    Re: Mono-White Control

    Pyromancer's Ascension will struggle to get enough storm count if Martyr or Genju get active in game 1. The CotV and Silence push game 2 further into positive territory.
    12-Post is going to be one...

    Mono-White Control

    I noticed that the general Modern meta seems to be taking shape with 12-post / Pyromancer's Ascension as DTB / Zoo / other creature-based decks.
    Then came in the new Banned List and one thing looks...

    Re: New to the format

    As explained, Affinity is no Deck-to-Beat.
    I wouldn't be too concerned with hate though : it's not what people are bothered about in their sideboards currently.

    Your best chance, imo, is to go...

    1. If MoE is a game-winner in a given game and you have reason to suspect the opponent has removal, you want Confidant out first to draw the removal.
    If not, a good opponent won't waste removal on...

    How happy are you with your 0cc critters ? Because they don't seem to do much here, apart from upping the artifact count.

    I like the Chalice idea. Not convinced by the Canonist (meta choice, I guess) but I like CotV.

    Re: [SCD] Sword of Feast and Famine

    That sword is actually silly-good, but not in Legacy.

    In a slower format, the untapping clause makes it dirt cheap and pro-black means pro-removal.
    However, in Legacy, it can clog a hand and the...

    Re: [Deck] Vial Affinity

    Mox Opal just replaces the Drum. I'm not convinced by the need to keep the latter, at least not as more than 2-of.

    By the way, how do you all feel about Ravager now ?

    Merfolk is not unbeatable. It's just a good deck that has the good matchups in the right meta at the moment.

    Re: SCD: Sword of Body and Mind

    I don't know.
    Pro-Green means no-blocking.
    Then, that 2/2 becomes a 4/4 pro-green after re-equipping and you get a new re-equip target on every attack.

    It won't fit everywhere but it's worth...

    Fair enough.
    I had more in mind decks like Enchantress and Stax but if you need the clock, then I agree that bears are likely better.

    So, Enchantress can now deny burn and discard strategies, as well as going possibly positive against ANT, Belcher and all sorts of Tendrils, all thanks to a castable enchantment.
