    - StifleWaste so that they can't play spells
    - Blast the TNN
    - Daze/FoW/w-e the spels they get to play once they reach 2+ mana
    - Grudge/Mutate the equipment so that they're left with Squires.
    - fly over the TNNs that get through the counterwall
    - burn FTW

    Sadly, this ain't completely easy.
    I just find the matchup to be more difficult on the draw.

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Thresh (a.k.a. RUG Tempo, Tempo Thresh)

    Tinkering with my sideboard for BoM 9 (i.e. a very open metagame, with plenty of BUG and Miracles expected). I play the Thresh 54 list, with 3 Pierce, 2 Snare and 1 open slot (F/I, Forked or Dismember, undecided). Here's where I'm at:

    1 TNN
    1 Sulfur Elemental
    2 Flusterstorm
    2 Submerge
    3 Pyroblast
    2 Rough // Tumble
    1 Ancient Grudge
    1 artifact removal (Destructive Revelry or Artifact Mutation or maybe a second Grudge)
    1 Surgical Extraction
    1 Grafdigger's Cage


    I'd really like to get a third Submerge in there somewhere, but I don't know what to cut. Either of the creatures or the second artifact removal are probably the ones closest to the cut, but Sulfur Elemental is such a blowout in the DnT match-up, TNN feels really good vs. other fair decks. I don't know what to cut.

    Help please.

    You want to beat Miracle & BUG?

    Miracle is very hard MU. If you want to beat them, use Pithing Needle to stop their Sensei's Divining Top, use Sulfuric Vortex to kill them and save your Stifle, your Pierce and your FoW to protect it at any cost. TNN is not the best threat to beat them because they have lot of means to deal with (Engineered Explosives, REB, Terminus, Supreme Verdict...).

    It will be a lot of BUG Delver, that's why you can't go out with less than 3 Submerge. Their Deathrite musn't untap.

    I don't go to BoM 9 but if i went, I would take these 75:

    54 RUG, 2 Snare (to stop Counterbalance, Tarmo, Stoneforge, Tourach, etc...), 2 Pierce, 1 Dismember and 1 Forked Bolt.

    3 Submerge
    2 Pyroblast
    2 Flusterstorm
    2 Sulfuric Vortex
    1 Ancient Grudge
    2 Pithing Needle
    1 Grafdigger's Cage
    2 Rough // Tumble

    My 2 cents...

    I was told to post the primer in a new thread, so here it is:

    Tell me what you guys think! It's not quite complete yet, but it's a start!

    That's a great start if you ask me.

    I'm not sure what your plans are for the sideboarding information, but this post should be helpful I would think. wcm made an all inclusive guide to sideboarding for RUG.

    It helped catch me up with what is what for the RUG sideboard even though it is a little dated now.

    Thanks for putting the time in to update the primer.

    Thanks, I'll definitely use some of that.

    I guess the primer could do with a proof-reading as well, if someone else, like me, has too much time on their hands :)

    That wcm8š post is brilliant, it's one of my favourite Thresh reading.
    Glad to see the new primer. I'll take a closer look on evening!

    Re: [Deck] Canadian Thresh (a.k.a. RUG Tempo, Tempo Thresh)

    The new primer is well written and flashbacks all my experiences with the deck since i sleeved it the first time i tokio before innistrad.
    Thank you alot.
    While Innistrad was a great set and era for RUG in general,Return of Ravnica and the new comanderset almost dismemered the whole deck in pieces - the specific cards are mentioned in the primer as well.

    Because of this i started to push the burn-path with pop in the sideboard to actually "race" tnn decks which is comically easy.
    I also changed my playstyle a bit:
    Before return to ravnica when RUG was the best deck in the entire format by far i played very controlish with fewer threads - usually 10-11:
    4 Delver
    4 Nimble Mongoose
    2 Tarmogoyf

    Now i play the same archetype like a gruul-aggrodeck.

    Thanks for the feedback! I actually think the primer is a lot worse than my Swedish originals, but those were written more from a personal perspective, and I don't think that would go down well here. Instead, I aimed to make the article somewhat subjective.

    I have begun work on the sideboard and match-up analyses, but I could surely use some help with the latter. I'll see if I can get those up by tomorrow.

    I have updated the primer with a first step towards a sideboard guide. I'll continue working on it and update it as I go along, but feel free to comment on the formatting etc. of how I've chosen to write it.

    Link to the post: http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...017#post800017


    I also recommend that we move further discussions to the new thread, as this thread will get closed shortly, if I understood Nihil Credo correctly.
