My lack of contribution of good information is tied largely to the slow death of the magic scene where I live. I've gone from playing 3-4 times a week to being lucky to play a game of magic (any...
Crying over spilled milk in regards to bans doesn't help us any. If you're in the same boat as me, buying underground seas to just go ahead and splash black is off the table. Getting volcanics was...
Of the two versions of the deck in the 25th Anniversary Pro Tour Valentin Mackl brought the most interesting one, a counterspell oriented slower tempo decks with no Monestary swiftspears, no stifles...
Sorry to double post, but the thread's been inactive for a while. I've been thinking for a minute about aggressive U/R lists like the ones IAmHandsome and I have been running, specifically in regard...
To add to what IamHandsome has said, I got to play 5 or 6 matches against a combo-oriented LED dredge last night with a list very similar to the aggro build he posted earlier, but with soul-scar mage...
With gitaxian probe now banned, how much more of an incentive is there to move towards a wasteland/stifle build over a prowess build? No more DRS makes me think Grim Lavamancer goes down in value...
Thanks for the detailed report and congrats on the finish.
Out of curiosity, how did you like the 2/2 split of Islands and Mountains without Bedlam Reveler? Was it a consideration for the...
As much as I love the deck, I don't think the tools exist right now for it to be playable in the current metagame, or in the foreseeable future. Other decks have better disruption than before and...
I mostly wanted to see if repeatable explore was useful enough on it’s own. 4 copies in either list is probably too many, but I want to see if it would be enough if opponents save removal for...
When I saw Deadeye Tracker spoiled, I immediately wondered if it was a strong enough one drop to have legs in Legacy, so I've finally gotten around to putting together a few ideas for testing it out,...
Thoughts on Nissa, Steward of Elements making a more proactive version of BUG-Still viable? Being able to pump out creatures and get extra land drops under standstill seems strong, and she plays...
I'm not so sure about the dragon. Spellheart Chimera hasn't been good enough till now, though this survives bolt, which is something.
Potentially a couple new cards for the deck:
Cryptic Serpent 5UU
creature - serpent
costs 1 less to cast for each instant and sorcery in your graveyard
5/6
Probably just worse than bedlam...
He usually takes too long to get going and deals too little damage, all while being more vulnerable than stormchaser. Even if I cast him t2 and snap off a probe right away, I usually can't attack...
I'm still running 4 delver, 4 swiftspear, 3 chaser, 2 pyromancer, 1 reveler. I haven't been happy with pyromancers either, so they'll probably get cut as well.
After testing with a single bedlam reveler, I'm agreeing with the thread too. It rarely pulls me ahead from behind like I want it to when I can empty my hand, and more often I can't often my hand...
I'd say that which you choose to run would depend on a few other deck choices. If you are going with a no pyromancer prowess build that plays more like a burn deck with counterspells, I'd be more...
I look at it much like I look at Set Adrift, in that it's probably fine as a one-of in a flex slot, but I wouldn't want to run it in the same deck as Bedlam Reveler.
I have U/R Delver more or less built outside of volcanic and scalding tarns, and I can't justify spending the cash on them when I live in a part of the country where I'm lucky to get to play magic at...
11 fetches with 7 islands seems impractically aggressive.
Also played at SCG Minneapolis, went 3-5 then dropped to run moral support for a friend during his win-and-in (sadly, his dredges were terrible once he got on camera). Feline is definitely right...
I don't like the 10fetch/8 land configuration, even with 3 DTT. The life loss does end up mattering, and you don't need to be shuffling that often. Additionally, the tiny fractional amount of...
How has this been testing for you?
Nice write up Ralf. I agree that having access to Snapcaster is still worth it, though I'm only sticking with one for now.
This is the list I'm thinking about running at the an upcoming SCG open:...
