Hello Painters. After like two years away from the game, I started playing this deck again several weeks ago. I’m still getting my bearings back having played five or six local Houston tournaments...

Whatup y'all? It's been a while.

Unfortunately I have not had time to play magic for months, but my friend told me to take a look at Daretti.

First off, I like Jack's point about the new...

Jack, are you running the exact same list as the SCG / GP?

Hey guys, long time no post.

Things have been busy for me but I have to say congrats to you Jack and Seth on the last SCG! And for continuing to refine the white splash...seems good.

Nicely done Mr. Saurez!

Nice, seems like more people being playing that Painter. I have an afternoon off today so I can finally post something.

I've played maybe four or five tournaments in the last two months and the...

Do it Esper! Mirror match action.

It is crazy though how the combination of promo Recruiters and other cards' constantly rising prices have made iPainter "affordable".

The bottom line with Looting is that it is card disadvantage unless you support it with active Welders or Squee or something. I think you want 2 or more Welders before considering Looting.
...

I haven't been able to play very much recently, but I did make it to the local tourney yesterday. I had tried Firebolt in the last two or three events I attended, but this time I went back to 3 Magma...

Hey guys. Sorry I've been away for so long, but work won't allow magic too much right now.

I wanted to post about Young Pyromancer though. I could see him in a Looting build.

Looks cool.

Would it be worth it to add a third Wish and move the single Inkmoth Nexus to the SB? Also, how important do you think the second Ledgewalker is? Dryad Arbor seems amazing in this...

Cutting mana, especially fast mana, against Storm seems bad. First-turn Thorn of Amethyst (or Trinisphere) is THE IDEAL play against them unless you're playing Mindbreak Trap (for mono-red builds at...

Not a bad call against Storm. I have always kept the Stones in for the potential quick combo but we should prevent them from winning as a first priority. I'm going to test this when possible.

Malchar, Jet is still my default choice for burn but I'm testing Firebolt to see if it will make enough of a difference against stuff like Goblins and Elves.

Against Storm, I automatically take...

Not bad GP performances Cedric and Phoenix.

Cedric, your list seems pretty all-in on the core iPainter plans. Nice and pure.

I tend to share Phoenix’s concern about running out of gas and agree...

Good luck to iPainters in Strasbourg!

Today, I tried Firebolt in place of Magma Jet at a 28-person tourney here in Houston and got top 4. I liked it a lot actually and was able to get several...

@the Duressed - the SB plan I posted for Sneak and Show is pretty close to what you're doing, but I definitely agree with thebastard2 about Jaya. I think there are other things you could take out...

Jandax, if you've been playing TES a bunch, I'd suggest trying to fit Thorn of Amethyst in the SB if possible. I have found a set of Thorns very helpful in a variety of matchups aside from Storm too...

Phoenix, in your build maybe the Moxen are enough and Petal is overkill? You don't play Welder so Petal won't provide synergy there either.



What other re-started iPainter threads are you...

GoblinZ, if you drop to 3 City, you might consider adding a Petal and running the 2 Mox, 1 Petal arrangement in phoenix4's list. I have liked Petal as a 1-of to complement the Stompy. The 2 Bolt + 2...

Nice GoblinZ. What's you list?

@Moomba - I have never felt compelled to try Gitaxian Probe because its effect doesn't seem mission-critical and I don't know what it would replace. On the other...

Here's the link to the new thread.

My approach to iPainter is pretty conservative I guess. Since I don’t have as much time for mtg as I’d like and I want to take familiar lists to large tournaments every so often, I tend to opt for...

By now, most Legacy players probably know a bit about Imperial Painter. But the deck requires a set of Imperial Recruiters and doesn’t run Brainstorm, so why would you even consider building it?
...

Hey y'all, just a heads up - I'm going to start a new iPainter thread. I finally finished a primer that will hopefully consolidate some of the important deck info and encourage more discussion.
