What do we do about Containment Priest? What does the current sideboard look like?
Draw, play Island, GG?
Arthur: What manner of man are you that can summon up fire without flint or tinder?
Tim: I... am an enchanter.
Arthur: By what name are you known?
Tim: There are some who call me... 'Tim'...?
Arthur: ...greetings, Tim the Enchanter.
Bounce it, slaughter it and it's friends with Massacre, discard it, just win before it comes down, hope your opponent is dumb and taps out for something else the turn you combo off.
Just the standard work arounds.

My experience has been that this deck has been an absolute beast against DnT. The karakas is irrelevant. I'm faster than their vial or thalia. Mother of runes does not protect against Massacre. Post-board I clear all the creature early or late and set my own pace because they don't use countermagic. I can take out probes post-board as well as the maindeck silence to bring in any combination of bounce, serenity and massacre. Serenity has been good but even letting someone resolve and feel safe with surgical is nuts when casting pull from eternity.
DnT is why I won't play sneak and show right now and this deck is too fast and TOO MUCH FUN to stop.
Too many people misplay around it.
My problem has been that I do not mull aggresively enough.
I have, however gone top 8 in 2 recent GPTs and intend on packing this for Jersey.

I've just been thinking about treating it like any other card from death and taxes but have also considered running a 1-of Slaughter Pact in the board.
::: CURRENTLY PLAYING :::Tin-Fins (Legacy)Goryo's Vengeance (Modern)
I am actually curious if anyone is still playing Surgical Extraction in their sideboards and if so, for what matchup? I think i have only sided it in against regular reanimator and found that it only seemed to slow me down.
Anyone else have insights on it's uses and value?

Hi guys!
I am following this thread since months and I play Tin Fins for quite a while now. If you are ok to excuse my non-native english grammar, I'd like to share with you some though I had:
Right now, it seems that Containment Priest is been played lot. Moreover, five of six white decks in the Top16 of the GP NJ played two Containment Priest in their sideboard. What is very interessting about this fact is that all thoses players chose to take Rest In Peace out for Containment Priest (hereafter: CP). And i bet this will be a more general tendence in the Legacy field for some time. And it seems to me that for us, CP is easier to deal with than RiP due to Massacre (which btw could maybe be packed x3 for this reason?). So CP could have been one of the best thing that could have happend to Tin Fins, excepted the fact that TC has pulled Shardless BUG out of the DTB, making Deathrite Shaman much less common (but still played, ofc: DRS is still one of the most broken card mtg has ever seen!).
So thank to TC and now CP, we have less DRS and less RiP ...guys, what the hell are we waiting for to take Tin Fins where it belongs: to the Top(8)?
Now some questions i have:
1) I see more list playing two Children of Korlis MainDeck. Why could that be? Is that really needed?
2) Also, a lot of people are palying 2 Chrome Mox MD (plus 4 Petal Lotus, obv.). Again, is that needed and why? And what would you take out for doing +1 Children, +1 Chrome Mox?
3) Finaly, I know Pull from Eternity has allready been discussed here and was considered as too slow or useless, but it is played again in some lists. Why is that card bad exactly?
4) Thanks in advance!
Most of he lists that run 2 Children and 2 Chrome Mox are just being lazy and copying old lists that made T8. Dont pay attention to these lists. You dont need more than 1 Children, and on rare occasion are 2 Chrome Mox justified.
Simarly, Pull from Eternity is cute but not the best tool in light of RIP pr Leyline of the Void which it cannot answer. In most cases Chain of Vapor and Massacre deal with all the pieces of hate you are most worried about.

Hey guys! I just wanted to come in here ans see if any of you played (and beat) an Imperial Painter player in round 5 in NJ.
I was so blown away by Nic-Fit with a Doomsday package that I forgot to tell you how much I enjoyed they deck. I would assume you are on here since you had a "The Source" playmat.
Probably .dk.
Dk, can we see the list you ran, please?
