5 Snows + 4 Fetches. Hasn't been a problem yet, but I'm not super deep in my testing. That being said, I am sure the mana base can be improved.

So, as I've been posting about on the Discord, I've been messing around with an 8 Welder + Emry list. I'm only three leagues in, and the list is still super rough, but I've been really happy with...

So I still go back to this deck pretty much every time I think it gets a new toy, and, boy, does Karn count as a new toy. I am 11-5 over the last three leagues plus a match with it, and two or three...

So I think that the removal of Welder, artifact lands, the full set of Grindstones, etc. makes this is a fundamentally different deck than the one we've been discussing. I don't think that that's...

Damping Sphere is artifact based hate for Storm. It is targeted hate which synergies with the deck for a relatively common bad matchup.

I am way more excited about Damping Sphere.

So, the Imperial thread is discussing Grim Lavamancer. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it, as it gets punished by GY hate (which is probably coming in anyway), but it crews copter and seems like...

Thank you.

I was messing around with HoG before the Top ban. I like it too, and its very good against storm, especially if you have Welder.

This is absolutely correct. By reducing the speed of the combo and trading it for a better fair game you lose a lot of points vs fast combo. The storm matchups are not unwinable, but you're...

The problem I have with both Jace (in addition to his CMC) and Daretti is the stress they put on the mana. UU is a big part of the reason I don't like transmutes and whir. Daretti makes me want to...

I actually just built a new machine and am not set up for it at the moment. That being said, I'll try and get it together in the next week or two and stream some leagues.

So this is pretty similar to a list I was doing well with (there's a bunch of write up I did around page 29 of this thread) before the top ban. My basic take on the deck is that it functions way...

So, Search for Azcanta has made me pick the deck up again. Search is no Top, but its still real fuckin' good. I played around with lists that people have posted here, added some tutors back in...

Those cards are clunky. Thinking about this as a pure combo deck is wrong. Imperial Painter or Strawberry Shortcake are always going to be better at the combo aspects of the deck. UR and URb...

I've mostly been jamming on MTGO where I play against mono Storm and SnS. Its great in those matches, as it often buys you the turn you need to go off as they are low on interaction for your turn. ...

Blood Moon completely shuts down Canadian. It's much less effective against the DRS / Abrupt Decay delver variants. The Miracles MU is already pretty good, and many of them are built for Back to...

So due to some unforeseen stuff, I didn't make it out to the GP site. I did, however, play in the legacy challenge on MTGO. I went 4-3 and finished 24th (out of 75ish), losing to Shardless (mul to...

I think Kolaghan's Command is fine. Kozilek's Return, on the other hand, kills welder and strix. Seems a little rough. I would probably try Sudden Demise before I tried Kozilek's Return.

I have been running some Saheeli online and, while the sample size is small (two leagues) I've liked it. I'm going to GPNJ tomorrow to play in the sides and I think I'm going to do a more serious...

Tell me more about Saheeli.

So now that we have the full spoiler I think that there are a bunch of cards worth discussing.

Card that are probably bad but maybe are worth talking about:
Disallow
Reverse Engineer
Battle at...

So, Whir of Invention seems great.

Daretti comes in in Grindy matches and against chalice decks. Chandra comes in in some of those matches, too, but is in the list to fight miracles.

I have gotten several tezz ults off online. I had one kill with a Tezz Ult and one concession to an unanswerable Tezz at the invitational. The threat of a lethal ultimate is a big deal.

I think...
