BW tokens is a fine deck however. Honestly I like inquisition more than thoughtseize too, and that has nothing to do with a budget.
The O rings do look quite bad though. I used to run detention...
My thoughts: Ith and Bog I cut a long time ago and haven't looked back. Ith is just a bad removal spell in a deck that has too much removal, and Bog is only needed in like 1 matchup which I never...
In all honesty I am not an expert in this deck type. Fairly new to it myself.
I like 5-6 pieces of removal + Liliana. The vindicate/Darkblast is the extra 2 I run at the moment because the less 3...
The card selection isn't worth the card disadvantage.
Basically I play the list in a very similar fashion to Esperblade. Which is to say a very slow and grindy control deck. If you compare the two...
Signature. That's the little link below every post I make.
I updated my list and have been having surprising success with it. You guys can find it in my sig if you're interested.
The nice thing is grim lavamancer is such a beating when almost every deck...
I like where this thread is going but i'm wondering if black has been easy on the manabase. Trying to play 1 drops in 4 different colors seems like manabase suicide. Lot alone the crazy people trying...
White in most Rock lists I see is basically limited to Swords to Plowshares and KOTR. The swords really aren't needed anymore since abrupt decay is better, and maelstrom pulse is really good at the...
I've been rocking the combo in my sideboard in Bant and it has been great. Never tried it in Rock but I did throw the idea out there a few pages back. I do think someone should test it. I'd try it...
Just remember that usually Lingering Souls will be cast twice without giving the opposing player priority. So shaman and ooze can't ever actually target the spell while it is in the graveyard.
I would also board out Thoughtseize since it just gets you closer to burn range, and is kind of a waste of time when you end up grabbing burn spells to protect stuff anyways. The other reason I...
I'm just trying to say that when playing against common decks in the legacy field, especially the decks I thought it would have been great against, I was always underwhelmed with Thrun.
You can...
Honestly if the points I allready made for why I found Thrun to be bad in testing didn't sway you at all then maybe you should just run the card yourself. Oh and Bant runs 23 lands with 4 mana dorks,...
I used to run Thrun in a hexproof Bant type list. Ended up cutting him because it was always better to just wait an extra turn to get Sigarda since Thrun doesn't win a game nearly as easily as...
Maybe i'm wrong and others will disagree but I think it's all about context.
See if someone says a card is great because it dodges almost all of the removal in the format, making a counter...
Some thoughts on a few of your ideas.
1 Mirran Crusader: Let's see he dies to burn and swords to plowshares. So that's like half the removal in the format. In BUG the deck that you really think he...
I disagree. The thing is Snapcaster can be a removal spell and a beater/blocker against aggro or midranged. Which is basically what strix tries to do.
But against combo Snapcaster can be a discard...
The main finisher in Bant is usually Jace TMS, second would go to V Click, and third NO-Pro. DRS and AD don't really touch any of those, and I have been doing fine with Bant against BUG. In fact...
Because Liliana is good against everything, while Garruk is garbage in some matchups. Like combo, pox, affinity, even most tribal.
But in all honesty Liliana is considered a removal spell and...
Yeah I saw that match as well. Played a few games earlier today with a GR sleigh-ish deck and dominated a poor WW/Death and Taxes list with lavamancers. Was reminded of this deck and decided to make...
@AEniesidem
I wouldn't run Loam or Witness in a deck that has Daze and Spell Pierce. A list like that can't hope to grind out lategame matches against decks that are allready build to go long. In...
Isn't the 4 color deck playing a decent amount of basics? More than most Rock lists I think. Plus it was doing well in the coverage today and yesterday. It does seem nice being able to get brainstorm...
My personal testing is that equipment is not very good and is the wrong way to go. It's terrible against combo and sets you up for blowouts against aggro. Spend multiple turns playing stoneforge and...
I have been having some great success with Bant recently and thought I would show off my list and open myself up to some suggestions. Hoping to make this deck as well rounded as possible. I do like...
