    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    Agreed with this. Two also gives you insurance against wasteland. Overgrown Tomb isn’t terrible to play with for budget reasons, but there really needs to be at least 1 Bayou if possible.

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    If the meta your friend told you is correct, I would be overly cautious and run more basics. You’re very vulnerable to wasteland and blood moon. Cut 2 fetchlands and add 2 basics. Devoted Druid...

    Re: Bob Depths

    Before Eli won with turbo depths, he had several versions that crushed our local meta. Two of them had confidants in the 75. IIRC, none of them had 4 in the maindeck.

    If I were to play bob-depths,...

    Re: [Primer] Maverick 2.0 - GW/x

    This is a very intelligent question but unfortunately none of us can answer it directly. In short, a 4 color maverick deck winning in the meta is worth examining. I wouldn’t call you “wrong” by...

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    If this was toward my recent post above, I was referring to a dedicated NO-BUG deck (8 dork, blue shell of counters/cantrips) possibly being better suited than cramming NO into a BUG-flavored Nic Fit...

    Re: [Deck] Dark Depths

    Honest question for anyone in the thread, how do you lose to fair non-blue decks? From a Maverick/DnT standpoint even Blood Moon (or the new psuedo blood moon) things are too slow. A hand with needle...

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    I agree with Brael on this one. Brainstorm is really stretching the deck for no reason. Either go deep into blue for cantrips and synergy or stay out of it. 1 trop could probably be reliable enough...

    Medea can probably articulate this much better than I can: the red cards you list have similar applications (and overlap), but aren't 100% identical. One of those "a square may be a rectangle but a...

    There's really no need for this kind of tone. I've played Maverick and Rock for years. Test the recommendation before you knock it.

    Re: [Deck] The Rock

    I have mixed feelings on Choke. While Miracles is less of a problem (theoretically how the meta is shifting), competitive stuff in the deeper rounds of a tournament tend to have blue. Let’s also not...

    Every event I go to I see a ton of marit tokens. Edict isn't as strong as PTE in my experience because anything that's not lands.dec has fodder to toss instead of the asshole you want dead.

    @Mr. Safety
    I needed to see your post because it's a thought experiment I also want to figure out.

    I'll work with Junk-Fit, as that's what I prefer to run with. From what I've gathered, Turbo...

    @Arianrhod: I'm convinced we don't need library for Scape-Fit, given the card draw options available. Costly plunder + Tracker synergize very well and that's only 1 config.

    There are a lot of really cool ideas but I can't help but feel something big is missing. Since the meta is self-described as "super fair", I think you should find more value in some of the spells you...

    Czech Pile gains value through the GY but isn't entirely dependent upon it (a reason the deck is so strong is because of this resiliency). Strix still gets them cards + plays defense well. Snapcaster...
