I'm in this year again too - I'll update with a wish list later.

Have to disagree with you on this. 4 Damage for R is _significantly_ better than 3 damage for R. It's rare that you'd be able to take out a goyf with an lbolt, but with galvanic, it'd be pretty...

Do you find yourself missing the 'bigger' bodies of affinity - like Master of Etherium, Myr Enforcer and the like?

Seems like this deck would have a tougher time in a counter-top matchup than a...

Initial tests with Martyr and Proclamation have been meh to awful. I'm going to be rolling with the stoneforge + jitte instead.

Proclamation could find a home as a situational board card vs decks...

@ HokusSchmokus
- For this deck, they're largely the same. Coming out of the board, when would you side them in? The only time I'd want chant main is if I was facing storm combo. The added fog...

Sands isn't a bad idea - probably warrants some testing - and would be pretty decent maindeck vs ichorid.

Serra Ascendant and Ajani's Pridemate are regularly larger than a goyf. I'm not saying goyf is bad by any means, I just don't feel terribly compelled to lose life on fetches and open our manabase up...

@tTWD
- I had thought about Knight, but realized unless I have something to make him bigger, he's going to lose out in most aggro matchups. Sure, he can chump block with mom to gain life, and maybe...

Can't claim to be too original here - but after seeing the standard deck in action at Nationals, figured I'd give it a whirl in legacy (where we're less likely to run into board sweeps)

Here's...

I'm not sure a 1G 4/4 _non-artifact_ is good enough in affinity - you really don't want to dilute the deck with non-artifacts, especially if you are going to be running opal. You already have 8-12...

Mox Opal will become a 2-of in optimized Legacy Affinity Lists. I'm not entirely sure about memnite - Ornithopter is a much better zero drop creature, and it's not like legacy affinity is looking for...

@Tinefol

How do Mom's do anything to prevent shackles? They are colorless.

So, in my extra playtime I've been getting now that I have the deck built online, it seems like emrakul in general is a pretty huge problem for us. Obviously the ideal answer is to counter the spell...

I've had some initial difficulties with survival as well - but I attribute that more to unfamiliarity with the matchup than anything else. The build I played against was the Vengevine + Basking...

I don't mind it as an experimental card out of the board. The only time it's going to be relevant though is late game. It's nice to be able to tutor it up with e-tutors but have to pay 5 mana to...

I just run the singleton vexing sphinx. I could see going with a J:TMS in that slot easily. I had toyed with the idea of running an Elspeth in the slot - and if the mood strikes I might (I don't...

If you need to run bounce, drop a spell pierce for an e-truth, curfew or chain of vapor. I still prefer running the vexing sphinx in that slot, but that's where you'd put it if you needed it.

I'd...

@Ryoko

I don't think the deck wants more stoneforge. We only have 2 equipment for him to fetch at the moment - and if we don't have anything for him to go grab, he's a 1/2 for 2 mana.

I...

Yeah. It happens to everyone eventually. Don't sweat it - at least you didn't go 0-4. =/

Frankly, anyone interested in the deck will have read through the thread, and probably at least proxied the deck up or gave it a whirl in magic workstation. This thread gets a ton of people wandering...

@ evilone - You aren't going to find a ton of people who are going to go out of their way to convince you to play this deck. I play the deck because it seems to have the tools to beat just about...

I've never really had problems with lands frankly. Early wastes on critical lands, swords for their factories. If they manage a tabernacle, just keep your serra avenger out and beat face.

Bring in...

The main list will do you well. All of the zoo matchups I've played I either won or felt like I could have won if I had tightened up my game.

If you are really nervous and/or expect a ton of zoo...

Yeah, I see a lot of storm combo in my meta, which is the main reason I haven't moved away from aura. That, plus the e-tutor board.

I did pick up a playset of foil Witnesses though, just to be...

Pimping in progress on my UW Tempo deck too, whadda know. Helps that some sourcer gifted me FBB swords and foreign vials last xmas. Just picked up some foriegn jittes =D Something tells me it's going...
