I agree to all the Chalice points above. In general if I'm not under pressure (no T1 Delver, Shaman, ...) I give myself time and may play around a potential Daze (of course under the assumption that...

Imo Chalice and Bob are still the best cards.
Play around Daze with Decay. Very common start:
Opp T1 Shaman
You T1 Decay with Mox or just wait a turn. Anyways always kill the Shaman if you can....

The beauty of Deluge is that you only hit your non Knight creatures. KotR is always big enough. Also it is a reliable spell for 3cmc. Against Elves waiting one more turn to crack Deed micht be...

Actually 27 lands including Dryad Arbor is pretty usual. It's 26 mana producing lands without Arbor and we always want to throw something into Chalice. With DD combo it is more like 27 lands + Arbor...

Well, the DD combo might indeed be a thing in there.
I think Elves shouldn't be too bad as Chalice still does a lot here. Canonist and Containment Priest are still VIPs against Elves. Lili wasn't...

Hi everyone,

I recently tried some different kind of Aggro Loam. I designed it to crush the annoying Grixis lists :D

4 Dark Confidant
4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
4 Knight of the Reliquary...

Of course, Brutality is great. I played one main, one side a few weeks ago. However, I had a lot of situations recently in which I 2for1ed myself (kill Shaman but didn't get a card to discard, due to...

Don't know. Just experimenting with that one slot. It feels like a lot of games are about value these days. I 2for1ed myself very often with Brutality. Like, opponent brainstorming in response and...

Since a long time this deck plays 3 Leylines. I think 3 is the number if you do not want commit everything to gravehate but still want a reasonable chance to draw it.

SB slots are worth a lot and...

Well, recent results show, that Miracles isn't gone. Chalice on 1 + Gaddock Teeg is hard lock for the new Miracles lists:

Well, besides Blood Moon which can be handled via Moxes we just lose to Sneak Attack and Through the Breach. Usually the mono red stompy decks ramp and can put an Emrakul/Worldspine Wurm into play...

Well, I don't think that Cabal Pit is bad right now. I think there are way more applications than Prelate. It is basically a removal spell we can get out of KotR. With Loam it is a recurring removal...

Well, if they have a threat and you not then you need to ignore it imo. Just play something, ideally EOT, such that they have to discard. But don't wait too long. I mean, people draw 3 with Ancestral...

Yes, I can try :) I will do it (and answering the other questions) tomorrow evening. But probably I won't be able to remember most stuff. I a usually not boarding after a strict plan.

Hi,

well, first there is of course the money thing. I do not own either card although I had the possibility to play them as I have connections. However I decided to practice without those cards as...

Well, it may sound weird but I usually board out 2 PFires. It is just depressing having PFire while facing Leyline and most of the time you hit just 4 creatures with it, namely Bobs. As we anyway...

Well, no, it was more a reference to Patrick Chapin's super hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnYhG_ekoH8 :laugh:

Tireless Tracker could be a thing. However, I am a fan of non-creature threats and non-decayable threats. That said, Planeswalkers. I don't if Garruk, Chandra or Ajani is better. Well, probably Jace...

Well, as we do not have real lifegain and play Bobs I somehow never wanted two Deluges. Of course, your chances to hit one are bigger but if you draw both you often can only play one. Besides that...

Thanks! Well, whenever I drew it I liked it. I didn't see it very often this weekend but my win against Burn in the 2nd game was definitely on the back of this card. Against Elves it is super strong,...

Hi everyone,

I'm the confused looking guy who top8'ed the MKM series with (classic) Aggro Loam this weekend. There is also one feature match on twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/139161769)...

@MatsOle: Is Vindicate really better than Pulse? I mean, Vindicate hits a land but despite that Pulse is better. Also green is more in our colors than white. I'm really interested in the reason why...

Hm, maybe I was lucky in the past, but I'm sure my combo MU is positive.

But we will see how the meta adopts. Right now we only can guess.

I would say Aggro Loam/Maverick > "fair" combo (ANT sytle). If you have at least 1-2 untap steps jam Thalia, chalice (on 0 in worst case) and try to get Teeg.
After boarding it usually gets even...

More "Green" decks (Maverick, NicFit, etc.) also means more combo decks -> You want Chalices I think.
