    Attack the idea, not the person.

    Warnings will be issued if you don't get it together.

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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.

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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....

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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
    *...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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:

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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 Burrenton Forge-tender
    1 Darkblast

    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.)

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    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...
