    And Cavern generally doesn't make the cut either.

    White-boardered Elves is hawt! How long did it take to alter those?

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Yeah, Jim Davis got inched out and landed in ninth. Not sure if that's whom you're referring to or if there were multiple X-1-1 players who didn't make it, but that's a brutal cut. The commentators...

    Wish I could say that was me. What a baller. Any idea how he finished?

    To the group: Isn't Energy Storm worse than Steely Resolve?

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    As a longtime BUG Delver player, I can say that I'll always opt to start with Turn 1 Shaman except in rare cases. Delver needs more setup in BUG than it does in RUG where you can just jam it and...

    Can we assume you won?




    In my experience testing against Miracles, Elves is rarely able to generate enough mana to GSZ for Craterhoof. Gaea's Cradle is not much better than a Forest -- and...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Surgical Extraction is better with discard, but it's still powerful in games where the Miracles player doesn't have a Sensei's Divining Top. In order to Terminus, the Miracles player either needs to...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    In my opinion, many people could stand to learn from Lemnear's firm words. They're certainly more useful than people babbling on about cards they misunderstand.

    Now, to bring things back to...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    I have played Terastodon before against Deathblade knowing that his postboard plan was a bunch of Supreme Verdicts. The nice thing about Natural Order is that there is no end to the targets. You...

    Decks that play Swords to Plowshares but not Terminus. I don't run Progenitus anymore, but he traditionally comes in against decks that can't interact with a huge hydra with protection. Death and...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    I would say it's because Glimpse is faster, double Glimpse generally allows you to draw your deck, and it requires fewer resources than Natural Order (you already need several dudes on the board in...

    Sylvan Library is generally going to be too slow in the mirror. Typically, whomever is on the play wins Game 1 (barring the other player having a faster hand). Postboard games add to that the...

    Vs. Pox: When you're on the play, try to Glimpse on T2 and dump out guys. Smallpox and other Edict effects are not very effective when you have a bunch of redundant bodies. On the draw, I would try...
