    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    The following is the most recent version of "Landstill" I've been running. Admittedly it's basically Enlightened Tutor Control with two Standstills, but it's done fairly well in testing (it gives up...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    How exactly were you planning on having 2 planeswalkers out with the same subtype?

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    I'm actually going to go out on a limb here and say this won't see Legacy play (or will see little play at best among Landstill lists) after the dust has settled from testing.

    4 turns is too long...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    Wouldn't Oblivion Stone or Akroma's Vengeance be better (OStone gives you the possibilities of playing and activating in the same turn)? I realize OStone here actually isn't very good, but my point...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    You just said you haven't test this. I have. Goyf allows you to race against Goblins. Your priorities are:

    Don't allow Lackey to connect.
    Keep Vial from hitting 3 mana. Still winnable if it...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    :rolleyes:

    If they have creatures of their own that you can't counter/kill, then Ajani is awful anyways (read, gets attacked for card disadvantage). That's entirely my point. Ajani is only a...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    A couple points:

    In all the instances where you have the time to make an X/X token, drawing and playing Goyf essentially does the same thing with the exception of not having gained some life in...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    Way to not read the very next sentence.



    My point remains that based strictly on theoretical reasoning, Wrath is not "fundamental" to the strategy Landstill is implementing.

    Is it a good...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    I don't really buy the Ajani giving you the ability to go aggro faster argument. I realize he does other things, like gives you some life and a turn they have to spend attacking him instead of you. ...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    This doesn't make sense at all. The reason I'm suggesting Goyfs is to create a version that shifts the focus from not losing to actively winning. DoJ also wins games, hence keeping it and Dragons...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    With Konsultant's recent win with UWg Landstill, what are people's thoughts of taking cards like Humility & Wrath out for something like Tarmogoyf?

    Something along the lines of:


    //lands (24)...

    Re: [DtB] UW(x) Landstill

    Always is a strong word, I can't tell you the number of time's I've been playing against Ichorid, and they have an opening hand along the lines of LED, City of Brass, Dredge card, Putrid Imp or...

    Re: [DtB] UW(x) Landstill

    I suppose if you guys see that much Life from the Loam, then Wheel could be better. However, none of the arguments provided convince me that it's superior in the Ichorid match up, (where having a...

    Re: [DtB] UW(x) Landstill

    Why would you ever run Wheel of Sun and Moon over Tormod's Crypt?

    Sure if they have back up Loams (or a second Squee in Survival), you need another Tormod's Crypt, but that shouldn't be a huge...

    This is clearly not accurate when you look at Top 8 decklists sections. Say you only took results from the Winter Wonderland Tournament here.

    Here's our estimated breakdowns (of just maindeck...

    Re: Most Powerful win conditions

    23 lands or 24 lands is potentially acceptable. Keep in mind that Crucible + a fetch ensures that the number of lands in your deck goes down every turn (and allows you to respond every turn to their...

    Re: Most Powerful win conditions

    For reference I meant outside Mishra's Factory.

    Can we get any of the Dreadstill players to comment perhaps?

    Also, my personal testing points to Vedalken Shackles being much better than most...

    [Deck] UW(x) Landstill

    Before Legacy (then Type 1.5) got it's own Banned List, Mana Drain helped fuel one of the most absurd control decks in the format, pushing it to be able to beat both aggro decks and combo decks...
