I've been tinkering with a list featuring Blood Moon for more than a year now. I consider the deck a successor to my old Quinn deck (it's still top's, tutors and bullets after all), although I guess...

Runed Halo is great, especially in the current metagame...but probably won't save you from Emrakul because of the Annihilate-trigger :wink:.

I actually slung a few games against pox with a pretty...

I'd take out 2 painter / 2 grindstone / 2 something (depends on what emrakul-deck we're talking about) for 2 evening, 2 opalescence and 2 replenish. I would also consider to bring in Ghostly Prison...

Concerning the alternate kill-condition-idea vs Emrakul etc: how bad would Opalescence + Enchanted Evening be? It nukes all lands in play, which will almost always mean they'll never play another...

Double checked this and you are correct. Normally I recon myself pretty good at this layer stuff, so sad face here for screwing this up :(.

You're right about the "keeping removal in" part. Since, in general, I try to NEVER play my painter unless I'm able to combo with chant protection that turn, that part doesn't really bother me. It...

@Antonius:
I've tested the angel-plan before and I was unimpressed. Thing is, because our deck doesn't run counterspells, it's very hard to keep her alive. Often, people don't side out their...

So far, the only cards which might be playable in Quinn are the new Elspeth en maybe Chimeric Mass (as a Humility and WoG-proof wincondition) as far as I'm concerned. Although I doubt any of these...

Tbh, I never found ANT to be that bad of a matchup - certainly not worse than 40-60 pre board and favorable post board. Thing is, I don't think Quinn's matchup against stormcombo will change that...

Well, I pretty much gave my views on how to deal with Iona in this post on the previous page :). Karakas is ok, but it's really only effective against Iona, which makes it too narrow for my taste....

I'll agree that the deck can be difficult to play - being control a format as broad as legacy always is.

@ Raye: That being said, I have to say that your matchups were far from optimal. Stax is...

I tend to disagree. Abeyance is strong as a complement to Chant. It gets you around stuff that chant can't solve (namely QPM, EE, Deed, Gempalm Incinerator) to force through the combokill. As I've...

Genju of the Fields
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Plains
2: Until end of turn, enchanted Plains becomes a 2/5 white Spirit creature with "Whenever this creature deals damage, its controller gains...

Re: Iona.
I think Karakas is the only realistic option, although I currently have Noetic Scales in my sideboard. Haven't been able to put the thing to good use though, since I'm not playing Quinn...

I think one of the major upsides of the scrying sheets draw-engine that you guys forgot to mention is that it effectively doesn't use any cards slots. Top is a very good card on its own (best card in...

Well, you're playing basically the same list as I am, so it shouldn't surprise you that I thoroughly approve :). So I guess someone else with a little less bias should comment. The only think I'd...

My experience with landstill is that it all depends on the list they're playing, and the amount of boardcontrol they play/see. For example, if they're playing a basic UWb version, then your main...

I like the list, although I would personally never play this deck without any sort of combo-finish - it's those few extra "free wins" that really push your percentages to a level where I would feel...

I like it. Good luck and less us know how your tournament went.

Allright, so I promised you guys a big fat report about my adventures in Madrid. Here's the report you've all been waiting for - well, at least some of you have. I hope. Right? Anyone?

Sideboard looks solid, although including a one-off Karmic Justice to fight through Staxx/Poxx/Rock-ish matches can be useful as well. What I would DEFINATELY consider is splitting your 3...

It's definetely a great card, but since you can't tutor for it, you would need to devote 2-3 slots in the maindeck for it. I have trouble finding the space for that, since I consider most of the...

Last updates on recent Quinn-results:
- A teammate of mine started playing Quinn about a month ago. He managed to reach the finals (split) of a 40-player GPT last saturday, earning him 3 byes and a...

I would put thunderstaff in the sideboard and play an extra Runed Halo instead. Against aggro-control decks, it takes a significant part of their windconditions offline. and it's obviously superb...

I guess it all depends on the situation. Against goblins, fore example, using Chant as a Time Walk is often a necessity in order to get to turn 4/5 where your WoGs/Moat/Humility/Story Circle takes...
