    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Hello,

    I think Sidewinder overlaps too much with Striking. It is all for the offensive side and sometimes, I am on the defensive side. Especially early game because sliver needs to reach a...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    I would rather say it is an upgrade to "Winged Sliver" not Galerider. CMC 1 is the real deal.

    Unsettled Mariner seems to have some potential. Not sure it is Legacy playable but I could see a mix...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    I'm really not sure we can afford playing Wasteland in such a build.
    I didn't have time to make adjustments lately but I would look first at Warping Wail. It seems the card could be included in our...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Actually, it is up to you.

    Against ultra fast tempo (RUG) it might be incorrect to side out all FOW if you are dying with many cards in hand.
    Faerie, here, is weak (compared to RIP for example)...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Can you be more specific ? I fail to see the overall greatness of such a card in our SB as I find it too narrow.

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Well it is far more than that:
    - Elves
    - Jund
    - Shardless
    - D&T
    - Miracle
    - Combo decks

    Sure the card is really powerful on T2 and could be a dead draw midgame.
    But the more you are looking...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Basically I'm searching a replacement to Meddling Mage.
    Here are the options:
    - Leonin arbiter (not a very good top deck)
    - Suppression field (hindrance for us as well but to what extend, if it is...

    @ Thread

    The more I think about it, the more Suppression Field appears to be a hell of a deal (my version wise speaking, obviously) as a sideboard card (replacing the 2 Meddling Mage).

    It...

    Those sideboard tables exist only to be tested and further improved.

    For example, I have no idea if cutting the FOW against Elves is the right way to go. But alas we don't have enough blue to...

    Sure, let's keep talking about Storm as our approach is different.


    1) Against Fast Combo deck, I don't try to win fast. I am rather playing the control role here.

    That's why I like, the...

    Interesting point of view.
    Here is my sideboarding strategy against Storm:

    -4 Vial
    -2 Muscle Sliver
    -2 Predatory
    -1 Winged Sliver
    -2 Crystalline Sliver

    2 Canonist

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    Dunno if RIP is better.(But are we really afraid of BUG and RUG ?)

    A countered RIP grows Tarmo and they will keep their pierce against us (vial + cotv). The likelyhood to resolve that spell...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    RIP is the better card.

    But whether RIP is better than Faerie has to be assessed.

    As a matter of fact, I'm not sure we really need to shut off graveyard strategy entirely.

    @ Thread:

    To be honest, without card selection, I don't think 2x Sylvan Library are useful.
    It dilutes your core strategy and would require 4 slots to be effective.

    1) I'm running the 4th Chalice in the Board (instead of my lone Thalia). I don't know what to cut MD to play the 4th and I'm not sure the deck needs that kind of commitment.
