    Hey, if it works it works. Do you find it hard to be consistent with no Recruiters?

    I play 3 Enlightened Tutor to get more consistency but if feels like a stompy deck most of the times. first turn moon effect is half of the win. The filtering of nahiri helps to fix and acts as win condition. just as I described before, nahiri helps me to control the game in my favor.

    I went 3-1 in the legacy challenge at SCG ATL

    https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/cpainter/
    (Sorry posting from my phone)

    2-0 against cloud post
    -I had to explain the all is dust/painter interaction
    -5/5 Karn tokens closed the game fast

    2-0 against d&t
    -welder and copter put in a lot of work
    -painter vs sword of fire and ice always catches people

    2-0 against dragon Stompy
    -welder and canonist beat down game one
    -opening hand heretic took game 2 though chalices on 1& 2

    0-2 against sneak and show
    - have trouble here sine the top ban, always relied on Jaya and bridge in the past
    - I need to improve my side board here


    Overall deck feels good, especially against fair non-deathrite decks

    Do our blood moons become better now and put back in the main? How bad of a hit does storm take without probe?

    We just sit tight and wait to see what happens. Obviously blue will remain tier 1. When we know the top decks we just metagame against them and slot the tutorable hate into our painter/stone/vamptutor/demonic recruiter/blast shell

    We probably need to re-visit lavaman. The main reason for his including was to fight DRS.

    4x leyline of the Void in the SB seems like a good start...

    Definitely interested in shortcake again with this ban. I do think blood Moon goes up in value. Also agree 4 x leyline is probably a good idea. Wow, this is a big boost for this deck in my opinion.

    4 leyline of the void has been great for me. I’m back and forth between running a Rest In Peace in addition to the leylines but with the anticipated uptick in reanimator I’m probably going to keep it and possibly add a tormods crypt. Also want to get sudden shock back in somehow at least for my local meta as I see death and taxes making a big comeback.

    I'm not so sure of that. Manabases will become more stable now that Deathrite is gone. Before, against the four-color decks, Blood Moon was a slam-dunk. Against Canadian it might be good, but I just don't think its overall value gets better with the ban; I actually think it remains status quo.

    Re: [Deck] Strawberry Shortcake

    I think a main deck lavamancer is still good. It still answers a lot of fair decks, which may see an uptick an uptick in goblins, D&T, other delver variants. Plus, it can still crew a copter.

    I believe it's Kap'n Cook? and yes congrats! any chance of a report? 7-0 in the swiss is a helluva run.

    @Michael Keller On a related note, I think that the Blood Moon issue is an interesting one. On the one hand, manabases will need to adapt to the lack of Deathrite and the increased power (and likely presence) of Wasteland, but on the other hand, some of the four colour decks had resilient enough mana with Deathrite to run moons themselves.

    I do think that Shortcake gets a boost from this, particularly the new build with Canonist. Looking at the metagame at the moment combined with anecdotal evidence suggests that that might be the case, but I haven't had a chance to play legacy post-banning yet.

    Re: [Deck] Strawberry Shortcake

    interested in the idea that the deck could be better positioned post ban - what makes you think so?

    and also very excited for a report

    Grats Jack, awesome run! Looking forward to a report if you'll do it.

    I played a league with your 75 last night and loved it.

    2-0 Mono red storm
    2-0 Miracles
    0-2 Zombardment
    1-2 Dredge
    2-0 DnT

    I've not played Painter since dabbling with it years back when top was still around so was figuring out the mus as we went along. The losses felt like they should be pretty decent, Bridge is great in both and they struggle to interact with the combo but I never got much going.

    Re: [Deck] Strawberry Shortcake

    Well done Jack.
    I would be most interested in how the deck played for you. Any particular card you would put more emphasis on? Particularly bridge or blood moon? How were those two cards? Also, why the one extra welder in the board? When would you bring that in? When do you bring the karn in and is that not good enough for main? Very interested in how you think this deck stacks up against the meta now. I've been seeing a lot of RUG delver online lately which really makes me want to play more blood moon main.
