The interesting thing I noted about that list was the 2nd Rec Sage in the SB. I'm expecting not just a lot of Blood Moon, but Dragon Stompy at the GP, and would really like to improve that MU....
If you have a spell powerful enough that it forces the opponent to concede on the spot, I don't think it's wise to board it out. I don't know why you think it's a dead draw later, either; it's not...
While I don't know about Thalia (again, expensive removal on our end), I don't think I'd ever board out Chalice against Grixis Delver. I play fairly frequently against a local guy on Grixis Delver,...
It's also a removal spell that isn't dead in the SnT, ANT, or Reanimator match ups. Escalation is always optional.

Wait....why are we favored? The match ups I bring Leyline in for we are not favored, certainly not enough to warrant cutting my chances of seeing a game changer by 10%.

My issue with Library lately is that in many of the midrange match ups these days, I'm contending with Leovold. While this deck has plenty of answers for Leovold, it's handy to be able to ignore half...
Proposed changes to my last list: cut Sylvan Library altogether, move the 2nd copy of Collective Brutality from the side to the main, and up the number of Leylines from 3 to 4. Thoughts?

In hindsight I may have boarded out Teeg in that MU, keeping in Library.

@btm10:
Regarding Decays and Reanimator, I don't know how I feel about that. I never feel like I have enough control over the Reanimator MU to warrant playing a step ahead of their counter-hate. If...
Hey folks,
I don’t post much anymore, but I’ve been playing 4 Color Loam on and off since last summer, and it’s what I’ll (in all likelihood) be taking to Grand Prix Vegas. There was a trial at my...
Remember folks, this ain't the twitch chat.
Sad news! It's still awesome that you made it so far, though. Do you know what your overall standing is?
I disagree, for a few reasons:
1.) He doesn't suffer the "investment problem" cards like coatl do. When you cast him (arguably not hard in this deck), he's a big fat fatty that tramples over TNN and...
Trample is pretty relevant.
While we're looking at 4 drops and recurring creatures....anyone check out Vine Centaur in the commander spoiler?
Vine Centaur, 3G
Creature - Plant
Trample, ETB w/ a +1/+1 counter for every...
I hadn't considered which fetch they opened with. In that case, if I have reason to believe I'm in the combo MU, yes, I would slam the chalice.
1.) Thoughtseize hedges you against t1's that don't have a Mox. Yes, it's dead weight otherwise, but that ability is really important in my testing.
2.) Ironically, I like Choke and other lock...
And here I thought you were one of the good guys now! :p Awesome tournament report, always cool to see the deck do well.
A tournament report would be awesome!
Yeah, it wasn't showing up on mobile. Interestingly, he took 3rd in the main event and 7th in the side event, making minor changes between events. The changes were -1 Garruk Relentless, -1 Thalia,...
Great finish for him! I have to wonder what his sideboard was, though.
I would like to note that this deck "broke out" at BoM 2014, pre-Khans. Meta looked much like we'd expect it to - more Miracles, more BUG, more Elves. I think it'll be fine.
I'm not suggesting overboarding for it. My board really hasn't changed much from earlier lists: it changed the Thalia to an Ethersworn Canonist, and changed the Choke to an Engineered Plague. My...
Friend and I (both are still practicing Loam) tested this list against Grixis Delver and Merfolk on Wednesday a bunch of times. Games were really swingy, especially with Merfolk. Chalice is mostly...
