If you ask me they all suffered. "unplayable" was probably too strong, but you definitely have to consider the impact of Deathrite Shaman on every card that needs the grave.

The problem with Crucible of Worlds is not Abrupt Decay, but Deathrite Shaman. CoW was very strong because in combination with Academy Ruins, Wasteland, Mishra's Factory, Engineered Explosives (and...

You can also use a Decree of Justice + Lingering Souls kill. Planeswalkers aren't so good right now thanks to Lingering Souls and other creatures like Snapcaster Mage, Clique, that put pressure on...

At least Brainstorm is reliable again, since Mental Misstep is banned.

Spell Snare, Path to Exile, and Mental Misstep are competing for slots. The problem with Snare is that Aether Vial blanks it. PtE, on the other hand, is limited to creatures: it's a dead card against...

Actually I'm rather thinking of comparing Elspeth to Humility, WoG, and Cunning Wish.

My suggestion is 3-4 Jace TMS, 3-4 WoG/Humility, and possibly Cunning Wish, 0 Elspeth. (I personally like...

But don't you agree that Elspeth is very weak against NO Progenitus, Emrakul, Reaniminator, Dredge (and to a lesser extent Merfolk and Goblin)?
That's not just a deck type, but a big part of the...

Elspeth sucks, no seriously...

Elspeth is good against decks that play dumb creatures: Team America, Maverick, Bant, Zoo, but very weak against combo-engines: NO Progenitus, SnT Emrakul,...

If you run 4 BS, 4 Jace, 4 Standstill, Top is unnecessary, because you already have packed sufficient card-quality.
But since you're only running 4 BS, 2 Jace, 4 Standstill, that single Top is very...

You could also run a Bojuka Bog in that conclave #3 slot and and cut a Tormod's Crypt in the board freeing up a SB-slot. Just a thought.

Vendilion Clique is only good because of Jace TMS. Vendilion Clique is like Duress in Vintage. Harm their hand and drop a bomb they simply cannot deal with: Yawgmoth's Will respectively Jace The Mind...

The problem with Spell Snare is that it can be misstepped. If you need room, Spell Snare is the most obvious cut.

The lifeloss of Dismember is horrible; Path to exile is an excellent card in my...

RogueMTG, that is indeed a valid point. But theoretically it comes down to the player being able to evaluate the gamestate correctly. I'd say with Landstill you have a very good knowledge of what...

Metalwalker, you played 2 Top for a long time, then upped to 3 Top (p. 235), but then you finally arrived at 1 Top. I'm curious why the fluctuation? I'm personnally a big proponent of 3 Top. I think...

@ Metalwalker: May I remind you that you shouldn't run any less than 3 EE?

---
I personally think that SDT (as a three of ) + Path to Exile is a better early-game plan than Mental Misstep + Spell...

As a mainboard card it's obviously really bad, I don't even need to test it (just compare it with Decree of Justice), but a wishable win-con is truly amazing...

To those of you running Wrath of God: What do you think is the right number for WoG-effects?
3 WoG
2 WoG + 1 Humility
3 WoG + 1 Humility
(However, I'm very sure that I want only one Humility,...

In my opinion Mossivo is right about FoF > Jace TMS. You have to activate Jace TMS twice in order to equal the effect of FoF and three times to surpass it. But FoF is already a hugely powerful...

Aether Vial is the only card that forces you to run EE. But if you have other ways to deal with Aether Vial (Nevinyrral's Disk and Humility) then it's definitely not mandatory, because it's a bit...

You don't like Decree of Justice, because it lacks power. This is exactly, what I have said in my post. However, while Decree of Justice lacks power, it provides flexibility (see my post above for an...

Maybe you are interested in the opinion of a random person:
Decree of Justice is a win-condition first. It is without a doubt the best win-condition you have in your deck. However, Decree of justice...
