We used to play 22 to 23 lands in this deck.
This is better prize support than EW itself! I wish I could go.
How does one get two byes? The trials award one bye. Just win two trials?
I'm posting this in the RUG forum because it is spiritually a RUG deck. If I post it over on the BUG thread they're just going to tell me to cut Stifles and run a pile of bad cards like Hymn to...
You are looking at manabases and thinking they tell you the entire story of how the game plays out.
For example, against Delver, if your 3-mana sorcery resolves, you're either still dead or...
Personally, I'd rather have Baleful Strix over Lingering Souls almost always. I want a high blue count so I actually have options when I discard.
Do not play Daze in this deck. Similarly, do not...
What is Grip of Phyrexian? What do you mean by flux? Grip of Phyresis, which is terrifying but ultra narrow.
I doubt high tide will ever be played in high enough numbers to deserve its own...
Generally, without fast mana it just doesn't do anything.
Specifically, in this deck:
1. It cripples your own mana development even before you cast it because you have to find your own basics. ...
It's pretty simple, the proven formula is to play 4 snapcasters, play 6-8 removal, and Grim. This puts you in a position to crush creature decks, and still able to board in more than enough to be...
Of these:
Unplayable:
Blood Moon, Chandra, From the Ashes, Fiery Confluence, Sulfur Elemental
Replaceable in esper:
Izzet Staticaster - Zealous Persecution, Toxic Deluge
Lightning Bolt -...
Don't play Daze in your deck that wants to cast a 3-drop into a 4-drop.
I want to hate this deck, but it honestly doesn't look that bad. The combo is pretty clunky, and the deck is extremely mana hungry, but the threat of comboing off is powerful in this kind of control...
Indeed, this is why people are doing it, but it's not a good reason to cut Nimble Mongoose. Instead, it's a good reason to play more removal. Our mana denial deck does not want a mana dork in play....
I have used Hangarback Walker as Baleful Strix 5-6 and found that it does a very good impression. It's probably better than Glint-Nest Crane because a 1/3 can't really block anything, where...
I can't believe 445 pages into this thread the topic is how to beat burn. :confused:
Banning Brainstorm decimates the blue decks. Have fun playing green dudes against Belcher twice a tournament.
If you want to weaken blue, the best card to ban is Ponder. You weaken miracles, you...
It's not a Miracles deck; it's Mentor Control.
Dragonslayer:
Why did you slam a Snapcaster Mage against Sean game 1, and why did you then dig so hard to protect it from Swords to Plowshares?
Neither of those two cards are playable in this format. The real options from black to consider are Thoughtseize/Inquisition over things like Spell Pierce, Dark Confidant, and Lingering Souls. Not...
So to be clear here, you're saying that:
the commander won't come back when Oblivion Ring is removed because it specifically describes "the exiled card"?
the commander will come back when...
Because you don't play narrow silver-bullet sideboard cards for matchups where you are already favored*. If burn is a real problem for your meta, there are very versatile answers that are good in...
Alice targets Bob's Wydwen--who is his commander--with Oblivion Ring's trigger. The trigger resolves and Bob opts to move Wydwen to the command zone. A few turns later, Bob still has not re-cast...
Well that's completely wrong. You don't go up to three Entreat in the mirror or anything, but so many mirror matches are decided by who can find their Entreat first. Siding out my only way to win...
Yes, this game could end in a draw. Games do not end in a draw when a player is activating ability or casting spells to continue the loop. The Worldgorger Dragon loop is entirely the result of...
Fairly simple. How much mana would you be willing to pay for this card and still play it in your legacy deck.
