Thank you for making a primer! It looks fantastic and is an amazing start! I'm going to offer up the deck list I've been running for ~4-5 months now that has been netting me consistent 3-1 or 4-0...

Elves.

So, I really like your list a TON. I am a huge fan of TNN as well as Tombstalker > Gurmag in a lot of match-ups. I am having a hard time with Spell Snare viability in my meta and was curious what...

@ashent, Thanks for the great report! I am running a really similar list to you except +2 TNN.

How is the meta in Seoul generally?

I imagine there is a decent American presence at the LGS's...

I imagine Baleful Strix has to help vs Angler + Goyf?

SB Blood Moon in a 4 color deck, MAD MAN!

I wonder how good this is? It fascinates me..

hook it up with the list :)

4 DRS
3 Baleful Strix
3 Snapcaster Mage
2 Leovold
2 TNN

4 Force of Will
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
2 K Command

Went 5-4 at GP Vegas,

Played against:
Aluren 0-2
Jund 2-0
DnT (Magus) 1-2
Infect 2-1
Infect 2-0
Burn 2-1
ANT 0-2

I am cutting Hymn's for the GP and going back to Liliana + Tseize.

and I like Night's Whisper in grindy control matchups

Mine's similar to @HSCK,

4 DRS
3 Baleful Strix
3 Snapcaster
2 TNN
2 Leovold

2 JTMS

Made some changes to my list to try out after reading @HSCK's post. I did (maindeck) -1 Liliana of the Veil -1 Thoughtseize +2 Hymn and (sideboard) -1 Engineered Explosives -1 Marsh Casualties +2...

I can really dig the idea of Hymn's in this deck, you just have to make sure your mana base supports it correctly. I think for our deck it needs to be something like:

9 Fetches
3-4 Underground...

Do you run 4 Underground Sea's in that build?

You know what's great against Punishing Fire? ~~ Leovold ~~

I find Shaman to be the best creature in this deck. It's great vs a number of combo decks, allows you to power out Leovold or TNN on Turn 2, helps vs burn, fixes our 4 color mana base. I can't...

I think that's actually quite a good record. *cough* TNN is great vs delver *cough*

What are you taking out vs SnT?

Cut a Strix +1 TNN <3

I agree, I think 3 Snaps is the way to go

4-0 last night
played against:

UWr Control 2-0
Burn 2-1
UWr Control 2-0
Dark Maverick 2-1

Could have went 2-0 against Burn but I didn't realize the interaction of having Leovold + Vendilion...

+1

oh you're right I also bring in jitta - strix has been surprisingly good vs elves, it allows you to connect uncontested with jitta and it also punishes them if they try to go a fair-midrange game...

I think we're on the same page there - the other creature based decks like Death & Taxes/Goblins(lol who plays this?)/Maverick etc are no problem for us.

Main I have:
2 koligan's command
2 fatal push
1 lightning bolt
2 abrupt decay

in the board I have:
1 engineered explosives
1 marsh casualties
1 toxic deluge
