I still think this is a stifle metagame.
yes I like the 1 spell pierce. I don't wish it was a probe, maybe a forked bolt sometimes.
darkblast is ok against d&t. although I don't think it's a very common deck nowadays.
Yeah just check out the tournament report on TMD. http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=48366.0
because of Kurt owning me in the mirror with Darkblast I ended up cutting k-command in the...
Attended the split Legacy/Vintage event in Columbus this weekend, playing 4c Delver in Legacy and Fenton Oath in Vintage. Format was 3 rounds of Legacy, 3 rounds of Vintage, top 8 Legacy.
R1 won...
the burn player at my LGS played 4 searing blaze 4 searing blood post board making the matchup very difficult. ymmv.
if there's a lot of Burn you're probably going to lose either way.
Stifle is great against 2 of the tier 1 decks (Storm and Miracles) and excellent in the mirror and against Shardless, so I still...
obviously I'm not going to convince you. everyone else: please don't play Badlands.
"fetch it as the third land"
that's a lot of lands you're fetching there bud.
you have to have islands available at all times for daze or to threaten daze.
what if your opener is...
Don't run Badlands. We often have to operate on one land, and you don't want to turn off your Dazes or be unable to cast Delver.
I don't think playing a basic is correct, because this deck is so color-intensive as is. Between Deathrite and Pyromancer we can still win through a Blood Moon and I've done it before. If you're...
I sort of see it as a core 58 with the 4th Stifle and 4th Probe as flex slots. In a large tournament I'm fine playing that 60, but in smaller local metas I tend to put in some tech.
Delver Rising http://thegraymerchants.com/?p=1287
why not just play goyfs if you're not going to play pyromancer+therapy... pyromancer is the reason to play this deck.
Well there's some stuff that carries over from any delver deck (board out your forces against other delver decks, board out dazes on the draw in most matchups).
Therapy is for combo (duh), also...
I took Calcano's 60 and cut 1 Probe, 1 Stifle for 1 Spell Pierce, 1 K-Command.
So far my best K-Command play:
playing against Burn, he is at 16 and I am at 3. He has no cards in hand. He has an Eidolon in play, I have a flipped Delver and an Angler. I attack with both, he...
Murderous Cut is indeed the best option.
I've been looking at this card because MUD is in my meta. Again, it's competing with K-Command.
Forces are the first thing to board out against enemy Delver decks. Probes after that. I don't bring in Therapies.
my local meta has BUG Delver, so I don't want to overextend vs Golgari Charm. plus Angler matches up well against Goyf.
If I'm going to run a 3 mana spell it's going to be K-Command.
Nice. It might be a good idea to comment on a few of the different styles (more stifle/wasteland, more green/decay).
Mana Maze is a bizarre card. What matchups is it for besides Elves?
Personally I don't usually play Swiftspear unless I'm also playing some copies of Chain Lightning, and I'd probably use the same logic for Abbot.
The primary difference between Abbot/Swiftspear and other threats is that they encourage you play your spells at sorcery speed rather than instant speed. So you're basically trading flexibility for...
