    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    @mossivo1986
    I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of tutors. I agree with your assessment on Engineered Plague as well. It stops Ichorid cold and unless they splash white for Vindicate, it's...

    @Roman Candle, Hollywood, crz87, Jak.
    I agree with Hollywood and crz87. Cunning Wish has huge advantages in its instant speed. Also, in this particular context, Pulse of the Fields is clearly better...

    I agree on Aether Vial being the dangerous part of Goblin Vial. Until the Vial is removed, your principal draw engine, Standstill, is useless.

    Then don't name your deck after it. Unless you're a fan of naming decks like "Solidarity" or "Rabid Wombat." When you say Burning Landstill, I assume your deck revolves around Burning Wish,...

    Re: [DTB] UW(x) Landstill

    I agree.

    However, the non-specific nature of UWb Landstill can be dangerous. For instance, although Vindicate is an excellent Swiss Army Knife, it is not nearly as useful as more Sword effects in...

    Firespout fails to kill a 3/4 or 4/5 Tarmogoyf, which is the reason why Sword effects are heavily preferred these days.

    People can always bounce back after Firespout, Wrath, and whatnot. A...

    That's a precarious mix of mana you got there. If you run Tolaria West, do not count it as a land. Chances are, you will not ever use it as one unless you are really desperate. Also,...

    Hahaha, I think so too.

    To set the record straight:

    I do not think we should cut Counterspell out of traditional Landstill variants.

    I do not think Spell Snare or Negate are...

    No, Mana Leak fulfills whatever role Negate has quite well. I personally find a loss of late game viability preferable to not being able to counter creature spells.

    The only situation where I would love Negate is against say, a deck that relies on Cabal Therapy. Having alternative counterspells may be useful then.

    Indeed, I have always been more concerned about aggro than combo.

    If you play black, Engineered Plague is the way to go. Wake Thresher doesn't stand a chance.
