-2 Bolts, + 2 Dismember should help against KOTR. Even then some amount of Sowers will be needed post board. Jace helps somewhat against Kotr. Between him and Dismember, KOTR should be handleable...

I don't think Firespout is really necessary right now. IMO cards like Grim Lavamancer/Snapcaster are more flexible. I agree with DragoFireheart that Trinket Mage has been powercreeped, the card is...
No worries, thanks Tinefol and Ajsmirnov. My friend Oleg, who also works in Malaysia T8ed that tournament with ANT. We test whenever he is in Malaysia. I wanted to see the lists of the decks that...
@Ajsmirnov
Congratulations! Can I see the other T8 lists? I'm very curious. Cheers!
In my opinion, old counter-top decks have very low CC cards. Almost the entire deck outside of Force was 1cc/2cc. Daze setting you a land drop back was not a problem as your spells are so cheap....
@ Drago, I'm sure the No-Pro lists will want the Zenith while the 4 colour firespout lists probably won't. Firespout + dryad arbor are not great friends. It is LITERALLY a tarmogoyf tutor in the 4c...
I agree, it's honestly not that hard to beat. The deck is just performing well right now and T8ing alot. But if over half the field is playing it, obviously its gonna put up good results. But in all...
I actually submitted an article to the SCG writing contest about countertop. I'll wait a bit, if it doesn't get published, I'll just post it here. In that article I examine countertop-thopters and...
3 Snare, 3 counterspell split is ideally what I would play if I was facing a survival-infested meta. I would play the 4th counterspell over the 4th snare as it is less narrow. If you see plenty of...
To each his own. The intuition package of EE/Shackles/Ruins is better in some MUs compared to others as I have admitted on the Intuition countertop thread. However, I prefer the loose slots that the...
Maybe doing a little advertising here but give intuition counter top a try? I am confident enough to swear by it nowadays, and I've pretty much settled on a tuned list.
Link here (latest list at...
Good effort though Acatinthehat. I can see there was a lot of bad luck on your end, like 20% of your games (flood or screw). Death and taxes wasn't easy eh? I've found that matchup pretty difficult...
I'm glad to see the uptake of Fire/Ice. I've been playing it forever and its been working well for me. Yeap looking forward to situations. Countertop is tricky to play, and I still make mistakes in...
I think your decision to draw go (situation 2) was the correct one. Having mana up for emergencies when you are not under pressure is usually correct. Anyway I can see you have been testing with...
Your observations are correct. I am unaware that this thread is more or less countertop-goyf and not just counter-top. I was going to post it on the UW thopther thread but it is a fundamentally...
It's instant speed sir. You can hold your mana open for counterspell/spell snare and can drop it for balance/top eot if he doesn't go off that turn. Obviously countertop rapes storm combo.
Why...
I did more testing with firespout countertop and realised a few things. As good as goyf and clique were as finishers, they are simply removal magnets. Without countertop lock, they almost always eat...
It's honestly pretty heavy blue, some combo (not so much, TES and enchantress mainly), low zoo numbers (Only myself and another guy have it built), some tribal. I've been testing against alot of...
Predict IMO is the weakest slot in the deck. I've cut it because it is pretty average. Have been using 2 Fire/Ice instead and its been pretty useful. Its a 2cc for balance, extra removal vs aggro,...
I may not be very ranked here to comment much about firespout lists vs natural order lists but I think there is no such thing as 1 deck -> another. I have tested both pretty extensively and both are...
