I'd be interested in this and have a few ideas, I just don't have the time to put in serious testing right now. If anyone wants to work with me (or jsut wants to bounce around ideas), I'm in.

I know, wouldn't that be great? You g et to relive playing every broken deck/card as it gets banned.
Flash is on a completely different level from survival (and the rest of Legacy). It can only really be fair with power level errata like it used to have, which isn't Wizards' policy anymore. The...
It's the Top 8 of a Vintage tournament. I'm playing Oath vs Tezz back in the day when Mana Drain Tezz was tier 1. I knw he has misdirection, and (if memory serves), he blew me out with a misdirect...
I've been playing a very similar list as Klaus and it's been working well for me, too. My problem is the NOBant matchup, specifically sideboarding. I've tried a couple different configurations, and...
The question here is, why do you need to endstep the loam? To make it better, you need to get more value out of it. But in loam decks, you very rarely have instants that you would otherwise hold...
Spellstutter is huge here. He counters swords for value. Also, with equipment every creature is a threat.
As for Firespout, just don't overextend into it. Put an equipment on your guy and bash...
It's been discussed, but the consensus is that it's not god enough. Three mana at sorcery speed is a lot to ask, as it is both hard to get to three and leaves you mostly unprotected for a turn (you...
You can actually make some good looking ones with a little time and effort. Erase some text one a similar card and sharpie in new text, etc (See the Starcity Power 9 Series proxy thread for an...
Rhox War Monk is a fine card, but it's not the best card for the slot. There are enough good cards floating around (especially in bant lists) that you could make a goodstuff list only and still be...
This sb seems kinda weak. What are you needleing? Relic? Top? There are no cards that are insane enough against us to warrant needle, really. Krosan Grip and Spell Pierce do the same thing in...
Sower was insane for me yesterday. I went 4-1 with this deck, losing only to ANT where I gambled in countering a Mystical game one then died turn one on the draw game three (kept a Canonist hand...
GUnit is correct. New Horizons' creatures are hard to outclass in combat. However, they're easy to outclass with spot removal. Sowrds, path, smother, etc all give the deck problems. Nimble...
That's a fair argument; I didn't count the blue cards before posting the idea. I've had the same problem in some of the similar bant shells where I've had to use Top or Survival to find a blue card...
I agree, spell snare is insane. Maybe it's because I played Canadian Thresh for awhile (Snare counters all the scary spells), but they're just such good tempo and are a beating paying one mana for a...
Not since I went 5-0 a month or two ago :P
Edit: I believe we're down to 15 proxies this month, TnA.
Two weeks ago (April 28th, I think) Harrison and I split the win (4 rounds, ~14 players). I was playing BUg Reanimator and he had Quinn. I don't recall who took 3rd or 4th, though. I wasn't able...
Careful, you might get blown out by elvish spirit guide. Make sure to Thoughtseize first.
Is there a way you could get an actual judge at these? I've run into a couple of situations now where I would like to call one but can't, and I noticed one was kinda needed in the top 8 Sunday, too.
Hmm... Play Legacy, or pay 10 mana for every spell in the format... I think I'll take Legacy.
Plus, this is on Sunday. People have plenty of time to do the release event on Saturday then...
I play with CB/Top in my main, so my deck/sb might be a little different. When I play against the "mirror," I usually take out the Iona/Retainers package, and maybe a few War Monks depending on how...
I agree, I didn't consider that possibility of a typo. Flooded Strand is what I think it should be, anyway.
CB/Top is still quite powerful. It might not be the best against Merfolk, but it gives...
Since when does leading with a basic island make it hard to cast Counterbalance next turn?
I feel like the 4 filters might be somewhat of a crutch. Tapping out for Counterbalance is usually a bad...
Submerge is for the Tarmogoyf matchup.
Just a reminder, come out and play tomorrow! Let's keep increasing the number of people!
Also, can we change the thread title? The events have been starting at 6:30 to allow more people to come.
