    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    I've got 1 Edict/1 Push/1 Staticaster in my board at the moment, though that changes frequently. Everything is a balancing act with Delver, so cutting Edicts/Pushes makes you weaker against decks...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Sweepers in the board are useful for more than just Elves, they can come in against D&T, other Pyromancer decks, Maverick, and Storm if they are relying on an early EtW to get there. I usually keep...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    I was trying to spur some additional discussion, not just shut it down by pointing to tournament results. I completely agree on the netdecking piece and playing what you are comfortable with. ...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    So Agrippa's version of the deck is approximately where I imagined taking it, which is closer to the old Canadian Threshold shells. I like the list because it reminds me of a deck that I enjoyed...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    I was hoping to get some feedback on Cabal Therapy in the side for a Stifle list. To be honest, I've never been all that great at blind-naming with Therapy. My main experience with Therapy comes...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    I struggled with two things for a while with Grixis Delver: not wanting to run 14 creatures and wanting to run Gitaxian Probe. After reading advice in this thread and doing more extensive...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Agreed, I really like Stifle but I always have. It might not always be great card but it is very rarely a dead draw. Delver loves having little angles of attack to help you get there when they are...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    A few quick questions from my netdecking:

    Almost every deck runs 3-4 Gitaxian Probe from the lists on MTGTop8. Granted, playing online is different from paper magic but I still don't understand...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    In general I think that counters are better against an open meta because they work against anything. Stifle is best when it is stopping Fetches, but there are a ton of triggered and activated...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Very similiar to the direction I was taking the deck, mostly because I liked how it played very closely to old RUG delver lists from back in the day. A few thoughts/questions:

    - How is Badlands...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Agreed here: Stifle is pretty fucking awesome against Blade decks. Again, Stifle is not just a mana denial plan. Similar to Daze both cards are very flexible and can be used to slow your opponent...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Played in a small weekly "tournament" at a local shop. It was my first time playing paper Magic in 4 years which was a ton of fun. I was a little disappointed that we only played three rounds. I...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    It is a durdly control deck, so like all durdly control decks it wins if they stabilize before you can pound them down and it loses if you have a faster draw. Slow control decks with stable mana...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Out of curiosity, what would your creature package look like? Right now the deck has 8 one drops that take over the game if they are allowed to live, then a handful of bombier creatures in the 2-3...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Tempo doesn't have a very good mid-range match-up is part of the problem. Decks that have a bigger curve, with bombs at the top end can generally beat Tempo on card quality. You have to race...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    This is the conclusion I came to as well. Basically I'm not a big fan of the Probe/Cabal Therapy plan as I want to be playing a blue deck that is focused on countermagic. If I'm tapping out every...

    Re: [Deck] Grixis Tempo

    I've recently been playing Magic again after a long hiatus, and put together Grixis Delver and ANT. So far I've been enjoying testing Grixis online on Cockatrice. I play a Stifle based list,...
