    Re: [Deck] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Imo the thread can stay inactive until another major meta transition makes BUG without Delver and without Shardles viable again...
    Maybe nemesis helps.. not sure...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Delver used to be grouped together with control, but that was a while ago. These days Shardless really took over the BUG control/midrange spectrum, but as long as tcdecks does not split it up, it is...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    I've built something similar with confidant maindeck and FoW in the sideboard.

    My comments:
    Confidant is bad if you fall behind in tempo and/or life total, so you have to make sure you don't....

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Canadian is never easy. Some hands you feel very strong if you can get basics, resolve a strix and have a couple of removal spells and goyfs. But some other times you have to walk into their Stifle,...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Tombstalker is the most potent threat, but the main problem is hymn followed up by stalker. I only board out 1 jace since they dont have burn and dont attack the manbase with stifle.

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    I tested disfigure a lot and was very happy. Does exactly what you need in the early game and is rarely dead in the late game. There are of course some awkward situations with ooze, Goyf & knight but...

    As I wrote I was thinking about the curve and the mana requirements and I was on a much more conservative route than others. For a while I tried to up my curve playing 7 3 drops (3 snapcaster, 2...

    Nice Jarvis and Einjerher.

    What I wonder is curve and manabase.

    I guess against a snapcaster or stoneforge you do appreciate Garruk, since you don't want to bounce them but still need to deal with this little "extra bodies" to enjoy your walker. Mayby I try 1...

    Concerning your current list Einherjer: why not play real cards over ponder. If you are concerned of the blue count (rightfully so): Spell Pierce/ Spell Snare comes to mind. :)

    Also I feel that...

    That some fringe matchups like affinity or enchantress can be won on the back of deed is not reason enough to include it for me. That it can hit tokens or bigger artifacts/enchantments is also not...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    What do you mean "replace deed with". I think you should not just take a deck and swap some cards... you have to design a deck with an overall good gameplan & good synergies. If you still run 0-3...

    There is nothing like Tarmogoyf at 2 mana and I would not question it just because some decks bring in GY hate.

    Goblins always had those relics, but now we can trade it against a decay if they...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Pretty much agree but
    Confidant is super against combo, because he will live! Compared to goyf 1 damage less per turn, but drawing extra cards!

    Goyf is "good" against everything: agree - he is...

    Don't think UW will board out their removal - even if they don't see a ton of creatures G1.
    Deathrite and Clique are significant threats they have to deal with. I also think that even the biggest...

    Makes sense... no religous call on confidant.
    The meta in SCG (and MWS) tends to adapt much fast than in my locals. :smile:

    Your pairings reflect what you expect. Confidant was only bad in 2...

    I brought up this other 2 drops because all of them are utility creatures providing card advantage. It is about the concept of getting value out of a card and not playing stoneforge in BUG.
