mistercakes posted a few lists on the previous page.
mistercakes: did you ever try out Guttersnipe out of the SB in the Underworld Breach lists? Having a GY based G1 strategy, then taking out GY...
Has Blood Sun been discussed post DRS and Probe ban? Seems like we have a bunch of flex slots md, so why not run at least a 1-of? It draws a card, gets cheaper with rocks, and can randomly destroy an...
If you are looking for out-of-the-box ideas, I would have a look at 1x MD/SB Storm Entity, Hellraiser Goblin, Anger, Burst of Speed or Goblin Bushwhacker. I can see some merit in a combat kill with...
This.
HUF is marginally great as a topdeck vs blue decks and grave hate, which is niche at best. But the high cmc and randomness are big problems for consistency for HUF.
In most realistic...
Was the shell running any Gamble? If you are running a janky 2 card combo, (pseudo) tutors seem more essential to me than randomly trying to hit the pieces with HUF.
Or just "brute force draw"...
Terrible suggestion: Helm of Obedience. It's terrible because you need BB (from Manamorphose) for Leyline of the Void. The good thing is, nobody is going to sb in Pithing Needle against us in G2....
VS spot discard, you may want to have a look at card advantage engines. Especially Sin Prodder and Bottled Cloister.
VS anti-storm cards, you may want to have a look at mana efficient beaters /...
Should we run Guttersnipe MD or SB? SBing in creatures when the opponent is likely to side out creature removal would have some surprise value.
I am running MD 1x EtW instead of 1x Grapeshot to dodge Chalice or Prelate on 2. Could be a meta call.
I don't see an existing shell which would prefer to run this over RiP. It would allow running Bitterblossom + Lingering Souls + Gurmag Angler (+ Tarmogoyf?) all in the same deck, but that sounds a...
Iona: Surgical Extraction, Karakas, Tormod's Crypt, splash black for t1 discard spells, Slaughter Pact, Noetic Scales, Gilded Drake, Curfew just to name a few. Probably grave hate x3-4 (surgical?)...
Instead of explaining, I would just link them completely without any context to

Is it just me, or is this potentially a ridiculously powerful card (well, more powerful 1-of than HUF) in a non LED budget build with...
If you are looking for a non-descriptive name, my vote goes to Uluru (a.k.a Ayer's Rock), which is a huge red rock in Australia and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
...
Personally, I would probably choose 2x Helm + 2x HUF/RtS instead of 4x SSG/random ritual for the budget version. Replacing +3 mana with +1 to +2 mana sounds awful to me. Rocks and HUF can easily save...
...unless if you copy EtW, Tendrils or Grapeshot with it, it's functionally +1 copy of the storm spell, which is functionally similar to +1 storm. Could even be relevant sometimes because the card...
I like:
- Effect is not symmetrical, unlike Helm
- Cheaper instants and sorceries regardless of color
- Optional flipping: you don't need to flip mid-chain until you want to fork your next spell...
Long Term Reanimator player here.
1) If you are facing a bunch of blue combo decks (Ub reanimator and Sneaky show), consider running red blasts in the SB instead of the defense grids. Countering...
HUF is greatest in mid-chain when you don't yet have enough storm for a lethal Tendrils/Grapeshot. It doesn't give fresh cards to our opponent like Reforge the Soul, so HUF is better vs counterspells...
Just read through pages 15-24. Found a remark which had not really been tackled thus far in the thread. Apologies for the semi-necro.
You don't need a level 5 judge for this. It's fairly...
Thanks for the Apocalypse commentary!
Jokulhaups is a similar function card that has been sometimes included in monored stompy sideboards, especially in Japan. Monored stompy needs to board it in...
Sexy list. I need to goldfish what you've built. Removing Tomb life loss to add more relevant t1 plays sounds very promising in theory to me. I've never been 100% sold on Gamble or Overmaster,...
Note: Playtesting with a "rogue deck" that is not widely recognized as a Tier 1/1.5/2/whatever deck poses additional challenges. Even experienced pilots of other decks might have no idea what we are...
I have been goldfishing with 2x Infernal Tutor splashed from black instead of using MD spot discard for the splash. If all of our spells are red, we don't really need the LED color fixing, and if we...
