I would go for 2 unearth/1 reanimate, since unearth has cycling it is never a dead card, and the reanimate can still be Spellseeker fetched. I would also play 3-4 hymns in a deck like this.
I've been toying with this shell also, and two cards to think about are:
Unearth – the sweetest card with snappys and Spellseekers. Would try at least 2.
Black Sun's Zenith – a good...
I´m not sure about coiling, but I want to maximize on creatures for the 2-slot to make chain better. For example, 4 Freebooters in board is a sweet tech.
Lim-Dul's is not for this deck IMO, we don´t...
3-0-1 yesterday locally.
Main:
4 Baleful Strix
4 Coiling Oracle
4 Walking Ballista
1 Trinket Mage
1 Relic of Progenitus
3 Misthollow Griffin
1 Eternal Scourge
I agree in theory, but when trying something new, I rather go with the full swing to get a grasp of the concept in practice, and then cut stuff after game play. My gut tells me to play 3 mox/3...
OK, this is the build I will try for next legacy on monday.
Main:
4 Baleful Strix
4 Coiling Oracle
2 Fierce Empath
1 Gurmag Angler
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
3 Abrupt Decay
2 Fatal Push
I'm not sure that is how the deck will function. Ballista is a great grindy removal tool, and trinket mage works as a toolbox for explosives and other goodies. Since almost everything gives value, I...
Yeah that's sweet tech. Hard to fit one in main, but will try to include one for the freebies. Might be a good sideboardplan, board out Food Chains for AQ Wars.
Yes, making crane better and smoothing out draws (crack bauble and see if you want to fetch in your turn or opponents).
The main problem with the artifact theme IMO is the lack of good 1-drops,...
I've been trying a different take after the ban. My first two tries were a shardless build with more removals and 21 land which was functional but not great. After that I tried the ballistaversion...
Time to sleeve up Food Chain with maindeck relics. Goyf, mongoose and griselbrand hoser will be good.
Have anyone tried Spellseeker? Im gonna try the oneoff, seems like a good fit. Gets manipulate fate, push, Brainstorm and sideboard cards like surgical. And is good on a chain to griffins!
The new djinns are interesting.
A shell could be:
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Force of Will
3 Back to Basics
4 Tempest Djinn
2 Zahid, Djinn of the Lamp
4 Spire Golem
Hi! Alright, some quick answers:
I think tasigur and angler are on pair, i like that tasigur is cheaper. We have more 4cc than dnt, therefore tasigur does more. IF you have a lot of Karakas, I...
Small report from a small 40-person tournament yesterday. (6 rounds, t8)
Main (60)
4 Polluted Delta
4 Verdant Catacombs
2 Misty Rainforest
2 Underground Sea
2 Tropical Island
1 Bayou
The best part with playing 20 lands is the ability to always board out Forest and play 19 lands against non-Wasteland decks. :)
Yes indeed - A LOT :)
This deck had dtb potential a long time before ballista IMO, since it crushed the old miracles deck. I think the dtb section hade more to do with tourney results than the...
Delver has always been a good matchup imo with strixes, basics and multiple abrupt decays. We win by playing smart, fetching the right land on the right time.
I board in Fatal Pushes and Relics....
Yeah, I tried the shardless build again for an 3-0-1 and first place yesterday, in an Uppsala tournament.
I've never been happy with ballista, since shardless is the perfect 3-drop to combo off and...
Have been developing bant chain for a while.
4 Recruiter of the Guard
3 Swords to Plowshares
1 Griselbrand
2 Walking Ballista
1 Manipulate Fate
1 Fierce Empath
My thoughts:
This combo is a lot faster than regular chain, therefore 4 Plowshares are not needed in main. (Speculation)
Agreed on Force, think we should manage to squeeze them in again IF...
I've been toying around with BANT recently – I've played BUG Food Chain a lot in the past, and the Abrupt Decays have just felt worse and worse in the main. Since we are already switching over to...
I agree, one angler or tombstalker is a good route. Tombstalker is a bit better for working as a wincon with griffins for 14 flying damage. I think the extra mana is fine. Trinket mage seems weak, it...
Relic is awesome in mirror. Focus Decay on opposing chains and use relic to win the griffin-race. That is enough dedication for the mirror. Discard and misdirection is also fine IF you have them in...
