Yeah game 2-3 is recorded.
G1 I had like petal 2 tutors 4 lands and mull. Into t1 brainstorm find tutor win. If not duress. Did duress the chalice. Was 3 turns me cantriping he playing dudes. Then he drew a thorn and I lost. G2 I just hurkil his chalice and win. G3 he had t1 thorn. T2 6 power on board. T3 I decay thorn ritual ritual nauseam. With 11 live. No landrop available and 1 petal used. Top 3 cards 2 4 mana spells. Gg.

-1 top
-1 preordain
-3 therapy
+1 echoing
+ 1 hurkil
+1 empty
+2 decay
That I did on the play
But should have made this:
-1 top
-1 preordain
-3 therapy
-1 pif
+1 echoing
+ 1 hurkil
+1 empty
+3 decay

On draw You can do like 1 duress out another decay in. But I think is not really worth.

Thanks! I watched your game 3 against BUG and loved how you fanned out your graveyard after flashing back pif. Nice touch! That Eldrazi player looked as if he had never played against storm.

So assuming my SB plan can be anything, how is everybody beating miracles?

From my limited experience in the match up I feel like its 45-55 in there favor, but the match up is very play draw dependent. Being able to strip a top before they can play it seems to make all the difference in the matchup, as the CA from being on the draw is largely irrelevant, however it seems like I cant lose games where they cant get a t2 top lock going. Im also running 4 duress 4 therapy MB due to local meta infestation.

@esper

boarding into grinding station works for me

cheers

Congratz man! I've seen your matches live on twitch...that Ad Nauseam turn 2 during round 5 against BUG was awesome...great job man! :)

Some questions... why no Dark Petition? A lot of decklist plays 2 copies of DP...still don't know if it's better or not that normal version with 2x PiF.

Rain of Filth...is it necessary? I mean most of the time it's the 4th Dark Ritual.

I liked no Chain of Vapor in sb...with all these Chalice of The Void at 1 in Eldrazi I think that it's better having Echoing Truth and Hurkyll's Recall to answer those problems. What do u guys think?

I ran 2 Ingot Chewer on the weekend as a hedge against Eldrazi. Brought them in against MUD; they were useful in one game but any one-mana artifact bounce/destruction effect would have done just as well.

Trying a new 75 to have a better shot at an Eldrazi meta. Of course I didn't get to face Eldrazi once but got to 5-0 a league for the first time!

I run both the Rain of Filth and the two Dark Petition, and I'm actually running a Rebuild as my mass artifact removal. I think it's better than Hurkyl's Recall because of the ability to bounce your own artifacts for free storm as well as cycle if it isn't a relevant draw.

sweet! I had my first encounter today, 2-0 (I ended up on 1 life both games) then 1-1 postboard test games, probably a lucky day I also had some of the most ridiculous wins in a long time

No thoughts on Ingot Chewer? Am I just nuts? Stomps Chalice and Thorn at no additional cost.

Here is the video of the last league I played:

Ended 4-1 only loosing to our great Nevilshute! The match was another day but I have covered it at the end of the stream.

So enjoy!

More incredible tech: give 1 Personal Tutor a try with 1 PIF, 1 Tendrils, 1 Empty. Does pretty cool tricks with PIF and Git Probe.

new weird tech estabilished :D I also gave it a shot last week in the LGS but sadly we have 0-1 Miracles here atm.. yesterday a Hightide player had 2+ in the SB, beating the lonely Miracles guy to death with 2 of them:really:

Sadly, Miracles seems to be switching from the 4x Ponder no legends, to a more legends oriented build with multiple cliques which is annoying

btw. yesterday's crazy R3G1 against Dredge

G1, - win the roll, mull 5 - 2xLED, 2x LP, Thoughtseize, scry - DR = keep, mull myself 4 by LP+Thoughtseize, play out 1LED ... he does his stuff, I draw DR, pass... he CT me and misses... next turn he has lethal by Flayer of the Hatebound, I topdeck an IT (so the situation is IT, DR, LP, LED; another LED is in play), I have no AdN but 2ToA, 2PiF, EtW in the deck... I found an improbable line to play to and got rewarded, how did I win?:really:

I'm a unsure what that means as Legends players are non-existant in my meta, I've played it only ~3 times and dropped Pyroblasts by now, but generaly early discard and G1 should be better, CB worse and Needle should be awesome, G2 everyone has Clique but the Eurolists usualy eschewed Karakas

What was the opponent's life total?

[EDIT: Did you win on this turn or a subsequent turn?]
