Ha ha. He is definitely not my favorite player. I played against him at the Dallas open, and he complained as well when I, finally, after drawing dead several turns in a row ripped a natural order....

Thanks, and sorry for the slow reply.

I have been pretty bumbed about magic, so I didn't feel like discussing it much (get enough from friends irl). Almost all of my time playing magic it has been...

Yes, and I regret dedicating as much of my sideboard to combo as I did. I should also not have run nearly that many enlightened tutors in the board.

That said, I went 6-0 in the swiss, defeating...

I think I'd be more scared of grim lavamancer on average, or did zoo never draw one in your testing?
Naming grim seems like it would also be really good.
I think revoker sounds like it could be...

Except that all but 1 squirrel is tapped, so you can only swing for 1 turn 3.
Obviously you wouldn't play concordant crossroads.

The deck would be very fair; after you combo off your opponent...

Anyone watch the most recent Magic Show where they interviewed Patrick Chapin for most of it?
He made some strong comments on the power level of the deck.

However, I do believe that banning...

I just sold my playset of survivals (and loyal retainers) off ebay, getting $25-30 for each of them. None were in particularly good condition however, so perhaps they'd have gone for $30-35...

That is awesome. :smile:
BTW, if it is vengevine that gets axed, make sure to eliminate the last shred of root!

Many posters here would prefer the unbanning of cards to try and balance the...

I can think of at least three distinct times I played against rock with GW survival.
My record was 2-0 each time.
Perhaps your list is different from the usual?

I've long thought survival of the fittest had an extraordinary power level.
Even when survival decks weren't good, a resolved survival meant you win the game if you have mana.
I'm not much of a...

Pinoy, do you have problems with reading comprehension?

I know even a lot of Rb goblin lists run 4 badlands and 4 Auntie's Hovel so that they can avoid running fetches.

Stifle is for the most...

First of all, in the metagame here there was no combo (unless you consider enchantress combo), so that was definitely a large point for consideration. Enchantress was simply handled with some...

Emrakul does not answer extirpate, because extirpate has split second.

It it noteworthy that you can pay for vengevine bit by bit; the most you ever need to invest at once is the two mana necessary to get two creatures into play. You also don't need to dump the full 3-4...

I tested a somewhat modified Chapin's list (took out the 4 fauna shamans for enlightened tutors, and I also took out 2 tops) against zoo preboard and it lost most of the games, but it won a decent...

I wrote a brief tournament report on here, but then closed firefox before posting so it was lost.
The primary point was/is to demonstrate how many games were won without survival-a good half, which...

For what its worth, memnite makes ethersworn cannonist useless against you.

I feel like they'd be better with vengevine personally. I honestly haven't tested, but I keep imagining it in my head as...:
Turn 2: cast fauna shaman
Turn 3: discard knight of the reliquary, fetch...

You could put that into the bant survival thread.
I feel like it'd be overall beneficial to up the blue count so that the deck can support fow if you're adding blue anyway.

Well, without squee he would be having to repeatedly draw into creatures to keep it up (and with squee it'd cost GGG for squee->emrakul, emrakul->squee, squee->macabre).
He would also lose any...

In Austin the websites of both Battleforge Games and Pat's Games claim they have 7:00 pm legacy tournaments on Fridays.
Does anyone know to which of these stores everyone goes to play legacy?

Aggro decks in general will get better with the decline in combo.
Lands also dislikes combo, and loves aggro.

Speaking of lands, what is everyone's game plan against it?

Okay, thanks.



Well, short of a godhand, brainstorm always makes me more comfortable keeping a hand. If I don't have brainstorm, I'd almost certainly mulligan a hand with, for example, loyal...

I noted some mistakes I made; one game my opponent cast small pox and I discarded a ponder instead of an iona in case I draw a survival =/. Fairly dumb in hindsight: ponder would see if I was going...

I wonder why this deck apparently meets little success in big tournaments, and doesn't see all that much play.

Personally, this is the only deck I can win with. I scrub out with most everything...
