    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    If you can't find space, split your Missteps between board and main.

    The thing about Misstep is that, while being the most amazingly efficient card in the history of the universe, it goes against...

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    It doesn't really fix the problem Deadguy has, IMO, which is lack of a serious undercosted clock. There's a million decent disruptive guys you can run: Mindcensor, Canonist, Tidehollow, etc. But most...

    I don't necessarily dislike Phyrexian Arena here. It does sort of what Jace, The Mind Sculptor does for some BUG/Team Americaish lists. Lets your 1-for-1 game be a significantly better strategy....

    Agreed. I'm way beyond skeptical. Sword of Body and Mind is absolutely terrible. It offers no removal, no lifegain, no card advantage, and very limited protection from removal. There are way better...

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    I've had 4 in the sideboard, and the more I play the deck, the more I want them maindeck. I'm starting to think it's Mental Misstep that deserves the maindeck spot, and the discard that deserves to...

    Phyrexian Crusader would just be nuts against Zoo, but I don't know that it's worth it given how he doesn't play nice with your other swingers.

    The Zoo decks I face are either usually burn heavy...

    I'm 5-0 in matches against Zoo, 10-2 in games.

    Deadguy lists that get steamrolled by Zoo need to question how much they're using their own life total as a resource. Thoughtseize and...

    1. Fetid Heath is what makes Mirran Crusader playable in a primarily black deck. It lets you develop your first two pieces of mana as basic swamps (Or Swamp/Chrome) if necessary and if you fear a...

    I actually like Mental Misstep for a different reason. It helps you get around the fact that Discard's so subpar in this format on the draw. It gives you interaction and a chance to not just be run...

    All good questions. Let me do my best to answer them.

    1. Singleton SDT. The purpose was that I just didn't really have room for a second one in the build I was testing. I've since made room for...

    I can easily see not maindecking Vindicates if you don't run Chrome rather than maindecking them. Despite its amazing versatility, the card's slow and clunky and walks into Daze all day long....

    No. He's not. There isn't a single matchup in existence for Deadguy Ale where he's worth his salt. His high selling point was always that he was good against Tarmogoyf, and that's back when Tarmogoyf...

    Four major things, without going into too much analysis.

    1. Jotun Grunt is the blows. Make him go away.

    2. Mother of Runes is an absolute monster with both Dark Confidant and Stoneforge Mystic....

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    I wouldn't suggest taking the focus away from black. Hymn to Tourach is one of the best nonblue cards in Legacy, as is Dark Confidant. These two cards are the core of your deck.

    However, I still...

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    Mirran Crusader is ballstacular. Any deck packing four Stoneforge Mystics ought to strongly consider her. This one is no exception.

    If you're going to run 3+ of her, however, you really ought to...

    You could easily maindeck STP over Therapy depending on your metagame.
