2-1 Victory over Wrenn and Six RUG Delver for my Card Kingdom feature match tonight. Some embarrassingly sloppy play on my part, but shared anyways.
...
Just doing some more math and keeping a record of my findings here. Now that the manabase includes 2 fetches, I did a hypergeometric investigation of replacing the 3rd Skycloud with a single Tundra...
A quick sequel to the above. The success of a colleague with a 3 Cavern list resonated with my own experience, so I ran the numbers on cutting Caverns back to 3 on the UW list I've been developing.

Spent an hour or so running through all of the combinations of mana to investigate the "5th Basic" idea.

Making a slight change to how I'm playing the UW list

Creatures (10)
2 Walking Ballista
4 Monastery Mentor
4 Auriok Salvagers
Been experimenting with cleaning up and focusing the UW list

Still 4 "Basics"but may want to move to 5. Just focused on being as consistent as possible and...
So, here's what I'm planning on running tonight with reasoning. Any and all feedback is appreciated

So the premise of the blue splash is as follows:

Speaking of Mystic Forge, here is some footage (for as long as Twitch keeps it up) of it being run on camera at the team SCG event today. (Spoilers: They don't end up winning the game in question,...
I've considered it as I've been tinkering with a UW Skycloud Expanse build for Teferi, TR / Intuition, but with Mystic Forge if anything I'd be leaning back towards Mono-Colored rather than going...
Yes, after Modern Horizons hits you definitely want to be running something to deal with things like this. It's likely coming in exclusively in matchups that creature removal is good in and in which...

Cards like this do not make me feel happy about my choice of Artifact Lands.
They do however make me happier with Teferi, as I doubt this would be in a list...
I think if you're on a classic Mono-White list but want some protection that can also double as disruption in a combo race, he's a fine candidate. You have to commit to when you use him which is more...
Not a problem, crobee =)
Anyways, so I played another feature match this Monday. I thought these were some pretty good games.

Huh; so I believe I may have been wrong on an assumption earlier about Seat of Synod / Ancient Den.
If I move to 3 Mono-Blue cards and 7 Mono-White, with 19 colored sources, I think the 19th...
Yes, thank you very much for sharing crobee. I'm thrilled to see more people playing around Intuition in Bomberman builds, and to reply to what ChemicalBurns said, Japan probably deserves most of the...
Hello ESG.
I've run into fewer Chalice decks since WAR than I rightly should have, but in outside testing Chalice itself has not been a huge problem with 3x Karn and 3x Teferi, both which serve as...
You're right. Man, that's a heck of a seemingly extra clause to throw on the card.
Super Succinct Event Report / Footage:
So I went 4-0 8-0 in the Cardkingdom event last night with the list in the post above.
Here's my feature match (a little bit of sloppy use of mana, but...
Looking forward to getting to run New Karn in paper for the first time.
For tonight, I think I'm going to go with a main-60 along the lines of

4x Auriok Salvagers

I've spent the past couple weeks toying around with a UW Intuition build with 3x Teferi, Time Raveler, 4x Skycloud Expanse and an Azorius Signet. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that new...
Quite bad. It's instant speed removal for Salvagers (presumably placed on the stack after we discard our hand) that gets around Chalice on 1 and also can Ghost Quarter us. If the card becomes...

So I feel like further brewing here might be a little hasty until we see exactly what...
I had never actually seen nor thought of this particular interaction being attempted. Thank you for the lesson.
So only been testing it for two weeks, but -1 Bauble +1 Recruiter to up the creature count to 18 seems to be a positive change in the Humans list, bringing me to

4x Auriok...
