    [Information] Two-Man Tournament III - The Lists

    Here are the lists that I and Zach will be using for our little project.

    Now, let's make one thing clear: neither he nor I intend to spend time explaining, much less defending, every single choice we made. This thread is for informational purposes, not to ask for input, and unless some clear mistake turns up in the next 24 hours these lists are final.

    So if you think that List X sucks and doesn't belong, feel absolutely free to rant about it in this thread, but as a rule you should not expect your opinion to be heeded or even answered.

    Comment: Some people would perhaps have preferred, say, Taco's version. However, this list has two top 8s in >100 person tournament and a bunch of smaller ones. And it doesn't hurt that I like it better than either the creatureless or Tarmogoyf version.

    Comment: Actually a mash-up of several lists on deckcheck.net. I wanted to cram Tarmogoyf in, but I would have had to cut either Wish or Force and they were the least tested option. Or Wall of Roots, but goodbye to the curve then.

    Comment: Yeah, it's Rager, not Negator. It makes kind of sense, since the main attractions of Black Stompy are the CA sources. I'm still skeptical, but as always, when in doubt, I go with the list that has the most actual results.

    Comment: Courtesy of killemallcfh. According to the Merfolk thread, there's two main approaches to the tribe: mana denial and control. Both are basically unproven, so it was a coin flip.

    Better by what definition? I think they'll be fine with what they can get. Lonelybaritone is married to the enchantress after all.

    Re: [Information] Two-Man Tournament III - The Lists

    I think the Goyf Sligh list could use some help. Cursed Scroll is to slow and you need to be running 4 x Grim Lavamancer. I still play Kird Ape over Fanatic but that is a personal preference. 4 magma Jet is one to many, it does help with fixing you lib. but 3 is enough. The list you posted only Runs 18 land w/ 7 Fetchs, I found that 19-20 land with 6 fetchs was optimal. When I was running 18 I would never draw land when I needed it.

    Just some thoughts...

    Telling Zach Tartell how to build/play enchantress is like trying to tell Ron Jermey how to fuck or Tiger Woods how to play golf...This man knows the deck.

    Re: [Information] Two-Man Tournament III - The Lists

    For the love of god remove 2 Werebears from the Canadian Thresh list and add in Wipe Away and the final Spell Snare, and put in 2 Pithing Needles in the board instead of Control Magic, they don't belong. The sideboard is open for change, but the maindeck is quite fixed in results that it has put up. Actually, I don't know if it will make a huge difference, it is just 2 slots. But I would never cut a Snare.

    Re: [Information] Two-Man Tournament III - The Lists

    I think that there should be two aggro loam builds, as the two are definately distinct (chalice/explosives versus non). I also would like to see how the white splash would fare up. Intuition Welder seems like a space filler so I think that could be tossed and you could put up the other type of aggro loam (seeing as how its a DTB and all... the two different builds are as different as the two dreadstill decks and the affinity decks). I could provide the RGw list I toped 4 with at the second RI tournament.

    To join in the complaining, use BC's updated version of SI, it's much more solid, with the tombstalker sb.

    Call me old fashioned, but I'm pretty sure that Exhume counts too. It's just grouped weirdly. Additionally, it was made clear in the comments that it wasn't Rod's list.

I could provide the RGw list I toped 4 with at the second RI tournament.
    I'd've appreciated you speaking up like last week. Since we've seeded everything, collected lists, and set up play dates (not like on a calendar - like the type where your mom brings you over to Italy to play nerd cards with a perfect stranger) we'll unfortunately have to wait until the next set (which I'd totally do if I continue my perfect no-hitter on the job market.

    I wondered this at the beginning and I agree but i think since the 64 decks have been picked and the actual games are starting that its too late.

    Also should there be cabal therapies inside of a reanimate deck considering you have 5 creatures that you may be willing to flashback the therapy (4 imp 1 prowler). I mean you may be able to finish a game with a bogardan by sacrificing and bringing back, but I would run 2 more thoughtseizes and one more animate dead.

    The life loss might be too much then switch a angel of wrath for another nishoba.

    I think quinn needs 3 SDT. 3 Runed Halo is probably too much. How did gilded light make it into the deck? It probably needs more winners too.

    The Extirpates in my Sui Black MB are not random, they are fucking rediculously overpowered in that list. It's not even fair. Have you gotten a chance to play the deck on MWS yet?

    That Demon Stompy List should definitely play Dusk Urchins over Muse and SoLS over SoFI.

    Urchins are awesome (it often is a pain for DS to get BB or CMC 4) and can easily come down turn one. If the opponent has no answers, they win the game on their own and very often they offer you a 2:1 deal.

    SoLS is very synergetic with
    -Urchins
    -Imp
    -Ancient Tomb
    -Grinning Demon

    Pro White is very nice as well.

    It would be kind if you kept me up with decklist changes.

    I actually quite like the muses, they're a good Confidant-replacement. I'd put the Bane of the living's in the SB, replace them with dusk Urchins and ofcourse L&S over F&I. The Banes are only really necessary against aggro.

    EDIT: also, i'd tool teh RGb gobbo SB more towards combo, now it only does something against belcher and scoops to storm-combo.

    All fixed (+1 Blinkmoth Nexus; +4 Counterspell; +1 Goblin Sharpshooter; -2 Midnight Banshee wtf; switch to Bryant's latest T8 list rather than a thread list; -1 Anarchy)
