Aminatou just doesn't seem powerful enough to me. I think thoughtseize and deluge are the main reasons for Esper. I've been leaning this direction because the red blasts have been close to worthless...

Has anyone tried a lantern lock approach with manipulating the drawstep being the 'wincon' itself? Perhaps the lantern core is just too many cards to slot in.

Yea that makes sense. I like the EEs in theory. I always want answers to non creature permanents, but Council's Judgement feels so clunky.

For the predict lists with Engineered Explosives, has anyone considered/tested a 1 of academy ruins? Maybe it is too cute, but it seems powerful with the lock and the added bonus of resurrecting Tops.

That is a most beautiful monstrosity. Obviously this is metagamed for Eldrazi, but would there be major % point losses in other matchups?

A) Baneslayer used to see play in some sideboards, but it can be difficult to get to 5 mana, through wasteland/stifle or waste/port. Tempo then has daze to get through as well. One could very well be...

This is either an excellent troll, or a mix up of terminology. "Twice as many tops" seems to have referred to topping tournaments. I.e. like top 8, not referring to SDT.

Banning top seems like a big middle finger because it's one of the few, if not the only, good providers of card selection that can be used by any color.
Banning brainstorm has been beaten to death,...

This is definitely important. I played miracles at Somerset and always ended before 5 minutes left in the round (including a mirror match) because my opponents played at a good pace. Now granted I...

Gotta admit that Pendlehaven topdeck was a cool moment.

Honestly, I would consider
-1 Dismember
-1 Jace
+2 Murderous Cut.

I like the preordain idea, but I feel like this deck needs some more removal.

Has the combination of daze and Jace ever given you issues? I feel like with wasteland, stifle, rishadan port making a resurgence, setting yourself back land drops may make getting to 4 cmc difficult.

Hopefully I'll be there. Last one was a blast.

I really like the idea. I think that it would be good to narrow the focus a bit. I feel like the retreat/kotr combo is better in a deck that is more focused on executing that. That said I think cut...

It is uwr and it plays a delver tempo game. I can't see how it is anything else other than uwr delver. Swapping the white threat doesn't make it a new deck. Regardless, a grixis thread is not the...

This is definitely an interesting thought experiment. I feel like casting mentor is going to be really hard between your dazes and opposing wastelands. A jeskai version could run the full 4 copies of...

@chinEsE girl I think we sat next to each other in round 3 at that 72 person FNM a few weeks ago while you were playing my cuz Kyle. Anyways, on topic how have Tasigur and new Jace treated you? This...

The issue with these discussions is that some do not understand that Miracles in a form that remotely resembles its current concept ceases to be viable without SDT. It's literally the beating heart...

I think you need more basics. 1 plains is not always enough to reliably cast Council's Judgement or Entreat the Angels against Wasteland decks. I think 4 Underground seas is too many considering that...
