Since adding the red ive also have really liked the addition of fiend hunter and it seems pretty decent right now.
Had a small tournament today
2-0 W vs Manaless Dredge
1-1 D v Legend Miracles (Mangara <3)
0-2 L v Soldier Stompy
2-1 W v Punishing Jund.
2-1-1, good/bad for 5th overall.
Mangara blew up so many lands today, feelsgoodman
Are we writing reports for standard lists of D&T in 4 round tournaments now? :tongue:Quote:

R1: ANT 2-1
R2: Infect 2-1
R3: Grixis Control 2-1
R4: Imperial Painter 2-1
I went 4-0 and managed to beat double Dread of Night on board vs. ANT because I had my 1 of Mindbreak Trap and he had boarded out all of his discard, I then killed him with Serra Avenger. VALUE TRAP!
Haha, I appreciate how silly it is, but it's thanks to you guys that I'm working my way round this deck. Most of the matches were pretty boring honestly, but the Miracles match was fantastic to play, and following yours and others advice I "ground" out Game 1. Game 2 I mulled down to a terrible 4 card hand and sometimes there's not that much you can do but I was thrilled with the way Game 1 went, even though I made some pretty laughably bad mistakes in hindsight.Quote:

Grinding down miracles always feels good. It's a match up that takes a lot of skill to play, but once you figured the match up out, you just crush them every time.Quote:

He turn 3 show and tells, I put in Ethersworn Canonist with Vial and then put in Imperial Recruiter off Show and Tell and get Leonin Relic-Warder. I untap and Relic-Warder his Omniscience + Equip Sword of fire and Ice to my Ethersworn Canonist, He casts Pyroclasm and passes I draw 2 more Ethersworn Canonists and cast 1 which gets FoW'd then I vial the other one and he untaps, casts Emrakul, attack, I sacrifice 5 lands and Ęther Vial and then he concedes.
The whole deck just worked there. Imperial Recruiter for Relic-Warder was awesome.
Yeah I definitely think relic-warder could be the nuts right now.Quote:

They leave out the clunky Dream Halls and Enter the Infinite and run 4x Dig Through Time instead.Quote:

Only the Sneak and show match up gets slightly worse. And no one is on Sneak anymore, everyone is playing omnitell where revokers and karakas are useless. And you're wrong to say the red cards are not good against Miracles and stoneblade. Imperial Recruiter is nuts against miracles and Magus of the Moon is fine to fantastic in both match ups. I have had miracles lose to Magus of the Moon more than once.Quote:

She's also protected by Karakas, is a human for Cavern, survives Golgari Charm and the like, and fits well on the Vial curve.
Just a thought.
I wish there was a world where we could play hollowed spirit keeper, that card seems sweet, but doesnt really do enough
Double red plus red activation costs are an absolute no-go.Quote:

Obviously this won't always be the case; sometimes you won't be able to use her. However I think she gives us a lot of neat options at the cost of one slot in the deck--not enough to do any real damage to the usual business but still tutorable if we want.Quote:

Can't really argue against that. Like I said, it's probably too cute, but I still want to test it out.
