4 Standstill, 4 Force, 4 Brainstorm. There are Landstill lists running CounterTop, but there isn't a consensus on how to build the deck and in general they have had very little tournament success...

I may agree on playing Standstill vs. a Confidant (at least if you don't have any answer in hand), but I'm very, very skeptical of doing so against a Confidant and Divining Top. If you are only...

Just a friendly reminder to keep your heads cool while discussing what particular type of fantasy-themed collectible gaming card to stick in your favourite pile of fantasy-themed collectible gaming...

I agree with konsultant's general point, have no opinion on Progenitus beating everything but Landstill (because I haven't tried it yet), and disagree that Landstill players should board Perish since...

Illissius meant activate a 1-counter Jace (killing it), then play another and immediately activate that one.

I'm intrigued by this design. Wouldn't it fit better in UGB rather than UWB, though? Garruk is far better than Elspeth, in my opinion. Plus a draw engine that lets you cast spells makes Tarmogoyf...

Elspeth, Knight Errant

Planeswalker - Elspeth Mythic Rare
+1: Put one 1/1 white Soldier token into play.
+1: Target creature gets +3/+3 and gains flying until end of turn.
-8: For the rest...

I think the crucial point where I have to disagree with you is how long it takes to reach the late-game by naturally making land drops. Considering that Wastelands are going to eat a few of both...

Please detail your argument a bit more. Do you disagree that, against Dreadstill, your Standstill is considerably likely to misfire if played before turn 5 or so?

I usually board out two, more if I have relevant cards to sideboard in.

The reason is that, in the early game, Dreadstill with its 3 Wastelands can play without spells better than you, and if it...

Why? Standstill is a great draw spell here. If you really wanted to bring in Halos (which is debatable, given all the EE@2 you'll blow up, and that Baseruption has a more diversified threat base than...

I meant it for konsultant's Wish-less version. Wish lists should just run a better Disenchant effect and a better spot removal effect, since they can pick according to the situation.

An interesting option is to sideboard Vindicate or Mortify, which handle both Gaddock Teeg and Counterbalance in one neat package. Mortify's instant speed enables you to kill Teeg without risking...

@DiF: What's up with the 3x BEBs postboard? With the 3x Runed Halo configuration, I can't think of a red deck that gives me big problems - some Red Thresh builds being the exception, but not because...

Just thought I'd drop by to tell how I've lost the finals of an 87-person online tournament with UWb Landstill with the best brain fart ever:



It's the second game, I have won the first. I'm at...

So you say that "Humility sucks because Grip exists"? Whether that's true or not, it's unrelated to the point I was making (Humility gets better the fewer threats your opponent runs). Unless you...

My, that's some backwards reasoning, isn't it? If they run fewer threats, then Humility becomes better, not worse, because they can't overwhelm you with lots of 1/1s. I have won through a Humility...

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this: I see your points and they're valid (other than "from 3 mana the lategame is near", which I think is just false), but in my opinion the few...

I'm surprised that you dislike Crucible, Clemens (especially considering the presence of Stax and Loam in das alte Deutschland). Personally, I still find it key, particularly for the control matchup,...

Nice job. A few questions.



No Mages? They would have been great in the Deed Landstill pseudo-mirror. EDIT: Nm, read below.



If you don't run Eternal Dragon, then I would say that a...

Also: Ruins+EE (assuming you've Extirpated Loam already), Meddling Mage.

Runed Halo may not work for tokens, but you can name Raven's Crime with it.

Just picture yourself using Oblivion Stone to survive against Goblins.

A perfectly good alternative. Works well if there's little Stax/DS in your meta. Arguably better in the mirror as well,...
