As a new year’s thing, here’s a mini 2019 retrospective of my year with stoneblade. It’s more a collection of my thoughts than anything so take them for what they’re worth or discuss them below.
...
I would just run UW delverblade until you save up to buy some snapcasters for UW stoneblade. From there you could even try getting into jeskai stoneblade, thanks to prismatic vista you really only...
:laugh:(but i know what you mean)
UW delver blade is a weird deck man.
With regards to stifle, i mean its probably worth trying. I don't think i'd ever call stifle outright bad in a delver...
I think i agree. My primary concern about the W6 decks is actually the plague engineers that often accompany it. Engineer is probably the cleanest answer i've seen to TNN in a long time, and now...
A few thoughts on your list:
I was high on palace jailer a month or two ago, but given the advent of narset, it’s probably not good enough anymore. I advocated for him because he was a...
Has anyone else been tinkering with prismatic vista?
I've done a little bit of testing of 4c stoneblade with prismatic vista and its been more stable than i initially thought it would be. The...
The starting 60 looks pretty solid.
You should probably swap out 3 polluted delta/misty rainforest and 1 marsh flats for 4 prismatic vista. It makes your mana that much more stable. It’s probably...
Loved it, IMO it should probably just be in every blade deck going forward.
In a vacuum if you just compared jace to jailer, jace is better.
Jace however has a lot of liabilities that jailer...
I’ve been changing up my stoneblade list a lot, and have finally landed on a list I like and probably won’t change for a while:
Lands-20
4 Flooded Strand
4 Polluted Delta
2 Marsh Flats
2...
Question, how did you feel about the two kambals?
It’s a card I want to try, but I just can’t justify it. While it’s obviously good in the ANT matchup, I’m unsure of its applications outside of...
Realistically probably not. Legacy has too many decks that can operate off 1 or 2 lands. I can see it being a blank in a lot of cases. I also don’t necessarily like this card more than any of the...
Honestly, I’ve been kind of surprised that going down to 19 lands hasn’t been that big of a problem. Maybe it’s my basic heavy build without wastelands, but in an average game I don’t usually feel...
Since the DRS ban I’ve been tinkering around a lot to mixed/poor results. First success I’ve had in a while, maybe it was good matchups/luck or maybe I’m actually onto something with this build. ...
I tried a list kind of like this a lonnggggggggg time ago. I didn’t like it, but personally I think that owen’s list seems pretty solid and he’s certainly a very capable pilot.
I didn’t like it...
Not really? Or at least I don’t recall one, she didn’t really come up previously because DRS had made the format way too fast to consider a 5 mana walker that didn’t immediately win the game. Now...
I recently returned to bitterblossom after a DRS ban, I figured the card might have some more life to it since we aren’t constantly getting drained for 2 and AD is much less relevant than it was. ...
Regarding miracles, personally I don’t like/refuse to play it for what amount to personal reasons. I just find miracles far too durdely/do nothing for my taste, it does have its devout followers...
Should be close to 50/50. Honestly, almost any deck is pretty 50/50 with esper stoneblade. Noteably i think big mana decks have a huge advantage though.
With all the brewing going around I...
Certain versions of it could possibly Tier 1.
If I had to guess just straight UW benefitted the most. While I don’t know what the format going forward looks like, I do think that mana denial...
Lol you found my decklist. I haven't tested it yet though, i'll probably grab a copy today and test it out next week?
The card seems like it will be at its best in dnt. I mean once you get vial...
I’m finally back with another report. I’ve been running cold lately and been busy, so my motivation to sit down and do one of these things has been pretty low. The list has changed bit since I last...
There isn’t strictly speaking a “way to go.” Blade decks are essentially amorphous, they take whatever shape their pilot wants. I once tried UWr stoneblade with delver, I found the two simply don’t...
Hey its been a while since my last report. I've been playing but been busy so haven't had time to do my usual writeup. My local shop did just start doing streaming w/ commentary, and there were two...
Same list, pretty meh night. Ended up not making any changes, the list feels really tuned. I do still want to add stuff, but I’m just not sure where. I thought I could cut disenchant for something...
It’s been a while, been busy with work/finals/other obligations so I haven’t had time to keep updating. Do have some time this week so here we go(again). Decklist remains the same as last week,...
