    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    Trample is a huge reason why, and immunity to Abrupt Decay is an added bonus. Most of the time comes down for 1 mana, it's simply the more efficient, resilient, and evasive threat.

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    You've got RUG Delver basically winning or at a minimum Top8 of every major event currently; straying from those well-tuned & tested lists is likely just an exercise in lower win%.

    Re: [DTB] U/R Delver

    I think the first Surgical is defensible against White control. Swords to Plowshares is a real beating (less so in UR, but definitely in RUG or Grixis where you're protecting Gurmag or Mangdrills &...

    You're not wrong about the pace of change. We also had a lot of Legacy events in a short period including GP ATL in between two SCG events which drove a ton of testing. Daryl Ayers drove a ton of...

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

    With these decks moving to Hexdrinker over Arcanist, it seems to me that Waterlogged Grove may be the go-to spell land. The deck is more dependent on G than R to win in most games.

    Against some...

    I honestly thought Hexdrinker was completely unplayable but actually the first copy of that card has been quite good so far. I do recommend 1 copy. I've never tried Reclaimer but that card has been...

    Thoughtseize definitely pulls it's weight in the combo matchups, but fetching Badlands or USea early can be very awkward depending on your opening 7. In the post-board games when you know your...

    Three of the top25 decks at the SCG Team Open this weekend were variations on a stifle-less, Dreadhorde Arcanist RUG Delver shell.

    Thanks for the heads up @meite -- this was a good watch. Played out pretty similarly to how I've been doing locally. If only I was as good as Jarvis.. ;)

    Re: [Primer] UB Death's Shadow

    The primary difference is Arcanist is generating mana. With JVP you still have to pay the cost. Flashing back a cantrip with Arcanist so you can make your third land drop and basically have 4 mana...

    The best black spell is Plague Engineer that you gain access to form the splash, imo. TS is whatever and Decay is just a nice hedge in the MD.

    My main issue with UR has nothing to do with Arcanist really, he is a house. I'm struggling with YP being lackluster in the face of W&6 being everywhere and the deck feeling too threat-light without...

    Noticed Liz Lynn playing what looked to be a very similar last at the Team Open last week upon review of the Twitch stream, but I guess no one else is actively down this path.

    Do you really want a UU sorcery speed answer to Marit Lage when they can often force an EOT activation in a world where Vapor Snag exists?

    Re: [Primer] U/R Delver

    The basic mountain is absolutely the worst land in the deck, but it plays a crucial role in several matchups. The manabase is totally fine as:
    2 Island
    1 Mountain
    3 Volcanics
    4 Scalding Tarns
    4...
