    Re: [DTB] Grixis Control / Thieves

    The number of times I've killed my opponents with their Bitterblossoms is comparable to the number of times their Bitterblossoms have killed me. It's much scarier maindeck alongside Pyromancer than...

    Re: [DTB] Czech Pile

    I basically took the opposite approach to yours - cutting Red (my lists always skewed a little greener than most anyway, never went to 3 Kolaghan's Command or below 2 Decay) and have been very happy...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    The D&T matchup is bad enough that I'd make sure you had something beyond Marsh Casualties to mop up their board. I'm partial to Massacre since it hits almost everything they can put out and gets...

    Re: [Deck] BUG "Shardless" Control

    The easiest solution to Gurmag Angler is to grow Tarmogoyf to a 5/6, which shouldn't be difficult with 7-8 Artifact Creatures. I haven't settled on a list yet, but I'm pretty convinced that you want...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    I’m 100% sure about GCharm. It, like the Forest, is somewhat better in my list since I’m running more green cards and additional threats that survive it, but Instant speed and being easier to cast...

    I'm not as high on the TNN/Hymn lists that seem to be popular in Europe as I am on the list I posted above. The 1-mana discard spells both make Snapcaster/JVP better and give a smoother cost...

    Isn't that just Deathblade? I agree that the white Lingering Souls variant is interesting though.

    If you want to stay in the 4c archetype while improving your Miracles matchup, I'd recommend shifting from the midrange value skeleton you're working with back towards the control skeleton the deck...

    I top 8'ed the Quest for Power event in Baltimore yesterday, going 5-0-2 in the Swiss beating Lands, Deathblade, Grixis Delver, BUG Delver, and Food Chain then double-drawing into top 8. I ran afoul...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Any thoughts on Bob atm? I guess he's better in lists with Goyf as well so you have a critical mass of kill-on-sight threats.

    Sorry to not respond for days. You basically got the reasons right - Storm decks (like most Deathrite decks) are fundamentally interactive in a way that Reanimator/Dredge/Show and Tell aren't (Lands...

    Because Legacy isn't/wasn't a Pro Tour format. Even now that it'll be part of the Team Pro Tour, I doubt that they care enough. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see bans to shake things up from a...

    Re: Esper Delver (UWB Tempo)

    I'm down to 1 Thought Scour in MXG's list right now, and while I like the idea of an Esper Control deck, I think you're giving up a lot by dropping Delvers and Wastelands but having no real top-end...

    Re: Esper Delver (UWB Tempo)

    7-2 for 12th place at EE7 with a list very similar to Max's. One loss was to some rough mulligans and not drawing a second land against ANT, so I'd say 60% variance and 40% a questionable keep. The...

    I haven't played enough post-ban Pile vs. Moon Stompy to say for sure, but my match notes from before the ban definitely had it as favorable for Pile, and any reasonably prepared Delver player (i.e.,...

    Re: [DTB] Czech Pile

    One of the main reasons to play Pile is that it's the best Strix deck, and Strix is one of the best cards available in creature matchups. If I were interested in cutting it for a better clock I'd be...

    Re: [DTB] Czech Pile

    I'm suggesting the addition of a Pyromancer/Tarmogoyf-esque creature because the the deck's primary problem against combo isn't a lack of interaction. Do you find yourself losing lots of games on...

    Re: [DTB] Czech Pile

    To what Whitefaces is saying about the combo matchup more generally, I think that would actually be helped more by adding a more reliable beater than the 1-of Angler/Tombstalker. I don't even hate...

    The fact of the matter is that Turbo Xerox is objectively the best way to build a Magic deck, and it's only really been in the last 2-3 years that people across formats have really embraced it. In...

    Re: [DTB] UWx Miracle Control

    I've gone back and forth on SB Mentors, but I'm very happy with 2 MD Entreats. It makes finding one to set up the win easier and often lets you fire off a small Entreat for 2-3 in the midgame to...

    Agree. The rise of Death's Shadow as Modern's version of Delver has really solved a big part of Modern's problem with linear, non-interactive decks being too good.
