    Re: [DTB] Canadian Threshold (aka RUG Delver, Tempo Thresh)

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

  2. Re: How would the printing of Angelic Spirit Guide affect the format?

    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...
  3. Re: How would the printing of Angelic Spirit Guide affect the format?

    If you're interested in this effect, why not just play Lotus Petal?
  4. Re: How would the printing of Angelic Spirit Guide affect the format?

    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...

    Re: Hollow One Controls the Courts

    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.

    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 aether vial -> play a delver / goose

    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.

    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...

    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!
