Love this version of the brew. Blood Moon, Hexdrinker, Ceratops, Giant, and the GSZ value package are great ways to take advantage of the mana boost.

This might be the best Veil of Summer deck...

Red is for T1 Blood Moon/Blood Sun, which should be significantly stronger in the post-Snowko meta. Red also has SSG acceleration and Bonecrusher Giant as early removal, so the deck has more early...

Dodging counters makes this potentially very strong. Example: if they have FoW and you replicate once, you're guaranteed to take both FoW and their highest CMC card. Countering is pointless because...

I think the Hypergeometric probability you want is not for 3+ lands in 7 cards but for 3-4 lands in first 7 cards and no more than 5 lands in the first 11 cards (3 or 4 lands in the opening hand but...

I thought we had banned Wrench Mind when we banned Hymn to Tourach, Gerrard's Verdict, Chain of Smog, Mind Swords, and Mind Rake at the same time during the last Legacy season. Guess we missed one....

Mono G Emrakul Stompy might be a thing


//Lands: 25
2 Eye of Ugin
4 Eldrazi Temple
4 Cloudpost
4 Khalni Garden
11 Forest

Too bad Polymorph is in M10 and 9th edition but not 10th edition. With Polymorph+Proteus Staff the deck would be very consistent. Mirrodin does have Fabricate to tutor for Proteus Staff.

You still...

Interesting.

The tough parts would be ramping to high enough mana and surviving long enough, because aggro has too many turn 4 wins (that Guide-Lynx-Bushwhacker was Tier 1 in Standard for a while...

Banning the artifact lands seems wise, otherwise Affinity is Tier 0.
There's probably still a Ravager-Affinity deck powered by Serum Visions and Thoughtcast but it won't be nearly as strong without...

Yeah, I see where Brutality's flexibility helps fill the deck's gaps in those scenarios.

Then the answer is just in the SB. I think you can't afford to lose those Soul Shatters as long as Depths...

Punishing Blood Sun red stompy took 3rd in this weekend's challenge:

Most of the deck is...

@rei-vax: I think that looks strong.

The 3rd Plague Engineer seems good.

I would consider the switch from Thoughtseize to Inquisition of Kozilek for the lifeloss reasons discussed above....

What's your current list?

When did you cut Soul Shatter in the SB? I thought you were running at least 2 for a while, not just for Turbo Tibalt but also Depths.

Liliana's Triumph is also an...

I'm OK with banning Nexus too. It might be easy enough to enable in many rounds, and it doesn't really contribute anything positive.

I'm also OK with banning Trophy. I think I said that somewhere...

tl;dr - It's possible to optimize this with math, but it's also very easy to get the math wrong depending on assumptions and calculations used. In cases where the math contradicts common sense from...

The ones I can think of are banned:
Windfall
Wheel of Fortune
Dark Deal
Wistful Thinking
Induced Amnesia
Barbed Shocker
Burning Inquiry
Delirium Skeins

Any progress or interest in this format since?

The top contenders seem to be UW Rebels, Tangle Elves, Pox, UWx control, and mono U tempo (Ensoul Artifact, Angel).
Blue Xerox dominates, but I...

Looks like a strong choice. Brutality's modes do everything you need it to now that Oko is banned.

I think the only outstanding result now is Reeplcheep vs H.
H can Bolt Vengevine, Bauble-Bolt a Rootwalla, then loop Baubles to have impatience (2 dmg) race the last 1/1. WW for H

@alphastryk:...

Here's a 2019 brew, which is more recent than this deck has seen much competitive play:

You might be the only person playing Necromentia. May not be worth building around. It is forgotten tech, a lost legacy.

Edit: I found very few hits in MTGTop8

This NicFit ran 4 copies in the...

Isochron Scepter: "you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost".

Should be WD vs maxx! for the Energy Field decks

Chancellor of the Tangle for more mana and T1s. Could replace spirit guides or lands, making room for other threats. With Violent Outburst or Shardless Agent, turn 1 is quite possible off 1 land + 2...

Unfortunately Keruga, the Macrosage sees Hypergenesis as a nonland card that does not have CMC 3 or greater so it doesn't work. I tried that after Tibalt was rules-banned.

The other difference...

Surgical answers Loam and Uro postboard. Cling is strong though.

Whitefaces went for Inquisition over Thoughtseize to solve that lifeloss problem.
