I don't think he's talking about the mirror, rather decks like rug or jund that may side a few.
To answer, you may catch bad painter players with it who always name blue.

They got lucky you walked right into them. But then again, I don't know the context around the game states so who am I to judge :laugh:
Does anyone know if the previous two SCG finalists with Painter wrote up their experiences?

Thats all I have found so far. There is this and the title makes me laugh.

As long as Suarez and Bressler are the only 2, that has proven the decks worth in a long time, I personally think it'll slip under the radar again for a while. Which only works to our advantage.Quote:

Wouldn't that be a helluva format?
I just don't see it happening. For the price of 4 Imp's you can have 4 FOW. This deck is for the dedicated or those with more disposable income than most. I agree that this will never be at the top of the boards.
That said, with the Judge foils, I can see this being picked up by more people, the overall price of the deck after the Imp's is not that high. The SOL lands are cards that can be used in other decks. All in all I think we will see the numbers rise. That said, FOW will always be more popular and it costs the same as our main card.
They have no choice but to FOW a moon. And sometimes you have to play into it game 1. I will go for a turn 1 or 2 moon effect game 1 vs shardless every time.Quote:

There is still a limited supply of imperial recruiters. They are "affordable" right now because of the somewhat low demand. If everyone wanted to start playing the deck the price would sky rocket.Quote:

I have played stompy. Had a build with 8 moons, 4 Void and 3 Sphere. My meta calls it my "Fuck you legacy" deck. I personally call it boring as hell. It has much better matches against non blue decks but it feels so plain to play. You lock, you attack, you don't really do much else. I think the control aspect of Painter is what drew me in. That and I looked at this thread one day and saw someone mention the price of Judge Foils was within my price range.
I can see stompy having a rise, but I think if moon really does start being played in mass, this will be the deck that places higher and more often.

Played at the local again today and lost the first two rounds to Mono G Emrakul Elves (yuck) and then Jund with basic lands. Did not feel good.
Ouch. That sucks.Quote:

Not sure if that's still common, but its still only 2 or 3 basics that they have to hit to dodge moon. So moon should usually hurt them pretty bad.
Mono G with Emrakul just hurts!!!!!!! Sorry bout that.
Also,
I tested a lot against Shardless BUG today. Gotta say I was completely wrong!! That match is everything you guys said it was. Very favorable matchup for us. I think I may have been confusing BUG and RUG in my head when thinking of getting my moons countered.
At work right now so I can only jump online by mobile. Can anyone let me know if someone is playing the deck at SCG this weekend? Let's see if we can get 3 for 3.

I'm gonna try
3 x E Tutor
4 x Lotus Petal (18 lands)
Everything else will still be pretty standard
The 4 petal have been awesome in Goldfishing. Gives me alot of explosive "stompy" plays along with mana fixing under a moon. I cut down to 1 magus to allow this, but I can tutor blood moon now so I hope it's a toss up.
Also the sideboard cards it gives access to are really luring me to try. RIP and Cannonist. Also opens up board slots from having to run a full 4 Bridges.
Hey dudes,
I'v been continuing to play a fair bit of IP online, where that deck has been exploding in popularity. Yesterday in the daily I faced the mirror twice, and the cards have been spiking in value.
I recently cut one of my two Chrome Mox for a Lotus Petal, and one of my 2 main deck Revokers for a 19th land. Lotus Petal has been good so far with Welder, and hit or miss as a mana accelerate, I think it gets better the more land you run. At 18 land I think I would rather run two Chrome Mox, at 19-20 I like Lotus Petal.
The main reason for my post, is I wanted to hear some of your opinions about the inclusion of Chandra in the main deck, in the style of Mr. Bresler. Most of the people who have just picked up the deck (flavor of the month) seem to be running that exact same list with 2 Chandras. I myself am attracted to the zero ability and am somewhat ambivalent to the others.
I also wanted to say something about sideboard cards, I see a lot of Ratchets Bombs going around, but I'm not really feeling them. I also don't see many people running sideboard Pyroclasums which have been consistently insane for m
I used to run Pyroclasm, nothing but love for the card, but Ratchet Bombs cover corner cases that Clasm just doesn't.
Ish. I found that in the matches without Moon, White helped me beyond anything else I could have possibly done. But when I needed Moon, White became dead. So the choice is do you need the deck to be good against targets you can not hate out with moon or targets you can. Because I would really main deck NOTHING white and just side in what you need. The reason being that you're going to cut off that part of your deck the moment you Moon. So if you board out Moon then you have uses for white, if you're running moon the two competing sides of the deck conflict too much to make a smooth cohesive deck.
Also guys, the DTB change up is due any day now. I will not hold my breath but hey, anything is possible.
