Slivers being printed soon. I don't see any ones worth playing yet, but perhaps this deck could see a resurgence?
After being absent from the Magic scene for the last couple years, I thought I'd update my mono blue Pauper deck (mostly just adding Delver).
It's only going to be played against my friends'...
I suppose TT vs AK depends on a couple factors.
1. How many copies you see each game. This looks only at the CA generation.
TT out-CAs AK on the first flashback; TT creates immediate CA, AK...
A couple thoughts:
Think Twice is better than Accumulated Knowledge.
Here's a chart/graph I made: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/1156/ttvsak.png
TT alternates between cantripping and...
A free counter that any deck can run? Absolutely ridiculous.
Hits Vial, Lackey, Path/StP, Nacatl and co, Hierarch, BoP, Mom, elves, Signal Pest, Thoughtseize/Duress/Inquisition, Spell...
I think BBBB is too hard for a splash to handle. Mono black lets us have Gatekeeper, Hymn, Nighthawk, and the new instant-speed edict.
Good points. With Canceler eliminating the need for sac outlets, a good portion of the deck is freed up for consideration of better, more one-sided control options. I'm not too experienced, so take...
I enjoyed watching this, thanks. If anyone has more narrated matches, please post them!
I'm not entirely convinced about Chrome Mox. The times it's a dead draw seem to balance the rare explosive...
My $0.02, based on the math: It takes an EXTREMELY long time for the thinning effects of fetches to become significant, and even then their usefulness is highly debatable. If you're running monoR,...
61 is never a good idea.
Here's my list. It's not too much different, but I'm trying out 3 Pers.
Considering -1 Hymn +1 GftT.
I like TS > IoK > Duress, but it's killed me a couple times.
no sb...
Thanks TJM, explained a lot.
Thoughts about Ancient Tomb? An extra turn's worth of mana sounds well worth the cost, cuz most of the time you're fast enough that it won't matter. It's not an...
As a new player to Legacy/Goblins, this guide was very helpful. Since my last post got deleted for some reason, I'll say thanks again for all the good work.
Thoughts (for anyone to answer):
I...
same as with other wrath effects, I'm guessing. Not overextending, holding Ringleaders, Lightning Crafter, mana denial, and killing them quickly.
MWM for Zoo
WW for Dread, Enchantress, Survival, and Dredge - basically anywhere a big creature (ie Iona, Nought, Progenitus) might show up by themselves.
I noticed "enchantment removal", "combo...
Playing casually on MWS, I just got brutally murdered by Vesper Green (mentioned in the article here: http://mtgsalvation.com/1140-thoughtseizing-the-opportunity-vesper-green.html - it's like Eva...
Don't like storm-based wincons?
Is Emrakul better than NO-Prog?
My list (minus Skullclamp to be Legacy-legal):
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Nettle Sentinel
4 Heritage Druid...
jrw was referencing the article from the week before (http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/legacy/20158_Insider_Information_Goblins_in_Legacy.html - where I assume Goblins were talked about, people...
I'm p new, so take what I say with a lot of salt. Here're my thoughts:
Goblins aren't the MOST explosive deck out there, and in many cases, it's absolutely essential to keep the opponent off...
I was just about to post my super-budget version (~$5 using the Low prices on magiccards.info, about $14 to actually buy on blackborder.com. without the darn clouds of faeries and faerie conclave...
Cool story:
Opponent plays Oblivion Ring targeting my Arcbound Worker (idk why). In response, I Vial in a Ravager, then use its ability to sac Arcbound Worker, getting me a +1/+1 counter and...
Even with Basilisk Collar I'd rather have it on Sharpshooter. Overall I think equipments are very weak in Goblins due to high costs, Goblins' lack of evasion, and dilution of the deck (making...
Say I'm new and missed the first 131 pages of in-depth single card discussion. Where can I find a summary of the pros/cons to certain choices? Something like a primer that goes over matchups,...
Hey,
Here's my Rb list that I've been tinkering around with. Mine's a pretty aggro-heavy combo-light meta, so I run 4 WW's and Gempalms (considering going down to 3 to put Stingscourger MD..) ...
Right now, I think I prefer Banefire to Grapeshot as a primary wincon due to a bad run-in with Prismatic Strands. It's not too good for the backup plan of going aggro though, since you have to run...
