  1. Re: [Primer] Six Shades of Dressnought aka Vaka-Nought

    Sylvan Library seems like a must-play with 4 Uro to me. My impression from the Bosh N Roll video was that Minsc & Boo would have been better in most situations than Greater Good. I also wanted to run...
  2. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I think I would take Ozy's list and cut Uros and probably a Forked Bolt for 2x Klothys and 2x Brazen Borrower. This gives you a strong anti-Uro package and you keep your grinding power against the...
  3. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Well, it seems like for posterity's sake, someone should remark upon the state of RUG Delver after the Labe/Oko/Dreadhorde bannings. Call me old fashioned, but I just don't see the appeal of posting...

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    I gotta think True-Name is going to be a big winner. Hard to picture what the metagame is going to look like tho, a lot of fringe strategies have gotten a lot more powerful over the years but were...

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    Hard to imagine Uro gets banned without an Oko ban. As long as Dreadhorde doesn't get banned, RUG will be a clear winner regardless of what they do.

    Re: URGw Noble Arcanist

    I've tried to make Noble Hierarch work in RUG a bunch. Mentor is an interesting idea I haven't tried before. The main issue is that Hierarch typically doesn't end up being better than Delver. But I...

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    You raise a good point that RUG is going to dominate if Astrolabe is banned. However, RUG is fairly narrow strategy with exploitable weaknesses (non-basic mana base, removal, Carpet of Flowers). I am...

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    I guess this issue has been hashed out a thousand times, but I don't see how Oko is a bigger offender than Astrolabe. Oko is easy enough to Red Blast. As long as Astrolabe is legal, 5c Snowpile with...
  9. Re: Zendikar Resurgent spoilers: Eldrazi Need Not Apply

    I would imagine the Guide-Beast's best use is simply to be played next to the color-shifted Steppe Lynx et al as way to keep your landfall triggers coming. Play the Steppe Lynx Turn 1 and this guy on...
  10. Re: Zendikar Resurgent spoilers: Eldrazi Need Not Apply

    That Jace is pretty cool and probably better than it looks but unfortunately Uro.
  11. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Oko is quite powerful and can always be pitched to Force of Will so I like playing 3. I think people trimming on Oko are typically trying to squeeze more Tarmogoyfs in the deck, which really help in...

    Re: WotC bans cards for racism

    I don't see how these decades old cards were hurting anyone but I'm a random white dude. I think snuffing out Chandra as a bisexual character to appease an authoritarian Chinese regime, which I...

    Re: WotC bans cards for racism

    I don't know if Wizards actually has discriminatory hiring practices. The way they are banning Cleanse, which doesn't seem any more racist than the color pie in general, wreaks of a guilty conscience...

    Re: WotC bans cards for racism

    No one seems to have pointed out that the reasons these cards were banned was because Zaiem Beg wrote a blog post calling Wizards for discriminatory hiring practices. Rather than address those hiring...
  15. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    @wcm8
    -Regarding the shroud RUG variant, I do recall Jonathan Alexander playing a Delverless Mongoose/Mandrills/TNN/Winter Orb version designed to prey on Miracles decks with Sensei's Divining Top...
  16. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    @ Jackabo
    -I appreciate your reply. Hooting Mandrills is definitely my favorite among the various green beaters: Hooting Mandrills, Nimble Mongoose, Tarmogoyf and Hexdrinker. I certainly I think...
  17. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the post-Lurris metagame. I figured I would share my results through six leagues and discuss some of my conclusions. I primarily played a configuration with...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (BUG Delver)

    @wcm8
    I feel like Oko is the easiest part of these Snowko decks to deal with. What's hard to deal with is a wall of Strixes into Uro. At least you typically have a whole turn to answer Oko without...
  19. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I definitely agree. I don't know if people want to talk about a Delver-less build in this thread but this is what I have been trying lightly:

    1 Dryad Arbor
    3 Grove of the Burnwillows
    4 Misty...
  20. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Magmatic Sinkhole is a pretty solid 1-of to have in your 75 if you're not on Hooting Mandrills. However, Oko does a similiar kind of thing (later game removal) and can single-handedly win the game in...
  21. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I feel like your last Challange list should have a pretty reasonable elves match-up. A bunch of removal, Wren and Six, and Hooting Mandrills are all pretty good against them. You could probably...
  22. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    The card is amazing. Even if the recurring Wastelands or the -1 ability aren't very relevant, the +1 ability at least combos with Brainstorm and you can always dome your opponent with the -1. I think...

    Re: [Deck] Dreadstill - Enter the Fist

    That list is sick. I love the way Illusionary Mask lets you play Dreadnought through Chalice on 1 but Chalice on 1 also protects Dreadnought from Swords to Plowshares.
  24. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I would have to concur that this deck crushes Maverick right now. Wrenn and Six and True-Name are wildly good against them.
  25. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Well I don't mean to spam this thread with references to Youtube page so I'll stop after this. But I did run a list with Hexdrinker through a league and record, just see the my link in my signature....
