I’m still not comfortable about dropping Slithermuse, if only because it is sometimes exactly the Card I need to get out of a situation. But to be clear, most of my meta is on degenerate combo decks...
I removed Dark Petition because it was specifically the WORST way to spend 5 mana in my deck. If I could resolve that, I could also resolve a PiF. The bonus to PiF is that is can also cast from GY,...
I like him well enough, pretty decent guy from my region and he’s not a miserable player like some streamers.
Ran back another 3-1 finish tonight with updated list. For reference:
3 Elvish...
Anyone else see Jeff Hoogland piloting this deck lately? He’s on the PSI list, swapping IGG a for PiF, 1 ESG for 1 SSG, DRS out for Skyshroud, 1 Land Grant out for 1 Git Probe and 1 of something else...
You know why I freaking hate using this forum?
I just typed up the entire tournament Report for tonight (3-1 finish, some fun lines taken) and when I hit submit, it told me I wasn’t logged in.

How do you like the 8 discard post board? And against blue, is cabal therapy always naming FoW the first time?
I definitely agree that Kobold SI and RoboSI are more consistently going turns 2+ and winning, as you'll often just lose to a Pact on T2/3 if you fizzle (usually will, sometimes we have perpetual...
I disagree, Pact is EITHER a dude OR a mana. 2 Pact/Pact + ESG = 1 B mana, which neither robots nor kobolds create.
I gotcha. I've been considering 7 discard spells +MB over the Pacts, cantor DRS skull winder. Then again I feel like that diluted my g1 against nonU decks, so maybe I'll just board into it.
Ah I see. And when you are goldfishing do you take the all-out approach for a T1 win or do you play it as if it's a real game and wait for T2/3 on some hands missing a resource?
I sat through and...
What's your list look like?
ALSO: the lands player brings in sphere of resistance like a MOFO, really shoots me down. Should I just be trying to race that card?
Would you mind sharing your list?
My meta is 7-8 FoW decks (4 are tempo), 1 lands deck, 1 BR reanimator, and a smattering of randoms. There's only 1 problem I've faced against FoW decks and it's...
I gotcha. I like Land Grant in gold fish but I hated it against FoW decks when I finally played them. Testing Verdants this week, although I am not sure if SSG is what I want in that slot.
I'm...
How frequently does SSG help out your opening hand? And do you ever find a fetch dead in hand when you've already played a land that turn and need to be hellbent for Infernal tutor?
I'm playing the exact list posted 5-0 on mtggoldfish a page or two back. Haven't changed anything yet
Played a 4-round 16-man tonight.
R1 Young Frankenstein 1-2
G1 On the draw, Mull to 4, try to go off T1 -> FoW. Don't rebuild fast enough before he puts Iona into play.
G2 T1 win on the play ...
My point in asking the question, knowing ANT is extremely consistent and a turn 3-4 deck, is why play SI if you're just a less-consistent, less-resilient ANT deck when you tune everything down.
By...
Further question, what are the advantages to playing SI over ANT?
I win a lot of fizzled hands on T2/3 because I fizzled into a hand full of mana and I need business, so I'm just waiting for a business spell.
Question against unknown opponent: better to go for...
I edited to add a second question.
My list is almost identical, 4 land grant for 4 fetch, 2 GCB for 2 SSG, playing bayou etc.
On the play against an unknown opponent, do you just go for it?...
Ah gotcha, so you're playing a slower version to overcome the blue spells.
I feel like I would just pick up and play ANT if I wanted to be a T2-4 combo deck with a good control MU. I picked this...
Do you ever miss the free wins with GCB on t1? Multiple games have went land grant -> dryad arbor into play, land grant -> bayouto hand, lotus petal -> culling the weak -> charbelcher + LED, or some...
Awesome, thanks guys.
Any unintuitive spell chain sequences you guys have handy? I goldfished for 4-5 hours yesterday for my tournament tonight and I've come across some plays I didn't initially...
