Agreed Viridian is probably just better, however this is never completely dead, at worse it cantrips.





What changed your mind and made you go from 1 Ponder to 4?
A few weeks ago, I...

Thoughts on this?
It looks like something we could play as a 1-of MD to answer Jitte/Chalice/Strix while bringing very little...

I'm glad you liked the list :)

FYI, I've been working on the SB a bit, mainly because I want to cut white completely to increase the stability of the list even further. Spellskite will definitely...

Thanks, I appreciate it! I've been following your lists for a while now. I even tried your Impulse over Ponder, as I understand your list is focused on playing everything instant speed (which is...

-Sideboard: my core is usually
3 Krosan Grip
1 Rest In Peace
1 Null Rod
2 Absolute Law
2 Meddling Mage
2 Surgical Extraction
The rest varies quite a lot depending on what I expect and what I...

And in 2015:
Rug Delver 2-1
MUD 2-1
Affinity 2-0
Esperblade 0-2
Tinfins 2-0
Deathblade 2-0
Miracles ID
Infect 2-1
Miracles 2-1

That's me :)
I've been playing 4 Ponder for a couple of years now. I won that event last year too.

MUs were:
Painter 2-0
DnT 2-0
Eldrazi 2-1
Shardless wCB 0-2
Lands 2-1
Eldrazi 2-1

Discussions in this thread are becoming very interesting :)

1. On Spellskite:

I've had similar experience with Spellskite. The main problem is that it is a slow card and while it shuts down one...

Just to be clear, I'm not questioning the fact that surgical is a good card, I just disagree in the way you use it in some MU :)
I think bringing it vs RUG adds variance to your deck, which is not...

Imo it's a bit more subtle than this. Main reason to go after the bin-creature plan rather than the reanimation plan is that we can't really let careful study resolve. Because we can't let half the...

Thanks for the report and for feeding the this thread!

The bit I quoted doesn't make sense to me at all. Why would you side in Surgical against RUG? post-board they have multiple answers and...

Obvious troll is obvious.

I share the same feeling. I would also add: the lack of Ponders.

I'm surprised to see no mention of True-Name Nemesis in this article. Before the rise of TC/DTT and Omni, the merfolk was the reason why Strix started to see less play.

ha,
ha,
ha.

Is Cartesian (MODO) reading/posting on this thread?
I really like how he/she is developping his/her list on MODO (Fluster MD, more Ponders, less Probes), and would love to read his insight about the...

I wouldn't run NoSB and Strix in the same 60, but I found running Deluge and Strix together not being a problem as you don't really need Strix when you cast Deluge, and Strix gives you enough time to...

I'm trying with a 3rd Jace (Thief slot) and a 3rd Deluge (Nosb slot) MD instead of 2 Lilianas. The interaction between Jace and Deluge is quite nice too.

The problem is that it triggers quite a...

I agree with that. Also in several MUs, Liliana got worse since DTT as it gives the opp a way of getting two cards from hellbent (which is the reason why they were playing sensei top sometimes). As...

Your point is well taken, don't worry, and it may well be the correct way to approach these MUs. I was really just looking for a debate/discussion around this point, and you answered it clearly, so...

1. I don't buy that argument. It's not like goyf is your only beater. And again I compare it to vision, nothing else.

2. That's a good argument, makes your cascade more reliable.

3. If they...

I am not comparing Goyf to MM, but to the 3rd and 4th visions. I do think that keeping a couple of 3/4 is better than the 3rd and 4th visions. Goyf can be the reason you keep a hand you wouldn't have...

@LarsLeif/Lejay: I've played the same list quite a bit, and I don't understand the following SB tables

Infect:

-4 Goyf
-2 Jace
-2 Visions
-1 Liliana
-1 Forest
