Agreed, it triggers off of fetch, which is already an issue because it becomes conditional (although no one expects it). RR is really too much of a stretch. If Volcanic Offering functioned the way we wished, then this could have been VO #5-6, but by itself its not good enough I think.
And don't play it in response to them cracking the fetch, though. Fail to Find is a thing.
How does this deck do against pox? What to board in?
Pox is one of the worst matchups for this deck. Because the curve is so high, and we play a small number of actual creatures, pox is the perfect card against this deck. If they run liliana, phyrexian revokers are decent. Might want to bring them in just to have some trash to sac. Against loam-pox, graveyard hate is an option, but likely not that effective of one. Crucible of worlds is probably the best card to have against pox, but in general I don't think it is good enough to run. Red versions also stand a better chance against pox decks since they can abuse the discard effect with welder/daretti. Myr battlesphere is a good kuldotha target here.Quote:

Joseph santomassino is 9-0 and on SCGLive right now, starting off day two of GPNJ.
Joseph won 2-1.Quote:

I like what the commentators said: Opponent has to counter everything.
I was thoroughly confused by some of his sequencing, especially the way he seems to randomly float arbitrary amounts of mana while casting spells, sometimes even having some of it empty out of his mana pool at the end of a phase (he tapped 7 for a Wurmcoil at some point, for instance). Is there some strategic element to that or is it just some next level stream trolling?
Is Sanotmassino on this forum? Or does he write for anyone?
Joseph is being featured again againstJeskaiAmerican Delve(r). He's 12-1 right now. I'm having video problems though, so someone else will have to report the outcome.
Edit: I got the video back in time to see him lose in game 3.
he lost:(
loss in 3 games to u/w/r, he mullied each game and brian had all the answers to all the questions
I found his decklist:Quote:

It's unfortunate that he faced U/W/r Stoneblade in the Quarters. I find that matchup to be one of the hardest since they have so much answers to what the deck does when it doesn't have Chalice for 1. Even then, it has Wear/Tear postboard and can just go aggro with Stoneforge Mystic and suited up TNN.
Anyways, good job to Santomassino for going to Top8 in a 4000 man tournament with the deck that has variance as its greatest weakness
Mud was EVERYWHERE at the GP. I've never seen it at such numbers.
With as low as curves have gotten to enable Treasure Cruise, Chalice of the Void and Trinisphere are excellent in the format right now. Also, with Wasteland seeing less play, the shakiness of our manabases has dwindled in some sense.Quote:

I agree. I fee 2 titan is perfect, his extra titans were probably upped because of how much U/R delver or just delver in general was going to show up this weekend at GPNJ.Quote:
