Copter is great for recovering from a wipe. You shouldn't overcommit into a wipe anyway and such have *something* left over in hand to start applying pressure immediately instead of having to wait a...

The issue I found with Chart was that there's a limit to how many 2-mana cards that don't advance the board you can get away with, and chalice pretty much uses all of those slots. It's super...

Kassari at 59th was on Merfolk

That effect already existed in Carry Away, and it was bad. Adding yet another way for flickerwisp to blow us out sky high is not where we want to be.

Pretty much just an MTGO price thing. I don't really want to get them now when EMA is coming down soon enough. Against miracles the factories are awesome and significantly better than wastelands. ...

spankyourmonkey: I've been extremely pleased with Warping Wail, so much so that I run 3 maindeck. It's so very flexible and all 3 modes (yes, even the scion) have been very very relevant.

Finn:...

Just saying, your brother crushes me every time with 4x swords 4x decay 3x lily and "nonsense" (like our favorite large beast with ridiculous upside). Can't win if my fishies just can't stick.

If you're on Esper and really want something for Eldrazi, I think the best thing is to take a page out of Shardless BUG's book and run some baleful strix. My shardless buddy says they're the MVP...

Mentor competes with TNN and Lingering Souls, and those align with our gameplan much better. We don't run 4 Sensei's Divining Top, so we can't do the double-top thing like Miracles does. What...

In my experience Nahiri is much better than Elspeth. I don't use either second ability much, but when I do recur an equipment it's always a huge blowout (people can't help but play differently when...

Uh, T1 cavern into vial is a totally reasonable thing..

As someone who didn't have much in the way of duals, I've definitely done the shockland thing. Of all the decks in competitive legacy, I feel that Stoneblade and Miracles are the most amenable to...

Against D&T, Counterspells are generally bad (though leaving in 2 forces is okayish), and cursecatchers barely has a text box.

So FANAttIC, what would you say is the best card in the deck? I can totally buy either Chalice or Cavern and amend my view to "PI is the best *creature* in the deck". I can't imagine (heh) PI not...

Phantasmal Image is the best card in the deck and if you're playing less than 3 you are doing it very very wrong. Yes, it is better than TNN. TNN is just TNN, but PI can be *anything*.

In the...

Unless your meta is such that you just can't dodge entrantress, I'd just ignore it. I wish I could have done the same with D&T, but if I did well I'd be nearly guaranteed to play against our...

Really the best thing against D&T is to just dodge it as best as you can. I used to play with the SCG kansas city champ a lot and tried basically everything against him. Dismember, echoing truth,...

Well, we have vials to instant-speed it, and at 3 mana it's late enough in the game that often you can just bounce anything and then win on the spot when you untap, with an extra body to boot. For a...

if it was 1UU I'd expect no less than a merfolk Aether Adept.

Something I've been trying out in my build the last few weeks is Muddle The Mixture. In the fair matchups it's mostly a tutor with...

It's really not that cut and dry anymore. We're actually the worst vial deck at using vial. Goblins has a nice steady stream of CA to keep vial busy (it's also the most crippled by not having a...

Yeesssss! I finally managed to 4-0 locally, though I did get real lucky with matchups. My deck:

Creatures(28)
4 cursecatcher
3 tidal warrior
4 silvergill adept
4 master of the pearl trident...

I don't think that comparison is really valid. DRS lategame often represents a 5-8 turn clock on his own (since the bins should have plenty of instant/sorcery by then), but an extra vial needs...

Yeah, I figure sygg is overall better, but puresight does have an advantage of having an extra power and its ability is an untap so it can be defensive too, and most importantly, not being legendary....

I've been looking through gatherer for unusual card advantage/quality options:

Ancestral Vision
- sooo slooow. I would hope we already won, but one of the reasons we want CA in the first place...
