I feel that the slightly different take is because the first list had DRS, and since it got banned, the second list got a new take.

I feel that the slightly different take is because the first list had DRS, and since it got banned, the second list got a new take.
I've used an Imperial Recruiter list for several years and use 4 Cabal Therapy supplemented by 2 Duress main board (2 more Duress in the board) and am very happy with it, especially when I can Duress...
It's not really stock, but I've done well with this list with a few tweaks here and there dependent on expected meta. I haven't played it in a couple months though as I'm taking a bit of a break to...
I played a few days ago, barely got the tourney to fire with 8 people, really odd for the location... I went 1-2. Beat GB Turbo Depths, lost to a friend who drew well and I drew sort of meh with...
I don't like FoW in the deck, too many blue cards I'd prefer to play than I feel fine with pitching to Force. I also prefer Duress over Thoughtseize, I play the discards to protect the combo, not so...
I played the following list yesterday for a 4-1-1 record (Drew the last round)
Main:
4 Brainstorm
2 Dream Stalker
1 Parasitic Strix
3 Spellstutter Sprite
4 Cabal Therapy
1 Mesmeric Fiend
1...
There's also Imperial Recruiter, but most people eschew even talking about it because Recruiter of the Guard is considerably cheaper.
You could also just play one o them and pay the life to return the Harpy to hand to recast it off the Aluren in response the to the removal spell. 2 Isn't needed, but it's a nice safety net.
I use the Imperial version, I haven't changed my list in a few months though, I was helping my friend prep for the SCG Invitational.
Conversely though, Strix targets and Healer doesn't
I posted a couple pages back that I've been playing 1 Mesmeric Fiend main and 1 board for a little while now and that I love the card as it's a pseudo instant discard spell with Aluren in play. My...
I do completely agree that discard doesn't equal FoW, but my list I have tried it before and was always displeased when I had to pitch something I would much rather play, though yes it did help...
@fapsik I've skipped on the counterspells in favor of the additional discard spells from the board. I don't much like the forces removing a blue card I'd much rather be playing, and the discard...
Here's the one I use that I posted a couple pages back, the main board doesn't tend to change very much or often unless it's a meta call like the Minister of Pain being main board vs the side. I...
A lot of this first needs answered in are you going with BUG, Imperial Recruiter, or Recruiter of the Guard. All three versions play a bit differently from each other.
I love the Miracles match up with my Recruiter list
Main: 60
4 Brainstorm
2 Dreamstalker
1 Parasitic Strix
4 Cabal Therapy
1 Duress
1 Mesmeric Fiend
1 Minister of Pain
I played the following list at the GP and went 3-3, my meta choice of main board Minister of Pain came in handy a couple times, Mesmeric Fiend too
Main:
4 Brainstorm
2 Dreamstalker
1 Parasitic...
Powder Keg can hit Inkmoth Nexus amongst other manlands, Ratchet Bomb cannot. I don't know if that's the consideration between the two, but that's the only reason that I can think of as to use this...
As I stated a little bit ago, I have found Leovold to be an amazing card, well worth dropping my 3 Shardless Agents for them. As just mentioned above, they do all sort of awesome things and I would...
Here's my current list and I have absolutely been loving the 3 Leovold that replaced my 3 Agents. I haven't regretted the switch up even once, the Agent cascade is nice with Brainstorm or Library...
I've actually taken to replacing my Shardless Agents with Leovold, it's crazy good and I absolutely love it. Helps against most things, D&T (Wastelands/Ports/StP), Elves (Glimpse), Combo decks...
Thanks for doing the chart, unfortunately the link didn't work for me when I tried to open it.
Someone should probably make a flowchart image of how to combo off with the deck and just post it every so often when people ask how it works.
As Weebo said, the Mechanic doesn't play well with Cavern Harpy
The Fireweaver is interesting, but only think I can think of is something corny and rather bad in Genesis Chamber. There's not a...
The Stoneforge Mystics don't make any sense in this deck, I think you would be better served in making Pact of Negation a 3 of, add the 4th Baleful Strix, and add a Sylvan Library or something.
