    Does Trophy Mage have any room for consideration in that Glint Crane/Coiling Oracle slot? It demonic tutors Shardless and Parasitic.

    How often do you "get" people game 1, making them think you're just Junk Aggro or Maverick (maybe they've seen GSZ, or DRS, etc)?

    Have you found Deed + SFM to be a bit of a nombo? Like, opponent presents just enough threats on board that incentivizes you to want to pop deed?

    Sure. My point is that in my build, I'm like super duper removal heavy postboard so I don't care about whatever little dudes my opponent has most games. I care about specific cards at specific...

    For the Junk lists, I thought 4 Decay in 75 was standard. Maybe I'm wrong.

    Also, whoever said Shardless no longer runs Jace... man, I wish that were true. It most definitely is not. They still...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Nic Fit

    Hahaha, my thoughts exactly!



    Also, I'm unsure why ppl are so afraid of t2 Goyf from Shardless? Like, postboard, aren't we running 8+ pieces of spot removal, 4 of which can't be countered? In...

    Postboard, I use Therapy as a way to hand check the opponent to ensure my bomb-in-waiting will survive; rarely will I fire it off t1 just because. If I drew my Nissa, Vital Force, but my Shardless...

    Every list is different, but postboard I have access to 4 Decay, 4 Swords/Path, 1 M Pulse as spot removal for Shardless/Goyf. I don't share the same fear of turn 2 Goyf as others maybe? I don't...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Nic Fit

    I guess I'm confused now. Everyone is like "keep Vet in postboard, cuz you'll be able to ramp so hard". Now you're saying that you shouldn't trigger Vet? And if you do, not until much, much later...

    None. But they get their basics to use on their turn first? And their attacking dude still lives? Vet much worse when opponent decides when it triggers instead of you deciding. Garruk Relentless...

    How are you guys reliably triggering Vet when you're boarding out your Therapy? I know we have P Tower, and I guess incidental Deed activation, but 4 Vet/0 Therapy postboard doesn't seem like you're...

    I disagree. Hand checking the opponent to ensure your super bomb lives through their M Pulse that they've been clutching the last 3 turns is pretty relevant. Again, I'm banking on my opponent...

    In the super grindy matchups that will inevitably go long, why are you guys keeping Veterans in? We play 21-23 lands, some number of DRS, 4 GSZ grab Dryad; we're going to hit our land drops and cast...

    I board them out a bunch as they're fairly dead topdecks in long grinders, which is what the vaaaaast majority of postboard games turn into as we're both just overloading on removal and interaction. ...

    Yeah, I mean, we board out Veteran A LOT, so running Path to Exile just becomes awkward postboard. Also, baiting Wasteland with a naked Savannah (while holding like 2-3 more lands) might mean...

    I think there are pros/cons for both. I generally dislike giving my opponent access to mana as evidenced at how often I boarded out Veteran. I think I care less about him gaining 2-4 life from his...

    Re: [Deck] Blade Control

    I think UWr is a fine choice if your meta is more creature/fair-centric. I've been on UWr for quite some time and have found it does well vs many non-combo decks, but struggles vs stuff like Storm.

    Seems like small sample. With their Karakas and P Fire, I'd wager that Lands will eventually be on the winning side of that matchup, even with Thalia 2.0. I don't know about Esper, but I do now...

    Re: [Deck] Blade Control

    I don't know, TNN has been pretty good for me vs. Eldrazi. Outside of exactly Smasher, he can stall until you're able to find Batterskull, which is the true MVP vs. that deck.
