Glad to see some discussion on here. I, for one, am pretty excited to start testing these new cards. Since the banning, I've been pretty tempted to move Price of Progress to the sideboard, at least...

I took down a nineteen person tournament at my LGS this past weekend. Five rounds of Swiss, then cut to top eight.

Round 1: Matt on Punishing Jund (2/1)
Round 2: Gabe on Burn (2/1)
Round 3: Ed...

What does everyone think of this list? Deflecting Palm out of the board with a single Plateau in the main. Spicy.

I've seen some people run Sun Droplet, but I haven't tested it much myself. Unfortunately, it also gets destroyed by Smash to Smithereens.

If you want to go really deep with a sideboard card for...

I thought there might be some sort of possible shinanigans with Smokestack. Thank you for explaining this line of play.

I'm excited to test this card!

Edit:
I brought this up with some Legacy...

The combination of Smokestack and Goblin Rabblemaster seems fun! I'll have to try this out.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad to see some discussion about the Death and Taxes match-up. What are people boarding out against this deck?

I'm playing a copy of Avalanche Riders in the board of my Imperial Recruiter build and it has been fun. For anyone who likes the tool box nature of the Moggcatcher builds, I suggest giving...

Hi, everyone,

I've been playing R/W Painter for the past year, but since Sensei's Divining Top got banned, I've started brewing with Chalice of the Void and Blood Moon again.

I went 3-1 at my...

Whether or not you agree with the recent banning of Sensei's Divining Top, it is quite possible that Burn is well positioned in the new meta-game. At the very least, we can probably free up some side...

Thanks for streaming, Moomba. It's always great to have more Painter content to watch. That Stifle from your Miracles opponent was nasty. :laugh:

Hey, schtormy,

Thanks for reading my post. Don't get me wrong, I love Sulfuric Vortex, but I feel like whether I run it main-deck or in the sideboard, or not at all, is dependent on the meta-game....

I agree with you. Death Taxes definitely has quite a few ways of dealing with Ensnaring Bridge. Maybe this was a mistake, but I felt like Ensnaring Bridge might be better than some number of Eidolon...

Hello, everyone,

It has been a while since I've last posted in this thread, but I thought I'd share my recent tournament results with y'all. I've been off Burn for the last year or so since I...

I feel like this could be a fair option if each match had a judge that was timing priority and the punishment was universal (this is currently not the case at some competitive REL events, as Jullian...

I understand, but that doesn't mean we can't modify the chess clock system in such a way so that it works for Magic. Cartesian's post above is a suggestion of one possible modification. We should try...

I was just thinking the same thing. Some sort of modfied chess clock app modeled after the mtgo system, where players can opt out of receiving priority, might actually be possible. I don't think we...

I've also cut Sulfuric Vortex for Exquisite Firecraft and I think it might be a good idea. Considering Miracles is playing Wear // Tear and Monastery Mentor, Exquisite Firecraft seems like a better...

Because of Miracles' prevalence in the meta-game right now, I'm curious what everybody is doing to combat this match-up. I was watching Joe Lossett's stream the other day and he mentioned that Legacy...

This made me laugh. :smile:

I think improving the Miracles match up is a good idea. Jack might be onto something with the four copies of Lightning Bolt and two planeswalkers out of the sideboard. Being able to take out Jace,...

I'm interested if anyone has tested Monastery Mentor in Imperial Painter. I've been playing one copy in the main deck for a little while now and it seems pretty good, especially when you board in...

While it is always important to consider your metagame, Eidolon of the Great Revel was one of the printings that helped Burn become a competitive strategy. I wouldn't go to a larger Legacy tournament...

Congratulations on the big win, McBain. :smile:

I'd love to see your list and a report if you don't mind.
