I am really enjoying this version (11-4 on MTGO):
1 bayou
3 forest
1 island
4 misty rainforest
4 polluted delta
1 swamp
2 tropical island
2 underground sea
2 verdant catacombs

Haven't seen any activity here in a while. How are people feeling about this deck now that the post-miracles metagame is taking shape?

When piloting BUG Aluren, I found that the BUG and Grixis Delver matchups are extremely good, RUG is close, and UR is negative, as you described.

First thing is to play around price of progess as...

I am running 2 decays and am very happy with it at the moment. It gives outs to opponents' G1 Leos, back to basics, etc. I have 2 thoughtseize and only one parasitic strix.

My quick read on your metagame is it is ok for BUG aluren but not outstanding.
The good matchups for you in that list are: Grixis Delver, stoneblade, and BUG midrange.
The close matchups are:...

With top gone, what changes are people planning for the short term?

I run BUG. I expect more fast combo, so I am thinking I want 2 thoughtseize main, along with my forces, and a bit of extra combo...

Sorry if there was confusion here, I mean the cantrip and predict versions that have now maxed out snapcasters and gone to 4 reb effects in the board, with 1-2 EtA as their main win con, as opposed...

How are folks responding to miracles new configurations with 3-4 snapcaster and 4 REB effects in the board? I am finding this one much tougher than other forms of miracles and I haven't found a...

I use the prowlers in that spot. Jittes would improve the burn matchup but against most other creature decks where jittes would be brought in, I don't think you need the help.

Awesome! Thank you for the much better report than I could remember. I didn't take notes other than lifepad and my memory of the weekend was more overshadowed by vintage on Sunday. Wraiths out of the...

Played EE6 in Baltimore with my BUG Aluren deck. It was a great choice. Cashed the tournament despite an extreme variance loss and two rounds with questionable lines on my part leading to loses. This...

I would add that, non-recruiter version, besides being a generally good card, Leovold is a nice piece for protecting/insulating the win when you attempt to win via combo. If I have Leo and harpy but...

Was expecting to see a room full of delver and BUG midrange, which there was, so I played a pretty stock BUG Aluren version at the classic this weekend. Ended up 5-3. Two Fourth Bridge Prowlers and...

GSZ and zenith don't interact favorably in either direction (cascade doesn't trigger when shardless is put into play, and cascading into GSZ is terrible), so that cut makes sense if you want zenith....

What do you all consider the pros and cons of the BUG ponder Aluren verses the Recruiter Aluren builds? Any significant differences between that white verses red recruiter lists in terms of play...
