@ gustha
To summarize your points:
1. Although Humility beats, we dont need it. Elspeth does the job on its own.
2. Humility is no win-condition.

And to respond to your starting point: "Is...

@gustha

Sorry when I have to say this, but you are completly wrong on the humility topic. Generally I agree with Hitman, but I still think Decree is a great card on its own and the perfect...

@hitman

I like your list and your arguments.


True, Humility is just a bomb and I would never go below 2. Humility just gives us sustainability compared to wrath.



Well, I will try...

But you play wrath of god. You should really play 3 EE instead of 3 wrath if you want to speed your deck up. For expample you cant take 9 dmg from a nacatle just to wrath him away. There are many...

Ok, Im convinced on the canonist topic.

So how looks the sideboard?
And which matchups we want to improve with our sideboard?

Board:

4x Ethersworn Canonist
+ 0-4 Spell Pierce as hate vs...

@Reagens:

Canonist dies to the same removal as the mage + H. Recall. Just ask in the ad nauseum thread, its the weakest hate bear.^^



@Dragon.
To filter some cards or to find a land I...

@our status

I think LS is just underplayed.

There are some difficult matchups for landstill. The combo matchup was allways bad. But what exactly is the meta game change, that landstill is maybe...

In my opinion Tarmogoyf is awful in Landstill.
First point, playing landstill means u made the meta game call to shut off opponent spot removal. So nearly every legacy deck has at least 4 dead cards...

4c landstill is on the paper the best deck, but the manabase is often shaky.

I would like to discuss sideboard's and the connected strategy.

Sideboard:


For ref. Mossivo's sb
1 path
1...

Ior Ruin Expedition is obviously bad but Spell Pierce looks really great. I think it will be played in tempo thresh. I dont know if it deserves a spot in landstill. Maybe it can replace...

Exactly. DoJ is the perfect win condition for this deck. I only board it out, when I won the first game and I want to board in a specific sidboard card for this certain matchup.

And I would also...

@on the needle topic.

I dont think maindeck needle is the right choice.
It is too special, I would only run it in the board...
The only significient play is a needle on vial (merfolk, gobbo) or...

Mossivo, I think you are missunderstanding some points. Nobody says that u should cut spell snare, but as Hitman has mentioned we should play both and I agree with this. I think spell snare is one of...

Thoughts on the Landstill Mirror:

My experience is that the mirror is a fight for lands and a stable manabase.
CoW wins here the game and additional wastelands or opportunities to find dust bowl...

Sure, they will board in again their removal in game 3 and you should board them out.


I won nearly 20 matches in tournament with this strategy.
When they will try to overrun u with threats, why...

I dont think that this the correct boarding plan. Maybe we have to look at a concrete list, but I would never board out humility vs thresh, except I have a special boarding plan like goyfs come in....

Versus thresh I often board in 2 random extirpates for their grips etc. and it works very well for me.
It is really very easy to hate their grips. Sure teeg can be a bitch, but I see the tempo...

Well, I want to mention one point to casting brainstorm end of first turn:
I often use this as a setup spell for a 2nd turn standstill, when I dont have a standstill in hand. It really works very...

Well, maybe he is a very good player :wink: .
I dont want to say that the deck is bad, landstill is still such a strong deck and many people underrate the power of standstill. But konsultant's list...

Sorry konsultant, but I dont like your list - i rather think its awful.

First the manabase:
I would cut the swamp, it makes nothing.
Then u play 3 wasteland and no crucible (???). Are u playing...

@undone

That's the standard list (mainboard), I guess. Nothing more to add to the mainboard. Some people changed the CoW for 2 Fact or Fiction, I would test this.
What I miss in the Sideboard is...
