I didn't intend for my message to come off as dismissive of your opinions based on who you're talking to; I just found it amusing that you were explaining the "old approaches" to the person who came...
This is particularly funny to me because you're explaining this to the person who built the original Monoblue Omniscience deck.
Either way, I think the point he's making here is that Show and...
You are able to keep those hands because Wild Cantor is in your deck, but you have effectively mulliganed down to six anyway by spending Cantor to make the black mana in the first place. I honestly...
"Wild Cantor is so good as filter" doesn't seem like a very compelling argument to me. Wild Cantor is probably the most versatile mana filter effect you can have in this deck, but I don't think that...
Turn 1 D4 with no mana left over is understandable. What I want to stress more is that your plans also should consider what resources you will have after a D4. A D4 that cost you three or four cards...
Understandable. I really do think it's a stretch to say that this deck wins on the first turn 7 out of 10 times, and I think that is just because of the inherent inconsistency of playing so many...
I won't defend the 70% turn 1 win percentage because that seems pretty high to me too. That being said...when you say you're mulling into oblivion, how far down are you mulliganing to? This deck has...
In order for any Belcher hand to do anything, you need:
Business
At least one initial mana source to cast your fast mana
At least two other mana cards to get you to 4+ mana in order to cast your...
Go to the first page of this thread and look at the decklists right before New Phyrexia was released. I don't think much has changed.
Frankly, putting Street Wraith in your deck is a mistake....
People commenting on how inbred MTGO is...is that because people like Grixis decks, or because MTGO is a place where card prices and availability can't artificially make the format seem more balanced...
From the outside looking in, I think that's because Workshop decks spend a lot of time facing off against decks that have decided to just fill their slots with so much air like Flusterstorm, Red...
You're talking about the list with Rite of Consumption, right? Is there a reason to play Boseiju and Rite of Consumption other than Miracles? I know you're preparing for the GP in Kyoto. If you take...
I got first place in another event in my area. As I mentioned before, I decided to test out more discard in my sideboard over Spheres; I played a sideboard with Inquisition of Kozilek (over...
Can you tell us what type of matchups you're bringing Sylvan Library in against, and what cards in your maindeck you're considering cutting in those matches?
Looking at a bunch of lists on MTG Top 8, the typical sideboard cards out of Grixis Delver that interact with us seem to be Surgical Extraction, Diabolic Edict, and Wasteland. In my mind this means...
It completely slipped my mind that Inquisition of Kozilek isn't very good against the actual Show and Tell pieces other than Show and Tell itself. All the available discard choices have their...
So, I'm working on what I want to do for GP Kyoto next month. I really don't get to play much, so I have a few things I've been thinking about but I don't have many opportunities to test. I'm going...
So I won a tournament for a Volcanic Island this past weekend. I copied the most recent list by DNSolver, minus 1 Abrupt Decay, plus one Krosan Grip (that didn't do anything). I have no idea what the...
2 Death and Taxes, 2-3 Maverick and a Lands player sounds like a ton of people playing Karakas + other cards that are terrible for you. If that many people are on those sorts of decks, Not of this...
Crop Rotation has a real cost, but so does playing Not of this World. It feels like I'm a Dredge player with maindeck Nature's Claim in my deck because of one player in my area playing RIP Combo....
Put simply, my metagame has almost no white in it, but I am not cleaning up house because of the games I drop to stumbling against decks that are fast enough to actually punish you for that. We're...
Well, what are you using Mishra's Factory for? Unless I'm missing something, the uses for Mishra's Factory are to beat Edict effects, to block low power ground creatures, and to attack. I guess it...
4 Thespian's Stage
4 Dark Depths
3 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
4 Verdant Catacombs
2 Bayou
1 Blooming Marsh
1 Snow-Covered Forest
1 Snow-Covered Swamp
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Ghost Quarter
jdmdave, what do you like about playing 2 Verdant Catacombs instead of 4? If you're not playing NotW in the main, how do you feel about ovate's suggestion about Expedition Map over Into the North?...
The other side of the coin though is that NotW can straight up lose you the game because it is *completely* dead in some matchups, and you don't need NotW because you're actually playing other...
