I did some math on the new card, Skewer the Critics. So I don't have to format the entire thing a second time, a link to what I've typed up is here:...

If you want to go with the "hardcast your threats" backup plan, the most common way this is done is by running a greater than usual number of Grave Titans (usually around 3 copies) along side a few...
Hey guys. I'm interesting in throwing together an Aluren list so I can test out the deck at the LGS. I've never played this deck before, so I'll probably be losing a lot at the beginning. Can you...
Is there any justification for testing out something like Shardless Agent? It's a human so it should be easily playable with the mana base, and it generates card advantage on cast.
Miracles is hard because they have a lot of ways to deal with your stuff.
One option is to go as fast as possible to get under their hate. If you can stick an early threat and keep them off...
I think Pyromancer's Ascension is pretty bad. You don't have any card draw or deck manipulation, so getting counters on it will be somewhat inconsistent. Also, Ascension is an awful, awful top deck,...
Here's a question. Is Hydroblast good against Lands?
I'm currently on the Mentor version with maindeck Daze. I played against two different Lands pilots yesterday and was sort of uncertain about...
I'm putting together the stock UW list in paper, and will hopefully be able to find somebody to get some games in next week to test it out. I'd love to contribute a little, so I'll try and grind...
I think the big problem with Arcane Laboratory/Rule of Law is that it costs 3 mana. If you stick it, it will probably win you the game, but a good portion of the time you'll just die before being...
Is 4 Unexpectedly Absent necessary to support the Predicts, or could we possibly shave some from the deck?
For example, would running a 2/2 split between Unexpectedly Absent and Swords to...
So I'm going to be testing the following build. This is mostly a first draft, and I don't have much experience playing this deck but hopefully it goes well.
19 Lands
4 Flooded Strand
4 Polluted...
One very marginal thing to note is that you can flicker Cunning Sparkmage for an extra ping, but you can't do so with any of the other pingers.
I'm sure you can have some "getcha" moments where you make your opponent look silly for siding out all their removal, but that's not really playing with Mentor. He's more like a plan B, and not even...
I was in the middle of building Mentor Miracles when the ban dropped.
Monastery Mentor is one of my favorite cards printed in a recent set, so if I still want to play with my copies in Legacy,...
So I hate to be the person to bring this up, but what's the likelihood that this deck can emerge as a real contender in the post Miracles meta? I've always wanted to play a Mentor deck, and with...
I'm pretty sure traditional zoo is long gone at this point. The dominance of Miracles was not what killed zoo. Zoo died when Delver of Secrets was printed.
Why play a traditional aggro deck like...
So I'm just starting to pick this deck up and I've been goldfishing a couple of games here and there. I'd like to start occasionally posting situations that I find myself in so that I can pick the...
"When Restoration Angel enters the battlefield, you may exile target non-Angel creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control."
Serra Avenger is an angel.
I mean, certain decks have a pretty tough time playing magic without running headfirst into Harsh Mentor. But I agree that Eidolon is a lot better. Basically anything your opponent does triggers...
Is the UB version the definitively best version now? This primer is mono-U and I think mtgsalvation's primer on the same deck is UR with Burning Wish.
So I'm interested in throwing together a quick proxied build of Omnitell so I can dabble around with it and figure out how it plays. Is there an updated deckbuilding guide/primer that I can take a...
Why not just play Shattering Spree? Chalice doesn't counter replicated spells.
If you're trying to destroy artifacts through Chalice on 1, Shattering Spree lets you pay X+1 mana to destroy X...
Definitely interested to see how Harsh Mentor plays in this deck.
I think the worst thing about him is that he can easily eat a removal spell immediately and have dealt zero damage, which is...
I don't think Pull from Tomorrow is better than Blue Sun's Zenith.
Both spells are instant speed card draw where you're paying X mana to draw X-3 cards. Pull from Tomorrow essentially lets you...
Thanks for all your help guys. I went and acquired some of the missing cards I was lacking and will be jamming the list below to get used to the deck.
16 Lands
2 Forest
2 Overgrown Tomb
