Not sure if this is Ralf or not, but someone made a GP Top 8 with a creature configuration like that one.

Thats irrelevant- if they have a force of will your turn 1 hatebear is not resolving regardless of lotus petal vs chrome mox vs spirit guide (unless cavern is involved, in which case, this line of...
If you're interested in this effect, why not just play Lotus Petal?
But Hatebear decks could already play Lotus Petal, Chrome Mox, and either spirit guide (for colorless cost. Only color intensive hatebar off the top of my head is Gaddock Teeg - in which case elvish...
If you're worried about bloodghast triggers, why not just play fetches and undiscovered paradise? Could even play some number of dakmor salvages. I just don't see why this deck would want the card...
Eldrazi and burn are the aggro decks of the format. Perhaps even merfolk. Sorry but, your analysis is pretty wrong. And funny how you said you want a creature to "slow down tempo / control...
Sort of...until ridiculously overpowered hatebear #37 finally puts the nail in the coffin.
I don't really like Lotus Petal in this deck - I don't think it can handle the card disadvantage and the upside of getting a bloodghast in play when your opponent is at 20 seems minimal at best.
...
Welp.
Guess I’m never owning one of those.
Crazy people. Nothing better than snaring a pyromancer while your grixis opponent has 1-2 open mana. They always reread spell snare, pause for a moment, and give you the "uh..ok" while they...
BI is pretty spicy, Ralf.
How do you beat Sword to Plowshare decks with that creature configuration?
Thought this card was interesting: https://media.wizards.com/2018/dom/en_47k2GBWc6i.png
Destroy chalice -> wasteland you
Destroy aether vial -> play a delver / goose
The problem I found with Winter Orb vs sneak and Show is that normally the game is won or lost after the big fight. Typically all resources are expended and both players are basically hellbent...
Sorry, I’m probably missing something obvious here, but the list linked to at MTGGoldfish doesn’t align with the changes you mention. What list are your referring to?
I played this at Madrid.
Gotcha...yea fair enough. Both are bad vs plow agreed. But goyf doesn't nuke your GY and shrink your geese at least :)
I bring in winter orb against miracles, lands, stoneblade decks, stompy...
Wow, asian / eurpoean meta must really be a lot different from the american meta for this many RUG players to have problems with push...
But btw, hooting mandrills doesn't fill the role of "big...
Its similar to the mulligan point.
If you were truly playing 56 cards deck construction would change. But it doesn't matter how "free" a cantrip is, when you physically need 60 cards.
Last thing I'll say on the matter, then we can move on- what I mean is that you (for example) could not start cutting lands if you slot 4 probes in the deck - because if 18 lands is an optimal...
Kiwi, are you supportive of Gitaxian Probe or no? I was having a hard time determining your stance on the matter from your posts.
My thoughts on probe are that the slots in our deck are too...
Whats your boarding plan for DnT?
Spell pierce is ok on the play, but bad on the draw I think. This is a match up I would like to practice more. I think its not that bad overall, but its...
I would not bring in surgical extraction against eldrazi - this seems really wrong to me. There are not a lot of high upside cards to hit from them, and they don't use their graveyard at all
...
I'm like 99.9% sure this is incorrect. They enter simultaneously, so they would "see" each other, and cage would trigger.
Predict has always felt a bit clunky to me with a curve as low as ours. Granted, I am very interested in it. And with counterbalance making a resurgence, it could be poised to have an impact...
Heh, it happens. Just wasn't running very hot, and had many "FoW check" match ups.
I think I misplayed game 2 against storm (lost game 1), involving a weird situation where he cracked a fetch...
Scrubbed out @ Worcester today
Started off 2-0, beating Big Red and Grixis Delver
Dropped 3 in a row to Big Red, ANT, and BR Reanimator :shrug:
Still happy with the deck!
