Hey dudes, new Karn has brought me back from the dead, at least to play on MODO. Happy to be back, seems like a powerful tool for us. Does this group use a discord as well? If so, can someone shoot...

It took me significantly more than 15, or even 50 matches to get the swing of this deck. The main reason for that, I believe, is that Painter really relies on reading your opponent, and the amount...

Something to consider, from a longtime Painter player, and also occasional Lands player, is that mechanically Lands might not be very fun for you. What I mean is not that it's a boring or linear or...

Could some people who play this deck post their current lists? I've been messing around with this a bit, but lists from the last year or so are pretty few and hard to come by, and I'm curious where...

I'm a longtime painter player, and recently a lands player as well. Emrakul is a bad plan, painter will board in RIP etc. anyway, and like dice said, we don't even care if we can't combo if you can't...

Upside vs. Counterbalance is the main reason I like hedgemage over vandal, and it's occasionally useful in other scenarios as mentioned above.

Hedgemage against Omnitell isn't at its best, however, in that matchup you're often playing a hard control game where you're slowly but steadily closing doors.
Typically, successful postboard games...

Burgeoning seems like it would be very good in the mirror as well.

I mean, my metagame is plenty developed, and a black splash for slaughter games and plague type effects have been excellent. I would not go further into the splash beyond these cards, which several...

Chains seems like it might be cool, I'd certainly try it, preferably before buying it.
Speaking of $$$ legends enchantments, I've definitely considered a SB The Abyss before as well, as it doesn't...

Got a chance to play a bit with a Pia and Kiran Nalaar in the deck yesterday, and my first impressions are overwhelmingly positive. It is extremely valuable as a tutorable removal spell that also...

I think all the points made about that in the DnT imperial taxes discussion apply to sharpshooter here. The biggest one being that it doesn't kill mentor or tokens if they have a spell, and that it...

If you read back in the last couple of pages, splashing black has been pretty good for me with the exact cards you mention. I have yet to try any discard, and would like to hear feedback from anyone...

Love running a single LED at FNM sometimes, super super fun. Usually do 3x e-tutors main when I do.

In my experience at these things, you will for sure play against Miracles, DnT, bug of some variety, and esper stoneblade, as these are the most common decks people own. The rest is kind of a...

Unfortunately, he doesn't protect painter or revoker.

Hold control as you do all of this, and you won't pass priority.

I also don't know about cabal therapy either, and while it certainly would come in against combo decks, I think it would be better against removal spells from fair decks where recruiter gets you a...

I don't like surgical because it can a) be countered and b) be fizzled by dig through time and c) relies on neither a or b happening while also requiring you to counter a show and tell or whatever...

Cabal therapy actually seems a great idea of the discard spells to me too because it can be milled and flashed back while you have blood moon.

Engineered Plague seems fine, although you lose utility against goblins tokens out of TES, as it is not a guaranteed turn 1-2 card, meaning like Illness, I wouldn't run it without also running EE....

I didn't play against Omnitell or combo really, and I didn't cast it. I almost used it in the mirror, but was comboed out quickly in a game. Any by quickly I mean on the draw during his turn 3, when...

Hey y'all,
I went to SCG Baltimore this weekend and placed 30th, going 5-3. It's not a great finish, but not terrible either. It's a few days out, so I forget some of the details, but here's how...

Perhaps Jack and Mapson can shed more light on that being from near there etc., but my understanding is that Lands and TES are rather popular in that part of the Mid-Atlantic.

Grixis is...

I'm going to Baltimore, but still working on my list. It's pretty close to Jack's, though the SB is a bit different. I'm also pretty high on Magma Jet at the moment, really helps the consistency of...
