Yeah, I dropped the Esper Sentinels and am running basically what the top Yorion lists run right now, though I love my Sanctifier en-Vec main and I'm built a bit for my locals. ...

Hi all, been a while cuz... 2020...

Brewing Yorion DnT and UW Humans, alongside kind of enjoying Standstill again.

I have to say, I love some of the new cards:
Solitude is an S-tier card....

UW Sword - +1/+1 and proliferate is ok, but not great. Does two things: puts 2 +1/+1 counters on some creature, which is actually perfectly aggressive, but also gets a late game Vial up to speed, so...

Ranger of Eos seems sketchy, but isn't the first question: How many Giver and what balance? I am automatically tempted to run 3/3 because the 1/2 and protection from colorless really powers the deck...

Yeah, I like Sphere.

Act of Authority is largely for fighting artifact and enchantment decks (Eldrazi Post is one, but CloudPost decks in general, Mono-R Prison, the mirror, equipment decks, and...

Haven't been playing DnT much lately, but the decks out of Japan are a little more interesting.

Yamano Nobuteru has essentially done some sideboard tweaking to his Top 8 lists for 103rd KMC and...

Good local player here is running this in his 60, don't know his sideboard. I have a love-hate relationship with Familiar, but he is hedging on slowing down mana and countering spells to make it...

I think it is worth trying. I like Kitesail myself.

Changes:
+1 Cavern of Souls
Mix 2 Scrublands and 3 Plains with 5 fetches.
-1 Remorseful Cleric, +1 Mirran Crusader main. Being able to be...

Well, if you have read my posts on the last 5 pages, I am clearly all for trying out and working through new things. I'm on board in WW with Lightcaster and Paladin en-Vec, of all the nonsense. I...

Ha! Not my locals. :cry: Freakin Paul Lynch, Matthew Vook, and several other Mid-Atlantic Legacy staple players show up to our Legacy night with greater or lesser regularity. I've been getting...

Grixis Control is, to me, the only singularly bad match-up aside from Elves. Sneak and Show is of course tough if Omnitell is what you are facing and Miracles is always challenging. EDIT: Post...

I'm with iatee on this, though the idea is at least intriguing since turn 1 locks can be very good. however, it does tend to increase our tendency to very quickly go into top-deck mode. My...

Definitely need a list because I don't see how you run SSG without undercutting critical creature count unless you 1) run less than 4 and/or 2) cut down your land count.

Well, I think the issue is that it still does an unfortunately large amount of work. Lots of planeswalkers, equipment, Moms, and the like running around, I realized that last night.

EDIT:
Medea_...

Judge's Familiar was kind of a bust. A bit like Spirit of the Labyrinth, it feels great when you have a "Gotcha!" moment, and otherwise not great.

Devout Lightcaster seems like the real deal with...

After a variety of conversations (thanks to Justin M and marungo, all the fault is my own), some thoughts on attacking the meta... (HINT: Wall of text incoming)

Core list:
Lands
22-4
...

That is also an option.

It's interesting to look at the changes at MTGTop8 from 2 months to the last two weeks. UW Control has really become more popular.

Basically, whenever you ask yourself a question like that, start with asking yourself which deck is the midrange, 1-for-1 value-you-to-death deck and which one isn't. Because the former is...

@marungo
Is that 2nd Crusader in the main supposed to be Prelate? Would you stick with 1/1 Jailer/P&K? It feels like 2 P&K main is the right move now.

Would you do the sideboard the same? I...

Definitely post the list.

@marungo,iatee
So here's a question: do we have any tools in WW that swing those matches that play well with creatures? I know Gideon is good, but I never liked the way a 4 mana non-creature feels...

My locals are heavily Grixis Control (2-3 players) and UWx Control (3-5 players), which feels like I am going to have a sub 40% win percentage between the two. Even with Cataclysm (I am running...

That's funny, I missed that. I just think, even if it hurts them, it won't see enough play outside of 1-2 decks to make them much worse, while giving them more interaction with Reanimator and Sneak...

Trophy is a bit weird for Legacy, albeit the card is incredibly powerful just on what it does for two mana at instant speed. However, it doesn't improve the combo match for Jund or make up for no...

Far more interesting: ZERO Ethersworn Canonist.

@everyone
Any feels on Cataclysm vs. Gideon in the Grixis Control match?
