I think chains is at its most potent when you play in a cantrip heavy meta, and/or plan on draw-step locking your opponent
1) While I admit that drawing the second cursed scroll can be incredibly awkward, it is a potent enough threat that I am perfectly fine having it as a dead draw to discard to lili/smallpox later if...
ran a legacy side event at gp denver 4-0, had a blast.
R1, Burn 2-0
His deck didn't like him. game 1 he flashed me an eidolon while shuffling, so I knew what to play around, turn 1 lili, pitch a...
Without having tested it, i'm going to say that yes it probably was. name death rite, aether vial, rishadan port, thespian stage, sneak attack, grisselbrand, equipment, and jace the mind sculptor....
So the issues I have with night's whisper are that it costs both mana and life, which are two very tight resources when you are playing pox, in spite of the 24 land mana base. If you're looking for a...
So for the SB, if you're expecting fair decks, the duress are going to be fairly underwhelming, as they're either going to hit very little that matters, or you can expect a 'Brainstorm in response.'...
So, i'm going to let you know that the fifth and sixth one mana discard spells are slightly excessive. they'll wind up clogging your hand when you're in a pseudo top deck war and need gas, i would...
Stopping food chain is basically a matter of using your discard/other permission wisely. Pithing needle doesn't do anything (chain is a mana ability) so your best shot is to keep them off of mana or...
Potentially some sick lands tech. I have a 20/20 too!
The deck has roughly the same top deck power that put it on the map in Reid's hands in the first place. I'm inclined to think that you still want veil Liliana, since her main purpose hasn't changed...
I mean, 'if it worked it would be played' kind of applies to the entirety of this archetype. I acknowledge that chains is likely better in 90+% of situations, especially draw step locking people with...
I think oppression is a fine substitute for chains, especially as long as you have dark rituals in the deck.
Wrong forum for mono red stax
Bitterblossom is basically useful against any f the slower decks f the format. It can win games singlehandedly against leovold decks, shardless decks, delver decks and can buy very large swaths of...
It's entirely plausible that part of your issue with storm (and quite possibly other fast combo decks as well) is that you have no acceleration to get your haymakers out quickly. Even a mox diamond...
So for that style deck I would probably want 2 more lands and at least two more fetches and a cabal pit somewhere in the mana base. I also don't want the tireless tracker in the main and am not sold...
That it has a lot of potential as long as you have control of the rest of the game except their dudes or are able to heavy accelerate it out. Otherwise toxic deluge is likely just better
I think the chains miracles has a lot of potential if you expect a late game meta (see enchantress, leovold, delver decks, and the like) where I would tinker with a 7-8 pox list for a more combo...
Interesting. Pox/Stax hybrid could be something worth looking at.
I don't think you can afford Bob without the ability to actually dictate what's on top of your library. I agree that Kaya is good, and I think that she's among the reasons to go B/W. for your mana...
I'm not terribly fond of empty the pits. in general, it isn't quite efficient enough at BBBB since the zombies come in tapped. One of the things i like about most of the builds that are floating...
So while it takes the same number of turns to pop bomb and disk for a 'jace clear', it's worth noting that the bomb still costs less mana (5for play and activate disk, 5+land drop for activate ruins...
With the fact that disk is 4 mana, 1 to activate, buried ruin takes a land drop, and disk doesn't actually kill planeswalkers but does kill your crucible, the argument about ratchet bomb taking too...
By and large, you would rather have ratchet bomb unless you can hit 3 counters on explosives. Also, that's mana Hungary enough that id just runnan ob, or an attrition next to a bloodghast or some...
I agree that the loss of miracles is a kindness to pox. Grays and ghost to you both. I just wish there were more legacy tournaments that I got to play.
