First off, thank you to Fenrus for the thorough Gdoc and Jesure for the great tournament write-up - excellent excellent content. I'm with Fenrus that Mono-R feels awful. In theory, it seems like we...
Most builds play 6-7 pump spells (in addition to 4 Invigorate), and the configuration depends on how aggressive you want to be. 3 Vines, 2 Berserk, 1 BI is the most common (and what I play). I feel...
Put the poison crew back together for a local 4-rounder. Post-ban, this is what I want to be playing - powerful, proactive, and relatively under-the-radar. My sense is that people have forgotten how...
I've seen some chatter around this card, but I honestly don't see it. Flexibility can be hard to value correctly, but a sometimes-Dispel, most-of-the-time-Cancel seems a big step down from...
I played 3 trop + 1 island for a while and I would strongly recommend against 2 island. I'd replace with breeding pool if you can (unless you see a lot of Blood Moon, it's almost always better than...
LSV's latest "What's the Play" features some interesting mechanics you all are no doubt familiar with: https://www.channelfireball.com/articles/lsvs-play-infect-legacy/
I think that's a wise change -- the deck can very green-hungry. Your best t1 plays are G, you can't free-cast Invigorate without a forest (so it's v. nice to have an un-wasteable one), and you need...
I played around this for a while because Meekstone is one of those cards that's abstractly powerful (and one-sided for us!) but it never played out as powerful as I hoped. They always get to attack...
I agree with Neffy :)
I think it's play/draw dependent vs. Eldrazi, where T1 Elf, T2 Library is a busted start on the play, but doesn't match up well against a T1 Chalice if you're on the draw....
I play a stock U/G build with 4x FoW and Sylvan Library main. My strategy is +2 Surgical, +1-2 Grip, +1 Bog, +1 Crop Rot, +1 Needle, +1 Wasteland, taking out 3x Daze, 3x Probe, and 1-2x Pierce. I'd...
If loading up on Jitte continues to be the plan for eldrazi/grixis delver/etc vs. us, we may have a fun new tool to fight back...

I've been playing 3 pieces of dedicated hate for a long time, usually 2 Kgrip with Seal (I may start trying Corrupter in that slot for larger tourneys, but there's at least one Show&Tell and one...
Great against:
1. Lands (Glacial Chasm really hard to beat)
2. Sol Land decks -- Eldrazi, Tezzeret, random Stompy Builds, Sneak and Show
3. Mirror
4. Maverick/AggroLoam (if you bring in 2...
So long-time lurker, first poster. My first legacy deck was a B/G infect homebrew featuring dark ritual and phyrexian crusader, but when I got a set of FoW for christmas about 3 years ago, I...
