There is a series of posts a few pages back from Zturgeon, a fantastic pilot of this deck, where he goes over some of his deckbuilding logic and sideboard strategies.

If you are going to run a looter as an Imperial Recruiter target, Deal Broker is 3 CMC also, colorless, a 2/3, and an artifact for welder.

Played against him, I believe it was essentially the BUG Noble Duke list with leo, deathrite, heirarch, true-name but also splashing white for STP and other SB cards I...

My problem with shortcake now is that enlightened tutor is a bad card. Sensei's divining top is a really good card that made enlightened tutor a much better card than it is alone. Without SDT...
In the 2 months leading up to the ban I was on 4 SDT, and I wish I had saved some data but I was absolutely killing it online, I had something like a 5-0 every other day. It got me the tickets to...
I mostly agree on Karn, although making blockers can actually be valuable I'm not sure if he's any better than the swath of 4cmc CA engines we already have access to.
Damping sphere probably isn't...
I agree, easy casting cost, generates card advantage, and makes a blocker/threat to protect himself if necessary. Its not particularly broken but it's a nice card for grindy matchups.
Stompy is usually trying to land a turn 1-2 moon effect in 80% of matchups, they run 27 mana sources for a reason. The deck is already built to work with sol lands tapping for R. I think this card...

+1: Draw a card. At the beginning of the next end step, untap two lands.
−3: Put target nonland permanent into its owner's library...
Interesting cards for us from the Dominaria leak.

If a land is tapped for two or more mana, it produces C instead of any other type and amount.
Each spell a player...
I had intended to write a full report but between work and life I haven't had the time, but I placed second at a 80-man 1k at Geek Fortress, a shop in the Seattle area, on Feb 18th. I had a variety...
Most of your points seem to be debating the semantics of terms that you define and then redefine yourself. If "Ponder/BS/FoW" is a "core" how is "Cryptic/Snap/Serum visions" not a "core?" Because at...
While TNN is linear and format warping I don't think it is to an extent that it breaks the format. There are answers in a variety of colors and decks that ignore him completely
Personally I'm fine...
I think a variety of archetypes with various match up weights that keep each other in check is inherent to the game design in magic, so yes it is a factor in modern as well. But the format is slower...
A combo deck that is vulnerable to grave hate, creature removal, and countermagic and takes 3-4 turns to go off isn't really comparable to legacy combo, but I see your point. I mean they have...
I dont get this kind of thinking. If you honestly dislike combo play modern. I'd consider t1 force check decks like TES and BR reanimator to be even more brainless by your standards, and they're all...
I'm playing 3 wish 3 omni 1 intuition 11 cantrips.
I personally find the deck loses very little consistency. Cantrips are more than enough to craft a winning hand, with the reward of the deck more...
The cunning wish builds, like the one recently piloted by Chris Dunn, are very good at beating this type of hate card. In general there's not a hoser that totally hoses that build, cunning wish +...
Due to a change in my work schedule I've had to take a break from paper legacy and MTGO lately, but I'm about to jump back in to prep for GP Seattle. Going to be testing blood sun and other tech....
In that deck if they let you resolve a wish banefire is pretty great.
However I've had trouble against control with every variation of this deck lately, wish or traditional. It feels like if I...
I agree that traditional aggro lists aren't dead at all, it's 100% a meta call. I'd caution against going halfway though. The strength of the walker build is a stronger prison angle and essentially...
I added cave-in, it is pretty sweet. I swapped it for banefire which is fairly weak but I enjoyed throwing uncountable lethal damage at miracles opponents in the late game a couple times.
...
My thinking was that it plays around both countermagic against stoneblade and teeg against maverick, although the latter doesn't see a ton of play. By Force is certainly worth considering though.
