    Re: [Primer] UWx Miracle Control

    I'm playing Mentor Miracles with Daze.

    When playing against Death and Taxes, what are must counter cards? Is it worth FoWing a T1 Vial? How about T2 Stoneforge Mystic or Thalia?

    I find Thalia...

    Re: [DTB] Jund

    It's not so obvious which order is better. It depends a lot on the situation. Saying one is always correct is wrong.

    Re: [DTB] Jund

    My thoughts:

    Most people will probably say it's better to Thoughtseize and then Hymn, but I think there are exceptions. It depends on how many cards your opponent has in his hand and whether you...

    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    It's less aggresssive (less creatures) than the usual Aggro Loam, but with more control elements.

    EDIT: Obviously better against Sneak and Show due to Knight & Karakas compared to RGB, which seems...

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    Please, Deathrite Shaman and Mental Misstep do not compare. Your point regarding CMC is ridiculous because Misstep was cast for 2 life most often anyway. Not to mention, it could be played in ANY...

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    So what if Deathrite Shaman is becoming a format staple? Dark Confidant and Stoneforge Mystic are or were played in a lot of decks and can be considered staples, so do you want them banned too?

    I haven't tried Boros Charm but I don't like it much, to be honest. I wouldn't replace Price of Progress with it.

    Too bad Boros Charm can't deal 4 damage to a creature.

    @Deathrite Shaman and Pithing Needle: Pithing Needle stops all three abilities of Shaman. Also, if you exile the card targeted by Shaman the ability fizzles. Useful if you have your own Shaman or a...

    Rubblebelt Raiders is terrible in Legacy.

    They could have given it haste at least.

    Re: [SCD] Domri Rade

    As already mentioned, you need Top or Library in order to use the +1 ability reliably. But do you want to play Top in a probably aggressive RGx deck? It's a bit of a mana sink if your goal is to rush...

  18. Re: Get your friend's into the format! Legacy viable decks averaging 500.00$ & under!

    Unfortunately none of those decks pack many cards which can be used to build other decks. Belcher (LED, Taiga, Chrome Mox) seems the best in that regard. I don't think it's worth investing in a deck...

    Battalion seems like it could go well together with normal tokens though.

    Re: [Deck] Aggro Loam

    Yeah, I guess Terminate is better. For some reason I'm always a bit hesitant to play it due to its casting cost. Most likely unwarranted though, especially now with Shaman.

    The sideboarding against UW makes sense, but I'm unsure about boarding Lavamancer out against RUG. He shoots Delvers down and lets you win Goyf wars. I suppose the problem is his CMC of 1, when...
