yes i think dubbel urborg is perfect. the synergy with Eye is just too good. it also prevents getting to much damage from tomb. i dislike karakas, not only because there are better options, but because it doenst give colorlessQuote:

That new displacer d&t deck also looks particularly threatening
What do you guys consider worse; Blood Moon or Back to Basics?
I have played http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/426187#online lately. It has at least ok mirror as you can remove 4 chalices and 2 thorns. To my limited knowledge wasteland version is still quite even vs W/x builds. Much more consistent mana. Obviously Displacer and World Breaker hurt a lot if it goes there.Quote:

i managed to win against blood moon i think twice...one time by casting wail in response to make 1/1 for colorless --> smasher the turn after...the other simply winning with mimic/endless ones beatdownQuote:

I want to sleeve up a version of Eldrazi for a testing gauntlet tomorrow. Any suggestions on a pretty standard build that most players at a big event might be playing?
i have no room in the sideboard for extra hate + i dont like displacerQuote:

What better options are there compared to Karakas? I assume you mean Endbringer, which is great, but I don't think I could ever consider it better than Karakas at doing the Karakas thing. Karakas can protect you from Reanimator or Marit Lage starting at T1, whereas Endbringer comes online typically T4 at the earliest.Quote:

Also what land did you cut for a tower of magistrate when testing it
Also post board, how aggressively are you mulling for a hate piece (typically leyline)
karakas will get wastelanded/ported/ghost quarted before they go off. it can only delay at best, because the always make the token EOT. i do really like it against reanimator. but the one off bullet wont make the difference most of the time.Quote:

I'm going to play this list http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/426187#online in which I cut Tower for 3rd Wasteland. Still 50:50 if I run 2 AiD or 3. If 2 then I'll add 1 Spatial.Quote:

deathblade is the worst match for eldrazi. i lose 8/10 matches. swords/tnn/stoneforge/verdict/snappy/fow is just hidiousQuote:

I'm new to this forum and to the deck. I played my first tournament with noloam's list last weekend and went 3-3 with it. I beat shardless bug, miracles and merfolk. I lost twice to bug delver and once the mirror.
The bug delver seems to be compleately different animal than the other delver decks and I'd love to here some sideboarding tips for the matchup. Chalice seemed bad because they play 4 decays. They can also lock down the ground with tarmogoyfs while shredding your hand with hymn to tourachs.
Against tarmos I felt like I'd love to play blinkmoth nexus instead of mishra's factories. Have anyone else thought about playing the blinkmoths?
Went 2-0-1 at game night with w/g
Round 1: 2-1 vs Blazing Shoal Infect
Deck is very close to the no ban modern list, some tweaks are adding daze, force, and progenitus
Game 1: Figured what he was doing pretty fast, TKS took out shoal and I just out paced him
Game 2: He had a turn 2 kill, not much going on here
Game 3: He fights my TKS with force, I warping wail his dude in response to a summoners pact, he cant get the kill and loses
Round 2: 2-0 vs U/G Infect
Game 1: Displacer was a power house, he fought over warping wails on my turn and it wasn't much of a fight
Game 2: Second verse same as the first, brought in dismember, baited out some spells to kill his guys, displacer locked down his team
Round 3: Draw vs Burn
We drew to split the credit, played a lot of games for fun, this match just seems unwinnable. I have 2 Zuran Orbs in the side, didn't do much. Only time I won was with a Chalice on 1 and 2. He has bridges in the side to keep me at bay if needed.
Feeling pretty good about the weekend. Wondering if its worth bothering with the Orbs for Burn. Is Leyline of Sanctity too greedy to try to run 4? Im not running Void, using Macabre for Graveyard hate. I just feel like burn is unwinnable.
yes i whould understand when people whould cut chalice. i dont cute it, it still is a tempo deck with infinite 1 drops. decay hits most of your good cards, so you cant play arround that one. if he has to decay the chalice and let the 6/6 endless one life, thats fine with meQuote:
