The fact it is a creature is relevant against thalia. Against D&T you similarly have to worry about swords obviously, so being a creature is once again a liability there.
In my experience, the...
Concerning this list I really dislike a couple things:
1) The sideboard. I think that if you're gonna play a pinger it needs to not be creature based, or needs to be able to go tempo neutral. Three...
I just saw! Looking forward to seeing the list.
Anyone playing at vegas? I'd love to hear how everyone is doing/ see some reports after.
Library is more of a threat than a cantrip, not that the distinction is terribly important. You should NEVER consider running Library over something like Ponder. I like playing Library in place of...
Some thoughts on your build:
1) I think that you want less than 12 creatures in pretty much all builds of Canadian, and especially so when you are playing multiple True-Names. I think that you can...
Hey all, stopping back in with another local weekly summary. My list was the following
Maindeck
18 Lands
4 Delver of Secrets
3 Nimble Mongoose
2 Tarmogoyf
1 True-Name Nemesis
In general I like them in the following matchups:
Nimble Mongoose: Grixis delver, Death and Taxes, UR delver, Infect, Burn, Jeskai delver, Miracles, Stoneblade, Loam, S&S, Reanimator
Tarmogoyf:...
G1 I'm on the play. Hand is 3 lands, 2 goyfs, delver and a daze. Very good hand in the mu. Delver go, let swiftspear resolve, jam a goyf, daze eidolon, jam another goyf. Game is over from there.

MD
2 Scalding Tarn
2 Flooded Strand
2 Polluted Delta
2 Misty Rainforest
3 Tropical Island

So with miracles back in the mix, and the format not looking as deathrite saturated as I had previously predicted, I am interested in sleeving up canadian again. Some things that I have experienced...
I don't think he meant imbalanced from the perspective of doing busted, powerful things. I think he meant that all of the czech piles are imbalanced from a matchup spread perspective. The deck is...
I think that this is a good point considering sanctum prelate is a card. I think, with that in mind, I would go -1 return and +1 sudden shock.
What I plan on playing is below:
MD
Stock S&S 51
2 Preordain
4 Spell Pierce
2 Gitaxian Probe
1 Simian Spirit Guide
I really am focused on trying to jam the combo early.
While lightning bolt addresses the problem cards in d&t (not taking mom into account), and buys time against aggro strats, it doesn't answer leovold cleanly, and is a stone cold blank against combo...
With the banning of top we lose a couple things:
1) A positive matchup in the deck Miracles
2) The option of playing sensei's top against the grindy goodstuff decks
The first one likely has more...
Just noticed this puppy played to the top 4 of a French tournament:
