I love Divert and it is phenomenal when it works. The problem is that in all my sbing it in in both tournaments and playtesting I only used it once. Granted I sent a Hymn back in the guy's face so he...

Play 4 spell snare in this meta when playing non-combo blue.

Think of it another way. You can force the early threat to drop a Standstill on a clean board. So your transaction looks like this:

+1 Threat of the opponents
-1 FoW
-1 Blue Card (and 1 life but...

Hello and welcome! I can't see a reason to use him. Care to elaborate on why you proposed it?

Regarding Lavamancer:
I disagree especially on the Bant front. So, they play probably Noble Hierarch, Quasali Pridemage, maybe Vendillion Clique, Rhox Warmonk, and Tarmogoyf.

He single...

I can't tell you why, but this deck is: "like good again". Seriously though, I have been playing my version rather often on MWS, and I just feel like it's good again. Sure zoo is tough, but I feel...

I am including a list that was excelent in my last tournament and was similar to the tournament before that that I won.

2 Grim Lavamancer
2 Phyrexian Dreadnought
3 Trinket Mage
3 Lightning Bolt...

Has anyone tried cutting Standstill for Predict?

I've posted a little bit earlier in this thread but for the benefit of everyone I will mention that grim lavamancer MD has had a little succes. Cut down to 3 noughts, no trickbind and a card of your...

I went 4-0 in my local tournament(Magic Corner; Vienna, Austria this weekend 8-0 in games. I played Van Phanel's list with the following changes:

-1 Dreadnought
-1 Trickbind
-1 Island

Perish might just be in the top 5 best cards in the format right now. This deck is not dead.

I'm not sure if this has brought up yet, but with stronger and stronger showings for combo (the last SCG Open really had a lot of combo) which is zoo's worst enemy do you guys see Dreadstill coming ...

1. Where is the list that you guys did so well in GP posted?

2. IMO the power of Dreadstill is nearly inversely 1:1 with the number of answers an opponenty has to enchantment/artifact (most...

The obvious answer is to swap in on color fetches for non-on color although I don't know if you gain that much from that. It may go even further than that, I suppose you can play a basic forest or...

With the amount of the format preparing for CB with Grip, and Qusali Pridemages running around in large numbers don't you guys feel strongly hated. I stopped playing this deck about 6 months ago...

I love this deck but with the INSANE amounts of spot removal and Grips to hit counterbalance in my meta I had to stop playing it. Has anyone found a way to fight through the hate? I've tried Kira but...

Actually you don't have to drop him afterwards. You are stifling the dreadnaughts ability (see goblin pile driver) upon which Kira has no effect on.

This is a good question because wasteland uses the stack as well...however when it's on the stack it already has a target. I think you are correct.

It does happen to stop StP #1 aimed at the...

I have taken the Vindication list and swapped out the CB/Top package for 4 Meddling Mage and 1 CoW (3/3 Tundra/Sea). It's actually really funny to play. It plays like Dreadstill, or sometimes...

Because the threat of winning in 2 turns is sometimes greater than actually winning in 2 turns.

I just wanted to point out that BEB is an on color solution to bloodmoon that you actually have a basic island for. It is also REBable so I'm not sure if that's where you want to take it.

Also...

@Rood: I was taking a similar tack but just doing a UWB confidant swap with goyfs and then trying to be more proactive with Thoughtseize and I didn't like the results.

My biggest complaint was...

WRT: Crucible/Bloodmoon I think it has been covered already but against landstill lists that only kill with lands (I think these are almost non-existent) you may want to board in both as resolving...

I think your list is also super tight and I have done some testing with crucible which I feel is a must for the deck. My question is, since you don't have a great answer for Tombstalker did you just...
