Due to some issues IRL, had to let go of the deck. :frown: Most of the pieces actually. Sucks but the Seas and DRS were easiest to let go. Will continue to playtest online though. More power! Will be...

So I just came home from a local charity tourney (all proceeds to be donated to the victims of the super typhoon Haiyan) and finished 2-2. 20 players competed for a foil Misty Rainforest and a GP...

On Glenn Jones' article, he really makes a good argument about a few issues with the deck. But is it true that a lot of European RUG players started losing after making the switch? :tongue:
...

I never really understood why he hated Stifles that much. I'll look for his article on it when I get home. Anyway, I almost never hold up Stufle T1 on the play unless I'm keeping a one lander or if...

I lol'd. I guess of you don't have Goyfs, Werebear's the best sub.:tongue:

Yeah, it is a point I feel we need to discuss more. It happens to me a lot. In a deck likr bUrg that wants to win before our opponents can stabilize, I feel like upping the efficiency of DRS is...

I am convinced with Forked Bolt. I don't think I'll ever swap it with Snare ever again. The possible 2-for-1's is worth playing sorcery speed removal, and I find myself often using instant speed...

I don't like Tarfire simply because we only play 2 Goyfs, and most of our opponents play 4. I've tried Izzet Charm, its a bit too clunky. 1cc removal is what I need. Dismember and Disfigure would...

Well I got 9th. 50-60 players played. Lost to Omnitell (G3 I had Pyroblast and double FoW but lacked a blue card, he had a Pact anyway for the 2nd FoW) and then lost my win and in against Junk (mull...

Time to go! I hope the Pithing Needle is worth it. I'm not really concerned with the Forked Bolt. Its great! The additional removal + reach + possible 2 for 1 is really worth it. I just hope I don't...

This is it. I'm taking this baby to a bigger tourney tomorrow. Our "bigger" tourneys make up 50-60 people at most. 70-80 if we're lucky. I have 2 byes, so in 6 rds I just need to win my first 2 (go...

I used to play Nic Fit extensively. The deck is good against tempo, and Ashiok can't do squat to fight that. The deck's fat creature density is too low to be able to hit with Ashiok reliably. Stifle...

That's it, I'm sold. I'm getting Ashiok in. :tongue:

Anyway, for the bUrg VS the world argument:

Deathrite Shaman has warped Legacy into a format wherein there are only 2 types of "decks to...

Going to a big event this weekend. 1st place gets 1 U. Sea, 1 Tundra, 1 Volcanic Island and 1 Tropical Island. :laugh:

Anyway, I have 2 byes for the event and its expected to go 7 rounds. Below is...

OK so at first I laughed at this. After pondering over it for a while though, Rancor sounds kinda cool. :cool:

Well I currently like the utility it provides. It is not "tempo-ish" removing a DRS with it, but it catches a lot of spells that we would otherwise FoW (LotV, Jace, Elspeth, etc...) and the looting...

I've replaced the 3rd Snare for an Izzet Charm. Haven't tested much except against Elves. It is a great utility to have.:smile:

Went 2-2 in an LGS earlier. Won against Monoblack Control, Bant Tempo(?), then rounds 3 and 4 were both DnT. Lost both in 3 games. All 6 games against DnT were pretty close except the one where I...

I had to edit my post. I meant "Pierce is the way to approach a midgame meta..", not Snare. Well against Goyfs we have our own Goyfs and Abrupt Decay anyway. SFM we have Stifles too. Infernal Tutor,...

I'm starting to think 3 Snares MB is too much. I've been stuck with it a lot recently. I think I might want to go -2 Snare +2 Pierce. I think we have enough answers to 2 drops in Abrupt Decay. Also,...

Yep it is Liliana of the Veil :) Damn b*tch lol. I, unfortunately, was not able to play test much against decks that run her.

Scrubbed at the tourney. :frown: 40-something people showed up.

R1 vs Junk Goodstuff
G1 I drew Fetch, Waste, Stifle, Stifle, Delver, Land, Daze. Needless to say, I wreaked havoc. Secured a win...

Interesting changes to the board. I've been thinking of Golgari Charm myself. The regen thing is good against Abrupt decks, but I can't justify boarding it in just for that since we can't use the...

A couple of things I think about your list:

1) I tried the 3 Pyromancer path (3 DRS, 4 Delver, 3 Goose, 3 Pyro). It was nice, and DRS made dropping it turn 2 with Pierce mana open very viable....

I pretty much agree on Sasan's game plan. If you're on the play, definitely drop a T1 Delver. On the draw I'd almost always prefer to have Snare/Stifle up just in case they drop Thalia/SFM. The early...
