  1. Re: BG Lands in the MTGO Legacy Challenge, 4/5/2020, 35th

    The new Lurrus of the dream-den would probably fit your deck well, getting back a library, exploration, reclaimer or drop.
    Think I'll build and try this as well, seems pretty sweet to play :smile:
  2. Re: BG Lands in the MTGO Legacy Challenge, 4/5/2020, 35th

    Thanks for the write-up, that's an interesting build, somewhere between classic Rg and Turbo Depths!
    Just some thoughts, what do you think about boarding in drops versus S&T (surprise as they play...

    Re: [DTB] Turbo Depths

    Using Punishing Fire as a killcon in Lands happens, with 6 manasources (2RRR+grove) and 2 Punishing Fires you do three damage a turn. That's why I don't think Needling Stage will help you win the...

    Re: BUG Delve(-r)

    Interesting, but why no delvers (in the article it isnt mentioned)? Wouldn't a diversified plan between Delvers and Delve-creatures partly counter the vulnerability towards RIP and Leyline?

    Re: [Primer] R/G Lands

    The matchup is favorable, because everything we do (Pfire, manadenial, Chasm/Maze, Marit Lage) is effective against them.
    Still, they can win out of nowhere and you need a decent start of your own....

    Re: Elves - SCG Atlanta Legacy Classic - 7/1/2018

    Well, the dullness is gone, as the recent bannings killed 3 decks youve played against, and affected 2 others (including yours).
    Quite a shake-up, and Maverick and D&T look in good shape in this new...

    Re: [Primer] R/G Lands

    DRS was annoying, but overall the card was probably good for Lands. It made manabases shaky, and made sideboards contain less gravehate. While being very controllable through Pfire.

    Now two of our...
  8. Re: Is 23% of the top spot too much for one deck? How about two?

    The interesting thing about Dark Depths and Thespian's Stage is that they're hard to integrate in a blue shell, because they don't blend well with the cantrip-fetchland minimalism towards landdrops....
  9. Re: Is 23% of the top spot too much for one deck? How about two?

    Dice's point is true though. Usually all DRS decks have an unstable manabase and lack Plows, making the strategy versus all these decks alike: burn DRS, punish the unstable manabase, or swiftly make...

    Re: Is time for reserved list-less legacy yet?

    Feels like they are experimenting around it though (like Drop vs Nodes).
    As for duals (fetchable lands that produce 2 colors), they already printed 3 cycles of crippled duals (Cinder Glade,...

    Re: Is time for reserved list-less legacy yet?

    I'd be happy already with a duallike reprint, functionally different enough to avoid RL-fuss, but with a comparable powerlevel.
    Something like Copperline Gorge, but with forest-mountain type to...

    Re: [Primer] R/G Lands

    People probably pick Lands because it preys on Grixis Delver and Czech Pile, the most commonly played decks. And those decks have pushed out certain combodecks, making that part of the meta pretty...

    Glimpse only works when a deck is tweaked to abuse it. Elves does that, at the cost of playing 1/1 weenies. Likewise, Lands does that at the cost of playing mostly lands and accelerators. Loam needs...

    I see your point in 4c loam, but what about BG Pox? I’ve never seen it with 4 loams and 4 entombs (because it’s not built to exploit loam). What’s different with Jund Depths?

    4entomb/4loam is the...

    You only need 1 loam or Pfire (with grove) to break the discard symmetry of smallpox/Liliana, so I don't think you should rate all cards solely on this type of cardadvantage. Squee can be discarded...

    Re: Jund Depths

    Why is loam an obvious 4-off? After reading Haas article again (read it 4 years ago too), I still don’t see the answer.
    Because there’s a dedication towards lands? BG pox has that too, 4c loam as...
