I think if you don't have a second trop that misty is probably the best option, followed by verdant. Slightly worse against wasteland, slightly better in vaccuum.

Any data I have posted is very much pre wrenn. My recent lists with goyfs have performed much better against RUG delver, though it is still the worst delver matchup if they are playing traditional...
I don't really know if this is the list that "everyone" is on. But this is what I've been playing the last few weeks and it feels like a large chunk of the online meta is favorable, with the primary...
First, the deck is essentially required to play 3 or 4 green sources no matter what, so I believe splashing green is so free and easy that it is a mistake not to do so.
Second, as for the list. It...
- First, the deck is an absolute blast to play. Slow & grindy CA, recurring Fires, very few lopsided MUs, getting to play a lot of sexy cards (Notion Thief <3), fair and fun MtG. Great job pals for...
I've played north of a hundred matches since the London Mulligan hit MTGO. Chalice is still not that common (anecdotal, I know). The decks that "abuse" the London Mulligan best might get a slight...
Congratulations to Edgar on top 8ing GP Niagara falls with the deck!
I'm working on a video primer, it can be found here:

Because I am not playing any basic forests, I am not super interested in playing misty and wooded foothills as my fetches.
I think without 2 Volc + 1 badlands, you probably need to play 22 lands.
4 Delta
3 Tarn
1 Mire
3 Sea
2 Island
1 Volc
1 Swamp
I think if you're playing 3-4 TNN and 3 Dack, you're good. However, you could also play something like young pyromancer as a pseudo-3 drop that doesn't actually glut your 3 slot.
When I played a RUG version of the deck I was particularly happy with the green two drops, I think I would want to play a scavenging ooze as well as some number of tarmogoyf in a list like this.
I...
I found a convenient way to compile most of my data from playing this deck from some time in December. This picture contains the results of several hundred matches. I think that we can only get...
I'm glad you had fun at your tournament.
I'll agree that the burn matchup is basically unwinnable. If you are walking into a room full of burn and cloudpost the deck needs a serious overhaul, it's...
I've played a RUG list before, my experience was that you need to be a faster deck than versions with black because you have serious problems dealing with TNN and Marit Lage. As such, when I played...
It's not literal, I just mean that it forces them to attack twice with marit lage.
Hi PotatoSol, good luck in your event. To answer your questions:
Q: Can you explain why you don't run Engineered Explosives over say Pernicious Deed?
A: Pernicious deed is a much more powerful...
I've felt in a lot of my games, I always want at least one free effect, and hands that have enough that the card disadvantage is a problem are probably too light on combo elements anyways and will be...
I used to play baleful strix as a sideboard card a long time ago and liked it a lot, I think it's definitely worth testing. As for pack rat, I think that even though cryptbreaker is a weaker card,...
I'm sure a build of this deck could exist that wants to play mox diamond, but as is, the deck just doesn't play enough lands to support it. As for chalice, I also see a world where this deck plays...
I guess this is where we differ.
You see
"All the 'I won because something cool happened' stuff loses to 'I won because I'm a serious player slinging serious cards and playing serious games'."...
Congratulations on your finish! well done!
How was the Rise//Fall with so few creatures? I am looking for an excuse to play with them again, I haven't been able to swing it since the ban though.
I don't really understand the hatred for blue in a vacuum. I don't see how any color's dominance could a huge problem from a gameplay standpoint.
One might argue that with the limited print run of...
I don't think that Gurmag clocking combo is a real thing for this deck, it's obviously good, but not so good that I would want to play it for that reason. I think that with the retooled mana base...
Since you're on 1 TNN and 3 Leo, have you considered 4 BoP + X Hierarch as opposed to 4 Hierarch + X BoP? I think that this deck getting it's mana right is probably going to be a bit more powerful...
I played the following list to a 3-3 (plus a bye) finish in the challenge today. I wasn't happy with the result exactly, but I was VERY happy with how the deck played. I lost to Eldrazi post, which...
