Attack the idea, not the person.
Warnings will be issued if you don't get it together.
Besides, CT plays an outrageous number of sorcery-speed cards (Top/Ponder, Creatures/CB), it will be very difficult to play Wing Shards for profit. Better off playing Exile, and that card is shit.
The one-liners above do not belong in this thread. Posting "THIS" and so on is not going to cut it. Shape up.

Without black you draw cards like the Gro and Threshold decks that came before: cantrips and the virtual/relative draw power you get with running fewer lands than most decks. Really though, you see...
Doesn't seem to be good enough--going back to that power vs. consistency argument I was making earlier. If all of a deck's cards are coming are coming online between turn 5-6 because of one...
I go back and forth between 3 and 4 colors every few weeks and don't think it's as simple as you make it seem. Granted, the top 2 GP Chicago decks were 4c and that is obviously a compelling reason...
From many, many games, this just isn't true. You can run Deed along-side Goyf and CB. I'll definitely concede that it looks like shit on paper (hypothetically, a problem), but IRL, it's just fine....
The Black vs. White-splash disussion is the most interesting to me right now. Without applying this analysis to the metagame, different card choices are:
Black-Splash:
* Dark Confidant
*...
In testing ~40 games w/ CT in the past week (against real opponents and not), I've been pretty unimpressed with Daze--which is odd, because it's one of my favorite MtG cards, period.
The thing is...
I played my list above in a small (8-10) person tournament and got "2nd" -- though there were so few people so this post shouldn't count for much.
List:
Same as above (post #428), except:
-1...
He's hard to evaluate--sometimes he's a flying 2/2 for three (a really shitty Gaea's Skyfolk); other times, he owns face (vs. Stax, mirror, hitting random shit your opponent was counting on). In my...
Clique is still flexible--not 100% sold yet. I like him because he flies, costs 3 (for the curve and CB), has flash and has a built-in Peak+bonus built in. Honestly though, since I don't own real...
That 6 xxx would include 3-4 Qasali Pridemage.
After 15 or so games w/ UGbw (black for Bob in the main and Thoughtseize in the side; white for Pridemage and StP in the main), I cut back to U/g/w...
Nassif's GP sideboard was sort of a joke, but also completely functional.
For reference:
1 Blue Elemental Blast
1 Burrenton Forge-tender
1 Darkblast
1 Engineered Plague
1 Enlightened Tutor...
More testing and substantive discussion; less "here's my list, what do you think?" posts. (Not picking on Jayzonious in particular--just needs to be said.)
This is one of the worst threads on the...
I'm too lazy to move it, so you should start a new thread or post in Tempo/Thresh in N&D if you want to discuss it. Indeed, lists that don't run Counterbalance and Divining Top don't belong in a...
The "keep 1 land" for a pseudo-control deck is sort of a deal-killer, unless the dude you kept was Dark Confidant. WW is the casting cost is also problematic. Seems risky, though there's not much of...
