    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    For the Full Transform I take out all 4 Combo Pieces, 4 Narcoameobas, and 4 Balustrade spies. I bring in 4 Spoils, 3 Belcher, 4 Pact of Negation and an Undercity Informer. The informer comes in...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    Bahamuth, I always run 1 misers Belcher in the MD, and it's been working out very well. I also run 3 more belcher in the side, to diversify threats post board, as well as four spoils of the vault,...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    No problem Stygian, we're all trying to optimize our builds here and these are the questions we need to ask.

    I've been running 4x Manamorphose 4x Cabal Ritual for awhile, and have been very happy...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    Not to be too blunt, but I think cutting any number of Chrome Mox from this deck is a terrible idea.

    The Belcher article talks about 3 metrics: Mana, kill condition and initial mana. Belcher can...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    We should test this card.

    Going off with an extra red or green mana isn't uncommon for this deck, and this could be a...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    I think Sylvan and Worldy Tutor might be worth exploring. Most builds here have nixed cantrips, but a build that runs them might want the cards. The main issue I see with possibly including them is...

    People should check out the Prosak Article.

    I don't like his MD, (as I'm a fan of Tutors and LED in the main) but he...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    Nudon, I'm curious about your decision to cut the Infernal Tutors. In gold fishing I've found them to be essential in fetching win cons, especially when paired with LED. I also like it that they can...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    Catmint, I'd highly suggest that when making mulliganing decisions with this deck, you mull to black mana. It's a lot easier to find a threat in this deck than it is to assemble the mana, (I know,...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    I'm with Grad Student Guy about Leyline of Lifeforce, but for a slightly different reason. Even if we stick a Leyline, players will just counter our mana sources. It's for that reason that, although...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    I actually prefer informer in the board precisely because of LED. You can crack LED in response to casting living wish, and then be able to cast him, an interaction I've abused quite a bit in my...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    My personal pet name for the deck is "Captain Hammer" because Captain Hammer is a jerk, and you are kind of being one when you play with this deck and win on T1 (But a man's got to do what a man's...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    So in gold fishing with my list, I've discovered that you always want to mull to black mana. The deck is so threat dense that, if you can assemble the mana, getting a threat shouldn't be a problem....

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    So far I've been digging Manamorphose quite a bit in the deck. Turning Spirit Guides into black mana is awesome, and that it cycles is just gravy. I'm Also a big fan of running the 1 Belcher Main...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    I've been interested in this deck ever since I saw a brew abusing it posted in Adam Prosak's thread. This was before Balustrade Spy was spoiled, so the deck didn't feature it, but I've had good...
