It's even better in that version. You can do things like T1 Explorer. T2 Diabolic Intent -> get Forest + Swamp and hold priority -> Grisly...

Do you ever get into trouble where they remove Shigeki and it disrupts you from being able to go off later? With Turtle you can recover from...

I've been thinking more about the lack of turn 1 plays, lack of disruption, lack of tutors, and importance of black for Grisly Salvage. In...

Yeah, it could be just missing the Grisly Salvages. Putting Early Harvest + 1 channeler in graveyard and the other channeler in hand would help...

Well in that game the issue was I didn't have Shigeki, and the other tools were not efficient at digging for it (some variance because all copies...

The speed problem was not lack of lands, but lack of resources. I could get 6 basics on turn 4 or 7 on turn 5, but then didn't have enough combo...

If you go off at sorcery speed, you could play actual Regrowth in colors for 1 less mana than Turtle. Turtle's better for not being bad outside the...

True. I guess that is a reason in favor of running the full set of Harvests and Dictates, because the 2nd copy is useful. If you're going for lines...

Yeah, that's the obvious boost. But then you're just High Tide. Once you're on that mana engine, there's no reason to keep green. The remaining...

Nice result. 9-1! Sounds like it fits the current meta well. When Standstill goes back in, is DRC really the cut? As long as Initiative and Saga...
