don't pull their weight/ fail miserably, and take away slots from much better alternatives. I promise, my group has...
lol
Back on topic, the parable that threats are better than answers keeps recurring. This makes no sense, because when you take a look at the Top Eight data from the GP, the Decklists and card...
Really? I think it's a solid way to ensure your survival into the late game, which is a control deck's main aim. What if he ran 3-4 Smothers instead of PtE? Also, Nihil, why not do that? The land...
With this news, I now announce my intent to move to Germany.
A removal package like this:
3 Diabolic Edict
4 StP
3 Vindicate
with:
4 Daze
3 Spell Snare
4 FoW
