    Re: [Deck] bUrg Tempo

    As a friend of Steve and having talked with him about the deck during the tournament, as well as watching him play a couple games when my own matches were done, I can comment about these criticisms....

    Re: [Deck] Turbo Eldrazi

    I'm positive Rock Lee was playing Cloudpost to success before that point in time. TCdecks search appears to be incomplete in this regard.

    Re: [DTB] Blade Control

    And tell me, when exactly do you want to include either effect in your deck over other options, hmm?

    Re: [DTB] Blade Control

    You might want to reevaluate your analysis of this card.

    Does Baleful Strix kill creatures? No. Is it going to remove that pesky Gaddock Teeg? Thalia? Grim Lavamancer? The answer is no. Is...

    These are all quite bold claims. And you think these things...why? Oh, you know these things for facts? I could easily argue (correctly) that all of your statements are false and directly the...

    Re: Archetype Combo-Control

    Well, if you want to get technical, we could go back further in time to the 90's and talk about those control/combo decks too.

    Re: Archetype Combo-Control

    The very first real control/combo hybrid in Vintage was Control Slaver, which could very easily play a control game in it for the long grind but was also capable of going nuts and ending the game on...

  10. Re: The Current Metagame: Junk vs Canadian Threshold

    No worries. We are basically in agreement anyway.



    This is thing...what exactly is a "tempo build" of Junk? It defies the nature of the archetype as well as the nature of a "tempo" deck as...
  11. Re: The Current Metagame: Junk vs Canadian Threshold

    The point is if you're going to go back in time and reference the origin of a deck, it would be best to clarify where its true origin is. PT Junk has its roots, and even the name was used, before...
  12. Re: The Current Metagame: Junk vs Canadian Threshold

    Well, then I suppose now would be a good time to share some history.

    The PT Junk you referred to in the wizards article was in Extended, circa 2002. That was not the beginning of PT Junk. PT...

    Re: [DTB] Blade Control

    Why are you not a fan of playing black? Why is red better than black?

    Also, you are running 7 maindeck 4-drops, which is tremendous. This will undoubtedly hurt you in many games.

    As for...
  14. Re: The Current Metagame: Junk vs Canadian Threshold

    When people talk about a tempo deck, it is often shorthand for what you are describing. It is an overload of the opponent's defenses before they can be established.

    Tempo however is simply time. ...

    RE: The differences between Junk vs Rock

    Junk started out as a deck that was based G/W and has roots in the "toolbox" style of magic. It has a variety of utility cards designed to answer a...
  16. Re: The Current Metagame: Junk vs Canadian Threshold

    That's great, but why are you so quick to pull out your epeen? Do you whip your natural one out in public too? Put it away where it belongs because nobody wants to see it, nor are you talking to...
  17. Re: The Current Metagame: Junk vs Canadian Threshold

    Some things are wrong, and other things are so critically wrong that they must be corrected.

    Counterspells and Discard are both tools one would use to try and control the opponent. That is all...
  18. Re: The Current Metagame: Junk vs Canadian Threshold

    I'm not sure you understand what tempo means, or how it relates to Legacy. The decklist you put in your opening post is most certainly not a tempo-oriented deck.

    Re: [DTB] Blade Control

    Do you know what happens when the blue decks play 3 Force of Will? Sure, they may get a top 8 finish, but they DO NOT WIN. Combo does, as evidenced by GP Ghent where the finals was combo vs. combo....

    2nd place at GP Ghent was an Elf combo deck. Are you sure?

    You might reconsider your position, not just because 99% of the player base disagrees with this, and not just because you were knocked out of your last tournament by combo, but because it seems you...

    Re: Playable or not? Ancestral Knowledge

    Burning Wish is merely one example. If you want to find a card of a different type, then you can splash a different color for the appropriate tutor.

    Furthermore, it is unwise to judge Ancestral...

  24. Re: Countering the Winning Card or countering the Enabler

    What you counter is based in large part upon your strategy, your deck's goals, and timing.

    If you are a very aggressive aggro-control deck, like Merfolk or the RUG Delver lists, then games often...

    Re: Playable or not? Ancestral Knowledge

    It seems as though the only real advantage of Ancestral Knowledge is how it can be safely cast with simple basic Islands.

    In most instances a deck which would want this effect is improved by...
