Still somewhat interested in the Ghent list.

No one has come up with rationale of 2 STP/2 PTE? I'm still trying to, as far as that goes. List looks pretty solid, and I followed some of his other...

Sorry, I was barely around Day 2 and we were pretty much gone by the afternoon. Congrats on getting to Day 2. Would love to see a report as well.

It isn't, as Take Possession has to target.

I talked with Drew before the event, but I'll respect the fact that they wanted to keep the decklist hidden.

There are 2 "UW Standstill" decks in the Top 8 of SCG Orlando.

List is here: http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/standard/21874_Deck_Tech_UW_Standstill_with_Gerry_Thompson.html

Not quite...

I agree, Counterbalance seems awful in this deck. Nice distribution of 1, 2, 3, and 4cc drops, making your flips inconsistent as all hell. That and most decks have gotten to the point where they deal...

I tried that once. Let me tell you, not a fun experience. Humility is a great card to have against that deck but it's too unstable of a way to deal with Progenitus. Why lists are not actually running...

I agree here, which I guess helps reiterate both of our points for this situation. If you happen to stuff your board full of (what I would think is the right quantity of) the following:

4...

I know that the Top 8 list this past weekend was BUG and not UWx. To be honest, I haven't seen UWx played at any event recently.

The list you came up with is interesting, but not interesting...

I feel like the noncreature stuff is the bigger problem... this deck has plenty of answers to creature based options.

I would run Spell Snare for a different reason, perhaps Survival being the...

The other thing I'd like to add is that it isn't necessarily a hard lock against anything, notice for example how Merfolk, Reanimator/SnT, and Dredge have access to bounce spells. Not sure about Bant...

3 Brainstorm can be played but only if your deck is highly redundant. I would probably not do it in your build. 2 SDT, 2 Wish are cards that help you set up and are not able for use immediately. I...

He JUST answered that question in the post above. Like, literally when you last asked the same question.

I do have a question for Felidae: how relevant has the one-of Glacial Fortress been? How...

SDT is great in the control mirror, but right now is it really warranted in the metagame? The problem with running SDT is that you need to devote 3-4 slots (no, the builds running 2 are not going to...

It had been a frustrating 2-3 months now playing Landstill. I am interested in seeing what you do with a UW Disk build; when we spoke briefly at the GP I mentioned that at my local before the event I...

It does seem like the UWx builds fell out of favor, especially with the UGB version gaining popularity via 5K's and the recent GP Top 8.

I took a UWb list to the GP and definitely regretted it,...

I would assume Planeswalkers and anything that is out of reach of Engineered Explosives...

I definitely agree that it was such a Russian Roulette experience. On one hand we had proxied up and tested most of the relevant matchups including of course Zoo, all Bant lists (NO-Pro, CounterTop,...

Deck is officially taken apart and put away. The MTG gods shit on my face this weekend, leaving me with an 0-3 drop, pretty sure I was close to the bottom 5% people out of 1,200+). My GP experience...

I hate drawing Humility #2, I really do. I've decided that it is more of a win condition than a control piece (correct me if you feel that I am wrong), and I have just one in my list.

In other...

It is my understanding that you save your spot removal for stuff like Goyfs, KotR, RWM, and save the Firespouts for something else. Post-board, popping a Relic of Progenitus helps you keep the former...

So GP Columbus will be 31 days from today. It will be my first GP, and event with more than 300 people, which is kind of nerve racking. I have been somewhat busy with school, so I haven't had any...

I played at the Meandeck Open today, with very low attendance due to neighboring GPTs (one in Cleveland, and one in Michigan). Only 15 players total, so 4 rounds of Swiss and cut to T4. I finished...

Yes, but do you need Jace, TMS to beat CounterTop, Zoo, or Merfolk? Like I said, he's good in the control mirror (that I agree will be on the rise in popularity), which is probably why I squeezed one...

This is the primary reason but also because you actually dig usually 10%+ into your library. Jace's 0 ability is great but honestly I'd rather have the pure CA right now. Jace is fine as a 1 or 2-of...

I just found a comfortable board to deal with Reanimator too. If it's still around, it might improve the matchup a little bit more, as it'll take longer for them to go off, giving me ample time to...
