Enjoy the holidays, and hopefully until next year for the 2016 BLC Series and/or BoM/GP/....
Take care,
Tom
PS: Your English is just fine!
Hmmm, I haven't seen this card before, but I personally think it has some potential. I am trying out a mox opal version of the deck so have already increased my artifact count quite a bit. I might play around with this card a little.Quote:

Anyways. Glad to see you made it to the final 8 players afterwards!
Ok, so I am pretty excited about this stupid card from Origins:
http://mythicspoiler.com/ori/cards/g...aethergrid.jpg
Thanks to Black_Diamond for the suggestion.
Here is the list I have been playing on MTGO:
// Lands
2 [ZEN] Mountain
4 [ZEN] Arid Mesa
4 [MR] Great Furnace
3 [EX] City of Traitors
2 [B] Plateau
4 [TE] Ancient Tomb
// Creatures
4 [SHM] Painter's Servant
3 [P3] Imperial Recruiter
1 [ALA] Ethersworn Canonist
1 [TSP] Jaya Ballard, Task Mage
2 [UL] Goblin Welder
1 [NPH] Spellskite
1 [MBS] Phyrexian Revoker
// Spells
4 [TE] Grindstone
4 [IA] Pyroblast
4 [CH] Blood Moon
2 [SH] Ensnaring Bridge
2 [ARE] Enlightened Tutor
2 [B] Red Elemental Blast
3 [TE] Lotus Petal
3 [CHK] Sensei's Divining Top
1 [ORI] Ghirapur AEther Grid
3 [SOM] Mox Opal
It's obviously an artifact heavy list. I wanted to try a list with Mox Opals after seeing the Grixis list do well at the last SCG Open. BTW, I tried a similar grixis list online for a while and HATED it. It can have some explosive draws and fun tricks with welder. But it seems like a huge glass cannon and if your opponent can deal with your welders it just crumbles. Most of the games I won were after bringing in Blood Moons from the board.
Anyway, I did like the addition of the Opals, as it just seemed to strengthen the mana and definitely made me less apt to lose to mana screw or one or two wastelands. Then the grid came along and that has shored up several match-ups extremely well. In 10-12 matches, I've probably burned out 4-5 deathrites, a few stoneforges, and just WRECKED elves and Death & Taxes. Also destroyed infect with the card the one time I played it. I actually had opponents setting their pithing needles to the grid instead of grindstone! I was playing 2 magma jet in the main (still like the card a lot) and took them out for one grid and one revoker main. Still not sure about the revoker main, but I wanted it to be an artifact to keep the count high. It could be an e.explosives or 3rd bridge as well. Just wish grid was an actual artifact!
Going back and forth with some SB options right now. But with 6 mana sources that can produce ANY color, I am finally able to try out a Keranos against Miracles and other control/combo MUs.
Anyway, just wanted to throw the idea out there. Let me know what you guys think.
Nice brewing drude, this is one of the more interesting developments in the last year or two really.
Will have to give it a shot.

Sounds intresting.
I side eyed Ghirapur Aether Grid earlier this year when it was released, but at the time we werne't running enough artifacts for it to be consistant.
Mox Opal is also intresting. I tried to play 2 Mox Diamonds earlier this year... but that didn't work out so well because even at 21 lands it was too few. I think having a souce of multicolored mana that you can reuse seems like a really good idea too.
Rando Thought: If you are going to play the Grid might you not want either Hangarback Walker or the Parents as a one of tutor target? Is that win more?
Hangarback walker is one of those cards that strikes me as pretty good in general, but maybe just not good enough for legacy... but maybe it is?
Edit: Or if you want something that's is a little less good but works better with Goblin Welder... myr sire.
are you not scared of null rod with all those great furnaces?
Thought on Hangarback Walker, I've also been thinking a lot about it. The main reason I always look away is because of Plows, Terminus or even Stifle shut its effect for a cheap price, and we'll have to spend a lot of mana or turns just to give them a tempo-swing deluxe. Miracles is the one match we want extra finisher the most, after all. If it just were weldable!
Anyways, Opals and Grid.. maybe it's just crazy enough to work.
Opals and Grid don't go away from Terminus, and they only really have Councils Judgement on the main and Wear/Tear out of the side to take em out. I like the idea. And if they waste Wear/Tear on Grid, then that's less Wear/Tears to stop the combo!Quote:

Yeah, null rod is always an issue. Interestingly, it doesn't shut off the grid and you can still tap the artifacts to use the grid. It does obviously shut off the furnaces, but this deck was never getting very far with an active null rod anyway. You still have to deal with it either way.Quote:

And just to be clear, it's not like I'm giving up on the painter/grindstone combo for the win; but the grid has proven very useful in removing pesky creatures or as an alt win con paired with some 2 power dorks for the swing. I've also been trying one copy of LED recently and it's hit or miss. Some games it is amazing and some games it's my only source of colored mana and I'm looking at it wishing it was a mox or petal.
The biggest surprise I've noticed with the grid so far is how scary my opponent thinks it is. I had the thing double FoW'd by a miracles player yesterday. Very strange.

can you try streaming and saving broadcasts? So we can see the deck in action? Thoughts on Absolute Law in SB?Quote:

Ok, I thought welding it out, which works just fine.
Top 8'ed a 60 man today with Imperial Painter (R/w).
