    +1 Goyf -1 Inferior-Non-Goyf-Card makes your deck better. There's a reason 99% of the decks in Legacy run it.

    Re: [Budget] Thresh

    I recommend testing Mental Note. It helps your creatures reach Threshold faster so they can start blocking opposing attackers. MN can also discard two unwanted cards returned by Brainstorm.

    Re: [Budget] Thresh

    Really good advice, especially since you're on a budget.


    To repeat, test first, then buy. A basic land with "Black Lotus" written in marker ink is a lot cheaper than the real thing. I'd also...

    If your opponent doesn't attack with Confidant, because of your Fanatic, someone's making a mistake. Think about it.

    I thought about this, and I agree. There's enough shuffle effects in the deck to support it. Maybe -1 CB -1 Enforcer -2 Serum Visions +4 Brainstorm.

    Re: [DTW] Dragon Stompy

    There's nothing aggro about Chalice or Blood Moon. This deck plays Magus, a 2/2 for 3, when bigger aggro creatures are available at the same mana cost or less. Maybe there's something more than aggro...

    Your discussion about consistency vs power is interesting, but it wasn't my point. My point is that Seething Song and Street Wraith aren't in the deck to help with mulligan decisions. Neither card...

    In my build, Street Wraith replaced Seething Song, which doesn't really help with mulligans either. Notice Taco wrote "consistency that Song can't provide".

    Re: [Deck] Eva Green - B/g suicide

    I vote none of the above. It still seems strange to have a narrow card like Seal in the maindeck. In Nitewolf's tournament report, I noticed that he sided out Seal in 6 of the 7 matches played. There...

    Re: [Deck] Eva Green - B/g suicide

    How about Duress instead of Seal of Primordium? Duress hits artifacts/enchantments like Seal. Duress is cheaper therefore faster and gives you more Turn 1 plays. Improves your combo matchup and takes...

    I disagree. I think two best creatures for Burn are Keldon Marauders and Tarmogoyf (if you're willing to splash green).

    Keldon Marauders is basically a burn spell in disguise. 2 burn damage plus...

    Re: [DTW] Burn

    12 cyclers allow you to play a 48 card deck. This basically turns all the 4ofs in your deck into 5ofs. The primary drawback of cyclers is the delayed draw (Baubles) and life loss (Wraith).
