I think with Archon vs. Sigil, you have to decide what you're going to encounter more often: Swords to Plowshares or Force of Vigor. Prismatic Ending can easily cover 0-3 CMC. The 4c control decks...

What problems does this card solve?

Just want to add to this. Fetchlands are useful for many reasons. I'm much more conservative in my color splashes than most of the folks in this thread -- I tend to stick to almost mono-green -- but...

It's Enchantress. Feel free to be radical.

This is a crutch. If you are judicious with your Green Sun's Zeniths and your number of Enchantress effects in play, you can simply recycle the Zeniths. Also, if you really wanted to, you could draw...

Well, I'm not sure what you want, since you know from past posts here that most of the players consider Living Wish a weak option. Your "points in favor" section basically restates the reasons why...

Goblins is a cakewalk if you have Elephant Grass. The only time Goblins is scary is if you have a land-light hand on the draw and they have Aether Vial and a Rishadan Port or two. If you're...

Savage. I do hope you mean that he Brainstormed, not Pondered, there.

Also, how can you play the same opponent two rounds in a row at an FNM? Doesn't DCI Reporter prevent that type of pairing...

Absolutely. It all depends on how you choose to build the deck. I've won 15-20 dual lands with this deck over the years, and I used only basic lands to do it. If you play all basics, you should...

Incidentally, Rest in Peace is decent in that matchup, since it prevents Omni-Tell from reusing the same bounce spell.

I'm tempted to say your Omni-Tell opponents weren't very skilled, but if that works for you, then no need to stop. Free wins are free wins.

The Omni-Tell matchup is usually quite poor, and I...

Humility is the best card vs. Sneak and Show, but it doesn't do anything vs. Omni-Tell. When I expect Sneak and Show, Humility is in my board, usually as a two-of.

One big disadvantage of Commune...

Huh?

Presumably you're running Rest in Peace if you're running Helm, which means you won't have a graveyard. I suppose you could cast them in reverse order, but if you're holding back your Rest...

What was the disagreement over?

You know, you can chain back Chain of Vapor at his Griselbrand ...

But, yeah, if Reanimator is hardcasting creatures, then the game has gone to a strange place.

Smurphy, I play paper only, no MTGO, so the lists you're facing probably vary from what I've faced in the past. I haven't ever seen Reanimator running Laboratory Maniac, for instance (frankly, it...

Why only three Argothian Enchantress? If it were legal to play eight, I would play eight.

I wouldn't worry about Jund. The downside to an increased Jund presence, though, is that it leads to combo decks (mainly storm combo and SNT) moving in to prey on Jund, and that's a problem for...

It's worth noting that if you have City of Solitude out, you can't tutor with your Sterling Grove in response to removal.

Recent experiments:

I tested Rest in Peace and Helm of Obedience as a...

"BG decks" is pretty broad.

If the deck is focused on stripping your hand, like Pox, I feel the most important card is Mirri's Guile. Pox runs both players out of cards in hand and often leaves...

If you have read the thread before, don't worry about going over it again. I noticed you were new, so I assumed you might be unaware of that other thread.

I ran Energy Field in the sideboard for...

OK, first of all, since you are new to The Source, I'll point out that this thread is for the established build, hence being in the Established Decks section. If you want to discuss three-color...

I like RIP a lot as a card, but I don't agree with your statement. The card improves the Reanimator matchup and the Dredge matchup, and that's pretty much all. RUG's most dangerous weapon is Delver...

Porphyry Nodes and Drop of Honey kill your enchantresses, so it seems inadvisable. Shroud creatures can't preserve them anymore. That used to work years ago. If it still worked, I would play these...

If you found the deck unplayable, you didn't adapt. I'm all for ramp, though.



Reverent Silence is barely played. Karmic Justice is mainly to answer Engineered Explosives and Pernicious Deed.
