  1. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I've been testing this list online:

    Land [19]
    2 Polluted Delta
    2 Flooded Strand
    2 Misty Rainforest
    2 Scalding Tarn
    3 Volcanic Island
    3 Tropical Island
    1 Island

    Price of Progress is great against them. Even better when they use Ancient Tomb a few times. A second (or third) Dismember in the board also helps.

    I usually board like this:

    +2 Price of...
  3. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I really like 12 creatures in this deck. Running less than 12 makes you need to cantrip into one, and this deck wants to cantrip into answers. We don't generate card advantage in any way, only by...
  4. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Well, each burn spell has its up and down sides.

    Tarfire:
    + Grows Goyf
    + Instant
    - Only 2 damage

    Forked Bolt:
    + Split damage
    - Sorcery
  5. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Hey guys, what's the consensus about Gitaxian Probe? I've seen some lists in the past with 4, then with 3~2, then none. I think Gitaxian Probe is a double-edge sword, while it can provide vital...
  6. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Hey guys, I've been lurking around this thread for last month. I've played a fair amount of RUG in the past (mainly when Maverick was the deal). After testing several lists posted (both IRL and in...
  7. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Yeah, that seems pretty good. Finding 5 sideboard slots for 4 Dreadnought and 1 Vision Charm shouldn't be hard.

    This could also be used to fight RIP, as Mongoose and Goyf are sucky against it.
  8. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    If Mandrills prove to be successful in playtesting, can we open 3 sideboard slots for Nimble Mongoose, mainly to deal with Miracles? It's by far the most relevant threat in the matchup.
  9. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Playtested against my friend with Merfolks (the new kind, with 4 TNN and Chalice of the Void maindeck) and got DESTROYED. Not even those Red Elemental Blasts could put up a fight against his deck. He...
  10. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I think Hooting Mandrills is a 2-of at best. It also would be better fit in a list that packs the old-school Thought Scour.

    I don't think I'd go below 3 Nimble Mongoose, tho. Swords to Plowshares...
  11. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    @clique

    Double blue isn't a concern, all of our lands can produce blue. Getting to three mana is the problem. But Clique isn't a turn 3 play, most of the times (unless you're facing Stoneforge...
  12. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    After playing with 8-Bolts, Gitaxian Probe and 2/2/2 list, I've been trying something a little different. I call it "7-bolt and a Fairy Tale".

    Lands [18]
    4 Flooded Strand
    4 Polluted Delta
    3...
  13. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    I've tried to jam Gitaxian Probes in Canadian, and after some playtesting, I found it really valuable (was pretty skeptical, at first).

    My latest list, for reference:

    Lands [18]
    3 Flooded...
  14. Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    MUD is a bad matchup, of course. But it's definitely manageable. You have Spell Pierce and Daze live on the play, and Force of Will on the draw. Wasteland for their awful manabase, and removal to...
  15. Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Hey guys, I've been experimenting with the 4 Chain Lightning list, and it has been working pretty well. Playing massive amounts of burn let us save our counterspell for more important stuff. And that...
