Good article! I have a question regarding your decision of Brainstorming when you decided to go for PIF or Tendrils.
Isn't it better odds to draw one card, which could be any spell, rather than...
I really like Canadian Threshold. I like having game against most decks. I also love Brainstorm and this deck has really powerful Brainstorms. I also like ANT for it's punishing nature. Some...
Don't forget Infernal Tutor shuffles too. If you have multiple tutors you can use one to get an extra Ritual or LED and shuffle after Brainstorming.
It's sub-optimal, just like using a Ponder to...
Overall, ANT is probably the better deck. In some metagames, TES is the better choice.
Legacy is a format with lots of interaction. As a combo deck, you want to avoid interaction. You can do this...
Got my power all at once in 2009. They were actually the first 9 cards to my new collection since I quit Magic a few years ago at that point. I decided to play vintage exclusively. The first...
It would be ridiculous to penalize someone for trying to force a draw when Divine Intervention is legal in this format.
I do think it's kind of weird that both Intervention and forcing loops is...
I mentioned Meddling Mage earlier as an answer to Abrupt Decay. It's useful in lots of combo match-ups and it's especially good because you probably name their number one removal spell. Junk decks...
I really, really hope you're wrong but this got me thinking. Maybe I'm optimistic in thinking wizards cares as about their players as much as money, even eternal players that don't make them money. I...
I do believe Energy Field could play a crucial role in this deck. It ups the cmc 2 count in this deck, is tutorable and solves a strategic problem CB decks usually have. It doesn't solve the board,...
I don't think that's really necessary. You could have one in the board but game one you have counters and counterbalance (with a lot of 1s in your deck to counter rituals and high tides) giving you a...
Yeah, I see Meddling Mage being good too. There's a good card to name against every combo deck. Against control you name their removal (as said ealier) and apply pressure (could be good against...
Against ANT with Burning Wish I'd name Burning Wish. The reason for this is that you cut him down on gascards, and have MM Insurance at the same time. Any second resolved Mage (or other...
There's actually a lot in blue.
Merchant Scroll and Cunning Wish grab instants.
Personal Tutor grabs sorceries.
Intuition finds you anything if you have three copies of it in your deck.
...
The problem with Doomsday is that you lose to almost every deck, even with your back-up plan. Like 75% of the format has Wasteland + creature removal, be it Bolt or Plowshares. The other decks are...
Why don't we compare Junk to Bant? Instead of comparing Junk to RUG? I think it's best to keep ''tempo'' out of this discussion because it has little to do with Junk.
I think it would be an...
Regarding RUG vs. Junk from a tempo point of view:
Tempo is much easier obtained when you play at least two spells over two turns (yours and opponents). Blue decks are better at this than non-blue...
Would Cabal Therapy be good in this deck? Coupled with Xantid Swarms from the board and a Dryad Arbor in the main? It can be played alongside Duress. It can hit FoW without paying life and can hit...
I do think it's a good idea to work with the Top/Counterbalance package. I think this could be an improved version of CounterThopter. The Thopter combo takes up time and mana, this combo just kills...
I personally think we've come to a point where the thread needs to be split up in multiple threads. It's very confusing if someone wants to propose a card for the deck (a green creature) without...
Good call, emidln, I'll give the miser Karakas a shot. Should work much better with Grim Tutor, saves me some mana/time, and the fact that it dodges Mother is very relevant.
My protection package...
I'm looking for some advice. I'm playing a UBr list with a small red splash just for Past in Flames (2 Grim tutors next to the Infernals). I'm aware that I'm giving up the flexibility that Burning...
The discussion of Gifts vs. Intuition is interesting, they both have their merits. Gifts actually gives you card advantage, although it's somewhat slower. The flexibility Intuition offers is that it...
Qweerios, you raise a good point that this deck can't interact with the stack, even though it's blue. And you actually gave the main reason why we found that Jace wasn't the best fit in this deck; it...
@ Qweerios
Then I'm not sure you've implemented Bruizar's ideas in a decklist that functions well if this is your analysis of the deck.
You claim there's no library manipulation. The guys I play...
