I'm 100% sure that lotus petal is just better. It always gives us the colors we want, does the same thing to give us explosive t1 plays on the draw, plays well with tidesprout, plays well off of...

My inclination is that LDV would be great in a slower local meta, but that the amount of UR around means LDV might be a little slow at the moment. I'm going to be testing some things in that 9th...

It really depends on your configuration and SB, but without looking at specifics I can give you a few tips.

Always trade out a SB Fatty for a MB fatty, unless you think you want to up your...

Interesting. Although slow, I think it should be close to GG against miracles. It definitely seems worth testing. I'll try to jam some rounds with it as well.

Does it get around graffdigger's cage?

What match-ups do you need help with boarding? I see you noted Miracle and Bug, IMO our two worst match-ups (also DnT), so I'll address those.

Since these are some tough match-ups, this is where I...

I run 15 lands with 8 fetch and a basic swamp and it has been totally fine for ad. I like ad more as you can cast it turn two, but you don't want to be too land light with ee either because you need...

Abrupt decay is much better than serenity for us imo. Also, engineered explosives seems better.

Im also wondering, for those or you packing sb counterspells, what matches do you like to side them...

Regarding Hapless, I think he is better in meta with more DRS, i.e. Bug and Jund decks. I'm not sure if he is worth the slots currently, just my opinion.

Also, couldn't stinkweed imp be...

I just happened to hard cast Tidesprout once and it felt amazing :) but yeah it doesn't really happen.

On Jin, he is also likely GG against storm, which is worth considering. I know it is a pretty...

Had to respond to a couple things. Ponder is amazing in this deck, I have set up so many turn twos finding the second part of the combo, so I finally found room to up my count to 4.

Tidesprout is...

I agree on the tops. Against ANT I would almost never fight over it, but as I was somewhat unfamiliar with DDFT and did know that it is essential in a large amount of piles. However, considering we...

I played a solid tournament today and wanted to share my experience, as well as some ruminations on the MB and SB. I piloted the UBg version for 5 rounds, with a cut to top 8. We used the SCG play/...

With the decrease of waste and stifle, I think you could run 3 seas instead of cutting a fetch to make room for the trop. Another option would be to go to 15 lands and 3 petals.

Also I think 3 AD...

I really think you want 14 lands and 4 lotus petals, or 15 lands and 3 lotus petals, especially if you are running the green splash. I think that 14-3 will only work consistently in the UB list.

Though I usually don't play this version, I won a 50 man tournament earlier in the year with hapless instead of study, g probe over ponder, and cabal therapy over thoughtseize. Just figured I'd chime...

If you are expecting MUD, I'd use that 3cc blue card that bounces all artifacts-its name is eluding me.

Who said to do that? I was suggesting to add city instead of petal, or in addition to, depending on what deck you are playing against (presence of wasteland being the determining factor).

I play two show and tell md, and one in the side. I side in the third in 90% (not against show and tell decks) of matches. I usually take out a reanimate against drs decks, and exhume against the...

Alright, so here is the decklist that I am going to be testing out.
3 Grisel
1 Blazing Archon
1 Iona
1 Jin Gitaxias
1 Flex Creature
