Congrats on the win. It seems like this challenge was full of post, I played it 3 out of 8 rounds, 2 out of 7 last week. Seems like I can't go without non basic hate anymore. The only thing that...
The way I treat the mirror is I want to be as proactive and aggressive as I reasonably can. I don't want to go too deep on answers, I just want to be able to be casting my spells. So basically as...
Against traditional combo (Storm, SNS, Reanimator) I side out 2 TNN and the 5 Bolts. I do change it up if I for some reason expect stuff like Xantid Swarm, Grim Lavamancer or Monastery Mentor...
I won the Legacy Challenge yesterday with Grixis Delver, 75 can be found here. I copied a Bob Huang list a couple months ago and replaced a Price of Progress with the Flusterstorm before the...
Storm will often wait on their duress effects for when they are closer to going off, T1 cantrips are more common. And DRS is a particularly good threat vs Storm, so I'd lead with that.
I was running it, I cut it to make room for the Supreme Verdict. Other options were to cut EE, one of the 3 Walkers, or a Counterspell, but I went with CJ. I don't nessecarily regret that change, its...
Abrade is an interesting choice. But I don't lack for spot removal to the point I'd value a 2 mana conditional one enough because it can also shatter. Maybe if it could disenchant.
The only...
I won the MTGO challenge this past weekend with UWr Stoneblade, 5-1 in swiss. Red still feels like the right choice to me, I believe it has better game vs Delver with its slightly stronger mana base,...
I think that if you have a spot to give to cheap disruption, the flusterstorm, that you would be better off playing Thoughtseize. I do think that in a vacum Thoughtseize is better than Flusterstorm,...
So I've recently decided that UWx Stoneblade isn't worth playing in this meta given the amount of discard, czech pile running kcommands, and other decks built to outgrind decks like stoneblade, so...
I don't play that same list anymore, but the general idea I adhere to when siding against those sorts of decks are to know if I can play a more controlling game, or if I have to ride a powerful...
Disenchant is better on the mana, Bloodmoon is always kinda hit or miss and unless czech pile becomes the run away best deck I don't think I'll run it.
I don't think Feast and Famine is any better...
Sure running 3 colors will always have tougher mana than 2 colors, but the red is pretty unobtrusive since you don't need to hit red "on curve". And as for your basic mountain not tapping for blue or...
UWr is very similar in playstyle to straight UW, the red just gives you different role players. If you don't want to run a 3rd color you'd just be running more stuff like Council's Judgement and...
I personally haven't had any problems with go wide strats; tnn, jitte, and appropriate use of targeted removal tends to do the job. You don't beat go wide strats by finding enough 1 for 1 removal to...
Jund is the only one of those decks that is what I'd call difficult, because of the density of both answers for our threats and ways to beat us on card advantage. And yes for Jund I'd say the best...
Because Miracles doesn't run TNN or SFM.
And the upside of UWr over Esper, in my opinion, that UWr mana is much stronger, as you don't have to fetch out the 3rd color, black, t1 to make proper use...
You're miss-remembering our match. You had a very good cabal therapy game 2, but it was nabbing 2 Force of Will after I had tapped out counterspelling a glimpse of nature. Think you killed me with a...
Hymn and LotV are primarily midrange / control cards. Even though they are powerful, they are not good tempo / aggro threats, and that playstlye is what makes Grixis the deck it is.
Glad to hear. With Mentor its really just a matter of judging the matchup, as well as opportunity cost with playing it. I think there are enough matchups across the board that mentors adds 5% or so...
Whitefaces, you say that one of the reasons you don't like the red splash is you don't think it helps our worst matchups, just makes our ok matchups better. That's interesting because the reason I...
Played 2 Leagues yesterday with a red (pyroblast) splash. Went 4-1, then 5-0, with my loss being to deathblade. Had trouble hitting any payoff spells to pull me ahead, and then the turn I could cast...
The big reason is that it see's 4 instead of 3, and as a control deck, specifically a draw go control deck, having the card the turn your cast it instead of next upkeep isn't a big drawback, compared...
Predict is being played with ETA because the build is built to beat midrange decks.
Also I disagree with the idea that ETA is better than Mentor vs Show and Tell. From a card to card matchup, Show...
Watch out, you're gonna make Anuraag cry.
