I really like the list above with the smokestack and such. Seems sweet.

The last few days on modo ive been playing 2 stacks main and 1 in the board - and in the last daily i faced the amazing:
Mono red sneak attack, with maindeck moons
Omnitell
Painter
(0-3 drop like a boss)
Well, i played lands today IRl, tweaking to beat miracles and storm (no burn in sight locally)
The list :
Like the previous maindeck, except:
+1 Karakas (there is a bit more reanimator now)
+1 Savannah
-1 tranquil thicket
-1 chalice of the void
Enabling the follow very different board:
3 Abrupt decay
4 dark confidant
4 sphere of resistance
2 Thalia, guardian of theben
1 Ethersworn canonist
1 Sylvan library
I 5-0ed the event:
Round 1: NicFit without Burning Wish - I just make reltive quick 20/20s in two games, and he has 0 outs. 2-0
Roundt 2: ANT: I lose game one, obivously. He cant handle the hate 2-1
Round 3: ANT: I lose game one, obivously. He cant handle the hate 2-1
Round 4: EsperBlade: Smokestacks are indestructable planeswalkers that kill basic lands. Game two i added spheres. 2-0
Round 5: ANT: I lose game one, obivously. He cant handle the hate 2-1
Felt freaking awesome. Not so much the 5-0 but the 3-0 vs AnT was great fun ;)

Semi related, just posted scans of my pimped deck in the bragthread.

One mana short from playing Hurkyl's Recall !
Your deck is beautiful Phelix. (I have the same in non foil ^^)
Beautiful deck. Now you just need a pimp playmat to play on!
Hello all. I've posted a tournament report. I piloted RG Lands, not RUG Lands, but I thought some of you might still be interested. Enjoy.

oof. two weeks of silence. did everyone else here die or something?
No, I think everyone talking about lands is on Salvation.
It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.
I hope your afterlife is filled with eternal torment.
Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
What about renaming that thread "Temur splash-B splash-W Lands" or "Cromat Lands" ?
Also, This build is no good in the current meta.

Which build, specifically?
If I had to hazard a guess, I would think he is talking about the RUG control version not being as string as the R/G combo one.

im not comparing the two, but im saying that control lands seems to be a very poor metagame choice right now. Or specifically, i do not currently have a version thats good in this meta.

Cought between miracles and ur metas, the hands can be vastly different. Pfire is very good vs ur but poor vs miracles and smokestack builds wreck miracles but are too slow for ur. Trying to find a balance myself. You guys should be packing at least a set of chalice and add in at least two other taxing lock pieces to the sb if you plan on taking this to any event from now on. The only legacy barrier cards to ur are forces and duals and little play experience is needed to pilot these lists effectively.
about half my local meta has switched to the flavor of the month, UR delver, but there's still a trio of REALLY good miracles players locally. I've been having success pre-boarding chalices and a zuran orb, and just having 3 smokestacks, 4 sphere of resistance + a null rod in the board to just crush miracles g2/g3. Seems to have worked out so far. I admit it's sometimes awkward wanting to chalice for 1 but not having manabond/exploration in play.
I'm still confident in the build for today's meta. After doing another trial, gy hate was weak and the delver mu were easy pickings. I md a chalice and it has paid off. I may cut a taxing sb slot for another grip since my loss to multiple rip really stung and Miracles needs to be addressed more than elves. Pfire just controls the game, but I was able to lock bug delver out after getting mine extracted thanks to a slew of mazes and an active loam.
It sucks to draw one drops after chalicing, but you need to know that it has been powerful enough to do so for a while now. I usually side out rotations to help my top decks since I aggressively set it at one.
Has your current list changed much since you last posted it?
Hasn't changed much. The scg t8 list this past weekend was pretty similar so that should be motivating to stay on rug.
That was Sparki, restoring faith in the RUG build. His tournament report is in the MTGS thread.
What you said earlier about the hands being vastly different vs Miracles and U/R is true. I've been devoting three slots to SDT and Sylvan Library to smooth these things out. So far they've been excellent in the rounds I've played but I don't have any large tournament data yet.
well done sparkii
if Bug was huge, id be playing titania in the board. the is like an awesome planeswalker there. and just silly when paired w. smokestack. and unlike worm harvest, actually kills creatures and is not GY dependant.
