    Re: [Deck] 43 Lands

    Creeping Tarpit does seem like a solid solution. I was trying out the Inkmoth Nexus + Kessig Wolfrun idea and it has been solid against everything BUT JTMS. I should have included a Creeping Tarpit...

    Re: [Deck] 43 Lands

    So, I played in a small, 11 person tournament on Saturday (January 7th) and pretty much got destroyed by two decks: a) Bant with Snapcaster + Surgical Extraction (though I definitely could have...

    Re: [Deck] 43 Lands

    My tournament results are essentially meaningless, as it was only four rounds, with 10 people, and the players weren't very strong (I faced Bant Tempo, Reanimator, Belcher, and Infect). Anyway, with...

    Re: [Deck] 43 Lands

    So, I decided to revive my Lands deck for a small tournament tonight and had a really interesting thought: why not replace Mishra's Factory with Inkmoth Nexus and Kessig Wolf Run? My ratio tonight...

    Re: Planeswalker Stax

    @mistercakes, what are the biggest problems against facing Bant? Is it the Quasali Pridemages? The shear threat density with counterspell backup and occasional stifle effects?

    Why not take a...

    Re: Planeswalker Stax

    Because this deck is about 110% permanents, a really good sideboard card in some matchups is Energy Field. Of course, it is anti-synergy with Smokestack and Wastelands, etc, but it stops aggro decks...

    Re: Planeswalker Stax

    Stax is just a derviative of the old Vintage Deck, "The Four Thousand Dollar Sollution", which turned into "$T4KS" (and eventually just Stax). Also, this deck is about as expensive as Dutch Stax (4x...

    Re: Planeswalker Stax

    Well done. I still haven't had any time to test or go to a tournament, sadly. I'm curious to read about what cards are your all-stars and which ones you just hate seeing. How are the Seat of...

    Re: Planeswalker Stax

    Congrats on the tourney and thanks for the short update.

    In what matchups do you plan to use the Tarmagoyfs? How useful is the Sylvan Libary?

    What cards in your maindeck or sideboard were your...

    Re: Planeswalker Stax

    I had eliminated the Smokestacks in the build in favor of The Abyss, but I have been testing against more aggressive decks recently. I'm trying to organize a playtest session with some of my friends...

    Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax

    Well, last night I played in a local legacy tournament in San Jose, CA and went 3-1 with the Grim Monolith build (because Crystal Ball wasn't legal until today):

    Main Deck
    4x Trinisphere
    4x...

    Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax

    Yeah, Lotus Petal does seem like a fine choice if you just want to do bonkers turn one plays, but you'd probably have to run 4x Serum Powder for maximum explosive potential, when Stax isn't really an...

    Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax

    I rarely untap the Grim Monolith, so yes, my core argument is that the deck needs just a little more acceleration. However, it does have the benefit of being an extra permanent that you can...
