61 card maindeck makes me sad. Something has to be unnecessary here.
If you're running a transformational sideboard, definitely do bomberman over SNT/Emrakul. Too many people are gunning for that. You should try to run a single LED main anyway - if you have a welder...
Basically this. Painter w/MMS is better than Painter w/o MMS. However, Painter w/o MMS is better vs a metagame w/o MMS than Painter w/MMS is against a metagame w/MMS. If you know what I mean. We're...
Then lets go back to an older style list. Nothing's stopping us from REBing STP once we resolve Painter.
4 Painter's Servant
4 Grindstone
4 Goblin Welder
2 Trinket Mage
3 Mox Opal
So, MMS is banned. That essentially re-kills Hive Mind. We can be a deck again. What do we put in MMS' place?
The problem with the Bomberman combo is that it's 3 cards. 3 card combos are mediocre, especially when you already run a better one.
Spellskite, Magus/Moon, Llawan, and Misdirect are all competing for slots.
Also, we appear to be a DTB now. Wheee.
So what are people's thoughts on Spellskite?
Why do you run a 1-of TA over a 1-of Trinket Mage? You wind up down a card rather than up one.
Congrats. About time somebody got the memo that only 1 LED is the right play. Glad it worked!
The transformational sideboard is against one of the two things Painter loses to:
-Redundant amounts of removal
-Your opponent playing Emrakul/Progenitus
Redundant amounts of removal are pretty...
ivan, I feel its wrong to not even play 1. Playing 1 lets you intuition for it and combo pieces and just win. I can't think of why I wouldn't want one.
Also, on the Bomberman combo in the board -...
Back to the general U/R list, here's a potential alternative to the ickiness that is SnT/Emrakul in the SB.
Currently in the top 4 of the SCG Open in Orlando...
4 Painter's Servant
4 Goblin...
There needs to be at least 1 LED so you can intuition for LED/Painter/Stone with welder in play and just win.
So lets just say NPH is out. Does the deck suddenly look something like...
4 Painter
4 Grindstone
3 LED
3 Opal
4 Top
4 Welder
Those flex slots may just become MMS slots though.
I don't know about Misstep. Is it really worth dropping (in your case) a Pyro, 2 LEDs, and trinket mage over?
That would be appreciated. Lets say, for instance, the following scenario.
I have two Seat of the Synod, an active Welder, a Painter, and an Opal in play.
I play Intuition. I have no artifacts in...
