Congrats on beating Tendrils with a turn 2 Thalia game 1. Very impressive.
Decay is infinitely better against Delver decks than Show and Tell. Good luck getting SnT to resolve against Force of Will, Spell Pierce, Daze, and red blasts. If you Decay their piece of grave hate...
I thought of this long ago and was doing it before anyone else, with a Trop and Bayou main. The only thing that sucks is if one of those is your only land in your opener. But Decay is so worth it...
How does Aetherling do against Counterbalance with Terminus floating on top? :D
Pithing Needle on Metalworker doesn't work as it is a mana ability.
Burn is not a bye. It can easily kill you quickly even if you have a turn 1 Chalice on 1. Happened to me quite a few times. Even if you get Batterskull or Wurmcoil they can still win. Skullcrack in...
I love Whipflare to death in this deck. Never lost a match to Elves. Zealous Persecution is not even close in this matchup. It does not kill Deathrite Shaman, Nettle Sentinel, or any Elf if an Elvish...
Time to get rid of Karakas, obviously.
How did you lose to Bug Delver?
I always run Angel of Despair or Ashen Rider maindeck to deal with problems like this or Ensnaring Bridge, Energy Field, etc. But for people that don't do this it's true that Karakas is more of a...
Considering the deck that was being discussed was Death and Taxes, which has NO clock, I stand by my original statement. You will indeed be able to draw many cards by getting Griselbrand regardless...
Doesn't matter. You can still draw a million cards in response to Karakas. If you can't win after that, you're probably not very good.
Never take out Griselbrand.
Here is my list that I've used for a while. Lots of auto wins against various decks. I haven't been able to test much against fast combo but I'm trying this sideboard for now. I know the 1-of Teeg is...
With Greaves attached to Metalworker, you cannot target him with Staff of Domination. So you need another dude in play for this to work. Don't fall into this trap! :cool:

Playing a turn 2 Standstill is not the objective. Playing a Standstill in a situation where we either have strong board advantage or can leverage the Standstill into a significant resource advantage...
Just beat a guy on cockatrice who played turn 1 Blood Moon on the play lol. I had one basic forest in my opening hand and never drew another one, but Birchlore Rangers and Nettle Sentinel best friend...
This, times infinity. EVERY TIME.
Julian I read both your articles and you are one impressive son of a gun. You beat Miracles like a million times with Elves and almost always 2-0! You're a boss! God of Gaea
I agree with you here. I normally find playing against RUG a chore but with Affinity we can just blow them out by reloading with Thoughtcast after they expend their hand on our threats, many of which...
Spell Pierce doesn't blank any of your own cards. Chalice can. For example Chalice on zero could be good against combo decks that use artifact mana but it also shuts off an unacceptable number of our...
Definitely board in Decay; it kills everything relevant they have (particularly Engineered Explosives, gah) and their counters do nothing against it. In my experience Scavenging Ooze is a beast...
12 post manabase in MUD... yes, just scoop to a deck that is a bye for MUD, and also scoop to Wasteland.
Warned for flaming, flames removed. This is your second warning. A third warning will...
