Honestly, I was rather shocked to see MUD without Greaves. If it wasn't running Forgemaster, I could possibly understand, but even then, the boots are just so good for so many reasons. I think Karn...

I think that Welder MUD might become a bit better as Post MUD begins to appear on more peoples' radar (which it may well do after the decent showings at recent SCG events).

As for the merits of...

Death and Staxes? :wink:

I feel like this list seems a little disjointed. Specifically, I don't really see what Metalworker is helping accomplish other than casting Wurmcoil or Staff of Nin. Obviously, being able to make a...

I know it's a hotly contested card in the archetype, but I really think you need some number of Voltaic Key to be reliably explosive. You mention that you cut them in part because of Chalice, but...

I haven't tried out Batterskull in my MUD build yet, as I have a real love affair with Wurmcoil Engine and I like being able to use Cavern of Souls to potentially force through any of my creature...

It's kind of hard to say what the optimal sideboard choices are vs Delver (or anything else) if we don't know your maindeck. That being said, the one thing that most Delver decks have in common...

I agree with this, but I believe the list that is being discussed (see above) doesn't include Kuldotha Forgemaster.

I agree that Thran Dynamo is much more appealing in versions with Karn and All Is Dust. Most of my MUD experience is with the Red/Welder build.

Thran Dynamo is a card that I've really debated over. I agree that it acts as a psuedo Metalworker that dodges most removal, but as a 4cmc artifact, I had a hard time working it into the deck. You...

I've had the same experience with Sundering Titan, but I'm really glad to have it available when I have the green light to Forgemaster, but they're telegraphing Swords to Plowshares. While only...

From Gatherer rulings for Phyrexian Metamorph: 6/1/2011 - If Phyrexian Metamorph somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another permanent (due to Mass Polymorph or Liliana Vess's third...

Umm...Metamorph isn't really that good against Shown and Tell. Phyrexian Metamorph enters the battlefield as a copy of a creature or artifact already on the battlefied. As such, it cannot copy an...

Scales is a cool card, for sure. I just don't think there's room for it in MUD as we know it. The anti-synergy with Chalice is a real issue, and unlike Chalice, Scales does little to nothing against...

Culling Scales is rather slow and doesn't play well with Chalice of the Void (as it has a CMC of 0 on the battlefield), which is why I suspect it hasn't gotten any love in MUD yet. If it's a choice...

3sphere is one of those cards that you build your deck around. It is really powerful against most decks, so if you're going to play it, it's something that you want to see early in most games. As...

I think that Trinisphere is a solid maindeck card in non-Welder builds, but I don't think I'd run more than 3 main, as multiples are redundant.

I've played the Welder version of MUD exclusively so...

My current sideboard contains 1 Cloister and 1 Witchbane Orb. Cloister is mostly to combat discard or decks with a high density of counterspells. Witchbane Orb also fights discard, but it's has the...

I disagree with this evaluation of Cloister. 4 mana in a MUD deck is more like 2.5-3 mana in a normal deck. If your opponent Thoughtseizes you and sees Cloister, they either take your threat/prison...

Bottled Cloister seems pretty good against BUG. It blanks their discard, provides you with card advantage, and is invulnerable to abrupt decay.

This list took 7th at SCG Cleveland on 10/06/13 piloted by Stephen Seliskar. There are some things I like about it, but also some questions that I have. I've marked some of the card choices with...
