There's great players that swear by the green splash and great players that play Grixis. The best option is just having all the duals you would need regardless :tongue:

You won't notice the difference between 1 and 2 red duals in 1 night of testing but over many many games. It's entirely possible to only need that extra red land once every hundred games, but if that...

You can cut a Volc for a mire, you want 8 fetches for sure, and you don't need 3 red duals. If you have access to all other fetches, then tarn is strictly better than misty as it can fetch your...

There are always gonna be games where you win without your sideboard cards, but there are also going to be games that are unwinnable without them. Data like this takes way more than one night of...

I too have made big plays with my storm deck.

I think your boarding is fine. I still don't feel like the matchup is that bad, and I believe it's closer to even than players make it out to be, but I find it can depend on factors that are out of...

Quick question to anyone. What, in your opinion, do this deck's percentages look like vs. Eldrazi? I always felt like the matchup wasn't that lobsided and depended a lot on who gets to be on the play...

You spent a good portion of the last page ranting about how inconsistent it is to be running singletons of each business spell over double petition or double PiF, doesn't 61 cards also make the deck...

People run singletons instead of duplicates because ANT is a Tutor based deck and players want to have the best option more often. Just because you have issues with Empty doesn't mean it's bad or...

You're talking like Double Petition is the standard. A lot of us wouldn't even consider it. I can name several scenarios where I'd rather have Empty in hand, like if my hand can only produce 4-5...

You play an Empty in the board right? Playing one main is fine, and it's nice when you want a line that goes off for 6 mana, or even 4 mana if you draw it. What's there not to understand about a...

Ground seal does not turn off PiF. PiF doesn't target, you just flash back the rituals.

You should go for PiF over ad nauseam in a vacuum, as PiF is deterministic.

I would not keep either of these hands. The first hand relies too much on ponder to find another land drop as well as miltiple rituals and if that ponder whiffs, you're just dead.

I don't keep...

I don't feel like Ground Seal would get you there vs. Reanimator decks anyway, so you can just bring in the Flusterstorm and Surgical and call it a day.

I could see cutting the Push and the Grudge for another Tendrils and another Flusterstorm or a Surgical. If you're looking for a card that answers both Leovold and DnT, Rending Volley is good, but...

If there's no Chalice decks in your meta, I don't see the need for Decay, Grudge, Echoing, and Hurkyl's. What matchups did you have in mind when you included these cards? I think there are better...

If you're talking about the SB Chrome Moxen, I've tried it and I'm not a fan. I'd rather play more reactive sideboard cards than board in Chrome Mox to try to get under hate. I think the rest of his...

Is this the reason this thread has been less active than it has been in the past? I never really frequent the facebook group, as it requires me to actually be on facebook.

Togores literally posted a list last page that had that setup.

@Togores, how would you board against stoneblade with the most recent list you posted?

You play more than 2 preordains when you don't want that rain of filth or chrome mox that you mentioned. It was more common in the past.

Sorry to derail any conversation, but I had planned on posting this at some point.

Top 8’d a local EE trial last weekend with 73/75 Kai’s GP list:

4 Lion's Eye Diamond
4 Lotus Petal
3 Cabal...

Nice article. I agree, trop is not really a stretch on the mana base and if you want an effect like xantid or decay, just run green.

It does an okay impression, but if you want that effect Xantid is just better. Against show and tell and reanimator, xantid allows you to cast your cantrips freely every turn since you don't need to...

Silence effects are good against stack based interaction, so decks with stifle/spell snare/pierce/force etc, being particularly great if your opponent is holding spell snare and stifle. Besides...
