How has Ramunap Excavator been working for folks so far?
I haven't managed to get in ANY reps since a bit before HOU released, but am keeping my eyes open for a JP Foil of this (so far none to be...
Yes, Vengeant. Sorry for the delay!
Also, it may be worth checking out this report from a BUG Loam/Lands player. He made top 16, and there are pieces / parts here which we have seen crop up with...
Scrubbed out against a pair of UW Stoneblade decks after an interesting UB Eldrazi build pushed me into the draw bracket.
Things didn't go well for me, but I am now firmly in the Ajani camp after...
Best of luck to everyone at the GP today!
Good video here of Bonde playing Loam in the Legacy Premier League with an interesting build of Loam: https://youtu.be/okCZtJz7yTk
4 Fires main
26 lands, no Pit
Library in board
No grave hate

Just dropping in my results / thoughts from the GPCOL weekend.
- I ran a list w/ 1x Deathrite, 2x Library, DD/Stage, 3 Lili
- Board was standard core and: 3x Leyline, 1 Thalia, 1 Priest, 1...
Not that my thoughts lend credence to anything, but I have been considering Steppe. This entire line of thinking is attractive to me, although I can't see dramatically altering my GP list this late...
What are you cutting for these? What match-ups do you expect this to thrive in?
Not being argumentative, and would love to do the same, but it hasn't appeared to be worth a cut from our 60 for...
How did it play out?
I'd be likely to lead with Arbor, personally. If left unchecked, it still leads to T2 Bob / T3 Liliana.
- If you let it sit in your hand, it slows down Liliana until T4...
Point well taken, and yes, I absolutely took what you said to heart, and dropped in a Pyroclasm (testing) from the continued discussion here.
I'm mostly thinking about RUG delver for some reason,...
That is my take as well. I'm looking at the following board, and working through my plans against it:
1x Chandra, Flamecaller
1x Garruk Relentless
1x Reclamation Sage
1x Golgari Charm
1x...
Looking at your current sideboard, and super curious as to your board plan.
1x Choke
2x Dread of Night (Is this just against D&T?)
1x Maelstrom Pulse
1x Meren of Clan Nel Toth (I've asked...
Maybe I've been fortunate against Lands, but I've found the combination of Chalice and Leyline is generally enough to put the match firmly in our favor unless they are on the recent Jund build...
I see what you and apocalyps6 are saying. I may have been overvaluing the option to Lage against D&T. Glad I asked! Should have noticed that my own wins were of the "grind em out" variety...
Curious about your statements regarding the D&T match-up. I've only played it a few times, and was fortunate enough to get to PFires / Decays in a timely fashion. However, Is Chalice something you...
Does anyone actively stream with this deck? I've been having AWFUL results in Leagues with a fairly standard build. It feels as though I'm either mulliganing incorectly, or I'm just completely...
Got in a league match with it last night against Nic Fit. Took it down in two long games in spite of my rust and awful MODO F4/6 chops.
A little nervous about the Eldrazi Stompy matchup, but time...
Main deck was essentially the same as above (Thespian's Stage / Dark Depths).
Worst beating was dealing 10 to myself with Bob flips (2x Liliana / Abrupt Decay / Punishing Fire killed me), leaving...
Played against Chase in Round 6 with 73/75 cards that you did, and went down 1-2. Had him G3 with T0 Leyline of the Void, T1 Chalice on 1, and proceeded to durdle without pressure until he recovered...
