Hi,

I'd like to discuss four different matchups, I am having some trouble with.

This is my list and my sideboard with one open Slot for reference:

4 Deathrite Shaman
4 Delver of Secrets...

Your boarding plan against Sneak Attack is alright.
However, I don't like hybrid lists like the one you are running. I would aim for more consistency. My advice would be either to go with the...

Hi.
After some more testing and musing about the deck, I have brought up an updated list.
Recent changes to the one in my opening post are:

Maindeck:
- 3 Thought Scour
- 1 DTT
+ 1 Pyromancer...

I was playing my take on Grixis Delver ("RUGstyle" with 4 Stifle).

Confirmed. PirateKing sent me to walk the plank.
Good luck to all of you still competing and a shout-out to Jelly for hosting this.

The Mentormiracles list piloted by Claudio (B88 on this forum) to win the last Legacy GP had 4 Mentor (+ 2 Snapcaster) as the only win conditions.
At first I was sceptical, too. But Mentor is so...

Hey guys!

Lately I have been trying to toss Monastery Mentor in a lot of different decks. It all started with the ovbious MiraclesMentor, then EsperMentor, followed by DeathbladeMentor. All had...

I lost to Holo-rip 1-2.

So you don't board out the Counterbalances vs Deathblade anymore like you once suggested in your Miracles primer on scg?
Is it because Deathblade doesnt run Confidant anymore so we dont need Swords...

Scenario:
Player A casts an instant and passes priority. He has one untapped land.
Player B casts Flusterstorm targeting the instant.
Player A asks player B if he passes priority. The answer is...

Hi. I would like to discuss some general boarding strategies with you. I think I have covered most of the tier 1 decks (except for elves) so I would like to focus on some of the established decks.
I...

Doomwake Giant discussion:
Thats an almost scarry coincidence, because i also stumbled over this card a few days ago, thinking it might have a place in the deck, while i was browsing magiccards.info...

Congrats for going 4-0. However, I wanted to point out that playing any number of Thunderous Wrath (TW) in a monored burn shell is always wrong.
Here is why (considering you play 1 TW maindeck for...

@Hisa: Emrakul is a solid win condition in this type of deck because its uncounterable, insurmountable and basically wins on the spot when hardcasted. There is no other card that is capable of doing...

I took this deck to a local tourney and ended up with two wins two losses and one draw. One of the matches I lost was against Punishing nic fit. It wasn't the decks fault because I punted hard....

@Arianrhod: Nice Report and interesting list.
I wonder if Vraska should get played instead of the new Garruk if the main purpose is to kill planeswalkers. Im always a bit sceptical on cards with...

Here is a tricky one for you: If your meta is full of Death and Taxes and Maverick but also full of burn (and the rest is something blue-based) how would you change manindeck and sideboard taking...

Regarding my GBW Walker-List on Page 326 I have to disagree here. The deck is already pretty light on removal. In fact my list contains 3 Deed. That's it. Being the control deck we need to have more...

I'm currently testing a G/B/W version with heavy emphasis on walkers. Also starring: Academy Rector
So far testing looks promising. The deck is so much fun to play.
Nothing is better than using...

While browsing the list of zenitable multicolored creatures I found this one:

Ghave, Guru of Spores

It might find a place in GBw-Builds.
Ghave is a bit mana-intensive but hey - we use...

Hi.
I have been working on this deck for quite some time because I love MonoBlackControl but I always hated it's slowness.
Like NicFit, my deck tries to abuse Veteran Explorer and Cabal Therapy to...

That was already discussed a few pages back.

I really dont get why everyone tries to fix the combo match-up, because it is not fixable without adding subpar cards (like Thoughtseize). I recommend...

The same is true for Cradle. I really dont get, why everyone plays it in multiples.

A few suggestions for the "speed variant":

- Playing with only 19 lands two of which are Serra`s Sanctums which dont net you anything Turn 1 or 2 is really supbar.
Sanctum is great in...

Have you tried Skyhunter Skirmisher? I know that it is a bit hard to cast, but it is pretty nuts combined with your equipment and especially with Miror Entity.

Moat is indeed a very strong card....
