For Tog, you still have that

DRC > Delver
Faithless Looting > Careful Study

So red looks good. Example:


//Creatures: 14
4 Dragon's Rage Channeler

What madness payoffs would you play? Rootwalla is not exciting on turn 3. The 4/4 wurms aren't so hot anymore when you can make a 3/3 flying for R. Putrid Imp is better in that you can vomit out...

Troll, Wraith and Lorien Revealed are good for Psychatog (fill graveyard faster).

Shadow doesn't do much with Tog, but it's another good body to Berserk. Berserk is pretty bad with Delver and just...

Subtlety tech has been used by some and discussed here before, but is rare.

It's a 1-mana body with Stifle or Slip, like Grief scam. It's an interesting reaction to the Scam meta. If opponent...

Bargain costs 2U or 3W while Griselbrand costs B or 1B, and Tin Fins isn't even a tier deck.

At fair cost it could slide into those Mind's Desire storm shells (ie Storm that doesnt care about...

22 lands might be better. I got manascrewed in a few games, especially against Wastelands.

Edit:
+1 Bloodstained Mire
+1 Castle Ardenvale

-1 Lion Sash (move to SB)
-1 Fable?

Turned out to be consistent: observation, not speculation. You can accurately test consistency. How often and easily you can assemble the combo, protection, variance, etc.

Turned out to be...

I've been experimenting with Staff Bowmaster brews and decided to splash red:


//Lands: 20
4 Marsh Flats
4 Arid Mesa
3 Scrubland
3 Plateau
2 Badlands
1 Plains

I'll play. Thanks for organizing!

Bob's dead. Call of the Ring or Staff of the Storyteller are the 2cmc draw engines that are still competitive.

Mindblade Render seems pretty bad, maybe better than other Bob variants but not...

Storm can still add Lurrus at no cost. It combos well with LED and is an alternate wincon with lifegain. With Lurrus it should be easier to hit nig mana for Peer & Mind's Desire, or recover from...

Turned out in testing.

It didn't have an impact on the format, but it was underplayed and really could have after a Lurrus ban. Once others discovered the Bant build, it was showing up in Legacy...

At the time companion cost 0. Delver absolutely wants "0: draw a nonland card" in a fair 1-for-1 mirror, to the point where it defined and broke the format.

At cost 3, yeah, maybe Lurrus is...

Is Lurrus that good as a regular card?

Lurrus Delver mainly played it to have +1 free card. Then other decks had to play it, otherwise you're playing a blue mirror at -1 card (i.e. loss). Maindeck...

It could easily be replaced by Bowmasters at 2 mana. Not blue, but more proactive play.

If you're playing BUG tempo with Berserk, I think the 1 drop you want is either Death's Shadow or Dreadnought, not Delver. It would involve changing a few other slots but then at least your other...

Other useful tech in this build...

Many proactive turn 1 plays that curve under T2 Standstill: Jewel, Currency Converter, Rod

T1 Jewel curves into T2 EOT 2/2 Shark. In general, Sharks can get...

Depends on the game state. I've gone for both Lost Mine and Dungeon of the Mad Mage so far. Tomb of Annihilation is too suicidal.

Between Lost Mine and Dungeon, it really depends on how long it...

The Enigma Jewel, aka blue Sol Ring, looks like it has potential here. It curves out turn 1 under Standstill, pitches to Force, and pays for all the many activated abilities.

I've been testing...

Hmm to avoid manascrew you may want:
- More green sources
- Less demand for early green mana (Exploration, Veil)
- More colorless tech
- Cut Crop Rotation (-1 land hurts a deck trying to...

4x Balance is just too easy to break, even before Planeswalkers. If you haven't played much with it (most players haven't unless you play in custom casual formats), it's not a fair Smallpox card like...

I'm talking about the new spoiled blue card The Enigma Jewel, a "fixed" Sol Ring that costs U and can only be used on activated abilities. For a colorless mana-hungry deck like Post, it could be a...

Desire threw a bone to Johnny storm brewers. While not changing the final competitive metagame much, a lot of players had fun brewing with Desire for a while. It led to attempts to innovate in Storm,...

No primer here for 4c/5c Yorion. Feel free to make one!

It's grown distinct enough from the older UWx control that it deserves a separate thread, especially the Beanstalk builds.

Earthcraft seems safe to unban. Twin sees almost no play in Legacy and is a better color set for infinite token combos.

I doubt they'll unban Mind Twist. It's not unbeatable, but like T1 Ragavan...
