I kind of dislike Enlightened and Sterling Grove because you have to play around Thought Scour and Predict in RUG Delver decks.

In my opinion, Ancestral Knowledge is a little too cute.

Sorry about that. My reading comprehension skills seem to be pretty low in the early morning.

I was thinking about this the other day. My initial thought was to include something in the sideboard that functions like an Infest, which is what a lot of decks play to deal with hate bears. The two...

I'm pretty sure that Pithing Needle does not stop the combo. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Food Chain's activated ability is a mana ability and can therefore continue to be activated. With that...

I like Intuition because it's an instant speed tutor for Food Chain or any other spell you may need: e.g., Force of Will, Daze, Fierce Empath, Misthollow Griffin. It's almost always good.

Drift of...

It's not all that problematic. I was, admittedly, overstating how aggravating it was for me. If you cast the Emrakul, it'll bounce it and then you'll just cast it again the next turn and take another...

I finished 2-1-1.

Round 1: Maverick - lost in 3.
In game one, I had a strong draw and was able to combo out easily through a Thalia, which does very little to this deck. In game two, I took a...

After playing in a small local tournament this last weekend, I changed my list up to the following:

4 Food Chain
3 Misthollow Griffin
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
1 AEthersnipe
2 Intuition
2...

One issue I had with Worldly Tutor and even Enlightened Tutor was RUG Delver opponents hitting it with Thought Scour (which has happened a couple of times - not too often). Of course, you can play...

I, too, have been a fan of Surgical Extraction in lieu of Loaming Shaman lately (although I'm still running one in the sideboard as a target for Living Wish). Obviously, it's great when you're able...

My biggest issue with Manipulate Fate is that it's very narrow. It gets Misthollow Griffin and thins the deck of dead cards. Intuition, however, can get a Misthollow Griffin; a Food Chain; an...

Maybe a one of AEther Adept main deck or two side-board and bringing one in post-sideboard (assuming you'd be playing Living Wish, as well) would be a good idea versus decks with Ethersworn Canonist....

There's always AEthersnipe. ^_^

I've removed anywhere between 1-3 Griffins with Manipulate Fate; usually 2. This deck does not want Misthollow Griffin to enter the graveyard from a counterspell. When playing against a deck with no...

My preference is towards Court Hussar, even in decks that have no white source of mana because you can stack the triggers in such a way that you can look at the top three cards, choose a card, place...

I've heard that, as well, but don't see Maga being better than Emrakul either. The only reason that comes to mind would be if your opponent has something that prevents you from attacking, like...

This is the BUG version I've been playing around with:

Enchantment - 4
4 Food Chain

Instant - 17
4 Brainstorm
4 Force of Will
2 Spell Pierce
1 Plunge into Darkness

4 Imperial Recruiter
4 Phantasmal Image
1 Fierce Empath
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn

I'm guessing the combo would go something like this:


With Food Chain in play: Imperial Recruiter -->...

Eureka could be great since you're in green anyways. My concern, though, would be casting Eureka, putting an Emrakul in play and then your opponent putting a Jace, the Mind Sculptor in play.

AEthersnipe can bounce Ensnaring Bridge and an opponent's Emrakul, the Aeons Torn to clear the way for your own. I'm guessing that there might be a number of situations in which something needs to be...

This thread is intended for developing a decklist and discussing how to use Food Chain.

Here's my current decklist for a version using Misthollow Griffin (which was heavily influenced by Caleb...
