61 card maindeck makes me sad. Something has to be unnecessary here.

If you're running a transformational sideboard, definitely do bomberman over SNT/Emrakul. Too many people are gunning for that. You should try to run a single LED main anyway - if you have a welder...

Basically this. Painter w/MMS is better than Painter w/o MMS. However, Painter w/o MMS is better vs a metagame w/o MMS than Painter w/MMS is against a metagame w/MMS. If you know what I mean. We're...

Then lets go back to an older style list. Nothing's stopping us from REBing STP once we resolve Painter.


4 Painter's Servant
4 Grindstone

4 Goblin Welder
2 Trinket Mage

3 Mox Opal

So, MMS is banned. That essentially re-kills Hive Mind. We can be a deck again. What do we put in MMS' place?

The problem with the Bomberman combo is that it's 3 cards. 3 card combos are mediocre, especially when you already run a better one.

Spellskite, Magus/Moon, Llawan, and Misdirect are all competing for slots.

Also, we appear to be a DTB now. Wheee.

So what are people's thoughts on Spellskite?

Why do you run a 1-of TA over a 1-of Trinket Mage? You wind up down a card rather than up one.

Congrats. About time somebody got the memo that only 1 LED is the right play. Glad it worked!

The transformational sideboard is against one of the two things Painter loses to:
-Redundant amounts of removal
-Your opponent playing Emrakul/Progenitus
Redundant amounts of removal are pretty...

ivan, I feel its wrong to not even play 1. Playing 1 lets you intuition for it and combo pieces and just win. I can't think of why I wouldn't want one.

Also, on the Bomberman combo in the board -...

Back to the general U/R list, here's a potential alternative to the ickiness that is SnT/Emrakul in the SB.

Currently in the top 4 of the SCG Open in Orlando...

4 Painter's Servant
4 Goblin...

There needs to be at least 1 LED so you can intuition for LED/Painter/Stone with welder in play and just win.

So lets just say NPH is out. Does the deck suddenly look something like...

4 Painter
4 Grindstone
3 LED
3 Opal
4 Top

4 Welder

Those flex slots may just become MMS slots though.

I don't know about Misstep. Is it really worth dropping (in your case) a Pyro, 2 LEDs, and trinket mage over?

That would be appreciated. Lets say, for instance, the following scenario.

I have two Seat of the Synod, an active Welder, a Painter, and an Opal in play.
I play Intuition. I have no artifacts in...
