Imo the thread can stay inactive until another major meta transition makes BUG without Delver and without Shardles viable again...
Maybe nemesis helps.. not sure...

Delver used to be grouped together with control, but that was a while ago. These days Shardless really took over the BUG control/midrange spectrum, but as long as tcdecks does not split it up, it is...
I've built something similar with confidant maindeck and FoW in the sideboard.
My comments:
Confidant is bad if you fall behind in tempo and/or life total, so you have to make sure you don't....
Canadian is never easy. Some hands you feel very strong if you can get basics, resolve a strix and have a couple of removal spells and goyfs. But some other times you have to walk into their Stifle,...
Tombstalker is the most potent threat, but the main problem is hymn followed up by stalker. I only board out 1 jace since they dont have burn and dont attack the manbase with stifle.
Other...
I tested disfigure a lot and was very happy. Does exactly what you need in the early game and is rarely dead in the late game. There are of course some awkward situations with ooze, Goyf & knight but...
Thank you - the list is optimized for the the tough creature matchups RUG (still DTB#1) Goblins & Maverick running a lot of board control and the 2 cliques are there to support the combo & control...
As I wrote I was thinking about the curve and the mana requirements and I was on a much more conservative route than others. For a while I tried to up my curve playing 7 3 drops (3 snapcaster, 2...
I posted some thoughts about the most important creatures and their strenghts here: ...
Nice Jarvis and Einjerher.
What I wonder is curve and manabase.
A short comparison of manabase and avg cmc manacost of my list and the last 2 (counting FoW as 0 mana & snapcaster as 3 mana...
Sure it does....
I guess against a snapcaster or stoneforge you do appreciate Garruk, since you don't want to bounce them but still need to deal with this little "extra bodies" to enjoy your walker. Mayby I try 1...
At cmc4 the questions I ask myself (not sure about correct answes):
How many cmc4 cards (walkers) can we support?: 3 is proven, 4 might be possible (but maybe cutting something else at 3cmc for...
Concerning your current list Einherjer: why not play real cards over ponder. If you are concerned of the blue count (rightfully so): Spell Pierce/ Spell Snare comes to mind. :)
Also I feel that...
That some fringe matchups like affinity or enchantress can be won on the back of deed is not reason enough to include it for me. That it can hit tokens or bigger artifacts/enchantments is also not...
What do you mean "replace deed with". I think you should not just take a deck and swap some cards... you have to design a deck with an overall good gameplan & good synergies. If you still run 0-3...
There is nothing like Tarmogoyf at 2 mana and I would not question it just because some decks bring in GY hate.
Goblins always had those relics, but now we can trade it against a decay if they...
Pretty much agree but
Confidant is super against combo, because he will live! Compared to goyf 1 damage less per turn, but drawing extra cards!
Goyf is "good" against everything: agree - he is...
Don't think UW will board out their removal - even if they don't see a ton of creatures G1.
Deathrite and Clique are significant threats they have to deal with. I also think that even the biggest...
Makes sense... no religous call on confidant.
The meta in SCG (and MWS) tends to adapt much fast than in my locals. :smile:
Your pairings reflect what you expect. Confidant was only bad in 2...
Of course you are not guaranteed. (I used "" to signal that in my inital post concerning this topic). But not getting a 2 for 1 with strix or snapcaster is rare and confidant dying is very common....
I brought up this other 2 drops because all of them are utility creatures providing card advantage. It is about the concept of getting value out of a card and not playing stoneforge in BUG.
Life loss is not my main concern altough you putting FoW in the side might not be a coincidence. :smile: check out my post in the link: it is not guaranteed value compared to strix, Stoneforge,...
Sure Jarvis - not Team America at all.
The thing is that TCdecks http://www.thecouncil.es/tcdecks/formato.php?format=Legacy collects decklists form all around the world and mtgthesource makes...
One comment to Mox Diamond. It is of course more stable and explosive than deathrite in terms of acceleration, but deathrite does so much more and is a good topdeck. compared to mox diamond which is...
