    Re: RW Combo-Prison

    Oh wow there's actually some new activity here.



    Nobody plays any of those cards in my meta. There is literally zero copies of Delver or Pyromancer, the only tokens are from Empty the Warrens...

    Re: RW Combo-Prison

    Played this deck last week at my local. Of course the one week I bring it, all the fair deck players showed up. I played against, in order, Monogreen 12post, Topless Miracles, Nic Fit, and the bye....

    RW Combo-Prison

    No, not "Combo/Prison", "Combo-prison". As in, a prison for combo decks. My local metagame is comprised almost entirely of Storm, Burn, Eldrazi, and Marit Lage (Lands/TurboDepths) with a splashing...

    Re: [DTB] MonoU OmniTell

    Hey guys, a couple questions:

    1) What is our plan against decks which run Extirpate? Like, we can just say "kill them", but if they resolve a Hymn or Thoughtseize and take Show, and then...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    My metagame is very heavy combo, burn, and other spell-based decks. Thorn of Amethyst is basically Sphere of Resistance against them (in other words, really good), and I don't own Spheres but had...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Pox

    With the release of Waste Not, I built this deck and played it to a 3-1 finish at my local Legacy event this week. Here's my list followed by a brief event report:

    Re: [Deck] U/R Delver

    Just T8'd a local 41-man Legacy event the other day with this list. It also did well for me previously in local Legacy events, although I recently moved and no longer have access to those stores.

    Re: GP Detroit

    I actually did. I Day 2'd GP Mental Misstep with Mental Misstep in my deck as a 4-of. I did not have that many Mental Misstep battles over the event; in 12 rounds (I had 3 byes) I think I played...

    Nacatl was banned because Nacatl aggro was strictly better than all other forms of aggro (except Affinity, which has been a player forever). Take a look at the format we have now, and you can see...

    Re: GP Detroit

    The format is fine. Look, it's a bunch of midrangey creature decks in the Top 8, all of which play green (except Robots, we still have to fix that), and none of the things the target audience hates,...

    This article was much less convincing than Carsten's original article, which I think this tried to riff off of but didn't quite do the deal. This article seemed to come from the position of "Tin...

    Re: [Deck] U/R Delver

    I don't think it quite does what you think it does. A couple problems with Vortex:

    1) The obvious one but the least one, it costs 3. This means you play it on turn 3. This means on turn 3...

    Re: [Deck] U/R Delver

    As I said, check out my build. It's on Page 51. It has a very good green-based midrange matchup. My sideboard, as previously mentioned, boards out the countermagic suite for a more burn and...

    There's an old adage a friend once told me which is applicable here: "When does Lightning Bolt kill Emrakul?" "When the controller is at 3 life".

    It's basically the same idea here. We don't beat...

    Check my list on the previous page. I haven't lost many matches to midrange decks of any sort. Jitte's rough, as is Engineered Plague, but outside of those 2 cards I think I've won almost every...

    Re: [Deck] U/R Delver

    This deck is very weak to Show and Tell decks, no question, but I find that against Storm-esque decks I can usually get there off the amount of countermagic in the deck. Daze is the weakest...

    First, we take as axiomatic that you want to actually use that second line of text on Snapcaster Mage and aren't playing it intending it to be...

    Re: [Deck] U/R Delver

    15 lands with only 2 basics is quite ridiculous. A few reasons why you should not be playing 15 lands:

    1) It basically makes Snapcaster a dead card. I notice that your deck plays no Gitaxian...

    What I tend to find is that I start going off around turn 3 when playing solitaire or around turn 4-5 when my opponent has interaction. Bolting the turn 1 Elf really hurts, I've found. Particularly...
