I like 2-3 Teferi + 2-3 Karakas MD as general solutions to pretty much everything.
You did not imply, it was all me:-)
Whenever I play a 3rd karakas in any deck, it occupies a spell-slot. I'd guess you'd do fine with 20 lands... Silent Clearing would in a sense fill the same...
Unfortunately, Karakas only targets creatures.
Still a good card to include, but due to less utility you might want to shave one.
I tried Paradox Engine (MD 2 of and 1-of SB) in a build with 8 sol-lands, it was fun as an alternate win route/mana engine... but the issue with it was it didn't do much on it's own so it ended up in...
Mox Amber was a lot better than I expected... I dismissed it initially as a pure Modern-card, but decided to try a pair since the legacy pitch-moxen underperformed for me. Might be enough to play...
Running 1-of Karakas in Mono U, currently testing MD Mystic Forge and less baubles. Might be the most fun I've had with a deck in a long time.
Creatures:8
4 Emry, Lurker of the Loch
4 Urza,...
I have been pondering a white-splashed build aswell (currently playing mono u).
I would run roughly this as a manabase:
3-4 Ancient Tomb
1-2 City of Traitors
4 Prismatic Vista
3 Island
1...
I'd say it's the opposing Karns and also the fact that metalworker is fragile and needs to dodge removal for a turn to do work, compared to Rock+Key into walker/mystic forge which produces value...
Burnt Offering + Allosaurus Rider, not saying it's good... (double pitch sucks) just had to mention it.
Sounds like too much air to me, but I may be wrong, tutors exist after all. Also london mulligan...
I'd say chalice is very essential. Sometimes it's a 2 mana game-win. Also due to the inherent...
From my very limited testing, it's really good vs any U/W matchups. In essence it's protection from TNN/Mentor and Swords, also from their planeswalkers (Jace/Teferi). Terminus is still terminus...
I'm not a big fan of rumning multiples of him as I'm not playing more than 1 equipment, currently at 0-1 copies. He's good vs StP/Path, meaning vs Miracles, DnT and some fringe ones like that...
My experience with Etched Champion has been that it does too little on its own, with equipment it was great though... so I've been on 4x Hangarback for a long time, as it's good vs non-white removal...
I've thought about that route aswell, tempting being a Tezz player previously... but I think losing most of the low CC beats hurts in too many matchups to be worth it.
My idea actually, was going...
Good points about Tower, seems like I've missed out on some nice tech for some time^^ Gonna try a singleton in one of the flex-landslots.
Currently I'm toying with a blue-splashed version; Academy...
I like seeing other players using copters aswell, it's been one of the most solid beaters since I first included it. For the Grixis Control MU I'd opt for Hangarback Walkers first and foremost, but...
I really like the way the blue lists operate:-)
The Antiquities War seems to be better than Tezzeret the Seeker in terms of resiliency and about equal in finding combo parts, as the former doesn't...
This made me sad aswell:-( Maybe we should imprint Dimir Charm/Warping Wail instead... I like cards that are good when not comboing, also, killing hatebears and countering sorceries should cover...
Just throwing out some thoughts here...
Isochron Scepter with an imprinted card such as Fire//Ice should be GG with Engine and a Monolith ... then again you would need atleast a light blue splash...
Glimpse might be worth it since there is no Chalice, potentially nuts. Sylvan Library could work, but we lack shuffle effects... so we are dependant on Skirge if we want to use it aggressively.
...
Green is actually my current go-to splash color for Steel Stompy, mostly due to SB Choke and Seal of Primordium. Haven't tried Cradle+Gearhulk yet, but I imagine we would need close to full sets of...
I'm pretty certain the 2 Wastes are meant for Assasins Trophy, Ghost Quarter and to some extent Veteran Explorer. Sure they help vs B2B aswell, but drawing enough of them in time vs miracles requires...
Pretty much this. There might be reason to play Forcefield in place of bridge as it's better vs Infect, which can be a problematic matchup unless you get an early Chalice/Ballista. Also Forcefield...
Took the below list to my LGS for a small 20-ish people tournament, 4 rounds and a 3-0-1 finish.
The maindeck is geared for the grindy matchups, which have a big metagame presence in my area....
First timer here.
Played a 4x Karn MD version (no golem) of this to a 3-1 finish at my lgs this week. The loss (albeit a close one) , was vs a control deck, sweepers plus standstill and...
