    Re: [Deck]BUx Reanimator

    Is Strategic Planning better than Ransack the Lab due to pitching to FoW/Misdirection? Otherwise it might be better as Faithless Looting 3 and 4. Interesting take anyway. Keep us updated on how it...

    Re: [Deck] Strawberry Shortcake

    What do these 3-Moon, 20-land, 4-Karn, Astrolabe-Snow versions look like? Seems like a tight squeeze for slots, especially if you’re upping the Goblin count. (That’s not doubting it works; just not...

    Was Dredge winnable during G1 without Elesh Norn?

    What’s the reasoning behind Gamble? Is there some interaction I’m missing or is it just to grab a combo piece and pray? Or is it Echo of Eternity 5 and 6?

    Re: [Deck]BUx Reanimator

    Hate to be a pessimist, but other decks leave in a lot of removal against us, so I’m skeptical the new Dino is good enough. Fatal Push and Abrupt Decay will be out of opponents’ decks for game 2, but...

    Re: [Primer] +Manaless Dredge+

    One positive about Arbor/Vigor/Claim is that two of them in any combination work together. But I think that’s a lot of slots to take up in the board. Arbor could also be Elvish Spirit Guide.

    Re: [Primer] +Manaless Dredge+

    The only notable potential downside I see is having to up the number of green cards to use it consistently. Perhaps add Arbors and Nature’s Claims to the board as well, or is that too excessive?

    With regard to REB/Pyro, the split is not just for Meddling Mage. Cabal Therapy and Surgical Extraction are pretty common, and splitting reduces the odds of getting blown out by them. The only reason...

    True that. A creature to beat white decks is pretty much all I look for every spoiler season.

    I can only speak for myself, but the Hexproof/Shroud creature usually comes in against white decks to blank Swords to Plowshares and/or Karakas. Red removal is typically burn-related and can’t...

    Re: [Deck]BUx Reanimator

    Points of interest:

    Four S&T plus three Arcane Artisan in the board.
    No Echoing Truth in the 75.
    Only 8 Reanimation spells (no Animate dead).

    Nice run!

    We are long overdue for a new playable creature. Theres been a couple in the last few years that just missed the mark like Void Winnower and Archon of Valor’s Reach, but the last truly viable one was...

    Well, again, it wouldn’t be good against white because they leave in their removal. Edict out of Black decks would hit the Swarm and miss the Griselbrand/whatever most of the time assuming you...

    Re: [Deck]BUx Reanimator

    Fair enough.



    Swarm, though, dodges Flusterstorm, Spell Pierce, probably Daze, random stuff like Spell Snare and Stubborn Denial, and keeps Surgical stuck in the opponent’s hand (assuming a...

    Re: [Deck]BUx Reanimator

    I’m curious why no one has tried Xantid Swarm too now that you mention it. Works for Storm. White decks will leave in most of their creature removal vs us, but Delver and Grixis Control both shave...

    So to add a little more substance to the discussion than “that card sucks:”

    The card has effects that would be useful to us. It is anti-hate for spells, same as we play anti-hate for permanents. I...

    Specifically against Miracles I believe Aetherling is pretty great. They have a hard time getting rid of it, and once it hits the table inevitability is on your side. Potentially a three turn clock...

    I am curious why there is one Chancellor just hanging out in the list. Given the low likelihood of having it in the opener, I assume it’s for the in-play effect rather than the pre-game effect. What...

    This may have been a full-on more synergistic replacement for Ponder at U. At 2 it’s probably too much for the effect.

    I am also skeptical, though it is worth noting that this card uses the baby Jace wording rather than giving the card flashback. So it can allow Daze or FoW using alternate cost if need be. Also...
