Was waiting to see if this deck would be kicked out of the DTB section but I guess Czech Pile (or Grixis Control??) is here to stay.

I have been looking at Wilson Hunter's new Grixis Control list...

Thanks for posting the link to the youtube page. I'll be checking it from time to time to check for uploads.

I've been taking a real hard look at Mar's deck and I can't help but come to the...

It seems that a lot of people are running 3 hymn, 1 Thoughtseize for their discard package while I have been running 2 hymn & 2 TS. While I agree that Hymn is really strong, does it really trump...

Does he not normally play an island and a swamp?

My discard package is currently 2 hymn and 2 thoughtseize. Personally I think I could get on board with his discard package. I have had a lot of...

I don't suppose there is a recording of the Top 8 out there? I'd love to see the finals at least. Anyone have a link?

EDIT: So I guess I should've mentioned that this was a local I played in near me. I didn't mean to mislead anyone into thinking that I played at the GP or something. Sorry if that's the case.

My...

I see what you're saying now. I agree with your assessment that Dead // Gone is probably the best tool since it swaps well for bolt but still answers Marit Lage. The only think I don't like about it...

I'm trying to understand the intent of this comment. Are you saying that running Dead // Gone is making the deck worse overall or is this a comment on some of the above alternatives like Far // Away?...

You raise an interesting point. I have been trying to find a removal spell that answers Marit Lage, is useful against Delver decks and can get around a chalice on 1. Compared to dead gone, it seems...

I sympathise with your feelings on Squee. Having a win con that doesn't care about being exiled or killed is incredibly valuable but (r) (r) would require a reassessment of the mana base.

As a...

Maybe you are referring to me?

Currently I have been 'cutting green' by getting rid of all of the cards that can only be cast with green mana. I still run a trop in order for deathrite activations...

I've been looking at eliminating a color from Czech Pile for a while now in order to run more basics for the recent blood moon heavy meta. From what I've learned, green has access to more efficient...

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I've come back to this thread and it seems like there has been some real good discussion going on. I've gotten caught up on BBD's article and I can't say that...

The primer has needed an update for a while and I would love to work on it but I don't have the time that such a job requires. If someone else is interested on working on it, I'd be happy to do some...

It's generally understood that if Shaman were to get banned that Czech Pile would no longer exist. Pile uses 4 colors interchangeably and has access to cards like Baleful Strix, Hymn to Tourach,...

Has anyone developed a SB guide for Pile? There seem to be a number of people creating them for Grixis Delver and Miracles but I haven't found one posted on this thread.

EDIT: I do realize that...

On a different topic, earlier this week I went to a legacy local. It was 3 rounds and my only loss was to my friend who was on Miracles. He plays more often than I do so it really isn't surprising...

Maybe I undervalue targeted discard. I'll have to do some more testing with Thoughtseize and see if my games improve. Lately I've been seeing less and less combo though which might be why my...

The trick to playing a control deck like Pile or Miracles is that you're #1 job is to figure out what deck your opponent is on and find the cards relevant to beating them. This is often challenging,...

Mono Red Stompy is always not fun. It's so hard to stay in the game and there just isn't enough removal/counters for all of their lock pieces.

He said in the article that BUG is underrated and that Grixis is overrated. That's not exactly the same thing.

While BUG can hymn the best cards out of our hands and capitalise on that tempo with...

For Strix alone, no. But if they see or expect to see a Sylvan Library or Search for Azcanta then they'd probably bring it in. The extra splash damage of killing a Strix to clear the way for their...

It seems kind of interesting to test with. If you are up a game, I can see it being random enough to steal G2. But on the other hand, if you lost G1 then they will see it G2 and probably board in K...

When I first started playing the deck I ran 2 Wasteland / no basics. I occasionally found that I was weak to things like blood moon which could sometimes win games on the spot. However, I think the...

From my experience, unearth can be great in the mirror and against Grixis delver. It's a positive tempo spell that allows you to put a more expensive or valuable creature into play for equal or less...
