  1. Re: 3/14 DHG Sunday Legacy! 1st-4th 4 duals each, 5th-12th 4 fetch each! Free Food =

    The top 8 was Tempo Thresh, UG Merfolk, Landstill, Belcher, Stax, UGB Countertop, and 2 UGW Countertop. Top 4 was Tempo Thresh, UGB Countertop, and both UGW Countertops. I don't know who made the...

    Re: [DTB] Zoo

    I've been running a 2/2 split between Crypt and Ravenous Trap. I don't want to spend mana on grave hate, since that slows me down in addition to slowing down my opponent. Crypt is a little bit better...

    I don't think he's planning on playing Phantasmagorian, I think he's talking about using Phantasmagorian to empty combo pieces that are stuck in his hand. It's an interesting idea, I guess, but it...

    Re: [DTB] Zoo

    So in other words, the only decks you would want the combo for would be decks running small creatures like Goblins, Merfolk, and maybe the mirror. Goblins and Merfolk are already really good...
  5. Re: [article]Interview with Matthew Bartlett about Bloodghast Dredge

    You still rely on making a land drop. Dredging 2 to get back a Dakmor Salvage seems pretty poor unless you really need to landfall your Bloodghasts. Ichorid, on the other hand, doesn't interfere with...
  6. Re: [article]Interview with Matthew Bartlett about Bloodghast Dredge

    I liked the article a lot. I wish he had explained in a little more detail why he thinks that Bloodghast is better than Ichorid. He describes it as "faster", which I assume to mean that it comes into...

    Re: [DTB] Zoo

    Knight has ranged from being a 2/2 to being a 6/6, but I've never gotten it bigger than that. I think that it can be better than Thoctar, but I'm not sure that it's consistently bigger. I think...

    Thoctar is good against:

    -board control/slow control, including some CB decks
    -aggro, including (and especially) the mirror

    Thoctar is not good against:

    Re: [DTB] Zoo

    I went 4-1 and split the finals of a 12-man tournament yesterday with the same list I posted before. I beat Elves, 5c Zoo, UG Thrash, and UG CB/Top. My only loss was to combo.

    Some random tech...

    Re: June 20th B/R Update Any Guesses

    June 20th is like 3 weeks away. This thread seems a bit premature.

    But anyways, I don't think anything is going to get banned. As much as some people complain about Goyf or Counterbalance or Top...

    I just split the finals of the DHG Mox tournament (32 players) with Zoo. This was my list:

    4 Wooded Foothills
    4 Windswept Heath
    1 Bloodstained Mire
    3 Taiga
    3 Plateau
    2 Savannah
    1 Mountain

    Re: [Deck] Non-LED Based Dredge/Ichorid Combo

    For that first hand, if you think you're playing against blue, it might be best to lead with turn 1 Therapy on Force, then go nuts on turn 2 with Imp (pitch GGT and Thug) then Careful Study....

    Re: Cascade Hypergenesis

    I think the problem is that since you have no way of assembling the two card combo, you'll often be left some combination of mediocre cards to drop into play off a Hypergenesis. It just seems...

    I've found Engineered Plague to be disappointingly poor against Merfolk. They run so many lords that you often need either Plague + removal or multiple Plagues in order to actually kill their...

    Re: [ARB] Alara Reborn discussion thread

    While Pridemage can certainly hit the table faster than a Counterbalance, chances are that you're only running him as a singleton to find with Survival. The probability of actually dropping him on...

    Re: [ARB] Alara Reborn discussion thread

    3cc is relevant for blowing up Counterbalances, but Exalted is good at winning Goyf wars. I suppose it depends on what you expect to face.

    This set looks really cool so far. SO many limited bombs.

    It's good against Krosan Grip. But other than that, Countertop just seems better.

    Re: [DTW] Vial Goblins

    I've been liking Earwig Squad too. Not only is he still a fat beater against a resolved Plague, but he prevents further Plagues from coming down. The same can be said for Goyfs/Firespouts/etc. Also,...
