    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Congratulations for your results! If you don't mind I'd like to know your opinion about some main deck and sideboard choices. Starting with the MD:

    - I think Probes are mostly a case of personal...

    I didn't get why you SB in the cage vs Junk Maverick. Am I missing something?

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Exactly!



    A card I like to have against miracles is Pithing Needle. But your sideboard is already pretty good, no idea if it is worth to cut something to have a needle.

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Except if the opponent probed you and saw you have no other land, turn 1 Wasteland is a really bad play from your opponent, if he/she is already facing your Delver. Sometimes you may lose due to this...

    To make sure your opponent tilts, remember to say "Top deck!" when playing the second land.

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    PoP is great vs Lands, Shardless BUG and Blade variants. Submerge is worth its weight in gold against Goyf decks, Elves, Infect and Maverick. Am I missing some relevant deck?

    So it is a meta call...

    Steve Mann decklist is missing 3 SB cards, probably the artifact hate, but that still leaves 1-2 slot undefined. Does anyone knows what they are?

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I think it is up to personal preference, as all stifle/stifle-less discussion has been in all those years.
    However, if one does cut all the Stifles, I believe he should add an extra land, since he...

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I don't think this can be concluded so easily.

    Whenever there is an impact of new strategies in the metagame, it is very common for people to change decks based on theory only. It happened when...

    Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Indeed, but at then there will be a lack of slots for the cantrips, plus TCs, plus burn. This will lead us to the next step, which would be to cut Stifle. From that point on, it would become the UR...

    Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I still think there is nothing wrong with this deck, but if people want to load on Treasure Cruises, it might be necessary to change the creatures configuration. In this case, H. Mandrils are not the...

    Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    But straight UR is possibly better without Stifle, like Bob Huang's list. It is so aggressive that it forgoes the mana denial package.

    In that sense, I think that all flavor of Delver decks are...

    Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Ok, just checking. I agree that the higher card quality and the instant speed should not be overlooked, but TC sheer card advantage and the possibility of casting it for only U makes very hard to...

    Dig Through Time or Treasure Cruise?

    By the way, based on the first SCG Open after KTK, it seems that TC is the real deal. The UR shell tha won the Open looked very focused to capitalize the new...

    For a long time I played:

    1 Goyf
    3 Young Pyromancer
    1 Fire/Ice
    2 Spell Pierce
    3 Gitaxian Probe
    50 RUG Core

    My opinion of Y. Pyro is that he raises the deck power level, but lowers its...

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I played a 4-round on Saturday for a meager 2-2. I got a booster for my trouble, though!
    I'm no begginer, but I'm rusty and this reflects in the performance with this deck.
