This surprises me. I figured it would be a turn 1 bomb against anything with blue. Do you feel that you tested it enough?

I'm wondering why I do not see discussion about Hope of Guirapur. Has this card been vetted?

Revoker is hard to get right because you have to know the name of the planeswalker in advance, but ya know. That is what you do in DnT.

I would love to hear how Unsettled Mariner has been playing for you.

Really? Even giving them a land?

I think the sorcery speed part is really the only large issue. Your Plains are quite hard to destroy, so they are going after the enchantment here most of the...

Just saw On Thin Ice. Card looks like the extra removal this deck needs to back up StP in some matchups.

Can someone explain to me why we should not be playing all snow plains now?

In short, Magic has ways to punish nonbasic lands - which are relatively common in Legacy - that this deck mostly avoids. The large number of basic lands in D+T is actually enough of an advantage as...

I'm pretty sure Fire and Ice is still better than either of these. Looking forward to the UB sword.

I think it is good in both those categories. There are certainly some games against storm where the opponent can not quite get it going until turn 3 (or 4 if you are on the draw), especially if you...

Wonderful.
I bet she is fantastic in the mirror. Jitte. Karakas in a pinch. Ballista.

I have said in the distant past that this deck would run 8 mother of runes were it possible. Of course...

Thanks for sharing. He is a good writer.

The comparison to wingmate is apt, to be sure. But it is cleay not a direct comparison. This thing does not attack and instead has an extra defense ability. But it is harder for something like...

We are going to have to talk about Dovin. It looks to me like a serious candidate for maindeckedness.

In fact, given how hard it will be to kill in DnT with all of our creatures, I might even...

Yes. They both say "target". Interestingly, I wanted to make a nasty stupid deck with Tomik, Port, and Kudzu, but it does not target. Poopie.

Tomik is an interesting card, to be sure. My suspicion is that it does not currently have a place in this deck. A 2/3 for 2 that flies with no drawbacks is about as good as anyone could ask for in...

Heh. I'm sure it was a simple error. I will PM him.

Warping Wail was frustrating to play for me even in the “right matchups” from the board. It made me not want to disrupt with my Ports as I might need that mana for Wail, and it made me not want to...

I quite like Dismember for the mirror, and not Manriki-Gusari at all. But my favorite is now Walking Ballista. It is the only way to get rid of Mother of Runes without serious drawbacks, and it has...

Phil, I really enjoyed this. Your knowledge of the meta has gotten to strong, and you have become so good at D+T. Thanks for sharing and keep it up!

Damping sphere seems like a straight up win. It hits a lot of the classically hardest matchups for this deck: elves, mana ramp. The fact that it also hoses storm is merely an additional benefit.

Probably not. The card for that matchup is Sanctum Prelate, I think. But a card with such a broadly powerful effect that reins in the power of decks that are traditionally strong against D+T simply...

You guys seen Lavinia?

Terminus and Force of Will hoser. As well as storm combo. Eldrazi <-- nope. Elves, maybe? What else?
...

No. :(

As much as she slows down most opponents, she is ghastly bad in the mirror, and not much better against Miracles. She is in my "reserve stack" though. You know the one.

Spirit guide mana is best against combo. It’s pretty bleh against Daze, honestly. Pitching it to counter Daze does not actually happen. Thalia gets played turn 1 instead. In fact, anything that...

{lowers head} I must confess that I have used Winter Orb in my tutor sideboard for ages. It is still good against Miracles and especially ramp decks like the green/blue Eldrazi decks with Cloudpost....
