Just got done at the monthly IWMC tournament nearby Denver. Played the following:
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Kird Ape
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Brainstorm
4 Stifle
4 Daze
4 Force of Will
I hear you, bruh. Nonetheless...

...I'm referencing when Daryl Ayers and Ralph Betesh top 8'd w/ nearly identical RUG lists a week before TC was banned. RUG had been...
Is this when we start to implement our own DTTs?
Maybe cutting Nimble Mongoose and Stifle (or some numbers Spell Pierce/Forked Bolt) for 4 Kird Ape and 3-4 DTT?
Then DTT gets banned a week...
I logged in just to say what followed is perhaps the most level and balanced post I've read in any forum. Cheers, Finn, and thank you!
Thank you for your responses!
I agree with your philosophy, only my goal is to take 50/50 match-ups and render them wins, not to take 30-70 match ups and render them even.
I'm...
I'm a long time Canadian Threshold player and have always appreciated the deck's capacity to be (roughly) 50-50 against anything across the table.
I recently got into RG Lands but have become...
I switched to 4 Forked Bolt/2 Spell Pierce (A FB variation on the 8Bolt list) when I saw the first SCG after the banning of Treasure Cruise had 11 Elves and 9 D&T decks in day 2 (by far the two...
I got to play some competitive magic for the first time in a year!
Played at a Mr. Nice Guy's tournament (Monroeville, PA) this past weekend. 24 players, 5 rounds, cut to top 8.
List included...
Wow, BK! Thanks for the information and testing. Very solid post.

8 Bolt list with 2 Vapor Snag. 3 Spell Pierce in the Sideboard. I like it.
3 Mind Harness in place of Submerge. I like that, too.
This is probably true, but, comparatively, one might argue Canadian's skill cap is higher than many other Legacy decks. I think that was what Contract was suggesting.
But I don't know if that's...
I agree with the more recent notion that Twist would lose efficacy as the game went on (turns 4+).
Of the current decks, the one deck I see abusing Mind Twist (ie, it being better than a Hymn)...

There was a good string of top8s in the SCGs, but there are a lot of other tournaments to consider. For instance, there were 0 Canadian in the most recent BoM, which was instead...
That's about right. I'm currently trying:
4 Delver
4 Nimble
3 TNN
4 Brainstorm
4 Stifle
4 Daze
4 Force of Will
Guys, Dismember is so good, and it's been played to plenty of top8 and first place finishes. Stephen Mann played 2 copies to 1st out of >300 people at SCG Atlanta...with 2 G. Probe as well!
It is,...
Has anybody been testing Krautmann's Arbiter build from BoM?
I was thinking:
-2 SFM
-4 SotL
-2 Aven Mindcensor
-2 Mangara
-1 Ghost Quarter
Dryad Arbor functionally negates your Spy's ability to flip your library. So, No, it does not seem decent.
You can try Kelpie, Sphinx of Lost Truths, Whirlwind Rider, Griselbrand, along with other...
This and AmokPL's post. The Spy and Rider lists are so streamlined at this point. Most everything is synergistic, but not many things are reliant. That's the primary problem of creatures that die the...
One of the reasons Dismember is so good is, as BedDecks mentions, it turns Trops into a mana source for removal. It's also instant speed, and is the only removal we have to get rid of <3 toughness....
This really is a dilemma: it would seem Grim is better against decks with lots of must-answer threats that appear one at a time, or against an opponent who is holding off and not overcommitting to...
When Canadian first resurged after the banning of Mental Misstep and the release of Delver of Secrets, lists ran 4x Grim Lavamancer instead of 4x Nimble Mongoose.
These lists also played the full...
Stick to your story, man!
Just kidding. I understand. Daze isn't the most important aspect of your previously posted hand. AD, Lili, and Tarm is. So what is your suggestion for methods to beat...
This is fairly accurate, yes, except I would not say, "It's only good in the early game", but, rather, "It's better in the early game". And I'd think that, considering your approach to Canadian, in...
@ SecludedGlenn
Thanks you for taking the time to post that. And I must admit something: I barely skimmed the posts directly leading up to my write up. Instead of being most up to date, I was...
