The explosiveness of Survival decks was never the problem. In fact, fast combo was pretty much the only thing that was good against Survival (in any of it's forms). Decks like Storm were Survival's...

Look, I love value Survival lists as much as the next guy. But they aren't why Survival is banned.

Survival was banned because of lists like Gerry's. Combo lists where a resolved Survival meant...

But it's not an instant wrath. It only kills creatures that attack you that turn and only if they would deal lethal damage to you. 'Goyf? Nope. Critters used to generate mana? Nope.

4 mana...

The main difference I think is the dr8sides thing was mean-spirited. I don't think this was particularly.

Here's an interview with the guy:...

This thread cracks me up. Chicken Little has nothing on this thread.

Please reread the text on Livewire Lash. Notice that the words "or ability" are NOT part of it's text.

At this point, whining about the mechanic accomplishes nothing. It's not like you are going to prevent it from seeing print.

I'm concerned about this mechanic. I like it for its flavor, the flip...

Why would Peacekeeper shine against NO RUG, they have removal?

While you occassionally get cards you don't like stuck in your hand, it's rarely a big deal. As KidVic said (sort of), Hulk trigger can grab Double Tinder Wall and Wild Cantor to let you hardcast...

I'm really enjoying playing with the Probe. Games where I can Probe on turn 1 with Cabal Therapy in my hand really feel like cheating. But obviously, that's the ideal scenario. There's far more to...

Both Living Wish and Hexmage Depths seem like downgrades for this deck. If you need a plan C, you beat down with random dudes. Squeezing something else in the deck seems awful, especially when it...

I suppose I'll pay closer attention to whether or not I miss Fauna Shaman. For now, I'm happy without her, but we shall see.

Jacob, while I agree with you on the problems that Probe can create...

Well, I have to give you credit for a wild idea. I never would have thought of that. But when it comes down to it, any creature that can be chumpblocked repeatedly (as any creature can while...

I run very close to his list. I run a 2nd forest instead of a Cradle, becuase I think 2 basics are necessary. I also cut the Fauna Shaman. While it does let you combo without Drawing a NO or...

Thanks for explaining your reasoning Jacob. Granted, I disagree with most of your points, but I do appreciate the explanation.

Devoted Druid seems like it should take the place of Wall of Roots...

Regarding using Kiki-Jiki, why would you want to add a vulnerability to Karakas (if used in conjunction with Sky Hussar)? I also don't see the benefit. I guess if you replaced mogg fanatic with...

Re: The GY hate - it seemed worth it. It's not absolutely necessary, but I did get paired against reanimator (twice) and dredge. While racing is the better option, its not always possible. Having...

Well, I played the deck without Fauna Shaman. Didn't really miss it. Won a 37 person tourney in Baltimore, one of 02drop.com's local tourneys, so now I have a nice pretty Mox Saphire (Hooray for...

Sideboard Cards:
3 Carpet of Flowers
3 Slaughter Pact
2 Xantid Swarm
1 Qasali Pridemage
2 Krosan Grip
4 Leyline of Sanctity

That's my sideboard, but Death may go with something else.

Clearly, you've put a lot of thought and research into this statements. They obviously aren't initial impressions without any real thought, justification or other insight.

The deck is fast. I...

Paul Lynch played Merfolk.

Adding Zombie infestations becuase they work well with Jin in play is silly. Once Jin is in play, you pretty much just win, either with him alone or be reanimating another creature.

Bryant,

It was a pleasure meeting and playing against you. Glad to see you were able to end the tournament strong after our match.

Pete

It's a targeted trigger. Once clique resolves, before any player gets priority, the trigger will be placed on the stack. When the trigger is placed on the stack, NOT ON RESOLUTION OF THE TRIGGER,...

So your complaining about an ideal draw that doesn't even kill by the third turn? And you think that's reasonable? You do realize that this is Legacy, right? In the finals of a legacy tournament...
