There's also almost nothing to jam for :u: in this deck...except for Lorien or Currency. We're not going to play aggro -3 life Island to slammajamma Brainstorm before turn 2.

You don't seem to understand this concept: if Standstill opens a hand with 2-4 lands, we're playing all of them. If we have a land, we're playing it. We are not a midrange deck, we have action at...

It's not close. Lorien is vastly better than Sea Gate and Razortide; every deck across every archetype that runs the landcyclers tells us this (because they don't play those over landcyclers)....

I've only run UWr Triome in the meme builds where red is more either more important (cycle turtle) or I need to hit RR (3cmc Chandra). It's also a card was used before we got better mana tools like...

Lost land drops is a big problem in hard control. Even in midrange decks with Tundra we do not see Daze for a reason. There is also a limit to how much colorless you can play; with the understanding...

The problem is that it's winmore. Currency Converter + cycling is more than enough to win a game of legacy. You get the free pseudo-hasted 2/2 while gaining a turn 1 play and un-Daze'able 2 mana...

The issue you're seeing with Staff is that it's not a 2 mana play. You cast it from 2 mana into the Prismatic Ending format, and you're going to lose - you're UW-based, you can't win with combat...

Counterspell was briefly playable when 5cmc Teferi was printed (1 less mana to hold up compared to 6 mana for JTMS and Cspell). Then it was too slow to be reliable vs Wrenn, and it changed to 3x...

Playing control with worse access to blue mana than a Daze deck is a bit suspect. Here's the numbers on this one from the hypergeometric calculator:
-25.9% chance an opening hand can't produce basic...

Not really. If they want to discard 2 blue cards to stop it, they're at parity, but down to a maximum of 5x Force permissions vs 6x still in our deck. If they were a Daze deck, they don't win by Daze...

^refining your statement.

This is an incorrect understanding. If the hand is Standstill or Shark'nado + E-Tutor, you have a very clear plan: find the missing piece [Standstill or Shark'nado] ->...

Not sure what you're missing here, but if you have the prison effect they can't tolerate (Canonist, for example), the FoV player will come out worse if the next prison effect is going to draw cards...

To expand on what @FTW is talking about:
It's also worth pointing out that playing multiples of the same artifact/enchant SB things, usually means you can't put them onto the table at the same time...

The thing about channel Turtle is that is isn't removal (unless you're hitting a token). You still need to answer the problem, so you're down a card and you need a second card to actually answer what...

@Reeplcheep we're not really getting anything worthwhile from the entire green color, it is not getting a basic Forest slot. It wouldn't even get a Savannah slot were it not for Timeless Dragon....

You take a stock list, cut into the utility land and Ending fraction and cut the basic Mountain. Add 4 Boseju, swap Plateau to Savannah to maintain x+2 Plains where x = 3 Timeless. Make 1 cut for...

What I'm saying with Daze is that if I'm against a Delver deck, both are 5 mana PWs. The flash bit matters a bit less this late. If we trace Emporer's best case scenario we save 1 hit and gain 2...

Let's review how Uro decks work: they tap out and jam like any midrange strategy -> they mill 5 lands from GY to exile with their Uro -> then they Endurance over and over, until every card in their...

I think most of those PWs are Ajannis and/or dude-centric. The best green PW last time I checked is Grist followed by Nissa of the 5/5s. It'd be really tough to beat out Nahiri's ability to spam [-2]...

While Turtle is cool and all, we've already got everything covered with Sevinne's re-up Heliod, Heliod re-up enchants, Burning Wish gaining another pair of 2 mana plays + re-up Heliod by Wish target...

Competitive legacy is key. There is a card called Endurance, and it cannot be ignored. The only correct way to play Replenish is to Burning Wish for the 1x - preferably with Teferi in play. There is...

The thing is that Wandering Emporer is 4 mana, so it's the same card as Nahiri on 4 mana (dead to Daze). Have to wait 1 more turn on Emporer to hit 5th land, and their attacking dude is tapped, so...

Cling is free/random maindeck yard hate, plus it helps black mana find blue, and it is a non-Pyroblast'able value engine. It is as important to black as Timeless is to white. These are Daze killers,...

The issue with UWb is that black really doesn't have anything going for it as a tertiary color:
-You're not going to skip Verdict to pick up black's fast, color un-intensive 3cmc wrath.
-You're...

@FTW nice work on the 4-0. Just reading your report you're getting use out of the tools. The whole reason for B Wish is that there really isn't a better way to efficiently use 2 mana, and that's the...
