    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    I'd probably shave the trinket mage package entirely since the main reason for it was getting to play maindeck needle/explosives to gain percentage points on vial decks. Mental misstep and firespout...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    Well it did win SCG Indianapolis. Didn't play clique; winner and GerryT opted for a trinket mage package to beat vial decks with a maindeck pithing needle.

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    One possible solution to the Goblins matchup is to board Moats. Yeah, they're like $300 each, so a thousand dollar sideboard solution may be less than ideal. If they play Green they might have grips,...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    I've been trying cunning wish in the "flex" slot. It isn't the best card ever, but it is a three that pitches to force of will and think that that is pretty relevant, and it is almost never dead but...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    I think that you need to figure out which card or strategy you need to attack and hate on those rather than trying to hedge against everything.

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    I love trinket mage and may possible play him in some flex slots, but I cannot agree that one needle is correct to stop survival. You really need four. Trinket mage is a three-drop and survival is...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    Our problem isn't winning with countertop down. It's beating a survival.

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    I'd say that's generally true if spell snare didn't read "target spell with converted mana cost two" basically making it able to hit a one via an enabled counterbalance or a two by, you know, casting...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    I've been toying with this idea as well. I played 4 spell snare for most of the last extended season where dark depths was public enemy number one. The way the recent events have gone down it looks...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    For basics, I play 2 Island, 1 Forest, 1 Mountain, but you could run a plains in place of the mountain if you're set on it. Just out of curisotiy what matchups are you testing against? I've been...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    If you're playing preordain because you have a slot and are feeling light on land at 21, might I suggest a 22nd land. You may want a basic mountain to keep merfolk,goblins, and some zoo variants from...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    Has anyone tried Ethersworn Canonist against the vengevine decks? They obviously can't recur vengevines and it is also pretty good against most combo decks (Belcher, Storm variants, Aluren) not that...

    Re: [DTW] CounterTop

    I would lead with volcanic island pass, and then do nothing unless they duressed me or I need to brainstorm into force or something. I really hate brainstorming when I have no idea what I am playing...

    Could you post the 60 cards you're playing against. I'd be happy to run it a few times and give you thoughts on the matchup.

    20 lands seems a little greedy though even with ponders.

    I actually didn't change anything from Matt Sperling's list from the GP (except REBs becoming pyroblasts because of modo), but I just wanted to run his 75 as a starting point and tune it from there...

    I 4-0'd a daily yesterday with 4-color counterbalance. List: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/1505821. It's under Berdan.

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    This is incorrect. With REB, jace is countered and you don't get a brainstorm out of him. With lightning bolt, you still get to brainstorm since the active player receives priority first after the...
