    Re: Ruby Storm

    Based on a quick goldfish test:

    1) MD 1x Grapeshot might be legit, since we can just focus on filling the graveyard a bit and then escape cast Grapeshot a few times in a row with Underworld Breach...

    Re: Nonstandard exclusives in legacy

    Not 100% true.

    Most of the Legacy player base seems to favor Grixis midrange/control over Sultai midrange/control currently.

    I personally see this more as a "flavor of the month" thing in the...

    True-Name Nemesis and Shardless Agent are powerful cards from Sultai control/midrange colors you had left out. Not all of the BUG stuff in your list really compliments each other in the same shell,...

    Re: Commander 2018 Info and Spoilers

    Grenzo, Dungeon Warden seems to have grindy creature based synergy with Gyrus. For some MtG formats, you could probably build a card advantage engine around them.

    Re: Commander 2018 Info and Spoilers

    My initial thought was Gyrus x=0, next turn attack, with trigger on the stack cast Entomb, get Gigantomancer, swing for 14 using 2B mana (Entomb + 2x Gigantomancer activation). But that's still far...

    Re: Commander 2018 Info and Spoilers

    Gyrus is a "Jund" 3 mana 3/3 creature which generates additional damage and potentially card advantage (e.g. via EtB or leaves battlefield triggers) every time it attacks, and has a "virtual kicker"...

    Re: [DTB] UWx Miracle Control

    If you want to profit from card disadvantage, you should be running Ensnaring Bridge somewhere in the 75. But that trick is better suited for either Helm-RiP-Line combo or SnT-Omniscience-Griselbrand...

    Re: [Deck] MonoU OmniTell

    I agree that Grixis has access to a lot of toys, and toys are nice. However, the weakness of running a Grixis manabase is exposing yourself to a lot of nonbasic land hate. Wasteland, Blood Moon, Back...

    What are your thoughts about Magus of the mind? seems like post Griselbrand win more to me. Has it ever been good for you as the first animation target? Seems like a lottery machine without storm.
