Wouldn't the activated ability of Keg at two send your Painter(s) packing along with the Revoker, thus nullifying the Grindstone kill here? Or am I missing something...Quote:

I really... REALLY... Encourage anyone who is coming back to, starting anew, or wanting to innovate to play Jack's 60 MD first!!! The deck is fine tuned, tested and proven in the current meta.Quote:

Where is that 60 (+15) to be found? I am in a middle of building this deck, just about 10 cards (magus of the moon, ancient tomb, REB's and some random cards) shy.Quote:

Link from the front page
As an aside: the front page could use some clean up. All the right info is there but requires some scrolling back and forth to find what your looking for. Not sure how to approach it though.
But most common things people are looking for is: overview and deck lists. We should have an R and Rw list right towards the top.

Welcome back Hollywood! I am looking forwards to your new list!Quote:

I have been calling it Enlightened Painter for a bit. It's actually in my deck list on Salvation. I still play it differently though and have my Tutors in the side. I like to Moon game one against my Meta. There are a free decks where I want Tutor over Moon and normally I take out moons and put them in its place for speed.
On RIP. If RIP is in the table all it does is make Grindstone read like this:
Target player exiles the top two cards of his or her library. If both cards share a color, repeat this process.
Explaines it all really.
Lastly, I want am loving Bridge main. Playing against a mate who has borrowed my deck a few times, game one I drop a bridge and he looks me dead in the eye and asks "Did you pre sideboard?" I laugh and tell him no, he swears and I smile as his Progenifish does not a thing.
Gotcha. Didn't see that.Quote:

Dipping back into all sorts of fun stuff! I'm working on a few lists that are configured in various ways.
I just miss locking people out with Blood Moons early.
I can imagine :DQuote:

Beat RUG, BUG, sneak show, reanimator, turbo lands, punishing jund, and Belcher.
I played the same 75 that's been going around except 3sphere was jitte due to high elves and death and taxs build.
I finished just shy of top 16 on breakers.

Hi guys, I'm a painter mono red player, and for a while I was looking for a list of some alternative to the classic one! In my new list propose different exclusion from the main deck of lightning bolts putting 4 gitaxian probe and a 1x bridge! (Idea taken from a post from a guy a few pages before)
What do you think of the list, above all, of the probe in this deck?

4 Imperial Recruiter
1 Jaya Ballard, Task Mage
2 Magus of the Moon
4 Painter's Servant
4 Simian Spirit Guide
1 Phyrexian Revoker
1 Spellskite
4 Gitaxian Probe
3 Pyroblast
3 Red Elemental Blast
4 Blood Moon
4 Grindstone
3 Sensei's Divining Top
1 Ensnaring Bridge
4 Ancient Tomb
4 City of Traitors
7 Mountain
4 Wooded Foothills
1 Great Furnace
SB: 1 Manic Vandal
SB: 1 Phyrexian Revoker
SB: 2 Ensnaring Bridge
SB: 1 Vexing Shusher
SB: 4 Thorn of Amethyst
SB: 1 Ratchet Bomb
SB: 1 Magus of the Moon

While playing mono red in my meta main board bridge was the nuts draw many games. that and a revoker to turn off utility creatures. To that merrit I also keep 2 mainboard in enlightened painter.
Gat probe. I like it if i have say 2 SOL Lands, a painter, a grind stone, a reb, and a monkey. Any other time i think i rather have a reb. Knowing its safe isnt as good in my mind as having the ability to stop them from stoping me. if you catch my drift
Well.... Sometimes I'm missing a Lightning Bolt, but since I've changed my playstyle accordingly, the probe - for me at least - feels soooooo much better... It let's you cycle your library (among other things) and letting you know, what the OP has in hand....Quote:

I dunno, seems to me like a strictly personal card choice. Highly dependent on play style, GProbe has its advantages and disadvantages all around.
For sure it has. No question. But with probe, I'm more focusing on landing a "safe" Blood Moon or going for a quick combo... But I feel that it's the beauty of this deck.... The exact same 75, can be played in such a variety of ways, that I'm not enterily sure I can exploit all of 'em :DQuote:

As a side note, Jack's list made it into the French TCG magazine "Lotus noir" (black lotus) issue 156 of Feb/March this year:

[Edit: added translation]
This deck is entirely based on the card Painter's servant. The goal is to have it in play with Grindstone (which you then simply need to activate to win by milling the opponent's deck entirely). The real strength of this deck is to abuse blue hate cards (blue being the dominating color of Legacy) by maindecking cards which are usually played in sideboards... If your adversary does not play blue, you simply need to name "blue" with Painter's servant to fix that problem. The rest of the deck is mainly made of tutors, mana producers, and especially disruptive cards such as Blood moon and Ensnaring bridge.
Probe has promise, but I fear it can bite in longer games. On top of the damage from Tomb, it's going to hurt you if the other guy is on a fast beat down path.
I'm ready to start painting again!
Glad to hear it man. Are you going to be making it down to the MD/VA area to play?
Congrats Jack!
About Gitaxian Probe, the info it provides is valuable however I am not sure the info it provides is worth the two life and the increased difficulty to properly mulligan bc you are essentially only seeing six of your seven cards. And since proper mulling with the deck is such a huge aspect of success, I'm not sure over a large event with many rounds that you will see the advantage. Just my two sense.
Seth
Probably not that far down anytime soon, but definitely at the May event in Binghamton. Caffrey's events too, possibly.
Thi is my firts time playing Strawberry Shortcake / Enlightened Painter, i "tested" at one of the local lgs. The tournament vas very small (unsanctioned) 6 people including the owner, the deck were the following.
1) Lands (DD)
2) Shortcake
3) Elves
4) Miracles
5)Goblin
6) UWR delver
My match went like this:
Uwr delver 0 -Painter 2
Game 1: i stabilize at 2 an i combo ftw, he didn't see any lighting bolt
Game 2: Back and forth trade spells, but at the last moment i combo ftw
Lands(DD) 2 - Painter 0
(I never had any experience with this deck)
Game 1: Ensaring bridge 1st turn, he is able in the long term to get a living wish and Destroy it
Game 2: I got stuck to 2 lands.
Goblin 0 - Painter 2
Game 1 : he beat the crap out of me, i cast bridge whic buys enough time to assemble the combo
Game 2: I'm able to get a ratchet bomb to 3 and destroy his lords, the i kill the remaining creature with firebolt and combo ftw
Ps: I used Kap'n Cook List
PPS: i own 995́% of the deck, i miss only the recruiter T.T
There's no shame in missing the Recruiters. I'm going to get burned at the stake for saying I have no intention on obtaining them or playing them in my new list(s).

I know Imperial Recruiter is an iconic card in this archetype. I'm just tinkering around with iterations that don't require it.

Hahah Jandax :D
Well, against a fast clock - yeah sure - they may not be that great, but heck... I'm feeling what you're saying...
I card i really miss in the deck though - is Ensnaring Bridge.... Freakin' hell, I missed that card yesterday... 2x SneakyShow :O :O
@ Michael Keller: No recruiters?, That's a bold choice.
Ps: terrible pun i know
You punted pretty hard
