Finally a reasonable person. THC is too expensive at 3 mana to be playable as a viable strategy akin to Prison in D&T. Accelerating her out works better. Better yet, splash Green for Root Maze; which...

Quality discussion, gentlemen.

Who is Frank?

The '1%' I mentioned is regarding the improved ratio of spells to land after consecutive "fetches".

Everyone should read this article regarding the mathematics of "deck thinning":...

Whhhooooossh.

Not really sure what tree you're barking up Dalkon, but you're making a lot of splash and not a single wave. If you want to present a mathematical argument for card choices, I...

I happen to think that Blue splash is worth more than the Green splash, not so much for the creatures (Green has that department locked up), but moreso for Brainstorm, Daze, Stifle, and Geist....

Storm has been shifting towards Abrupt Decay rather than rely on Dread of Night, since as you said, it can only kill Thalia/Mom in singular. Since they are shifting towards answers that address...

Thoughts on Orim's Chant/Silence as a way to de facto beat Miracles and improve the Storm matchups?

My favorite use of Flickerwisp is taxing lands at my EOT to remove on of their sources. Also, resetting O-ring to Legend rule Jaces. Also, resetting Jaces. Also, (etc)

He does think decks like Maverick/D&T/decks with dorks are doing well because they are strong. His opinion is that why would you play such decks when you could instead play Combo and wreck everyone...

Batterskull is reallllly bad in this deck. It doesn't help achieve the goals well and can get stranded. Even worse is playing 2 copies. Kitchen Finks is also questionable, but we can replace that...

Land Tax. Get it?

I won't fault anyone packing Batterskull in their D&T lists. It performs a solid role player with SFM, for which this deck is geared to use properly. Many Maverick (very much analogous to this...

That's the conclusion I came too as well (Leyline not worth the slots). Yes, I agree that active disruption (Thorns, Thalia, even Silence/Orim's Chant) are much better in general. Their bounce is...

This is mostly true, but COP:red isn't good vs Combo. Leyline does address Combo in a way that the other anti-red don't. I think the goal isn't so much to shut down all the spells, but the quick...

Has anyone tested Leyline of Sanctity vs Burn / Combo recently?

What results has it proven?

SoFI and Jitte are for sure the right call. The last Sword is really the one that's up for discussion. I think that some :w: sword should be included maindeck, and of the remaining colors that would...

Did you know that Burrenton Forge-tender Fogs Progenitus? Runes Halo also stops it completely, and with an active SoLaS and BFT, you can indefinitly fog Progenitus. Just some ideas n how to deal...

Why not run Horizon Canopy in place of Razor Thicket? Seems like a perfect balance between color needs and late-game utility; with the added bonus of boosting your KoTR.

Also, in this metagame, I...

Tajuru Preserver

Any consideration for Journey to Nowhere? Or is it being a prison card not suitable for creature removal where StP and PtE are both cheap and permanent.

Canonist prevents Dredge from going crazy with big turns, which is half the reason it wins. Slow them down to one spell a turn, and you have enough time to assemble a flier + equipment to get into...

It's obviously a 50/50 matchup. But largely depends on who gets Aether Vial(s), Karakas, and Flickerwisp domination. Knowing that hardcasting a Flickerwisp on a Flickerwisp will effectively remove...

Silence, Canonist, and Aura of Silence slow them down (hopefully) long enough to start beating down with beaters/equipments.

O-Ring is sometimes good, as is Wasteland. Weathered Wayfarer is nice...

Against Dredge, Benevolent Bodyguard (which is a stand-in for Mother of Runes on MTGO) has helped tremendously from letting them go nuts with tokens. BFT performs the same role if you have access to...
