Does the fact that both Confluence and Chandra stand to get weaker against Planeswalkers not matter too much?
There's some overlap in how these terms/names are used. Could be he's talking about the same thing? Mentions 2 mirrors...
I'd say there was a fair amount of luck involved, given that he also went 1-4 on the same stream.
What kind of shell were they tried in? As you note, Nighthawk isn't too scary by itself, but...
Regardless of results I don't see where the stuck in the past thing comes from. This is the first list I've seen that uses:
Obliterator over Percy
Lashwrithe over Jitte
Arena over...

I rather like the durdly Bitterblossom build, but sometimes you just have to smash them.
Is Prelate on 1 vs Burn actually correct? It turns off our Swords for gaining life, and only hits 12 of their spells since their creatures aren't stopped by Prelate. Post-board they'll have at...
Yeah, that follows. I usually see Karakas with Knights in big Zoo, but overall your low-to-the-ground build is much more my speed. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry, I was thinking Containment Priest against SnT and DnT. Grafdigger's Cage isn't right at all. :rolleyes:
Monkey Cage might be Showable, but by the time it's able to trigger, it can't...
@haganbmj What's the purpose of the single Teeg? The chances of randomly finding it at the right time is very low. I usually see Teeg in Zoo with GSZ.
Grafdigger's Cage would be great in both of these, except for the fact that it's CMC1. Is there a similar effect at CMC2+?
Also, it seems like Burning Wish has totally fallen out of favor now?
Note that of those, only Demise for 1 is faster than our mono-white options, e.g. Holy Light is a sweeper of sorts at cmc 3. Many of those splash cards are better than what we get in white, but...
Could flexible answers like Pillage or Aftershock ever deserve a space? While single-use spells like Stone Rain/Roast are easier to cast, if you're running out of slots I think adding utility to a...
Hey Phil, great article. Been away for a bit and it looks like some things have swung. If we're having more trouble with removal, how about an anthem effect in one of the flex slots in the side? I...
Against what matchups do you board in Kopala, and what's your boarding strategy for those matchups? More generally, are there really so many spells that are targeting our creatures? As I think I've...
@zebotc thanks for the hareruya links! That seems like a much different deck but I still dig it.
You might want more blue to fully enable FoW. I've heard 14 non-FoW cards is pretty much a bare minimum. I might have missed something but I count 10.
I highly recommend NOT running singletons...
I take issue with the word should. No one says all tribes have to be competitive. Where's my tier 1 goat deck? I agree it would be awesome if my first competitive Legacy deck were once again...
1. Neat, but doesn't help with the two fundamental problems facing slivers. Yardhate has never been a problem in this deck.
2. So with a taxing sliver and two muscles, everything else costs 3 more...
Meaning more than not scary at all? This deck is currently not competitive in the meta. Merfolk is the better Lord tribal deck, and even that is not tier 1.
The problem with Slivers is twofold. ...
Woah there, I'm definitely not convinced that this ability is better than Kira's. Sure it's better in the mana-constrained early game, but this isn't a 1-drop. Once you get to turn 4+ when you have...
I'd like to confirm a few things.
Independent of whether to mull that specific hand, I thought this deck DOES mull well. My understanding of a deck that mulls well is a deck that doesn't need...
Thanks for the thoughts! With respect to Lili I'm not at all worried about life loss due to Bob (famous last words) because I'm running 7 lifelinkers and two Jittes. The deck worked fine in the...
I don't think we need Mimic: just seems like a worse lord (no Islandwalk, dies to artifact removal, no Cavern protection, doesn't boost Merfolk already on the field) unless we also run crazy stuff...
Thanks, I was wondering about that.
