This is the same conclusion I came to during my run with the deck a month ago. All they need to resolve is Vial or play Caverns and all the spot removal in the world won't help you after that. EE...

EPlague is also quite good against the last of the Maverick players (Human), Elves, and halfway decent against Dredge (Illusion, Horror, Zombie). It's a card that European decklists have had for...
I don't think I'm concerned with control mirrors (a resolved Deed > Miracles).
I'm concerned about decks where going long is going to be a liability (combo, burn/speed aggro). Against those decks,...
It's been mentioned before (maybe catmint championed it), that running Tarmogoyf in the SB to add a clock in matchups where a clock is needed (Combo/Burn) might be the way to go. I continually find...
I can get behind this as well. Being able to nuke Vial as early as turn 2 helps a ton more than having the flexibility to sweep the entire board after Turn 4.
Looks like I lucked out on some...
The experience you're describing is called variance. Cascade has a high degree of variance. Unless you take the extra time/mana to setup the Cascade, you're going to run into those weird "oops I...
That looks about right.
Against Affinity, I won G1 with Deed, then lost G2 to Tezzeret, then G3 I was on the backpedal with only 2-3 lands the whole time and playing for a draw. Turn 4 of time, he...
I took this list to a local event (17 people) and did pretty well with it for the first time.
Round 1 - (W) Elves (Deed/Perish ftw)
Round 2 - (L) Affinity - boarded out counters, then lost to...
How does a typical game with the Snap-Deed build go against Stoneblade variants? It seems like if SFM resolves for Batterskull the deck might have a difficult time controlling the board.
EE is sometimes faster than Deed against a lot of decks. It also lends itself to recursion with Academy Ruins/Loam/Intuition.
I think this deck needs 1-2 Ponder/Preordain, both for consistency, and to pump Goyf. Getting Goyf to become 4/5 is a big concern to be able to win races. I'd also try to fit in another Liliana in...
I think EE and Academy Ruins would both be very good additions. EE really reams Maverick and most Tempo builds right now. Having the recursion also helps to reload in the mid-game, and opens up...
This might be more cute than good:
Intuition piles:
1)
Academy Ruins
Life from the Loam
EE
2)
I think a combination of Virtue's Ruin and Perish are warranted. The White creature are now as much annoying as the Green creatures. Being able to kill Mom, SFM, Knights, Pridemage, and the...
I don't think that the audience for Levin's article is people who frequent The Source; but rather people who casually observe Legacy from the other formats and wish to dabble here and there with last...
Lightning Bolt in general.
I like the approach (and have been thinking along the same lines, Deed > Maverick), but I can't get behind the heavy lean on Liliana during a stale board presence without also including Life from the...
