It's possible but unlikely this would work in grixis tezzeret in place of signets. It reduces tons of cards and blocks. However the deck might not produce enough colored mana without the signets....

Going to talk through Richmond on my stream at about 3 pacific time.

I don't see many of you guys playing Nahiri, the Lithomancer. Is there an earlier discussion where it was decided that she isn't good enough? I have been trying to figure out what to do with a couple...
I tried Kess but I was under the impression that you could cast things on both turns. Somehow I misread the card on paper the same way that MTGO seems to. Given how it actually works, I don't think...
I have been following along the two enchantress threads recently. Freggle, are you the only one not playing Enchantress's Presence? That seems like a pretty massive divergence, and in the pages I...
Last night I played a league with 4 kozilek's channeler in the deck. It's not great, but it was strong in a couple games. It is WAY easier to cast than Thran Dynamo, but I probably won't use it again.
I haven't tried it. But Thespian's Stage is definitely cool because it is really good against Dark Depths.
Getting several additional business spells in the deck is cool. But even if this is better overall, I think zero Voltaic Keys will make it much harder to beat decks with Blood Moon or repeated...
I definitely got punked this weekend, no doubt about that. But that HAD to happen eventually. Oddly enough, I didn't play against a tier one deck during the open (although I wasn't in it for that...
I never change up my versions of cards, but I think you guys are crazy for hating on the new stuff. I think they are cool. If they came in non-foils I would actually consider playing them.
Even if we boarded out the Tops, we aren't averaging six minutes a game.
Ignoring everything besides the decklists, yes I think Legends is favored. But that doesn't get you very far. I don't think anyone knows how much a player can sway a matchup. Using miracles as the...
The deck is very good, but not overwhelming to the degree that some people fear. During the last big legacy event weekend (Eternal Extravaganza, MKM Milan, and the MTGO Challenge), Miracles got 5 out...
I think it is important to examine all the plays in a scenario. Something that I like to mention on stream regularly is how often people play the wrong land on T1. In JBMage's situation, there is...
This is a bizarre comparison. Slaughter Games is beyond fringe; I have not played against it in over a year. Winter Orb is a powerful card that I expect every RUG/Grixis Delver deck to have.
EDIT:...
I have been feeling that I redrew the same card off Ponder shuffles at an unusually high frequency lately. I was thinking that the first card was sticking and the rest of the deck was shuffling. I...
I think Surgical also gains value the worse a matchup gets. If you are losing anyway, it might occasionally allow you to get lucky. This happens often in Modern with Tron where the opponent has no...
You shouldn't be missing anything. I thought drocker23 did a reasonable job explaining his point. I don't agree with the concept, but sometimes you will certainly get paid off for it.
Aluren is hard. I imagine we can all agree on that. I think I have played it more often in the past two weeks than the past two years, but that still doesn't amount to very many games. The BUG...
I don't have the experience to answer that question.
I hadn't made the change yet at that point. Since I did it, I have played the 3 force / 2 snare version at all my events.
I don't think there is any real difference in putting together a list for a GP vs SCG. A GP will have an extra thousand players, but it is mostly just more of the same people.
EDIT: I wrote that...
That's a good point. I have always assumed the opposite, but I suppose it is possible that I am picking up more from my opponents than other players are.
Tonight I've been thinking about the difference between playing online and in real life. For a long time I didn't really think there was one. The metagame might shift a little bit here or there...
