    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Greetings,

    After reasonable success with Coval's list two weeks ago, I decided to try running it again this week, again with a few minor modifications (taking the liberty to run a 2-2-2-2...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Of the 5 delver variants that made the Top 8 of EW, only the RUG Delver list ran Stifle. The winning deck was a BUG Delver list with more of a control slant. The three Grixis delver lists all...

    LOL. As both a seasoned legacy player and level two judge, I am well aware of the limitations of Pithing Needle. I have played this opponent a number of times in the past and know that his list...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    Greetings,

    I judged over the weekend at EW and got to check out a lot of cool takes on Grixis Delver. Notably, I got to be the camera/stream judge for the Vintage Top 8 and the quarterfinals of...

    Greetings All!

    Another week, another Legacy locals in the books. I again ran the same list (starting to lean towards tuning the sideboard). I ended 3-1 in matches losing a close match to Burn.

    I have played in two more weekly legacy events since my last post. Piloting the same list [Hoogland's] to a 3-2 and 3-0-1 results.

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Tempo

    I would say a decent amount of testing. As evident from the previous post, there is no testing versus some of the new decks to beat, such as, the Grixis Tempo mirror, Elves, Czech Pile and UW...

    I have been a long time Delver player. In the past I have played RUG and BUG delver variants for much of my Legacy career. However, with the banning of Sensei's Divining Top and...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (BUG Delver)

    Greetings,

    I have been away for some time now. However, I have been able to do a bit more playing rather than judging lately. I won our 8-man local event this week. I played the following:

    Re: [DTB] Team America (BUG Delver)

    Greetings All,

    It has been awhile since my last post. I have been judging more frequently now than playing (with the exception of Legacy locals). I played a fairly standard BUG Delver list with...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (BUG Delver)

    I am actually surprised that Dispel doesn't see more Legacy play. It counters most of the format's removal in Lightning Bolt, Swords to Plowshares, and Dismember (which has been on the rise). It is...

    Re: [DTB] Grixis Control / Thieves

    Kolaghan's Command seems poor against Tempo match ups due to Daze/Spell Pierce. Getting to kill a delver and either buyback a Strix/Jace or force them to discard, seems very strong. There appear to...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (BUG Delver)

    The guys above beat me to it. The reason to include one or two Bayou is typically a consideration of the spell distribution in your deck. If you are trying to cast black spells, especially double...

    It is a constant decision point that allows players the opportunity to waste time knowingly or unknowingly.




    Totally agree. We should give them out more frequently and for shorter...

    I am firmly pro-banning on SDT. Do I think that it will happen, probably not. On a completely separate topic, if Punishing Fire style decks were being played in similar numbers to say Miracles,...

    My local legacy play group goes through a discussion like this maybe once or twice a year. There are many points to consider when calling for the banning of a card. Some may include:

    I would echo the sentiments above. This is a hobby not a job for most of us. Most hobbies cost money and for that money deliver us enjoyment. If you are really not having fun then maybe this isn't...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (BUG Delver)

    Countersquall certainly has some upside in its text; however, Negate's upside is in mana cost/flexibility. I have certainly kept a number of one land hands with this deck, doing so with...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (BUG Delver)

    The Negate does sound like it might be worth a shot. Hard counters for opposing planeswalkers as well as for combo match ups are a decent way to work this. Golgari Charm or the like for Baleful...
