Care to explain why?

This is true. But you were saying "cut Mazes for Tropicals" which is clearly wrong; if you do that, either the deck had not enough mana before or it will have too much after. I think the right way to...

You can't simultaneously discount Loam being able to recur itself and then cite the ability to recur it with Academy as an advantage of Crucible.
Maze of Ith is not a land. You cut spells for...

To be clear, I've only ever used Maze in Landstill as a 1-2 of. But a control deck with both Diamond/Loam and Force of Will is a pet project of mine since, well, a really long time, and getting the...

Oh. Who were you responding to? Or what were you trying to say? I'm having trouble making sense of things.

@ mossivo:
Maze of Ith is best against aggro-contro or midrange decks with a small...

And a single Desert will kill any number of Electric Eels which clearly proves that it's better than Overrun which doesn't kill any. Meaningless argument is meaningless. Would you mind pointing out...

Maze can be pretty awesome in combination with mass removal, is uncounterable, and is also nice with Standstill. However, it's slow and dies to Wasteland. Apply prudence based on metagame.

I'm a sucker for Intuition combos of all sorts, but Cunning Wish -> Intuition -> Loam? Are you ever going to have time to do that and still have it matter?

I like playing a bunch of Tops, and then...

Is Standstill better than Sensei's Divining Top?

While I'm not saying it's not, are we sure that Preacher is better than both Sower of Temptation and Vedalken Shackles?

You're entirely correct about this, of course. It's just that I didn't see how it was all that close to TEC, either, so in its current form it looked more like a Landstill variant to me,...

I remember that deck, but I don't remember it being too similar beyond both decks running Jace, and at one point, Standstills (sans manlands). TEC seems more like a precursor to ITF. This is just...

Well, my thought process was from the direction of which colors give you the best spot removal, and that was clearly black and white (Swords is obvious, and Vindicate is also quite solid, unlike, in...

I've played Jace decks multiple times, so I can actually speak to this from experience; and I never minded drawing multiples, because every time I got to activate the -1 twice in one turn, it felt...

Why would extra Planeswalkers be dead cards? Granted, they suck if your opponent is dominating the board, but so does Standstill (as well as basically anything which isn't Balance or Wrath of God),...

Warning: The following idea does not follow the same design as orthodox UWx Landstill. If you suggest that it's inferior for this reason and that I modify it so that it does, I will narrow my eyes at...

I dunno. I've only played 43 lands vs Landstill once, and I was on the Lands side of the matchup. I got my Loams Extirpated, and then he had more removal than I had manlands and I just lost horribly....

My impression was that the loyalty is a cost while the life is an effect, so if they burn in response the +1 counter will already be there, and you won't have gained the life yet but that's not what...

If you see a lot of Enchantress, Stax, and Affinity, then Fracturing Gust would also be worth a look, though obviously the casting cost is difficult. (It even has Disciple-protection built in!)

From my experience playing Spell Snare in similar control decks but not this one, I don't like it. Threshold isn't the only deck in the format. People always play spells which don't cost two mana,...

With 4 Enlightened Tutor I'm pretty sure there's no defensible reason not to run 1 Humility or Moat.

Unlike Wake Thrasher, Tarmogoyf can also, you know, block.

Do you really need that when you already have Engineered Explosives? I've found recurring Explosives to be brutal in a variety of decks, and it doesn't come into play tapped either. I'm not against...

Explosives works fine enough, you can spend more mana of the same color to get around Counterbalance. Enlightened Tutor and Seal of Cleansing aren't great under one. If you really want to fuck...

Yeah, back on the first page. It was shot down on account of the mana cost being difficult, but in a UWx list, especially UWg I think it should be manageable. It's annoying that it kills your...
