In the decks I want to board in the anti-hate, my Dryad Arbors are dying before they can do any good. So, where to put a forest or two? Initial thought is for one of the dryad arbors, but that's stupid. Not sure where to make a cut, I'd prefer it to be in the sb. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers,
love this deck
@ ahg113
I think the typical protocol would be dedication to either Reverent Silence or Nature's Claim, then +2 fetchland, +1 Forest to SB.
However, if you're running into enough GY hate to justify 7-10 (10 including 2 Fetch, 1 Forest) cards in your SB, that may also suggest you are not running into very much Storm or Belcher (which frequently outraces us with or without hate), so you might be able to cut the Mindbreak Traps.
After years of waiting, I look forward to competing this Sunday with Manaless Dredge @ SCG: Baltimore!
Here's hoping I get to see your zombies in action next to me and not across from me :pQuote:

How did you feel when topdecked it expecting another card?
THx°!
If you seen Feline while your there tell her David said hello! If she isn't sure who your talking about just tell he what deck you are playing and she will know who your talking about. :P I almost talked her into picking up the deck after SCG Milwaukee.Quote:

I played in a 24 man tourney yesterday at my local store with Manaless Ichorid yesterday. I had not played Magic in a year and wanted to have some fun. I ran something close to Hollywood deck list with the Serum Powder (minus the fetch, dryad arbor and bloodghast). I went 3-1-1 into top8 then went to top4. Sadly I had to drop was running short on time. I had a blast playing this deck.
My match up were: Game 1 against Punishing Maverick. Game 2 against some kind on Aggro Loam with Dark Depth. Game 3 was against Pox (totally crushed him). Game 4 was an instant draw. Top 8 was against some Pod deck. I won every game using dread return on flayer or beating people down with Ichorid and Nether Shadow. Props Hollywood for your awesome list I had a blast playing it.
So, what list exactly did you play?Quote:

The second game is more of a blow-out. My opponent was cool about it though. :)
With Manaless, honestly, the core group of cards are so strong that the other flex slots are really just there to have fun with. The old list works just fine and still does what it does.
To anyone interested, I piloted my manaless deck to a top 32 finish at SCG Baltimore finishing 7-2. Heres the list I ran.
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
4 Stinkweed Imp
4 Golgari Thug
3 Shambling Shell
4 Dread Return
1 Flayer of the Hatebound
4 Phantasmagorian
4 Street Wraith
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Ichorid
4 Nether Shadow
4 Bridge from Below
4 Narcomoeba
4 Chancellor of the Annex
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Balustrade Spy
SB:
4 Force of Will
4 Disrupting Shoal
4 Mindbreak Trap
2 Faerie Macabre
1 Blightsteel Colossus
I originally had played this in the 4 round legacy challenge on Saturday going 4-0 fairly easily so I wanted to try it in the open and it performed beautifully. One match I lost could've easily gone either way for multiple turns, but I couldn't flip another ichorid/phantasmagorian/nether shadow over 3 turns and he got me. Overall I was very impressed with the deck and will probably play it in another open. Also to note, I beat storm, various UWR and BUG decks throughout the day only losing to deathrite shaman once since I couldn't find a second dredger via phantasmagorian.
Nice one! Congrats my man!Quote:
