Thropter runs 4 MD, and the Nassif/UWT board plan where you use Enlightened Tutor to find hate has become pretty popular. DnT is now running it, and I assume SFM Fish and some Bant players are catching on.
It's an *extremely* robust and powerful strategy at handling various types of combo that was laughed at when Nassif did it, and generally flew under the radar until a few months ago. Only in the last few weeks are we seeing decks other than UWT running it, the most popular deck being Thropter Foundry (which has the advantage of Maindecking all four Tutors).
If I had to bet, I'd say it's mostly Thropter Foundry, but that a lot of people are catching on that Enlightened Tutor is extremely playable in Legacy.

I know that some enchantress guys have been playing it as an extra sterling grove or two. I'm not sold on it for that purpose yet, but it's decent.

1 week from now after RoE becomes legal it will get ridiculous once permanents get vaporized by hasty pro-wurbg 15/15 flyers. This kinda sounds like the movie War of the Worlds doesn't it?

LOL @ Sneak Attack! If this strategy ever wins a large tournament I will eat my Black Lotus.

It actually won several tournaments back in 1999 and it popped to ninja some tournaments in Extended. It won against Replenish and Tinker, I would give the deck some credit.

Yeah. That was 11 years ago.

If it happens, I gladly will. But it won't, so it doesn't matter. ;)

According to ebay your highest bid was $200, unless you have two accounts.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
My friend just pointed out to me that every store on the internet is sold out of Thawing Glaciers.
Am I missing something? Is this card even useful outside of EDH?

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
Eh, you're right, that was me on the $200 bid. I was testing the water on it, but forgot about it when I saw that Tropical Island. I bid $500 on one of them lately I know. The Foreign Tropical is me, I've been hunting one of those for a bit to finish up BB'ing my 43 lands deck. I still need one more actually. A little on the high side, but I haven't been able to find one on any of the stores I visit. Oh well, I didn't care too much on price for that one. That was an annoyance bidding. I don't expect prices on these to go down anytime soon anyway. It's getting silly.
Not sure on Thawing Glaciers. I found plenty out there.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I got an FBB Bayou for 70$ last week. Is that good?

They sold out when people were psyched about using it with Amulet of Vigor. This is a fun casual combo - but not really one that seems to have tournament applications.

Re: Raise, raise, raise. The price of cardboard
I tested that, but found the same thing. It's ok at best. Good for fun decks though.
$70 is pretty good for a FBB Bayou. I'd say you got a nice deal.
While Ben is here, I thought I'd ask a question. Can SCG aquire cards from countries such as Germany? I don't know how far reaching the company is and I wondered since I've heard the FBB duals are much cheaper there. Be nice to get a few over here for decent prices. I know I'd jump on it. I can't seem to find them anywhere. Alphas and Betas are even scarcer.
