Hmm... So, reanimator (only deck I know that has Iona), is just a bad matchup. Typically you want to stop or win before Iona, Shield of Emeria comes into play, there's not really a way to answer that...

I was wrong about Skewer the Critics. Tried it last night (4 Skewers), seems great. I'm trying out 3 Light up the Stage (LutS), I only drew 1, hit a bolt and land off of it. It didn't feel good or...
I don't think Legacy/Modern Burn really wants this. I like Rift Bolt over this still. Spectacle doesn't change timing restrictions, and there will be some "AH HA GOT YOU!" Moments, but I don't think...
It looks like since Yuriko came out on MTGO folks are playing UB Ninjas!

The stuff people are playing are definitely a lot more...
UB Ninja Tell
So... the goal of this deck is to use Omniscience, 2x Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn to take infinite turns until your opponent concedes, using Brainstorm...
Ended up getting 2nd at MBH LPS with UB Ninjas. I registered as "Yakisoba".
Main
17 Creatures
4 Baleful Strix
3 Snapcaster Mage
1 Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive
1 Vendilion Clique
1 Venser,...
I've been thinking that spellstutter ends up putting you a turn behind even on the play... I've been trying to cut it lately and I think I like it a bit more...

No.
I mean... In these slower matchups, how is it better than a card that does burny things? There's vortex, firecraft, etc.
Shadow Tiger Oni Blade?
New Ninja!?!?

I feel this new ninja will be pretty fun, and it brought me back to ninjas tonight at MBH Bellevue even though it's not...
EtW? Empty the Warrens?
Hmm... You shouldn't pack matchup specific cards in the mainboard unless those matchups make up the majority of your meta. A card in the main you should expect it to be...
Ok... so there's already a Sligh thread, but it hasn't been updated in recent times.
What is Sligh?
Sligh is an aggressive red deck that plays cheap creatures to quickly finish off opponents....
I haven't gotten a chance to try it (couldn't find it in foil...). I'll try to pick up some copies and try it out, I just feel it's a better late game card where we try not to go to the late game...
I think it's interesting. I've thought about running something closer to modern Burn in legacy, but just haven't gotten to it (I'm lazy... and Plateaus don't come in foil...).
I feel the meta...
Mulliganing... and Price of Progress
One where Lightning Bolt exists... /s but removal choice changs as meta shifts, both get hit by Fatal Push, Swords, etc. But only one of them dies to Bolt....
I play 3 in the sideboard.
I think in the main 1 or 2 is fine as well (in the past they've taken the slot of Sulfuric Vortex).
My caution is that in some matchups the card is a little too slow...
By Force isn't a good replacement for Shattering Spree in my opinion (if you even run Shattering Spree), the fact Spree has replicate, where By Force is just X targets, means one is easier to disrupt...
It depends on the matchup. Against Czech pile... maybe once. D&T a ton, Eldrazi a ton, Elves... until they hoof me. Miracles... maybe once to a ton. Delver variants 0-3 times. My favorite is against...
I'm actually trying a 3/3 split of Monastery Swiftspear and Grim Lavamancer. I feel swiftspear is still good, but I'm feel for fair matchups, we do want to be able to clear the board for Goblin Guide...
People brought this up on the LavaSpike sub reddit.
What match ups does it benefit? What spell does the opponent have that you're really after?
What are you taking out for it?
What's the...
Has anyone thought of just splashing blue for 4 Brainstorms? I think it feels bad with Eidolon of the Great Revel. But like, maybe take out Lava Spike for them? Or a mix of Lava Spike and Rift Bolt?...
It's definitely "viable", but you really want to side board for your expected meta. Reanimator is currently hiding and waiting for the meta to be too comfortable not expecting it (I'm told the chat...
I've gold-fished with it, but I haven't actually played it, I think I tried it once in pauper burn though just to make a point (I'm bias against the card).
I think it works better in a UR Delver...
It's not a bad option. The two biggest things against it are it's sorcery speed and Chancellor of the Annex. I think it's also the big reason we see Faerie Macabre and Leyline of the Void being the...
Yeah... I tend to just give up our really bad match ups. I'd rather improve all my other ones, especially with delver and miracles back on the rise and Czech Pile still being so popular. Reanimator...
