Question for those of you playing the 4x ghost quarter build: when playing against a deck with 3 or fewer basics (ANT, czech pile, reanimator... Etc), do you prioritize destroying basics with ghost...
Gitaxian Probe does alot of little things for the deck:
-triggers pyromancer for free
-sorcery card type to flip delver
-fills the graveyard to fuel delve for gurmag angler
-improves the...
There was a gentleman at my LGS that played the deck with monastery swiftwspear instead of deathrite shaman and it wasn't half bad.
Yes. Several times and to the same result: too slow, but feel free to try it for yourself.
Depths got some attention from minnie in his article:

Nothing that hasnt already been discussed here but it got...
Heaven // Earth might have some potential
Round 1: Aluren
Cavern Harpy will block forever if you don't find pithing needle or sejiri steppe. I remember Brainstorming into a crop rotation, pithing needle, and surgical extraction at one point...
@Negator77 thanks for the explanation on wasteland. I took your 75 to a 3-0 finish last week. There was never a situation where wasteland and pithing needle conflicted. I'm sold on this list man....
I liked the explanation of how you ended up on bug instead of straight b/g. I've been going through the same frustrations that you talked about with the fast mana cards that you cut in favor of mox...
Since you're already willing to support this plan with a 3rd color, does Engineered Explosives have any merit? Ballista seems sweet, EE is probably not better but it could be part of the supporting...
It hasn't been enough lately. Both games I played against DnT at the open this weekend, null rod did nothing either because my opponent drew cards that didn't care about the rod and beat my face in...
I didn't realize these videos would be of paper gameplay! Good stuff :D
I'd lead with thoughtseize. The subgame is how to make it to the next turn with your other discard spells. The more of them you cast, the more likely you are to keep them from killing you. The only...
I've been coming to the same conclusions about a lot of the stuff you just touched on.
Into the north is the worst tutor in the deck and I'm going to experiment with cutting it for 2x sylvan...
Depends on the matchup, board state, cards in opponents hand, and if you have some number of dorks in your hand to deploy. More often than not, a successful surgical extraction on depths dooms your...
1x Karakas: sneak and show and lands are in your meta. Karakas with needle forces sneak to dig for answers while you work on assembling the combo
0-1x pithing needle (if you have three main, put the...
I like sacrament quite a bit. It seems fine as a way to remove answers to the combo from both miracles and death and taxes but it also has legs against storm. I'll be testing a 2 of this week.

Living wish is a recurring conversation on this forum that should be pinned somewhere in the primer. @apple713 may be able to give a more detailed answer on it (has answered this question more than...
Vines and NotW are dead if you haven't made the token already. This also protects your lands which is unique and somewhat interesting.
So this just got spoiled:

Is 2 mana too expensive for this type of effect? It protects the combo in multiple ways but i think its too...
I can't argue with results which Negator continues to put up. I like the brainstorm alot, aside from it being gas, it helps you keep things like sejiri steppe and bojuka bog in your library. I like...
Congrats! That drop of honey is spicy, what do you side it in against?
After playing against burn on wednesday, I have to disagree with this. I tried chalices and regretted it. I opened hands where playing the chalice would have locked a discard spell and a tutor in my...
While I'm on the fence about crucible, I would like to point out that the use of crucible isn't exclusively to recur GQ. Spamming the combo off of crucible has worked well for me before, and being...
