I feel you man. i've for the most part stopped playing Legacy and switched to Premodern over a year ago. Premodern games have way more of the "magic" of MtG that got me hooked in the first place. I...
I'd sooner run a Living Wish package then. A bit slow but you get a lot of tools
Damn, those are some spicy brews. If nothing else material for Premodern.
Great find!

Looks like a straight upgrade of Rec Sage for W builds.
I was referring to some combination of FoW, Spell Pierce and Negate (I play a list similar to...
Or maybe Tradewinds weren't such a bad idea ...
There is good logic behind Stinner's (ie. original) version -- it has a bunch of cheap counterspells which help you develop in face of removal....
Oh man, this deck is a throwback to some of my favourite decks of long past. A card I think this deck could get a lot of mileage from is Repeal (tech from...

This just made UB somewhat more tempting still. Note that since it doesn't exile itself (unlike other wishes), it can safely be used before going off even as a...
Having big churn sucks for a company. If you add the fact that "geekdom" is becoming more and more main stream, that's really bad. Even more so when you consider...
A big downside to Balista is that you effectively need to go infinite for it to kill, while Tidespout (and theoretically even Emrakul) can be cast by chaining into it.
Isn't Kalastria Healer strictly better here? It works with Agent out of the box and as a bonus doesn't target.
The other pillar of (most) Nic fit is Pernicious Deed. It controls the board and helps you get rid of Explorer. We could go old school and run Rector (which already synergizes with the new Recruiter)...
A hilarious olds school Aluren/Elfs hybrid top8ed a SCG qualifier: http://www.tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=21238&iddeck=162648
WRP is significantly worse than Hermit. It doesn't work on an empty board, it's slower, doubly so if you can't spit out a wolf immediately (and if you have enough mana for that you are [almost] at...
1-of Deranged Hermit (in place of 1 Garruk) is hilarious and surprisingly good in testing as it does both power up Opposition and close games quickly if need be.
Other changes I've been liking is...
A cool piece of tech from http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?30812-Mono-Green-Food-Chain
Woodland Bellower enables any fatty from just FC & Empath. On its own the Bellower is nothing...
Library is surprisingly good in the storm matchup as it reads: "upkeep: draw 2" and after boarding they tend to be slower as they play more defensively.
Intuition is another strong contented for the DTT slot (getting 3 Griffons with and active DRS is disgusting).
@Arianrhod: that's the first time in a long time I'm excited about a Nic Fit built. One omission that immediately jumps at me is Glen Elendra Archmage. I'm also toying with Sylvan Library. It...
Eons ago there was Sun Tower: http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?5006-Primer-Sun-Tower-(RG-UbaStax)&highlight=Sun+Tower
To all the people trying to fit Ponder: try Sylvan Library. It's awesome with Hydra, it allows you to win out of nowhere, it reads 0: draw 2 against (non-storm) combo and is randomly all star in...

New toy, probably better than Hydra.
My point was we don't even need Emrakul. Hydras of arbitrary size with a hand full of counterspells against an empty board and a grip of lands is more than sufficient.
Why? Aren't you just substituting one dead card for another?
