Wow, it's a 3/1? I thought it was a 2/1. That's interesting. I could definitely see it take some slots away from Serra Avenger. Perhaps I just like how aggressive it is.

yes, I saw this in a recent SCG deck. Pretty cool tech.
Yes it was obvious, but I thought maybe you'd feel left out if I didn't quote you.
Common guys. It was just a joke referencing Bryant's tournament report from last year (http://www.starcitygames.com/article/26497_Leaving-A-Legacy-Storming-To-Worchester.html) I thought that was the...
Armageddon works against control but is not as versatile as it doesn't remove other permanents. Cataclysm can even the battlefield (pun not in tended) by taking out multiple Angel tokens, a slew of...
Bryant is really weird sometimes. He sideboards Empty the Warren for Empty the Warren...
I agree. A subtle, yet defining, difference between the two decks is in rite of flame versus cabal ritual. We just have to wait for an uber secondary ritual to be printed so that both decks can adopt...
As a disclaimer, I have personally never had problems with shuffle effects with this deck.
The move is in response to dropping a color. I get that, but I would contend that it is a move towards a...
Prior to the drop of the Chrome Mox, Bryant was adamant that there be 4 Chrome Moxen. The inclusion of Gitaxian Probe soften that stance, but none the less, the move is clearly in the direction of...
Are you Caleb Calhoun or was the list developed by you? I've been playing your list before you posted it on here because I'm really intrigued at seeing Unmask back in Manaless Ichorid like the Type 1...
I think the difference dates back to before main decking EtW. The fact that Cabal Ritual needs Threshold, cutting of artifact mana (chrome mox) for lands and the lack of Tutors (half) all together...
Typically any deck that has access to removal, Xantid Swarm doesn't come in. This includes Umezawa's Jitte which will probably stay in if they are experienced players because Jitte with counters has...
Might be cool in Deadguy's Ale, but doesn't really fit in Death and Taxes. It will require too much from our mana base and doesn't disrupt the opponent enough.
I would go 3 in the main anyway. Mirran Crusader with Double Strike is just a beast. I don't think I'd go with 4 though. You'd just get flooded. A 3 drop is like a turn 5 at best because of Rishadan...
Thalia all day.
The only time Thalia is bad is against a green beat down deck like Mavericks or Vial Goblins. I think the Spirit is alright. She's mainly an anti-blue card, but I think Thalia is...
Blue decks make up more than half of the metagame.
Godsend is much worse than having protection from creatures. Creatures with abilities can still affect the equipped creature can still target...
Well, it's not a tier one deck, so I think there is always room for improvements. I'm not saying I'm an expert in the deck either. I'm just trying to get you to weigh in the advantages and...
In Death and Taxes, a 3 drop is a big investment, so they better have a big impact on the board when they come down. Other notable 3 drops in D&T include Mangara of Corondor, Flickerwisp, Brimaz,...
Quoted for truth. The people I play test with love floating FOW, Flusterstore or Mindbreak Trap on the top 3. This is pretty annoying to play against as they sit there and wait for their Sensei's...
Thank you for the clarification. That was what I inferred as well. If that is the case, then I can confidently say that I never use Mangara in that manner (perhaps this is wrong). I tend to use...
Please clarify. I'm confused about your instructions. So should I use it as single target removal or shouldn't?
My deck only runs 2x Mangara, but I'm getting more and more tempted it switch it to...
Sure.. against Sneak and Show maybe.. but control or tempo too?
You Pyroblast Cantrips? Then I was playing it wrong.. I will try this.
I supposed not... Playing Flusterstorm in a storm combo deck is just uncomfortable for me, but that's my own problem.
Thanks for context!
