Are we talking about Legacy without deathrite in general now? It doesn't make sense to discuss this in a vacuum imo. If deathrite got banned I'd probably go with Nimble Mongoose and RUG colors (maybe...

Well guys, I'm back after durdling in BUG land because I was frustrated about all the stupid lock pieces people play nowadays. I had to learn again that you just lose to Jace though when you're...

I would agree that storm is a bad matchup preboard, but postboard is an entirely different matter: We're loaded to the brink with disruption. In my experience Deathrite is like a little hate bear, we...

Dylan Donegan doesn't play Pyromancer (you see that in his sb he doesn't play therapy but thoughtseize). That means he also doesn't have probe. He played more Anglers, Thought Scours and at least 2...

I hope you didn't sideboard pithing needle for food chain but for walking ballista

What does G/W stand for? Your meta seems fair, I'd definitely recommend 2 TNN.
As for stifle vs. therapy: Stifle is like waaaaay better against 4c-control and lands, but is barely worth it against...

Played in a league yesterday. Whereas in the league above I faced delver and combo, midrange was the name of the program that day. I lost to (soothsaying) Miracles by making 2 misplays while keeping...

Went 5-0 (10-2-1) in a league the other day with my list. I'm posting this because somebody was asking about a stifle build that was more "Canadian".

I think 1 Probe isn't the worst to keep in in the mirror when you run them anyways. It's an easy way to get 2 tokens out of a YP with only 3 mana before the opponent can kill him.
Personally I...

I've played another 2-mana removal in Fire/Ice when I started playing delver and the 2 mana really really hurt, especially in the mirror.
Edict's upside is that it can kill Gurmag and TNN, Abrade...

Angler, TNN and Bitterblossom all require different answers which could be the path to victory against 4c (deluge is often times pretty shitty against Angler).
Against Miracles it was way tougher...

That could indeed be a pretty good card against them. Probably a bit better than Winter Orb since it doesn't get hit by K-Command.

Problem is that it's really only good against this deck, against...

Imo there isn't a single matchup where you should board out DRS, even in matchups where on paper he looks lackluster:
Sure he won't get many spells vs. D&T, but the mana he provides helps fighting...

As a rule of thumbs you should always play drs on t1. There's often this "applying pressure" argument but actually DRS is as much damage as damage deals on average after 1 turn: 2. The upside of...

In my experience in order to win against 4c-control without playing it yourself you nowadays have to either:
- play a combo deck fast enough that their lacks of Daze and their clunky snapcasters...

Congrats on the feature match, Steven!
Given that you put it up here I'll analyze it a bit, I know you can take it: :wink:

I have a buddy playing lands and think I have a pretty good understanding of the matchup (regular RG vs. stifle grixis).

Having tested Null Rod in this matchup I came to the conclusion that it's...

I haven't tested Liliana herself but any 3-mana noncreature spell that's not an instant is very hard to resolve against D&T and vs. Delver decks in my experience, especially if it's double black....

I don't like Jitte for 2 reasons:
The first one is: It's 4 mana. Especially against those fast tempo-decks like Grixis and Burn that can be really expensive when your opponent just bolts the...

I think a 1-of Hydroblast in the sideboard is a very nice thing to have. Personally I don't like all 4 wastelands against burn since it's basically a spell that prevents 2 PoP damage, against any...

You want to board out your removal spells, save for perhaps 1-2 bolts of potential lavamancer, as well as your TNN if you play one. The next cut would be Gurmag Angler though that one can be quite...

Don't let the name mislead you, the newest 4-Angler build gets discussed there in the most recent posts. ...

@Stevestamopz: Thanks for trying out my list. I would be curious as to how the Marsh Casualties/Diabolic Edict turned out. In my experience one of the strengths of the heavier black commitment are...

Sooo... why are you writing this? Your list seems pretty standard, do you have any report on how the deck plays out in your metagame? Questions or opinions on specific cards?

A questions that...

No bad feelings :wink:
I feel like Spell Pierce and Spell Snare can be counted at least somewhat as "creatures" in the "fair" matchups. Whether you counter an actual removal spell, snapcaster mage,...
