    Re: [DTB] Dark Depths

    You're talking about the list with Rite of Consumption, right? Is there a reason to play Boseiju and Rite of Consumption other than Miracles? I know you're preparing for the GP in Kyoto. If you take...

    Re: [DTB] Dark Depths

    I got first place in another event in my area. As I mentioned before, I decided to test out more discard in my sideboard over Spheres; I played a sideboard with Inquisition of Kozilek (over...

    Can you tell us what type of matchups you're bringing Sylvan Library in against, and what cards in your maindeck you're considering cutting in those matches?

    Re: [DTB] Dark Depths

    Looking at a bunch of lists on MTG Top 8, the typical sideboard cards out of Grixis Delver that interact with us seem to be Surgical Extraction, Diabolic Edict, and Wasteland. In my mind this means...

    It completely slipped my mind that Inquisition of Kozilek isn't very good against the actual Show and Tell pieces other than Show and Tell itself. All the available discard choices have their...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    So, I'm working on what I want to do for GP Kyoto next month. I really don't get to play much, so I have a few things I've been thinking about but I don't have many opportunities to test. I'm going...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    So I won a tournament for a Volcanic Island this past weekend. I copied the most recent list by DNSolver, minus 1 Abrupt Decay, plus one Krosan Grip (that didn't do anything). I have no idea what the...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    2 Death and Taxes, 2-3 Maverick and a Lands player sounds like a ton of people playing Karakas + other cards that are terrible for you. If that many people are on those sorts of decks, Not of this...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    Crop Rotation has a real cost, but so does playing Not of this World. It feels like I'm a Dredge player with maindeck Nature's Claim in my deck because of one player in my area playing RIP Combo....

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    Put simply, my metagame has almost no white in it, but I am not cleaning up house because of the games I drop to stumbling against decks that are fast enough to actually punish you for that. We're...

    Well, what are you using Mishra's Factory for? Unless I'm missing something, the uses for Mishra's Factory are to beat Edict effects, to block low power ground creatures, and to attack. I guess it...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    jdmdave, what do you like about playing 2 Verdant Catacombs instead of 4? If you're not playing NotW in the main, how do you feel about ovate's suggestion about Expedition Map over Into the North?...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    The other side of the coin though is that NotW can straight up lose you the game because it is *completely* dead in some matchups, and you don't need NotW because you're actually playing other...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    In your 15 rounds at the GP, how many times did you cast Not of this World against a deck that didn't have Miracles in it? That's why I'm against NotW right now. It depends on your metagame, but my...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    I'm unsure what to play instead of Not of this World, but ideally it would be a card with more utility. The last event I went to, I swapped out my copies of NotW with an Abrupt Decay, a Toxic Deluge,...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    This is where I'm coming from on the issue:

    Karakas still exists, but how many decks punish you for not having more answers to Karakas in game 1? I think it's just Death and Taxes and Lands that...

    How do you all feel about Not of this World? If I'm playing against a deck with Swords to Plowshares, it feels great, but other than that I curse myself every time I draw it. Miracles just doesn't...

    For people playing Emrakul, the Promised End, are you actually worried about Emrakul being countered? I mean...do you need the body? Can you usually set up the game so that taking your opponent's...

    As a bit of a digression, I don't think that the Japanese GP will be as saturated with budget players as you assume. They reserved 500 free spots for students that were available only until the...
