I really like it against sneak. Sure, we're not favored with it or anything, but it can slow them down a turn or two and forces them to rely on sneak attack more, so I am a big fan of it. Vs sneak...

I have a split of Crop Rotations, one MD and one in the SB.
I like Packmaster as a one card option to transition to a more midrange gameplan. Scooze is good at that, and has applications against...
My current list and SB plan for anyone interested.
Main 60
28 Creatures
2 Birchlore Rangers
4 Deathrite Shaman
3 Heritage Druid
3 Nettle Sentinel
4 Quirion Ranger
4 Wirewood Symbiote
Driven/Despair is better at grinding than NO- if you're exoecting a lot of fair blue decks it helps recover from spot removal or discard well. It's a little slower than NO, and doesn't give you any...
Top 8'd a 2.5k with the following take on Driven/Despair elves. Combined a few ideas- the crop rotation package I often use, Driven/Despair as an engine, and Julian's older chaos lists. List was a...
He knows we're aware that they sideboard in hatebears like containment priest/staticaster/etc and that we react by bringing in abrupt decay. It's not as black and white as from our side:
He could...
The biggest problem with the package, like you said, is the space it takes up- 1 MD slot for a rotation, and 4 for rotation & the lands (I don't think it's worth it without karakas bog AND...
Rounds 1&2- byes
Round 3- BUG Delver- Got a quick game one. He hit me with a mess of sideboard cards (Plague and Deluge both games) during games two and three. He was running 2 True-Name and 2...
From my testing-
Food Chain is very good for us. Think shardless/aluren, but their combo is abrupt decayable, sorcery speed, and they run 2-4 walking ballista, which is pretty good against us- not...
These last two are huge. If they are making a marit leige token early they will typically be using all of their resources to do so- this will give us a one turn window to go balls-to-the-wall and...
Won a GPT today. List was 4 NO, a 3/2 heritage birchlore split. SB was:
1 Scavenging Ooze
1 Reclamation Sage
1 Progenitus
3 Cabal Therapy
2 Surgical Extraction
3 Thoughtseize
4 Abrupt Decay

Love it. Being the best deathrite deck is huge in the current metagame.
Kind of an unrelated question- I jammed about 10 or so games with Bob to get him ready for your LPL match (which didn't help...
Yeah, I'm currently off Leovold and Packmaster in the 75. Both are very good VS shardless, and if I had more of the "middle ground" I would lean on it further- I'm more prioritizing value glimpses...
Midrange BGx decks that play like shardless (non-delver, I typically board like this for BUg TNN), especially ones with Leovold, are matchups where you want to bring in Progenitus and resolve a...
Elves won the legacy challenge with a pretty spicy list, running Ruric Thar SB alongside a maindeck Taiga. If he's on here, nice job! Ruric has always been right on the edge of playability and was a...
I may be a little more conservative than I need to be, but I would keep in Reclamation Sage. I've faced down my fair share of Grixis players with Jittes in the 75, as well as pithing...
Thoughts on how we sideboard against The Epic Storm compared to ANT? Our GY hate isn't as impactful and I'm finding it a little more difficult as well because their fundamental combo turn is usually...
Played Julian's MKM list (-1 surgical +1 rec sage, just because I only own two surgicala) through about fifty or so matches over the past week, won probably 75%+ of them. List felt really good- the...
I prefer Heath/Foothills for aesthetic reasons in paper. It has never mattered that I haven't had a 2-2-2-2 split over the four or so years I've been playing the deck. It's more likely to be the...
To me it always depends on how I'm expecting them to sideboard against us. Most of the delver lists bring in like ~2 invasive surgeries, in which case I like having natural order to both play around...
I'm testing a little bit of spice here and there, but if Vegas were this weekend if probably switch a Progenitus in for Nissa and just run it back- maybe a 2nd Reclamation Sage over the fourth...
My initial thoughts- I will be moving back to a 1 Cavern 1 Pendelhaven land base, scavenging ooze will probably be my MD flex spot over Nissa/Leo/WRP. Chalice is still an issue.
I'll probably...
Congrats on the solid finish, I really appreciate the work you put in.
The play VS. GB Hexdepths is very interesting. Against many of the format's faster combo decks, we are forced into being more...
Agreed- and it's one of the things that we all love about legacy- at GPs, I've played the gate, goblins, and enchantress all in the X-1 bracket. While I do understand the need to have a plan for both...
Personally, I love having access to NO against the 4-C/BUG builds with Leovold. Sure, it's a little worse against their countermagic, but the soft countermagic they bring to the table can be...
