Good tech. What were you running?
For comparison I tested an RB version using Beseech instead of Empty
//Lands: 15
4 Shatterskull Smashing
4 Bloodstained Mire
3 Badlands
1 Bayou
3 Troll of Khazad-dûm
You might be right about Smallpox vs Nullhide. But neither dte or GoblinSmashmaster have commented on it yet.
I was offering to take a turn doing the work, but if you already have a season...
I switched to blue instead and tested this:
If ramping to 6 anyway, why not cast Mind's Desire instead of Empty? Then it's all dragons, no pesky goblins.
//"Lands": 16
4 Sea Gate Restoration...
I tested this a bit. The Empty the Warrens hands felt so weak. You don't want to make 1/1 Goblins, especially not past turn 1 (if taking a turn to develop mana, discard, Galvanic Relay, etc.). Empty...
Like Scott suggested, let's say the game plan is to be resilient to Force by avoiding tutors and counterable payoffs. Use redundant storm wincons instead of relying on cards like Goblin Charbelcher,...
Did your last list have SSG or were they just added? Maybe I missed it in the Moxfield formatting. If so, ignore that comment. As you can see above, my comment assumed you had 0 SSG. 13 red seemed...
Moving this discussion over from the other thread, to avoid derailing the spoiler thread.
This thread is for storm builds around the new card...

They're small tuning things that wouldn't show up goldfishing but would affect how the deck plays against Tier 1 decks. Overall the deck idea looks good. Good luck!
Interesting deck!
If you prefer UG to UW, a few things:
1) 3 Run Afoul or Pick Your Poison in the SB help with scary flyers (Marit Lage, Archon of Cruelty, Emrakul, Murktide). Otherwise UG...
Interesting idea.
9 permanent colored Initial Mana Sources (1 Mountain + 4 MDFC + 4 Mox). 13 including Petal. Feels a little low. You do have 5 sol lands but can't really do anything without red....
The Malcolm deck is atypical. It's a brew from a small weekly event of 13 players. See the other decks linked above. The other builds are doing better.
The most successful build now is Bant (UWG)....
Thrull does a lot of useful stuff in non-Goldfish games, because it disrupts the opponent at instant speed. Because it's a removal target, an extra copy is not a bad thing.
4 Thrull has been the...
It would certainly work. The problem is why? Dragon is strong enough on its own. Once you're on Dragon, that becomes its own plan.
-12 Surveil Cards
- 4 Eye
+16 good cards
Win rate goes way up...
It's still good at removing stuff, punishing draw effects, and pressuring opponent's life total. It kills enemy Bowmaster, DRC, unflipped Delver, Questing Druid before it gets counters, Coatl/Strix,...
Good point. At least Punishing Fire gets it. The last build I tested had 3x Trophy main so cards like that weren't an issue. Cut those for cute stuff. Might need to trim some cute stuff to be a...
Congrats 4dogs on the win! Thanks for running this season.
Congrats to dte for 2nd place.
Since there was still interest in 4CB the last few rounds and so many of you have done the work of...
That's interesting and would change the shape of the deck a lot, since you don't need Ruby Medallion to go off and prefer Mountains to Sol Lands.
It may be a hybrid with the Belcher shell......
Seems funny to play right before Galvanic Relay (double draw) or Bonus Round (maybe win-more) or whatever version of Jeska's Will they now play (do you have to choose the same mode for each storm...
Yeah, along the theme of other cards, it's an upgrade for past Legacy (Ethereal Forager, Young Pyromancer, Sprite Dragon) but underpowered for this format.
It's easy enough to enable with DRC...
Sounds like a fair deck. Or under-fair deck.
Sadly unfair decks can't satisfy the condition.
The new Jitte looks good at helping big Constructs avoid blockers, or helping dorks become better...
It seems like intentional design to avoid unfair decks using it. Unfair decks can't satisfy the condition. Fair decks can easily but can't do impressive things with Hideaway.
What about a BUG build?
Ice-Fang Coatl seems bad in a Bowmasters meta. You want it to ambush Murktide, but most Murktide decks run Bowman so it doesn't do what you need it to do (the draw causes...
