    Re: GRb Welder Survival

    So, still my question: Why do counterspells don't work as disruption?
    Is Cabal Therapy just so outright more powerful in this deck, than Force or let's say Mana Leak, Daze or Spell Snare?

    Re: GRb Welder Survival

    I just re-read your article over at MTGS (Past, Present and Future of Survival). Great work and good writing style!
    Few questions:
    Why do you think/thought blue is the wrong color for this deck?...

    Re: GRb Welder Survival

    I feel 4 Tutor are too much. They are dead cards, as soon as you have Survival. I always hated to draw excess Survival/Tutor in FEB.

    The aggro part looks strange. Like if you would play Kird Ape...

    Re: [Deck] A new take on FEB

    Yes, but you can drop lands, if you add Brainstorm/Ponder. 25 Mana sources is good though. I run 19 lands, 4 Bop/Hierarch, 2 Wall of Roots, 1 Ranger, 4 Brainstorm, 2 Ponder.

    Yeah, I know....

    Re: [Deck] A new take on FEB

    I think, Stifle is good on its own on far more things than just mana denial, which obviously doesn't work. (Deed, EE, Storm, Grindstone, ...)

    So, was this Delve point really ever relevant?

    Let me know, if this is better than maybe 0 Ponder and 21 lands. (or whatever you played before).

    Your list looks great, though I don't know if Predator AND Pridemage are necessary.
