All this ^ Well said.
It's true, StP is far and away better than cards like Piracy Charm or Dismember. Submerge is amazing in the matchup's it's good against but obviously it's very narrow as well. I can't argue with the...
As someone who has experience with both the white splash and the straight U/G deck, I can say they both have their advantages.
I was on the white splash for a long time but fairly recently I...
Wow did anyone read the finals game report against Joe Lossett?

Great job kid, and what a...
Ahhhh I not see this at all!? Thanks for pointing that out, I don't play standard (ever), so it's the first time I've ever really playtested with this card before.
I admit, Jace isn't bad but I'm not sure if he's worth the slot or not. The looting is nice and it's obviously very easy to flip him. The problem is I don't find his flashback all that useful. Costs...
I haven't played Stifle in ages but I get the appeal of it. It's sometimes a huge blow out but I hated drawing it late in the game when it did very little (majority of the time).
Right now I'm...
I cannot speak for Infect bringing in Null Rod for Eldrazi but I can speak about it from the other side of the match. I've been playing a lot of Eldrazi lately (multiple versions) and Null Rod does...
I'm finding the same with stifle. It's so so good in your opening hand and so meh after that. It's generally a horrible top deck as well, so I'm likely going to cut it for a second spell Pierce or...
I prefer the consistency of other core cards instead personally, though dryad Arbor feels pretty good from time to time when you want a surprise blocker off a fetch.
I've been using a piracy...
I would consider putting one in the SB against the mirror (there's nothing I hate seeing more than Jitte when playing Infect) but I think it would be too slow otherwise.
It certainly deserves...
You're absolutely right, though to illustrate what Jesture is saying, you don't want to keep FoW in against decks that are redundant in their card selection. Decks like RUG and other Delver variants...
I have considered corrupter main, though I don't run GSZ, so I'm not sure if it's really all that worth it without being able to tutor for it when needed.
I also have played with Savannah in my...
Never considered the Safekeeper, that's spicy tech :) I may have to find room to give it a try....
I should mention, I'm using the white splash currently, so sideboard slots are scarce. Spellskite...
I'm going to a local legacy event at the end of the month and decided to run the little poison creatures. I'm expecting to see lots of grixis and miracles. Any "must have" sb slots i should be...
I've considered equipment as well but never with SFM, which certainly could be worth exploring as a SB option. As you said, Jitte especially is a beating against a good few decks in the format,...
Absolutely agree... A "True name stompy" type deck with TNN and pump spells/berserks could potentially be a viable alterative to what the poster is looking for.
I think running TNN in an infect deck is mostly nonsense as well, but I tried to be polite about it and explain reasons why, despite thinking it's a bad idea.
Not sure why the hostility,...
True name has no place is the deck because it doesn't provide you with infect AND is one turn slower to cast
Yes, it'll be an "unblock-able threat" as well but who cares when you have to pay...
Null Rod is a VERY interesting choice, I am going to try and squeeze one into my board as well. Wasn't thinking about it being a good SB option against Storm and it can do extra duty against decks...
If money wasn't an issue, I'd go with the Judge foil ones personally. Don't think you can go wrong either way though, very much personal preference.
I'm in the process of replacing all my fetches...
Dark Confident is played in Jund, which it would hit - but I really don't think I'd even bring Necropede in for that matchup (in other words, I absolutely agree with your point) :)
I personally...
I guess it really depends on personal preference but Im actually using 2 Ponders myself and have been very pleased with it. I'm also only running 2 Git Probes though, so whether you want the cantrip...
I've been trying Stifle on and off for the last few months and I just haven't been able to settle on it. It's great a lot of the time, so I debate if I want to keep going back to it but there's a lot...
The singleton StP is something I've thought about myself. I'm running 20 lands, I've played a TON of 19 land games too and it works fine but with all the wastelands coming back into the format, I...
