Is Countertop a problem for you? Most decks playing that engine are out of our curve, plus they already have problems with chalice@1 and trinisphere. S.Fields would be win more against alot of decks which aren't really a problem to begin with. Great sideboard card though.

I like to stuff 8 fetchlands and Senseis Top is what I mean by that. Its not that Counterbalance itself is a problem at all.
You cant call Suppression Field win more when it's only two mana. It fits the curve of the deck and saves you from a resolved Vial. I dont know if you noticed, but at Off the Wall Games recent tournament of 49 people there were 3 geddon stax decks played. None of them made top 8. There were 3 Survival Decks and they all made top eight.
Survival along with Landstill are the decks worst matchups. Suppression Field helps against both.

Really? 3sphere is part of the lock, and otherwise it's nice Staxfood ofcourse :)
The Mox is a nice draw; when you have crucible and stax out, and you sac a land to stax every turn, you can't play land from your hand, Mox gives this land still a use.
I guess my point is, the synergy in GeddonStax, WhiteStax, Angelstax, however you want to call it, might even be better than you thought :)
Good job on the tourny (except for rolling the dice, you suck at that), nice report :)
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
So is anyone running Supression Field?, I've been thinking of mainboarding it, or is it simply sb material? Althought mb you can only get it down first turn with mox and a land. Just curious On your thoughts. It also seems to me that most winning lists seems to run enlightined tutor, or maybe I eschewing the results, although bad synergy with chalice, I strictly thought it was bad, but i don't know exactly.

Oh? Any links?
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
Yeah, would love to see those lists, I don't know of any successful w stax decks running enlightened tutor. I run s field as a 4 of in my sb for a few matchups.
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
If I was going to play 1 drops it would be SDT, enlightened tutor doesn't seem worth it in a list that should be running basically all 4 ofs
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
OK... I have been out for months in magic and my decks have been gathering dust...There is finally a tournament here after a long time this coming august.
I see there hasn't been much change for geddon stax, except some sideboard options.
Is tormods crypt really needed in the sideboard? I can't seem to make up my mind since Im trying to fit in karmic justice and supression fileds in...

Well, there is debate wether or not GY hate belongs in your SB, because we have a ton of other options against decks that utilize their GY.
There's also a debate wether or not S.field should be mainboarded or not.
So basically, at least, you could say S.Field > Tormod's Crypt. :cool:
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax

I really thought their was more. I guess i was clicking on the sam edeclklists
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
Those 2 are the same deck, with a very different input than WhiteStax. Pendrell Mists, Lotus Petals, only 1 Smokestack. Looks to me the reason he became second that tourney was because he didn't run WhiteStax
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
Such a heavenly sight. Well, I got 1 English boostermint and I'm happy with it. Don't need 4 more, lol :)
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
Who needs Ravages? Cataclysm has been amazing for me so far. I'm currently running 4 armageddons and 2 cataclysm, but plan on upping it to 3 cataclysms.

I Plahy stax like it is goin out of style. I have 2 suppression fields in my mainboard and 2 in my sideboard. I thinkin of puttin the other 2 in there. Its real good against a lot of decks.
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
On a side note: take a look at my new funky Geddons!
clicky
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
Ward of Bones 6
Artifact Rare
Each opponent who controls more creatures than you can't play creature cards. The same is true for artifacts, enchantments and lands.
I think this card has some testing potential at the least...its quite slow, but has the ability to limit your opponents permanents..
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
I don't think that card will stop anything: if the casting cost was lower it would, but by the time you can play it, you should have a softlock already.
Re: [Deck] Armageddon Stax
Ward of Bones @ Creatures: Reminds of Crawlspace. Zero synergy with taxing/Tabernacle/Kor Haven/evasive lifegain. Awful, like Crawlspace.
@ Artifacts and Enchantments: Most decks only need one in play at the time. Useless
@ Lands: Kinda cool post-armageddon.
Price tag: six mana.
Verdict: Not even worth testing, at least as far as I'm concerned.
