Alright, I'm gonna try and keep some structure in this post, otherwise it'll probably be a single very long paragraph of my ramblings that don't help anyone ^^ As always, just opinions. I'm not...
Haven't posted here for way too long...mainly due to having exams.
Sadly didn't make it to Stockholm. I did play at MKM Paris, was 6-1 but lost the last 2 rounds unfortunately. Don't remember all...
MD Peacekeeper is perfectly reasonable, obviously meta dependant as you mentioned. I agree it's fine against a large part of the field.
Never really thought of the Meren+Peacekeeper soft lock,...
While Pontiff is obviously amazing, DnT is still a fine matchup without. Really depends on the skill on both sides...and obviously sometimes they'll have draws that line up with your draws in a way...
I feel like TNN and Atraxa are just better cards to have in similar roles to Phantom Nantuko and Jenara.
Tradewind is ok against Delver...it has 4 toughness which helps a lot. It also costs 4...
I agree with your points on Prelate and Teeg.
I had some amount of issue with Prelate prior to the DRS ban, since there were a lot of 3-4c control decks with removal spells at CMC 1, 2 and 3...yet...
Hi Kanti, thanks for posting :)
What you describe as the core of the deck seems fairly accurate. I'd probably leave up even more flex slots, something like
16 lands
Arbor
5 dorks
3 GSZ
4 Vial...
Re: Artisan/Retainers:
Here's what it actually takes to pull this off in a game: You need to draw Fauna Shaman, resolve it, untap with it and activate it TWICE to get first Iona (or whatever), then...
Thanks guys, always happy to report on my tournaments :)
Yeah, those were links to timestamps of a twitch video, unfortunately twitch only keeps vods for a limited amount of time (a month i...
more match reports :)
played a local tournament on Sunday, sadly didn't top8 so list isn't gonna be on mtgtop8 again, which sucks because my last one has fallen out of last 2 months now ;)
Was...
Saw the video too. Tbh he actually played quite well considering he's never piloted the deck before.
He also makes a point about needing to interact on T1 or play some degenerate combo yourself. I...
Hi Taramawn, excellent to see you around, thanks for posting your experiences here :)
First off I hope you had fun and won't get too disheartened by the results, pettdan is absolutely right when...
@Memories of the Time: Those changes look very reasonable. I'm a strong advocate of Orzhov Pontiff as I think the card is amazing. Both my friends who day2-ed Birmingham with D&T were playing MD...
Hello again
Another outing with the deck at GP Birmingham. Went 5-3 so unfortunately didn't make day 2. No Byes. Don't remember too much about the games as it is a while ago so I'll just post the...
List is now on mtgtop8 for reference: http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=18893&d=318344&f=LE
@DireLemming: Aether Vial produces a lot of tempo. Playing mana dorks also helps. Plus if we're talking about...
Had another good result with the deck last Saturday, playing at a local 78 player Legacy tournament and going 5-1-1 into top8. Lost in Quarterfinals.
...
@Memories of the Time: Here are my opinions on the cards you mentioned, obviously we're talking about the flexible singleton slots here so these will always depend on the metagame you anticipate and...
Czech Pile doesn't actually play that much removal...usually something like 1 Decay, 1 Edict, 2 Push, 1 Bolt, 2 Kolaghans...and 3 Snap...we have a good amount of things they have to kill immediately...
Played the deck at MKM Rome this weekend, made top16 of the main event going 6-2 and it was incredibly enjoyable to play as always :)
Decklist:
1 Dryad Arbor
3 Birds of Paradise
2 Deathrite...
@Memories of the Time: I've tried SFM and I hate it. It's really, really awkward with only one equipment in the deck. You can also make an argument to remove the Jitte without ways to tutor it up and...
Hello, long time lurker from the old thread here posting for the first time...
First of, massive thanks for the time and effort put into this primer, it's excellent work.
I've been playing the...
