Oh man. I just posted a report where I lost to this exact deck in the finals. It's not easy without Drops!
...

I feel the same way. Maverick can interact with everything we have, and Knight just steamrolls us. It's really hard to stop them from getting the 1GW they need. EE is good for sure, and so is Bog and...

Won the last 3 local 8-man tourneys with Lands, going 4-0 in all of them with 61 cards. The meta has turned fair all of a sudden - perfect.

Changed to Jund yesterday packing decay MD and deluge...

I've boarded out 4 Loams against Belcher, too.

That is still a plan that won't win us many games by virtue of us needing both Sphere and Grip. Game 1 is still almost free for them. I do agree that Port is better than GQ in this matchup, even...

I wrote a short report about Grand Prix Chiba. This was the list I played:

// Lands
1 Barbarian Ring
1 Bayou
1 Bojuka Bog
4 Dark Depths
1 Forest
4 Ghost Quarter
1 Glacial Chasm

There were tons of bridges all over the place. I made Top 4 of the Vintage side event today playing Oath! Salt level is pretty much zero right now!

Had marit out, he had Bridge. I Gamble for Decay, of course I lost the Decay!

I went 5-4 in GP Chiba with RGB.

R1 merfolk 2-1
R2 shardless 2-1
R3 burn L 0-2
R4 Belcher 2-1
R5 grix delver 2-0
R6 aluren L 0-2
R7 Ur delver 2-0
R8 omni L 0-2

Has anyone else tried the Crucible of Worlds in the sideboard? I've blown people up with it, but not from a position where I was far behind. It seems win more, but I haven't seen it in my hands...

I could be wrong, but I board out a bunch of 1cc spells when I bring in Chalice. Against Miracles, Rotation goes away, and a Gamble or two. I don't like casting Gambles before Chalice on 1 because...

I think that part is all about dodging Prelate + Revoker from Death and Taxes.

I like the 4 Chalice SB right now. 4 Chalice 2 Sphere 4 Crop Rotation / Bog / Karakas is ok against BR Reanimator. It's not exactly a free win for them if they can't Entomb for the T1 Tidespout. 4...

Congrats, cin! Seems like Lands is doing really well in Manila. I would LOVE to join your tourneys, but I'm in Cebu. :frown:

Probably playing with spheres maindeck tomorrow in my local weekly. I...

Agree with this.

My meta is mostly Combo, so I'm pretty sure a build with Spheres and Chalice MD is better here. There are only a few decks that Sphere is bad against locally, and they still...

The thing about running only 1 Sphere Game 1 is that most combo decks can just draw out of it because many of the games take a long time to close unless a quick Marit Lage shows up. I have Stormed...

Pretty easy 4-0.

R1 some sort of goblin aggro deck.
2-0 Depths takes both games.

1-0 in matches

35 lands gives us 99.82% chance of having a land in hand. 32 gets 99.69. I'm not sure it's going to matter too much since the chance of having mox is just 39.95%. Even if it does, having slightly...

Tired of losing to the random fast combo decks that I keep seeing here. Starting 0-1 in most of my matches is tough. I'm playing this 61-card list tonight:

4 Sphere of Resistance
2 Chalice of...

I've noticed Daryl_Ayers has been running only 2 Ports. Does anyone know why he chose to run only two?

edit: Nevermind, found the answer two pages back. Budget choice.
