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....
Card availability (again, not WotC "card availability = this card is too expensive", but I don't know where to buy one in my area).
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...
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...
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...
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:
Spells: (23)
4x Inquisition of...
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.
...
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...
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...
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...
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...
That's true, but you can't always draw the nuts, and Goblin Guide is better in most other matchups =P
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...
Played a tournament today. Used the exact same list as posted on the previous page. Brief report:
Round 1 + 2: Vs. Myself
Seriously, it didn't matter what my opponents were playing, as I...
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...
Alright, let's do some simple math here, shall we?
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...
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...
Haven't been around for a while, put away this deck for a bit, but I recently came back to it and so far I've won or placed highly in the last 3 Legacy events I've played it in, so I thought I'd come...
That seems reasonable, actually. Has anyone else tried this before?
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...
Just built this deck. Copied my list from the one from SCG Vegas last weekend. I was toying around with it on Cockatrice and solitairing it by myself, and I realized that I would often flip my deck...
