The Relic definitely goes out. With Wrenn no longer pressuring decks full of X/1 creatures, I want to play more Wails which probably means cutting some number of TKS. A third Maze might be a good...

I played the following Cg list at Eternal Weekend, going 5-4 in the main event (excluding a bye) and 3-0 in a subsequent side event:
Maindeck:
4 Cloudpost, Glimmerpost
3 Thespian's Stage
2...
Regarding the one-sidedness of Cg matchups, if you look back in this thread at my tournament reports you'll see a lot of 2-0 wins. This is because there are a lot of matchups where the opponent can't...
I played in the main event at GP Atlanta with this Cg Karn/Golos list:
4 Cloudpost, 4 Glimmerpost, 3 Thespian's Stage, 2 Vesuva
7 Forest
2 Maze of Ith
1 Karakas, Eye of Ugin, Bojuka Bog,...

Some interesting numbers in the maindeck and card choices in the sideboard. Can we get a tournament report?
Personally I would prefer maindeck Krosan Grip for this purpose since it is better against Sneak Attack and counterspells. With 4 Wails and 3-4 Needles, however, you're already better equipped to...
Be wary of adding green cards. You'll have to also add more green sources to consistently cast them which cuts into the rest of the deck. Chalice on 1 is very bad, but I would play Ratchet...
I played in the large legacy event at SCG Con two weekends ago with the following Cg list:
4 Cloudpost, Glimmerpost, Vesuva
7 Forest
2 Blast Zone
1 Stage, Karakas, Bog, Eye, Chasm, Tabernacle...
The Primeval Titan versions of 12 Post lean much less on Candelabra or Tabernacle than the C/g (i.e. mostly colorless, some green) builds that have been having the most success lately. Basically...
I took the 8-Forest, 3-Wail version to FNM today, also swapping Promised End for Butcher of Truth. I faced Storm twice so it was a bad week to cut a Wail. Not having Promised End to cast for 9 mana...
I'm the same way with Facebook so I'm not in the 12 Post group there. I wonder if there's a way to automatically assemble posts from Discord and FB and put them in a digest here.
I would not...
That was a good podcast. Thanks for the shout-outs.
I got some Mirri's Guile's a few days ago to see if they could be a Top replacement for GW builds. The plan is to swap 4 Tops from an old...
I would have suggested cutting a Warping Wail since TKS is also good against combo, but I knew how much you like 4x Wails. I agree with keeping From Beyond if at all possible.
Games like that are exactly why I put TKS in the sideboard and one of the many reasons I've stayed with Promised End. I view TKS as a tool for specific matchups rather than a general-purpose beater,...
I used to play Butcher of Truth when I started with one of your lists and was skeptical of Great Distortion as well. I'm not going back unless there's a Painter resurgence, which would be the only...
I asked a judge about it last weekend and it does revert to being a Mirror.
From Beyond stays in if you expect there to be long stretches of turns where neither player does much and/or you...
Never board out Wails against S&S. You can cut at least one Maze and the Chasm. If possible, try to keep an All is Dust (especially if you keep From Beyond) because games can often get to where they...
Made top 16 of a local event yesterday with the same list as before (http://www.starcitygames.com/decks/123970) but -2 Sphere of Resistance, +1 Trinisphere, +1 Elephant Grass in the sideboard. There...
Anyone watching the coverage of the SCG Open this weekend should pay attention when Jody Keith is on stream. He's playing a Cg list which is a card-for-card copy of my 75 from the classic and his...
If you're looking to stay with the colorless version then I think you want: http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?30579-BigEldrazi/
I'll be interested to know how From Beyond works...
I beat Shadow once during the Open then lost to a much better player in the Classic which are the only times I've played the matchup, so I don't have a solid opinion on it yet. Here's what I think...
****** SCG Baltimore Day 1 Report ******
Round 1: 2-1 vs. Grixis Delver
Game 1: He is on the play and leads on Preordain, then cantrips for two turns so I put Needle on Delta thinking he's...
Of course. I played in Day 1 of the Open too so I'll post a report for that event later. In the Classic I faced:
Matchups:
0-2 vs. Storm
2-0 vs. Grixis Control
2-0 vs. Burn
2-0 vs. Lands
2-0...
You're missing the point. I'm planning to keep Krosan Grips for blue decks and basically only considering Broken Bond for decks that play early Chalices or Blood Moons. In those situations the...
What are everyone's opinions on Broken Bond? It seems like it would be excellent against Stompy decks but worse than Krosan Grip against decks with counterspells. On the other hand, the blue decks...
