Bingo! Does it improve the Miracles/TES/ANT MU? And in which MUs do we lose ground to do so?Quote:

We get by on basics easily (you could just port my manabase to Jund colors) and PoP (or double PoP) can give a finishing blow out of nowhere (and off a horrible board state, obviously).
With tricks like fetch into Arbor -> Diabolic Intent to PoP it'd seem funny as hell.
Noooo i just ordered a JPN signed set....Quote:

The point of jundfit is hard board control.
Meh, just get by on a smaller removal suite. 4 AD, 3 Deed. Less removal, more threats. Punishing Fire kills nothing that AD/Deed can't (for the most part).
Or at least run some crazy shit like Destructive Flow or Misfortune. Or Adun Oakenshield/Xira Arien (which are both on-colour CA engines, funnily enough) for all I care. Be creative! And nuts!
Nuts, check.Quote:

Misfortune is kind of bad considerin we got better sweepers/removal/pfire. Cool artwork tho.
Xira is outclassed by PTruths and is slower. Tried her for fun once, but is now my commander for my Jund landfall.dec nice to have Life from the Loam with her and Borborygmos Enraged or Omnath, Locus of Rage.
Adun is outclassed by Meren, Stronghold and E.Witness.
Not trying to be an ass here, but stuff is tried and probably nothing gamebreaking is yet to be discovered. I have my hopes on Matt tho.
Don't mind me, I'm just rambling. Nothing in that post was really to be taken seriously, lol.Quote:

playing against the eldrazi deck, if they have anything resembling a reasonable draw and ours isn't above average, we just lose.
t1 tomb cotv, t2 temple thought not, t3 cot reality smasher.
Pretty sure we are in the same position as against every other Chalice deck - if they have t1 Chalice@1 we lose, and otherwise we are just fine. It's not like Eldrazi have any more odds of dropping Chalice t1 than any other Stompy deck.
So it is basicly a matter of who wins the dice roll #Cabal Therapy.Quote:

If we win the die roll we're probably okay / can at least get a Top / Vet down before we get locked. Zenith and Decay are good against Chalice too, and Deed ruins their deck.
On the draw game 1 we are probably screwed if they have turn 1 Chalice. If they don't I don't think we're that badly off though- even t2 chalice isn't so horrible since it slows them down quite a bit.
On the play game 2/3 we're alright. Therapy / Seize / Decay all help.
On the draw game 2/3 is pretty much same as game 1 I guess.
Yes, very unfortunate. and that's one of their simple draws.Quote:

We don't just lose to cotv, it can slow us down or make a lot of what we are trying to do, not do.
I didn't say they were the same as any other stompy deck. I said that they are no more likely to have turn 1 Chalice@1. Their followup to the Chalice is probably better, yeah.
Chalice@1 does little other than annoy us. We can still run Therapy into it to open up a sac outlet, and we can still Zenith for 1, which tends to be better than most Chalice decks.
Agreed, its just that the hitters in other stompy decks are slower out of the gate and don't close the game so fast.Quote:

Somewhere i am kind off afraid to how the impact will be on the entire meta with this Eldrazi Stompy. If both Bolt and Decay can't take down most of the threats it will become really oppressive.Quote:

decay is good against cotv, endless one and mimic but tks and smasher are a problem.Quote:
