D&T won a local Eternal Weekend Trial yesterday with 15 players.

Happened in US yesterday as well. $6 in the morning, $16-$20 in the evening. I'm sure it'll settle down around $10 or $12...or at least I hope.
She's good, although I don't know if I want more...
Exile the Academy Rector with the exile trigger on the stack. Surgical Extraction works, Faerie Macabre works, Rest in Peace shuts it all down (and I think even shuts down Veteran Explorer too but...
I still run two Recruiter maindeck and am usually happy to see him (uh...her), particularly when games go long.
I do find I typically side him out in fast combo matchups though; even though he...
I didn't see anything too unusual about it, I think it was fairly standard. He had a 1/1 split of Packmaster and Nissa and I did see one Elvish Mystic, but nothing else stood out as unusual. I only...
Played a win-a-Mox in Atlanta yesterday and ended up 4-3, but had some pretty sweet plays I was quite proud of.
Maindeck (60)
4 Mother of Runes
3 Phyrexian Revoker
4 Stoneforge Mystic
4...
Tidehollow Sculler can't be pitched because it's an artifact. Chrome Mox requires non-artifact.
iatee - your third match against Miracles was heartbreaking to watch. I was rooting for you so hard (and from my understanding, so was the chat!).
Playing against a competent player with Czech Pile feels hopeless. Grixis is also pretty hard.
As for the Vial vs. Daze debate, I always run out a Vial turn 1 whether they have countermagic or...
Ethersworn Canonist also survives a single Dread of Night, whereas Vryn Wingmare does not.
Even without fetchlands, we have so many targets for Stifle (SFM, Vial, ETB triggers) that I don't think it's too much of a worry. You have so many different things to be doing that them holding up...
Most decks trying the GW taxes tend to lean in a nearly Maverick-like direction anyways. Maverick does its own hatebears game pretty well.
Food Chain is a mana ability. Revoker shuts it off, Needle doesn't. They both can shut down Ballista, though.
Ballista will clean up your board as Mom and equipment do nothing to protect your...
Game 3 was heartbreaking, but watching him take care of Emrakul on game 2 was awesome.
Opponent casts Through The Breach to put in Emrakul, iatee taps Vial and puts in Flickerwisp targeting...
It was a live stream. It'll probably be on YouTube later this week, though. It's the SCG Worcester Legacy Open.
Watching him crush Miracles was very satisfying. Makes me want to buy Plateaus and Magus now...
Went 5-4 at SCG Worcester today, exact same list I played last week (link here). Started off 4-0 and then lost 4 of my next 5. Ugh.
Pretty exhausted right now so here's the short version of...
I find Gideon (and to a lesser extent Elspeth) great in the mirror. Breaks board stalls and provides advantage by constantly pumping tokens. Council's Judgment is the only thing that can remove it,...
I played in a 12 person GPT yesterday. 4 of us played D&T, and 3 of us got into the Top 4; 2 of us were running SOWAP and it was an absolute beast.
Other decks were RUG/UR Delver, BG Depths, and...
I would keep SoWaP in against BUG. Doesn't offer protection, but the lifegain (and additional drain) can help you race, or at the very least keep up.
That's an upside, but it's also extremely likely your opponent bounces her with their own Karakas and you can't block at all. Chances are you are both running 3x Karakas.
The D&T mirror is one of...
People have discussed it before, especially when considering Smuggler's Copter. Dig back a few months.
Then there's also the Thalia Stompy thread, and many pages back an article about "The...
Nice to see this in DTB again!
I'm planning on taking D&T to SCG Worcester in a few weeks and I would like to create for myself a sideboard guide to keep in my deck box, as my sideboarding...
Elspeth is awesome, especially when you need a flier. I run a 1/1 split with Gideon and I'm always happy to see either one.
THC can be amazing when dropped early, but in D&T she's underwhelming the majority of the time. Decks like Maverick or the Thalia/Soldier Stompy decks that can get her out T2 or sometimes even T1...
