    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    An algorithmic approach to banning is likely preferable to the "common sense" approach currently implemented by WOTC. In the current approach, a ban is mostly subjective; yes, there may be *some*...
  2. Re: Software programmers here? Tell me if this is possible

    To be able to generate an optimal set of trades could very well be NP-complete - it reminds me of a bipartite matching problem in which each trade creates an edge between two vertices, and we attempt...
  3. Re: Software programmers here? Tell me if this is possible

    Hmm. I'm a programmer by trade, so I'll bite.

    This does seem relatively trivial, at least at small scale. You're right that it's mostly a database schema problem. Off the top of my head, the...

    Re: Mono Blue Winter Orb Lockdown

    I don't disagree with AceOfJacks' general idea but I do think it's not unrealistic for you to jump straight back into Legacy if you don't want to play Modern (for instance, maybe you want to keep...

    Re: Trophy Mage Control

    I feel like Trophy Mage could be an interesting chance to revive Faerie Stompy--it's certainly the best piece of technology that deck has gotten for awhile. I feel like your list seems a bit slow and...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Thanks! While I'm a huge fan of Magus in the WR lists floating around, I think 3 Cavern + 4 Vial isn't enough to support it in Mono White--even 4 Caverns wouldn't be enough, to be honest. You won't...

    Oh come on, it doesn't take a genius to figure that stuff out—that this will push Serra Avenger out of D&T is totally my original thought, and if you came to the same conclusion, great. You'll note...

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    @Jon - I'd considered Jotun Grunt in the past, but kinda felt like it wasn't great to have a threat that sticks around for a few turns at most. How did he perform?

    Hi all,

    Longtime reader, infrequent poster, but I made a little write-up about my expectations for Conspiracy, especially as concerns Death & Taxes. Would love to know what you all think!

    Yeah, Magus has been crushing for a while with various forms of dredge. The thing is, he changes his list so much that it's hard to know what's best. A few weeks back he was on 0 Bridge, 0...

    Re: Dredge

    Cool list. Are you finding it hard to get the mana for Unburial Rites on Turn 4? You're playing even fewer lands than the average list. However you do run 4 Salvage and 3 Loam. But those aren't...

    Thanks, that all makes sense to me. Regarding the Ghast / Skaab split, I was testing yesterday with 4 Ghast / 3 Skaab and then 4/4/3 Looting/Neonate/Tome Scour. Those numbers get even better if you...

    Re: Modern Banned List

    I don't think UB Tezz is great, but it also has going for it that it costs 1 less and can "win the game" if left unchecked (though blue tezz can too). Its +1 is also better than U Tezz's +1, and it's...

    I'm looking forward to brewing UB Tezz in the new modern. Starting point:

    4 Tezz, Agent of Bolas
    4 Darksteel Citadel

    X Thopter Foundry
    X Signets / Talismans

    Re: Gleemax, the Fuse Box

    Nether Traitor is all I got for you... and it seems very lame. But it is synergistic.

    I'd just not play more creatures.

    Have you considered going more all-in on a reanimator strategy?...

    Crab is good, but I'd argue Neonate is better. It allows even more explosive plays. Of course you need dredgers, and I understand why you're against them - they've been historically underwhelming in...

    Yes, fair enough. Perhaps Sinister Concoction is enough against Archon and Elesh Norn; I think it's mostly a toss-up, though. My list is winning on turn 4 pretty frequently, which is also when you'd...

    Re: TITI Twister - Breaking "Thing In The Ice"

    1) Are we even playing black? If so I vote Confidant. We can't choose creatures just cause they combo with TITI's flip.

    2) Neither, but if I have to pick one, DRS. I still think black might not be...
