If Moat is present in your meta then that's a argument that can be made. If not you can do much better on less mana.

Destabilizing you mana base just for Bolt seems bad when you can just run Dismember and keep the stable mana base.Quote:

I never agreed I like a splash, but that guy was arguing for a splash and i said red would probably be the most efficient for his needs.Quote:

Any advice? Thanks
Assuming MB? Can you post your entire list? I've been running a single echoing truth MB as a catchall and have been loving it. SB I currently have 2 dismember and 2 Swan Song (over pierce) but i am still testing those numbers and SS in general. i think i want more SS (or SP) over dismember as i am personally more afraid of storm decks than creature ones, and after this last weekend sneak and show.Quote:

I cut one Reejerey as I felt I had too mana 3 cmc and that was affecting deck's speed.
I've never run Echoing truth mainboard. It's enough to return something to it's owner hand? I know it's tempo, but at 2 mana... Hmm I don't know
Thank you
Hi
We often talk about the cards we play but not so much how we play them. My friends and I had some debate about it, in particular :
- When and what do you submerge against elfes ?
- What do you usually counter against storm ?
- Would you always counter the vial against D&T ?
I wanted thoughts before going back to my original legacy deck
4 True Name Nemesis
4 LoA
4 Master
4 Image
4 Silver Gill
4 Curse Catcher
4 Force
4 Vial
4 daze
3 Pierce
1 Jitte
13 Island
3 Mutavault
4 Wasteland
1 Pierce
4 Submerge
4 Tidebender Mage
3 Relic of Progen
2 E truth
1 Flusterstorm
vs green decks:
- 4 force
- 4 daze
- 3 Pierce
+ 4 submerge
+ 4 tidebender
+ 3 Relic
vs combo
- 4 tidebender
- 1 Jitte
- 2 Image
+ 1 pierce
+ 1 fluster
+ 2 etruth
+ 3 Relic
vs control on play: nothing
on draw:
- 4 daze
+ 2 etruth
+ 1 pierce
I wouldn't completely cut Reejereys. I have the feeling Engineered Plague and Golgari charm would be played more often, and against those cards we always want a lord on the board.Quote:

That's my thoughts after some games against Shardless. I ended fearing Charm a lot.

Sure it is! I have found nemesis to be the MVP of the deck against many matchups. You just have to chumpblock and keep attacking with him, if the board state wasn't terrible you'll probably win.Quote:

This is the list I'm running:
13 Island
4 Wasteland
4 Mutavault
4 Æther Vial
4 Silvergill Adept
4 Master of the Pearl Trident
4 Lord of Atlantis
4 Phantasmal Image
4 True-Name Nemesis
3 Merrow Reejerey
4 Cursecatcher
4 Force of Will
4 Daze
I am having trouble why a deck of 2/2's are worried about Golgari Charm?
If you don't play Reejerey, the only 2/2's you have are Lord and Master. If you don't draw those, your board is wiped by Golgari Charm.Quote:

Copying Master, Lord, or Slivergil are all quite good plays with Image. If you have four Nemesis, then that makes sixteen targets for your deck. I wouldn't play four myself, just because you could easily gets hands, or draws, that just consist of image, catcher, and nemesis.Quote:

Who knew that, if you play merfolk in a field where everybody plays combo deck, have no Supreme Verdict and plays no creatures, fish would win Vintage Championship? :smile:
Congrats to Mr. Lim.

Fish is pretty good when you don't have to worry about Supreme Verdict. An uncounterable board wipe combined with masses of angels makes one quite sad. :(Quote:
