I played in Most Excellent Games' Gaming for Gains 7 event. Here is a brief report.

1 Inkwell Leviathan
1 Chancellor of the Annex
1 Tidespout Tyrant
1 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
3 Griselbrand...

I'll ask him if he has a tournament report to share. The idea was I found Ponder to be unimpressive so I replaced it with the Izzet Charm/Preordain split. The 1-of Chancellor is there because the...

My buddy Michael Plummer just Top 8'd SCG Balt with my Grixis list.

I think Death and Taxes is our worst matchup, but I've jammed the matchup so many times I have a pretty good intuition about it.

- Make sure to have enough non-Legendary creatures post-board to...

I run UB reanimator and sometimes Grixis. I've been playing Chancellor of the Annex for years to good success. I'm pretty sure we want some number of them in the deck, but I'm almost positive we...

@Stryfo REB was a conscious descision so as to have diversity of card names against things like Cabal Therapy and Meddling Mage, but you're probably right. I don't think anyone is going go name...

The list I played at SCG Worcester (made day two, record of 9-6 overall)

4 Polluted Delta
3 Bloodstained Mire
2 Scalding Tarn
1 Island
1 Swamp
2 Underground Sea
1 Badlands
1 Volcanic Island

I play Grixis for Izzet Charm and maindeck Pyroblast and I really think we need to move away from Ponder. Our deck has such a high density of combo pieces (I have 11 ways to get a creature into the...

Did OK at SCG Worcester this weekend. Went 9-6 over all, 6-3 on day one and 3-3 on day two.

Played something similar to my usual UBr list.

My main take away from the event was that Stronghold...

I'm not a fan of Jin Gitaxias because your opponent gets an entire turn cycle to answer him. With Sire of Insanity, my opponent doesn't get to untap or draw a card before discarding their hand....

I think this attitude is part of the problem. I keep lots of 0 land hands. We're a combo deck with Lotus Petals, and we can discard a fatty to hand size.

To those having trouble with the Death and Taxes match, I recommend taking out all the Griselbrands. I think many players leave it in thinking "at least it will draw cards," but reanimating it only...

Went 4-0 at local legacy. That's a total of 7-1 in matches in two weeks.
Still playing the same list. I think it's just the best iteration of this deck.

R1 2-0 vs Mono-U Omni-Tell
R2 2-1 vs Burn...

I think players should be wary of running Gemstone Caverns. While it appears on the surface to do what Lotus Petal does, I think it is actually much weaker. You do not want to draw it when you draw 7...

Went 3-0-1 undefeated at local legacy tonight. ID in the finals.

4 Polluted Delta
2 Scalding Tarn
3 Bloodstained Mire
2 Underground Sea
1 Volcanic Island
1 Badlands
1 Swamp
1 Island

In the post Treasure Cruise banning meta, I'm shifting from straight UB to Grixis, which I had success with over a year ago. I think adding Izzet Charm to our lists will help kill things like Thalia...

I played Chancellor of the Annex in this deck for about 2 years. It's great in Petal/Daze builds, but lacks in the slower configurations. I found myself liking Grave Titan over it in the 2nd...

I also agree different players should pilot different lists.

I, for one, would not leave home without Thoughtseizes. I also think we shouldn't be too focused on going off turn 1. We are trying to...

Howishotgun, we run very similar lists. Generally speaking there are several cards that I consider to be "regular cuts," meaning they can be cut without diluting the combo too much. Those cards to me...

I have been testing with Treasure Cruise. Matchups tested against BUG Delver, Dredge, Death and Taxes so far. In the Daze/Lotus shell, I feel this card does not have a place. As others have said, it...

I played this deck for about 2 years without Jace, and it felt fine. After adding it several months ago, I would not play without it. Firstly, it only comes in when I'm bringing in City of Traitors...

Played another Legacy FNM with Reanimator. Went 4-0 last time, only 3-1 overall this time.

Round 1 vs Team America (Not ever going to call this deck Sultai Delver), 2-1
Game 1 I don't see any...

My LGS ran it's first Legacy FNM tonight (I know, my shop is awesome). I went 4-0 with Reanimator.

Played against 4C Loam (2-1), Affinity (2-0), Shardless BUG (2-0), and UR Delver (2-1), using a...

True it might lose percentage points in those matches, but I'm more likely to Entomb for Elesh Norn against Elves anyway, and Griselbrand usually handles burn.

I will agree with the necessity of Daze in this deck. I have played with and without Petal, and although I run 3, I wouldn't fault anyone for cutting it (for more lands, obviously).

I've been...
