I'm really surprised this deck isn't putting up more and regular positive results and/or people aren't playing it as much as Czech Pile. Midrange BUG is stabler (manawise), it runs Wasteland, and...

This.

I don't play Daze anymore, but that's my favorite part about that card - it's unexpected outside of RUG, and my experience is that post board you can side them out and they will play around...

Hey Mike - fun list, I've been also really enjoying the Goyf + Shaman version lately (though I'm particularly partial to the Creatureless version).

Have you considered Sylvan Library instead of...

DTB BAY-BIE.

In all seriousness, I have been ridiculously impressed with Dark Confidant lately. Other than Deathrite Shaman, anyone have any recommendations on some okay-ish lifegain? I'd like to...

@weaselface

I like the list a lot. Here are some answers to your questions and some additional thoughts:

- You may want to consider cutting back the Ancestral Vision Maindeck or relegating it...

@metronome2charisma: Thanks for the advice, so far dropping the Snapcaster has been great. The deck runs so much more smoothly with an extra land, and considering how mana-hungry this deck can get,...

Regarding Deathrite Shaman:

I am (extremely) slowly learning the awesome value of Deathrite Shaman, but I think it works best in an Aggro-Control Midrange shell. Since Deathrite isn't considered a...

After a brief affair with other archetypes (egad!) I'm back on the BUG "Creatureless" Control track - and I think I've officially found my way back home.

Looking over the more recent deck posts,...

Chikenbok, what's your current build? I know you were testing out Standstill for a little while, but what have you settled on for reliable CA? I love Dark Confidant, but what do you side out for him?...

Given how tight the creatureless version is, what does everyone think Abrupt Decay should replace in the 75 and how many should be used? I'm thinking 2 is the magic number.

Just posted a primer in Developmental Decks for the Shardless version if you're interested. This will keep conversation about it away from here.

I agree, the decks are very different and you can...

I started really digging the Shardless version once I threw the Strixes in - it makes your opponents annoyed.

And I have definitely found that this is a great midrange deck and has beautiful CA. ...

@bilb_o: Yeah, I'm looking forward to trying Vraska out once the dust has settled and she goes down in price. She's way overpriced right now.

@troopatroop: I'm not going to deny that Goblins has...

The cards we're concerned about turn 1 are Lackey, Vial, and Mom. On the draw I hope to keep a hand with FoW and another blue card, or ghastly demise. But there within lies the problem - what other...

I revisited the Shardless version, removing the Snapcasters, Jaces, and Vendilion Cliques and replacing with Baleful Strix, Scavenging Ooze and Wrench Minds. What I found is that this deck needs more...

I've found with the Shardless version that it's more heavily dependent on Brainstorm than "normal" BUG. It's a blast to play because of the cascade mechanic, but it requires a bit more setup before...

I tested the deck out a bit on MWS and went up against Goblins x2, Merfolk, UW Miracles, and Team America Aggro.

First match against Goblins was amazing but I got a ridiculous draw: a 3-lander, 2...

The deck's great and a lot of fun to play. Based on my rather new experience with it, it's incredibly strong against some of the best decks in the format right now. I have had similar results against...

I just went 3-0 and split for first place in a small local weekly Legacy tournament. Forgive my hyper-verbosity, but I was super happy with deck and the result. Here's my list:

I'm really digging this deck and have so far played against RUG Thresh (good matchup), Team America Aggro (bad matchup), Esper Stoneblade (okay matchup), Zombies (bad matchup), Maverick (good...
