    Re: [Deck] The Gate

    Hollywood, If I'm reading the SCG results right, it appears you went 4-3-drop. Care to actually address this now, or are we still playing head-in-the-sand?

    Re: [Deck] Suicide Black

    Actually Darksteel Brute doesn't seem bad, low cmc, indestructable, and can turn extra mana into an extra beater/blocker. I'd be interested to see something along the lines of a black Sligh. Would...

    Yeah Duressing out Vial is super badass when you play first. Problem is, sometimes you don't play first, and then you're boned! When your Duress reveals a bunch of dudes and maybe some burn or just...

    Let me try to elaborate in a similarly snide tone so that maybe you'll actually listen instead of copy/pasting the same tired talking points again.

    A friend and I both played the Gate today at the SCG 5K Denver. Conclusion: it's too slow.

    Re: [Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

    Basically all LD is dead late in the game unless you're dedicating so much of the deck to it that you can keep them from stabilizing for multiple turns.

    So, if you want to run Sinkhole and...

    I don't get what you're trying to say here? That the Gate plays slowly, yet somehow establishes board position so fast that the control player can't recover? I would love to believe that it's just...

    I would think more often than not, they do have an answer. Countertop decks are all running JtMS now as their cmc4, and even if they don't have a 4 drop in their top three, it's not like...

    I would consider cutting the following:

    Elspeth/Persecutor: you really don't want 6 cards at cmc 4. The double white in Elspeth's cost is going to be a pain to manage, but she is really good. ...

    AFAIK, I'm the only person running the Depths/Mage combo in Deadguy. For those that don't like that, I'd suggest putting in 3x Abyssal Persecutor and 3x Cabal Therapy instead. I felt like Wasteland...

    Although I'm not really a fan of Spinning Darkness, I think you're missing the point, which is to surprise ANT players that get greedy with Ad Nauseum. Cursed Scroll is a great card, but not in this...
