Played this deck again today. Changed two bad SB cards for two other bad cards, otherwise the same as on last page. Ended up 3-1, but 4-0 was insanely close.
Match 1 - ANT
I keep an agressive...
I played this to 4-0 tonight:
2 Grim Lavamancer
4 Goblin Guide
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Snapcaster Mage
3 Force of Will
3 Spell Pierce
It's a very nice article, very complete. I wonder about your assessment of NO RUG however, the Too Much Information-articles seem to indicate that the deck is the best performing deck and has been...
Stoneforge Mystic and Jace together makes for really good decks, and there should be a general primer. The one for the UWr list in New Decks is well done; but pretty narrow and makes assumptions that...
So I played the RUG list above at a small tournament yesterday, finishing in second place with a 3-1 result. I played against Elves (loss) and then BUG Control, BW Discard and Painter Grindstone. At...
I think the best thing to do is to kill Extended and Modern and it's ilk in all it's forms; double the size of Standard, leave Legacy as it is and leave Vintage and Commander to player driven...
I'll try a RUG version, then. My meta should be filled with Merfolks, S&T, Grindstone-combo and all number of Stoneforge decks the coming weeks, and I like the thought of Ancient Grudges in the board...
Could someone in depth please explain the merits of the RUG lists for me? Beyond Grim Lavamancer and maybe Ancient Grudge and to some extent REBs, I don't really see any benefit in running red over...
I have now played Batterskull in several tournaments (30+ people, mix between known and unknown metas) and I have to upgrade my opinion on the card a lot (from already pleasantly surprised). It is,...
Wow, that's a list of really great cards. No wonder I like this format so much. I want to play ALL those.
I was skeptical of the Legacy playability of this card, but a lot of players that I respect told me it was good so I tried it out in a tournament yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. I feel the...
You are absolutely correct. I have full understanding for trying to making this work. Lavamancer, Bob and Jace are amazing together. So incredibly much value and effective resource management in...
Me and some guys I play with in tournaments have been trying to make a deck similar to this, but couldn't really make it work. What we felt was missing was a powerful card, similar to the fatties you...
I played with MM for the first time in a small event this weekend. Was a bit tired and "burned out" about Magic in general so I didn't do so well, but this card is fantastic. I mean, I understood it...
Im trying 20 lands today, 19 was working ok, but I was digging way too much for lands and having to take one or two mulligans too many during tournaments earlier. I don't like missing out...
Very short:
1. Dreadstill: 2 - 0
I have Jace, Plow, counterspells and Pridemages for Dreadnought, and exalted-triggers and KotR for Goyf.
2. Merfolk: 2 - 1
Lost the first game. Islandwalking...
Or an iPad, or 10 NHL tickets, or owning a horse for 3 months, or going on a 1 week vacation somewhere warm.
The real difference is, with your Magic-collection, you could get most of your money...
Cool, I can build the two most expensive decks in the format. No wonder I have been doing so good at tournaments lately!

All kidding aside, nice data to have available for cost-discussions....
So, I took the regular maindeck that I have posted earlier (but added a Karakas, wish I had done that before) to a 30-man tournament this Sunday, with the Stoneforge-package in the sideboard and...
I'm actually thinking about running Stoneforge-package in the sideboard, the decks that will run Perish are probably going to be Tribal decks with splashes (or Landstill, but I might just give that...
So, I went 3-1 again (for a 2nd place finish this time), same maindeck, some sideboard tweaks. And the deck has gained even more popularity at my shop since last week, though I managed to avoid the...
Are there cards missing in your list? I only count to 57. I would assume those are blue cards (Ponder, Spell Pierce?), but even then the blue card count is a bit low I think (19).
A good reason to...
While I have been trying to fit a Sylvan Library or 2 into my list (cutting, let's say, 1 KotR and maybe 1 island), I am mostly looking for a really backbreaking card which won't hurt my own...
I have a new problem with this deck, that went from funny to problematic yesterday. It's called... the mirror.
This has been my "base" list for a couple of weeks now. I have been running it...
