I've always thought having a back-up means of planting fatties in the yard and a back-up means of reanimating them was key this type of strategy. Have you considered running buried alive and/or...

One of the biggest complaints during Odyssey block was that the decks built themselves. The mechanics of the set were so linear, and the good card-combos so obvious, that any monkey could spot U/G...

ouch

Never said he was. I said Nassif was totally clueless about what to side-board, so he loaded it up with random one-ofs hoping that he'd have something for any given match-up.

LSV and Nassif are...

LSV builds his side-boards specifically for the expected metagame provided that he actually plans to play the deck. I bet he handed the deck-list to Nassif without a side-board.

Seriously? Brassman plays Legacy all the time; his board was planned. Nassif plays Legacy...never; his board was random good stuff. That's not a planned side-board, nor did he have a side-board...

It'll be, "I didn't test much, and I'm not really that familiar with Legacy, so I just threw a sideboard together and crossed my fingers." Nassif is just a really good player that was able to...

It was also in Portal. (minor nit pick)

Captain I think you're getting bent out of shape over nothing. The core of Doran Rock when it saw extensive play in Extended was discard (thoughtseize, Cabal Therapy), board control (smother,...

In its day morphling was pretty awesome, but since then WotC has realized that good creatures are not as dangerous as they once perceived them to be. No matter how cool it was to attack with a 6/1,...

I totally agree. The rock doesn't win fast enough to make the life-loss of confidant a non-issue (like zoo or combo decks), and doing large amounts of damage to yourself between fetch-lands and...

Have you already forgotten about Esperzoa? That guy has potential as sea drake 5-8 in Faerie Stompy. Obviously, you'd have to skirt around the drawback, but you could always just bounce an artifact...

I have three suggestions.

1. Veteran's Armaments: counts as a soldier for enlistment officer, costs only 2 mana to play, and pumps your guys substantially.

2. Thoughtweft Trio: 5/5 first strike...

Yes. When objects come into to play from another zone, they are treated as new objects (barring phasing shenanigans). So we can astral slide morphed creatures and they return to play face up, we can...

Do you honestly buy that BS?

Constructed staples are the driving force behind the secondary market. They are the reason why stores crack packs for singles. Mythic rares have to be constructed...

I'm pretty sure that was the playtest text, not the text that made it to print in alpha.

How often can you goldfish a turn 1 kill with this?

Engine
4 Grim Tutor
4 Infernal Tutor
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Yawgmoth’s Will

Win Conditions

The restriction of brainstorm and ponder makes it more difficult than it's been in years to actually dig up your YawgWin. I think it's safe, and it will probably remain safe for some time to come. It...

To people unfamiliar with vintage, those one-ofs in the deck lists look random, but they really aren't.

Moxen + Lotus + Crypt + Sol Ring all serve virtually the same purpose; I like to tell...

Control Slaver will probably be the top dog. It already eats shop decks alive, and it can side-board ichorid hate in sufficient quantity to beat them too. Yes it loses brainstorm, but it can run...

Roddy is totally and completely correct. Plated is simultaneously more useful (harder to kill, better synergy with the 8 muscle/sinew plan, still good if you only see one, and a viable chump blocker)...

Why? Because he doesn't reliably have access to other colors after a blood moon resolves against him. Post moon, he has plenty o' red mana, so a red answer would be pretty sweet eh? Too bad there...

The question that needs to be answered about oversold is "is this better than genesis?" To some, extent, yes it is, but genesis requires only a single slot and can be tutored up and tossed into the...

If that's the total number of blue cards you're packing in a control deck (which I assume the list above is), then it's not enough for FoW. Control decks don't usually win in the first 4 turns, and...

Jaynel has his crap together. He's got a great foundation there. I'd still like to throw my 2 cents in too, if you don't mind. :smile:

You really should run 20-22 lands and the four gemhide...
