Yes, you are correct, i probably could have elaborated more, but thanks for covering that.

ROUND 13 OF SEASON 14: WUBRG is now open. I have PM'ed myself my deck for round 13, and for fun I made a salted hash at...

What is the consensus optimal number of 6 mana cascades?

Here are a few budget-friendly modifications to your deck that may help improve its performance: Cut down on the number of Islands: 20 is a good...

I guess the TO hasn't been able to come up with a deck yet. Silk has to send his own deck before the rest can start sending.

If results and bannings are in, why not open the round earlier to give players more submission time?

Venerated Rotpriest will trigger multiple times if Bounty of the Hunt (or Seeds of Strength, etc.) targets multiple creatures, but not if it only...

Well, okay, bonus to Inevitable Betrayal: It could serve double-duty in the same role against Oops All Spells.

Are Restore Balance or Inevitable Betrayal too out there? With Betrayal especially you can get an Archon to kill their guy and maybe enough of a...

Right, I missed the other Eldrazi deck doing so well. I hadn't expected the difference between the support spells to be this large. So we go 15...

Oblivion Ring or equivalents to remove the threat? Gilded Drake to steal the threat? Ensnaring Bridge seems bad for both of you. Light of Day...

Okay, continuing to play with the 3 Throes, 2 Trickery, 1 Targeted-Hatepiece modular-SB-package-idea, what would the 1 custom card to be able to...

After a few intricacies were worked out (the aggressive version of Noxious Revival is always cool), we have our bans: Castigate Eldrazi Temple...

I'm just glad that TKS is banned and I was making a joke by referring to when TKS was completely dominant in modern. I think there was a gp that saw...

I may be too drunk to follow this cryptic message. :cool: Season's done? Need we congratulize a certain someone?

We're all free! Eldrazi winter is over! ( I say as the Atlantic northeast faces its coldest day all season.) Sad face? 29 points is more than 4...

A one-of phyrexian unlife could be great vs non BWish storm, as the galaxy burning takes care of pesky gobs, and I don't think they would bring in...

How many rounds are we playing this season? The full 15 from the doc?

Roughly speaking, the impact of changing a card is going to be something like /. So adding one apex devastator to 4 creative techniques and 4...

3 Throes + 2 Trickery has a much lower chance of those Trickery -> Trickery fizzles, some chance of Throes fizzles (no Trickery left), and yet still...

Yep. Good line.

In fact, it may end up being correct to do something like 3 Throes 2 Trickery

Warning: Extensive but still Rough Approximations ("Fermi Calculations") Ahead I've been playing around with this idea and I do like it a lot,...

It was a good suggestion. That's why I ran some numbers to check. Unfortunately the deck is a very tightly-tuned engine and has little flexibility...

I did not expect trickery to be poisonous to the combo that way. I guess I'm too used to thinking in terms of decks with half as many lands and took...

Agree, 2-2

Good point. Then your options with Trickery are: A) Cascade creature (8-16 hits) B) Creative Technique (4 hits) C) Tibalt's Trickery (3 hits)...
