I see your point. I personally fear discard much more than wasteland. Islands really are the key. It's rare for me to play a Cloudpost which I will rely on for basic spells. I wouldn't plan on seeing two needles, but the order I listed is the priority list, most often. I also run two, currently. Overall I still struggle with Jund, and I hope others will chime in on their ideas.Quote:

Why red over black? Deluge, Golgari Charm, Thoughtsieze, Dread of Night seem more reliable against DnT/Elves in a color that has better combo hate. Plus there's already a black land in the deck.Quote:

Eh. Sure, but 20-30 man events, and his previous list, that he performed better with, ran candelabra. Trying to present candel-less builds as viable standards when they are by far the minority is a bit deceiving to say the least.Quote:

First, thanks to all of you, especially to Rock Lee, for all the good job you've done with this deck.
Last week, a UGw post ramp list won a 23 player event in France. I know that's a really small event!
That was the list played:
LAnd (24)
4 Cloudpost
4 Glimmerpost
2 Vesuva
3 Flooded strand
1 Misty rainforest
4 Tropical island
1 Tundra
3 Island
1 Karakas
1 Eye of ugin
Monsters 7
1 Emy
1 Kozy
1 Ula
4 primeval titan
Other Spell (29)
4 Top
4 Brainstorm
4 Crop rotation
4 Repeal
4 Force of Will
4 Show and Tell
3 couterbalance
1 Ponder
1 Candelabra
Side
4 Flusterstorm
2 Swan song
1 Venser
3 Terminus
1 Devastation tide
1 Tabernacle
1 Bojuka bog
1 Glacial chasm
1 Plaine
I'm wondering what you guys think of the inclusion of counterbalance in the deck? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that the card was already discussed in the topic.
I know it costs UU, which is not negligible.
In his report, the player wrote that he sided them out almost everytime, but he only played once against combo (Sneak show).
If you think that this could be an idea worth working on, what about replacing the maps by sylvan scrying, in order for the deck to have 2CMC spells?
Edit: I'm not discussing about the pros of splashing white, just asking about the pros and cons of playing counterbalance in the UG "classic" list.
Thank you for your comments and sorry if I made many grammar errors!:smile:
Hrm...with the rise of TNN decks, is it viable in a Bant TE build to run Path to Exile as your spot-removal, and Terminus for your mass removal needs?
Why path to exile over swords to plowshares?Quote:

If you want to use counterbalance, then you should play miracles. Otherwise, in the same matches you would keep counterbalance that might as well be an Ethersworn Canonist. Testing has found however that most of the time it was just better to mainboard Force of Will.Quote:

Because, of most of the top-tier midrange decks, there are only about 2 that play more than one basic land - the Stoneblade decks can't afford to play basics. Hence, you play PtE, which reads 'exile target creature not named True-Name Nemesis.'Quote:

My argument is that, in a meta with few basic lands, Path is better than StP in most cases because of the fact that, in those matchups, you aren't giving your opponent a buffer against PrimeTime beats. And that would only be in a GUw list (which, i might add, is not the main list and is an offshoot).Quote:

I don't think you fully understand this deck. Primeval Titan isn't a win condition and rarely ever will be. You're playing Primeval Titan for the lands you get from it. I barely even remember that it deals 6 damage anymore. Path to Exile gives your opponent an advantage that is much worse than the life gain.Quote:

Primeval Titan can win, but he is not for that. Primeval Titan fetches lands, those lands generate enough mana to find and/or cast Eldrazi. He's a condition that makes winning easier, but to be more accurate: Primeval Titan is not a finisher.Quote:

Which is often all you need to win the game in the following turns.
